How I Make Room Feel Bigger?


In today's modern society, as we grow, the size of our homes decreases. People used to favour large homes, calm neighbourhoods, and horizontal layouts; however, due to urbanisation, everyone today lives in small rooms in vertically constructed buildings. So....

How I Make Room Feel Bigger?

Painting the accent wall in a darker colour gives the impression of a larger room. It makes that region appear to recede and adds depth and dimension to the space.

Other brighter walls will draw attention towards the darker tone wall, deceiving the brain into seeing the room as larger.

The darker accent wall serves as a focal point, improving overall spatial perception and making the room appear larger and more lively

A mirror in a room is an effective architectural trick that reflects light and provides the illusion of depth, making the space feel much larger.

Mirrors brighten the atmosphere and reveal dark corners by reflecting natural and artificial light. The reflected images also create extended space, as if the room goes beyond its physical confines.

This combination of enhanced light and apparent depth turns a small, cramped space into something more open and appealing.

Long curtains are intended to lead the eyes upward, providing the illusion of greater ceilings.

Their graceful design not only improves the room's aesthetic appeal but also contributes to a sense of vertical space.

By emphasising height, these curtains make the room feel larger and more expansive, giving a sense of sophistication to the entire design.

You can also use tall shelves, and vertical storage solutions to draw the eye upward and make the ceiling feel higher.

  • Valley: The internal angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes, directing water runoff to the valley for drainage.
  • Ridge: The horizontal line at the top of a roof where two opposing roof planes meet, often capped with a ridge board for stability and weatherproofing.
  • Abutment: The junction where a roof meets a vertical wall or other structure, requiring careful sealing to prevent water ingress.
  • Dormer: A vertical window that projects from a sloping roof, often used to add natural light and additional space to the attic or upper floor.
  • Drop Edge: The lower edge of a roof where the tiles or shingles overhang, designed to allow water to drip off and prevent water damage to the building's walls.
  • Hip: The external angle formed by the intersection of two sloping roof planes, typically seen on hipped roofs, which have sloping ends and sides.
  • Gutter: A channel along the eaves or roof edge that collects and directs rainwater away from the building's foundation.
  • Eave: The overhanging edge of a roof, extending beyond the walls of the building to protect from the elements.
  • Fascia: The vertical finishing edge connected to the ends of the rafters or trusses, is often used to hold the gutter and provide a neat appearance.
  • Soffit: The underside of the eaves, provides ventilation for the attic space and is often covered for aesthetic and protective purposes.

This is a concluded illustration made by the data provided by fan manufacturers. So, according to this, we can assume the size and dimensions of a fan which will be installed in the space we are designing for. Fan can be a style and aesthetic feature of a room so considering its size and dimensions becomes crucial while designing.
