\nWell, luxury interior designer, renovator and decor specialist Tammy Holmes has! She shares her top tips … using colour, boldness and touch of quirkiness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"Tammy Holmes comes with an impressive list of homes, corporate spaces and lodges with clients not only here in South Africa, but also London and Sydney. And she\u2019s not shy of sharing her ideas and tips with our readers.<\/p>\n

When you find yourself in a small space, you can add elements to the environment that can give the illusion that it\u2019s much bigger than it really is.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

TIP 1<\/strong>
\nUse 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"TIP 2<\/strong>
\nIt\u2019s 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.
\n\"\"
\nTIP 3<\/strong>
\nBy adding floor-to-ceiling mirrors creates the illusion of space.<\/p>\n

TIP 4<\/strong>
\nLighter coloured furniture and clever lighting will create space.
\n\"\"
\nTIP 5<\/strong>
\nLastly, 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.<\/p>\n
