How to decorate to make the house look spacious

1. Don’t fill the living room too full, try to choose light furniture

Most people don't have a good sense of space when renovating for the first time, so they tend to buy oversized furniture. Many sofas that look small in a spacious showroom can look incredibly crowded in your home, visually shrinking the space. Also, if your living room isn't very large, be careful when choosing a large, boxy coffee table, as it can make the space seem cramped.

For smaller apartments, opt for a lightweight sofa to create ample living space and create a sense of space. If you prefer a long or corner sofa, opt for a minimalist sofa with thin legs. For other small furniture, choose lightweight, space-saving pieces. Leather or fabric sofas are both excellent choices.

2. If the living room is not large, the TV background wall should be designed as simply as possible.

A design must contrast simplicity and complexity to look good. If your living room is small, keep the background wall minimalist to create a more spacious space. In fact, if your home's soft furnishings are well-designed, this TV background wall won't look monotonous. You can also try this design: half of the wall is decorated with cabinets, and the other half is left blank, so the space won't feel crowded.

3. Flexible partitions keep spaces separate but not disconnected.

The spacious living room and dining room share a common area, offering excellent lighting. Using a display cabinet with wide compartments as a partition allows for natural light to penetrate the dining area, making it the perfect choice. This design is particularly suitable for smaller apartments, especially those with limited living room lighting. Using a rotating glass partition to separate the space reveals a relatively large, open space.

4. Changing the layout of the living room furniture can also make the space appear larger.

Some homeowners want to fill their living rooms with wall-to-wall cabinets, but they're concerned about the obstruction of a sofa facing a thick wall. If TV viewing is no longer a common habit, changing the living room layout and placing the sofa flexibly can also increase space. For small-sized living rooms, consider fabric or leather sofas. Furniture manufacturers offer a wide variety of sofa styles, so be sure to choose the one that suits your needs.

5. Choose an integrated bed, which not only saves space but also has a sense of design

Many small bedrooms have a 600-square-meter wardrobe, which leaves little room for a bed. If you buy a 1.8-meter bed, the actual width is usually between 1.9 and 2.1 meters. In this case, we recommend customizing a one-piece bed. Alternatively, you can customize a one-piece headboard and purchase a separate bed box or frame. A light and reasonable bed size will keep the bedroom from looking crowded. A one-piece bed saves space and adds a touch of style.

6. White space design can also make the space look larger

Leaving white space may seem simple, but it actually has its own particularities. How to use white space appropriately is based on the overall color ratio of the space. Proper white space can indeed make the space appear larger visually.
