1. Paint walls light & contrast

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” woodmart_inline=”no”]A long curtain that hangs all the way down to your floors instantly makes your ceiling look higher. You can opt for sheer curtains to maximize the natural light coming in, or go for a blackout curtain for privacy and for when the sun is too bright.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”130751″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

2. Use ceiling-to-floor curtains

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” woodmart_inline=”no”]A long curtain that hangs all the way down to your floors instantly makes your ceiling look higher. You can opt for sheer curtains to maximize the natural light coming in, or go for a blackout curtain for privacy and for when the sun is too bright.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”130746″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

3. Go for sofas with raised legs

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1626727281495{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” woodmart_inline=”no”]Having sofas and armchairs raised on legs provide the view of extra space underneath. The sight of extra space means a more sense of openness and movement. It will also come in handy when cleaning for easier vacuum access. You’ll need to keep your room clean. Less clutter means a bigger space.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”130748″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

4. Use mirrors

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1628271039842{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}” woodmart_inline=”no”]What more to reflect the illusion of a bigger area than mirrors! We honestly love giant mirrors. The aesthetic and Instagram-worthy photos it can be used for gives us life. It gives the illusion of depth and placing it near a window reflects the view outside is most effective.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”130749″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

5. Accentuate the vertical or horizontal

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” woodmart_inline=”no”]If your space has a high ceiling, we recommend emphasizing the vertical aspects of your furniture and design. You can do this with long pendant lights, tall bookshelf or artworks showcasing vertical designs. As well, horizontal lines widen the room. It can be achieved by using horizontal strips and paneling.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”130750″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

6. Go for bigger furniture (then arrange nicely)

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1626721297963{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}” woodmart_inline=”no”]Using a few large pieces of furniture is more preferable than plenty of small ones. It would look like clutter. Arrange them in a way that would create more space in your room. Push sofas all the way to the wall and create a space in the middle of the room to make it feel more open and airy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image=”130747″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

7. Keep the shelf spacious

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1626722031044{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}” woodmart_inline=”no”]Filling up a shelf can make the room cluttered and disorganized. Instead, just choose a few items to display.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_single_image image=”130744″ img_size=”large” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https://pwffloors.ca/product-category/agate-tiles-series” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no”]

8. Keep it minimal

[vc_column_text text_larger=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1626722064231{margin-bottom: 35px !important;}” woodmart_inline=”no”]It can be very easy to go overboard and add too many decorations, but you have to have self-discipline! Keeping it nice and simple is the best way to not overcrowd the room. The colour, pieces and little items you choose will work together and complement each other.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1500912804752{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”][vc_column_text text_larger=”no” woodmart_inline=”no”]PWF Floors & Decors is committed to providing reliable and beautiful tiles.
