Easy style tips: Create a sense of space in your living room.

Make a small room feel larger with easy style tricks.

  • Pull your sofa, armchairs and side tables away from the walls so that you can see the space beyond them. It has the effect of making the room feel bigger.

  • Reduce visual clutter by using fewer, larger pieces of furniture and accessories.

  • Simple lines and shapes can also help to bring a sense of calm and open space into your room.

  • Accentuate a feel of space by covering sofas and chairs with plain or textured upholstery rather than bright prints. Neutral tones in lighter colors will make a room feel larger.

  • Inject colour with simple accessories which are also economical to change and up date.
