When furnishing an environment, one of the main problems is related to space. Especially if you are dealing with a limited square footage, you have to try to put in place all possible tricks to make it look like wider and more airy. For what concern living room, it is essential that it is bright and that it gives a feeling of openness: this is because it is the environment where we receive guests and therefore it is essential to be welcoming and open.
How then? Just follow these four simple tricks and your living room will immediately appear optically larger, obviously without giving up on seasonal trends.
The floor
Let’s start from the base: to make your living room seem larger, a trick can be to choose the continuous floor. It means keeping the same material and color of the room for the neighboring rooms: this will create an effect of continuity that will automatically make the space wider. If, on the other hand, we have an existing floor and cannot change it, we can opt for a large carpet in light colors: it will optically increase the space also thanks to the solid color. Another idea is to choose it in nuance with furniture and accessories.
Furniture and accessories: strictly large
One might think the opposite, but in truth mobile and great complements (and preferably light in color) will make the living room larger. This is because many small accessories will fill the spaces making it asphyxiated. Better a large sofa protagonist of the living room rather than many armchairs that get in the way.
Suspended or transparent furniture
Choose to equip the walls with suspended furniture frees up the living room space. Taking advantage of the walls is a great way to free up the walkable surface and give a feeling of greater breadth.
If instead we prefer to opt for classic furniture, in addition to the evergreen white or light wood, glass, plexiglass is metal they are the best choice: they will not block the light but will allow it to filter through.
The general rule however is: straight lines, geometric shapes, reduced thicknesses, light colors or no colors.
Light as furniture
How to make the most of the light? First of all we choose for the walls the White, an obvious choice at first glance but which will prove to be a winner, then we take advantage of the mirrors. Placing them in front of the window will help reflect light, but be careful not to blind! Studying the layout well is essential and it is always better to choose, even in this case, one large element rather than many small ones.
As for artificial lighting, let’s set aside the chandeliers – the better spotlights or ceiling lamps oriented in different directions.
