TIP 1
Use feature wall colours to demarcate a space within open plan living areas. For example: If the dining room and lounge flow into one space, use a different colour on the walls of the dining room to separate it and its mood from the TV room.
TIP 2
It’s very important to use the correct size furniture, decor and wall art pieces in small spaces so that the room looks neither too cluttered or empty.
TIP 3
By adding floor-to-ceiling mirrors creates the illusion of space.
TIP 4
Lighter coloured furniture and clever lighting will create space.
TIP 5
Lastly, adopt a less is more approach, opting for quality over quantity. Rather spend your money on good pieces that accentuate the space, and can be used in future homes than buying lots of cheaper items that bring down the style and luxury of the environment.
