No matter the size of your home, it never hurts to create the feeling of a larger space. There are many ways, such as glass mirrors near Houston , to make a small space seem larger or make a large space seem even more grand. Below you will get a look at just a few simple ways to make your home seem bigger while adding unique style.

Strategically-Placed Mirrors

It is common knowledge that glass mirrors are the perfect design option to create an illusion of extra space. By reflecting light and nearby furnishings, glass mirrors make the human mind think it is in a larger area. By strategically placing mirrors around your home, you can make the entire space feel like a mansion. In the largest room, typically the living room, hang a large mirror on the wall or over a fireplace. If it has some sort of design or framing that makes it look like a window or door, then you can add an intriguing design and feel of openness to your living room.

Raised Chairs and Couches

When you are working with limited space, you need to take advantage of all the space you have. Refrain from cluttering your house with needless furniture or overly large items. Keep decorations, knickknacks, and clashing décor to a minimum. If you can, find chairs and couches that have long legs and open spaces underneath. This is another way to create an illusion of space in a small room and house.

Shades of Color

While choosing your color scheme, take the entire house into account. Each room should complement or match the space outside or immediately next to it. For example, if your living room is painted with a teal blue, then paint the room next to it with another shade, close to teal, of blue or green. Keep transitioning areas, such as hallways and entryways, in neutral tones that match each other. This will maintain a consistent flow throughout the house.
