DESIGNER TOP TIP: SIZE DOES MATTER

Ever wondered what tricks interior designers use to create that picture perfect space? Here is a design secret to help you design your space like a pro: size does matter to designers.

Many people are afraid of buying larger pieces of furniture. Most people buy a huge bed, and then flank it with tiny nightstands that belong in a kids room. If you want your bedroom to immediately feel larger, then the secret is to buy bigger furniture! Fill those voids on either side of the bed with appropriately scaled pieces. You can even use 3-drawer chests or small writing desks with a chair. The added bonus is tons of extra storage and a bed wall that looks grand and welcoming. In small rooms, aim for light coloured furniture with slim lines. Bulky and dark items will absolutely make your space feel more crowded. Ideally, sofas and tables should have long, skinny legs in small rooms. You can go big and chunky in spacious areas.
