CEBU, Philippines - Good interior design should make the most of the available space and make the room appear as large as possible while making it look pleasing, as well. Here are some smart space-stretching ideas with corresponding pictures from Montserrat homes to maximize minimal space in your home.
Start at the ceiling. Hang the curtains from the highest possible point on the wall to let the fabric flow freely and to tug the eye upward.
Choose furniture that makes a smaller home cozy and efficient, like a large ottoman that doubles as a table. Include built-ins to add plenty of much-needed storage like a built-in bookcase in the living room to hold books and display items.
Place m irrors to serve as room expanders, giving an illusion of space. Give each room its own treatment. Differentiate the living room from the dining room for example by making the texture in each space unique but keep the tones similar and unified.
Draw the eye upward to create the illusion of more volume. Crown molding of a darker shade, for example, defines the ceiling; or a striped wall also stretches the height of the walls in the room and emphasize large windows and let lots of light in to also help visually enlarge the room.
