There is very little one can do about the space, size and dimensions of the house they live in. But, what one can achieve through the clever use of design is the illusion and functionality of a larger space.
Our team at Vibrant Home Interiors has put together a list of our most effective space enhancing secrets. Read on to know more…
Mirror, Mirror, On The Wall
Apart from sublime ceilings and large windows, there is no better ally for a small space than a well-stationed mirror. A mirror placed behind a light source, a candle, or a bedside lamp, helps create a magical effect.

You don’t have to pad up every hard corner in your living room. Instead, you can simply replace hard, wooden furniture with soft pouffes. Eliminate sharp edges with smooth pieces. For example, rounded ottomans are popular alternatives to hardwood coffee tables.

If the room benefits from a window, you can maximize the natural light and picturesque view by placing a mirror perpendicular to or opposite the window.
The Truth About False Ceilings
If your space functions as the living room, dining room and workstation (when required), false ceilings will definitely do the heavy lifting in making the most of your space. You can create zones for different activities by building ceiling of different levels.

False ceilings work particularly well for narrow rooms, and you can add up to 3 level on this fourth wall. By using fixtures and lighting specific to each space, we are able to give each zone a purpose.

It is a known fact that light colors make any room look bigger and brighter. This is because light colours are reflective, magnifying the effect of natural light; whereas dark colours absorb light, making a room look smaller. Have a pick from our selection of soft, muted tones given below, to create the illusion of a larger space, and add instant sophistication and a calming vibe.

The Multipurpose Trunk
Trunks are perfect for small spaces as they perform triple duty – storage, seating and as a table. In the living room, you can prop a fabric upholstered trunk as a vintage coffee table, in addition to using it as a pod for your magazines and newspapers. When you have guests over, move it around or push it against the wall for extra seating.
In the bedroom, place a trunk at the foot of the bed, and stash your extra pillows, sheets, and towels in it. You can also repurpose a smaller trunk as a nightstand. Just place it near your bed with a night lamp and a few books, to give your bedroom a warm cozy look.
