Some basic ideas:
1. Use a neutral color palette. Calming colors are easy on the eyes; opt for light-colored furniture to make your space appear larger.
2. Utilize vertical space. Add visual interest on walls, whether it's with art, shelving, or window treatments.
3. Think about scale. Choose
furniture that's proportional to the room's size. An oversized sofa
will overwhelm a small living room, instead try a loveseat.
4. Try multi-functional furniture. Use pieces that do double-duty, like a storage ottoman as a coffee table or a cocktail ottoman that works as seating, too.
5. Consider lighting. A well-lit space
instantly
creates an airy feel. Install sheer, lightweight curtains to filter in
soft, natural light, or use mirrors to reflect light.
