Expert Décor Tips To Make Your Bedroom Appear Bigger And Better

Your home interiors are a reflection of yourself and your personality. Your home is meant to be your sanctuary, reflecting positivity and calmness when you enter it. With the hectic lives we live, our homes, and especially the bedroom, should be a place that offers us peace and warmth. With a subtle mix of illusion and a thoughtful mood board composition, you can easily transform a cramped or small bedroom into a breezy one. Read on for expert tips. 

Colours Are Everything 

Ankit Ojha and Anand Ojha, Principal Designers, Anand Atelier Associate, say that white interiors are very much in trend and they give the space a refreshing look. “It makes the space looks lighter and brighter with natural light falling on it. White interiors with lots of indoor plants, vintage pieces, contrasting coloured fabrics, and carefully selected personal pieces are something that makes the space look prettier and airy,” opine the duo. 

Go Minimalistic 

Ankit and Anand say that bedrooms automatically look bigger when they have free floor space. “Minimalism and simplicity will provide chaos-free spaces, which will let us experiment with different colours and create contrasting combinations. This will make your bedroom more serene and relaxing, sophisticated and classy,” they add. 

Furniture And Storage 

Ankit and Anand suggest sleek wooden shelves or glass shelves combined with the right hardware choices and material to create a noticeable difference in the space. Bring in an organised look with hidden storage behind mirrors or cushioning.  

Balance The Look 

In parallel, the relationship between continuity and illusion is best illustrated by carpets taking over the entire floor, ceiling-to-floor drapes, and sheers spanning along an entire wall. “These connecting elements are the key to the visual impressions of a space on the onlooker,” . Ankit and Anand agree, saying “Ceiling-to-floor curtains will provide symmetry to the space and make the room seems taller. Use linen or cotton fabric in light colours.” 

Mirror Mirror On The Wall 

Ankit and Anand share one easy trick to transform a small bedroom – add a mirror or two to glam up the space. “Mirror reflects light, giving an illusion of a much larger space. Choose walls with maximum natural or artificial light falling onto them; this will help in maximising the impact,” they say.  

Blur The Boundaries 

“Breaking into the physical boundaries of a space make it feel less defined—and hence, bigger in appearance. Throw more focus on openings like windows, balconies or sitouts, and include them as a part of the space. Introduce furniture pieces that connect the spaces with a single theme,”
