Many people make the common mistake of pushing everything against the wall, but the room will actually have more flow if you move pieces 36 inches away from the walls. It offers greater range of movement as people can then pass comfortably behind or in front of your furniture pieces.

 

 

Select a large rug instead of a small accent rug. A good rule of thumb is to have the rug extend to just pats where the furniture is situated. Anything else will actually make the room appear smaller.

 

 

Using mirrors is an old decorator’s trick, but it works. They help reflect light back into the room and make the walls appear further away. One is plenty per room though and it should not be any more than 3/4 the size of the wall.

 

 

Whether its floor lamps or bookcases, pick tall pieces. They will draw the eye up and make the ceilings appear higher.

 

 

It’s okay to purchase large-scale sofa, but make sure that every inch counts. You want to have lots of seating space, but don’t buy one that has lots of bulky, unnecessary details like overstuffed rolled arms. They take up too much space and don’t provide any function.

 

 

Stay away from heavy-looking furniture. Opt for something light and airy instead. Having glass pieces also help to make the room feel open due to their transparency.

 

 

Hanging two pictures vertically forms a column of art that makes the room appear loftier.

 

 

If you are not lucky enough to have floor-to-ceiling windows, mount curtain rods high above the window frame. The long sweep of fabric lends an air of grandness.
