The right flooring for a spacious atmosphere
Homeowners have been advised on a few simple design tricks to make rooms look larger than they actually are, and the right flooring can apparently make all the difference.
Alongside tips for using mirrors and clever storage solutions to stop areas looking cluttered, flooring ranks highly for the effect it can have to make a small room look bigger.
Light coloured flooring is one of the best ways to inject a spacious feel in to an area, it also brightens the room by creating the illusion of natural light.
Obviously the lighter the flooring option you choose, the bigger the room will look which is why white solid wood flooring is such a popular option.
Consumers were also told that plain flooring is the way to create a spacious appearance as patterned floors can make an area look cluttered.
This means that the perfect option for small rooms is often a neutral carpet or light wood flooring with very subtle grain markings.
Obviously there are advantages to smaller rooms including a lower cost of flooring, which is why solid wood flooring is a great solution to add a touch of real class to the limited space.
