Creating a spacious feel in a living room isn't solely dependent on the actual square footage. Even smaller spaces can exude a sense of openness and grandeur. There are numerous tricks to achieve this effect, and with modern solutions like sliding systems such as COR Vision or BI-Fold doors, you can virtually eliminate the boundary between your indoor and outdoor areas. How does it work? Let’s explore!
Opening Up to Light and Space
When thinking about making a space feel larger, natural light is key. It has an incredible power to transform even the smallest rooms, making them feel airy and expansive. Sliding systems like COR Vision and BI-Fold doors are excellent choices for maximizing natural light. These doors, featuring large glass panels, essentially bring the garden into your home, creating the illusion of a much larger living room.
Additionally, there are other strategies to visually enlarge a space. Light colors, such as soft grays, whites, and beiges, can make a room feel more spacious by reflecting light and giving the interior a fresh appearance. It’s best to avoid dark colors, as they can make the space feel smaller.
Placing a large mirror opposite these doors, especially if they open to a garden or terrace, can further enhance the sense of depth and space. Reflections of the outdoor scenery in the mirror can make even a small living room appear significantly larger. Mirrors not only reflect light but also the space around them, giving the room an incredible sense of lightness.
Stylish and Functional Solutions
The choice of terrace doors is also a matter of aesthetics. Aluminum sliding systems and BI-Fold doors come in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing them to match any interior style. The ability to customize the size and number of panels makes them an ideal solution for both modern, minimalist interiors and classic designs.
To emphasize the height of the room, consider using vertical lines and patterns, such as those on curtains or wallpaper. Vertical stripes can make walls appear taller and the ceiling seem higher, adding a sense of spaciousness to the room.
Uncovered Windows and Proper Lighting
Don’t forget about the importance of window arrangements. Curtains hung high, close to the ceiling, can make the room appear taller. It’s best to opt for light, airy materials or even consider going curtain-free to allow as much natural light as possible to flow in. Additionally, multiple sources of lighting – such as table lamps, floor lamps, and wall sconces – disperse light in different directions, creating the illusion of a larger space.
This approach, combined with COR Vision sliding systems and BI-Fold doors that let in ample natural light, creates an open and inviting atmosphere.
