Add stripes to lengthen your space

Create structure by colour coding

Arrange items by size, type or colour to create a feel of structure and streamlining. Human eyes crave organization. Alignment is pleasing to the senses while clutter creates restlessness.

Open your windows

Use rugs to create separation

Instead of one large rug, use many smaller rugs to separate the room into smaller pieces. You can use rugs to create niche areas in the room.

Use Mirrors

Place mirrors opposite to windows to reflect light and make the room feel larger. You can also keep a chest of drawers just below the window sill to create a classy trompe-l’œil.
