We all have different ideas about the ideal home, but most agree on these key aspects. Unfortunately, the limited square footage of urban life rarely achieves them. But ingenuity can. Here are five magic tricks that will transform your home into a mansion.
1. The perfect wall color
Light-colored paints reflect sunlight better and therefore make a room feel brighter. But that doesn't mean you have to stick to white—quite the opposite! Depending on the room's orientation, you can use different colors to make even the smallest room feel open and flooded with light. For example, if the room faces east, a subtle yet effective shade of green called Teresa's Green.
2. Enlarge with mirrors
We'll never tire of praising the virtues of mirrors. Not only do they instantly make a room appear larger, but they also reflect light and create attractive plays of light. You can place them on the wall, the ceiling, and even in the kitchen. To bring light from even the smallest window to the darkest corner, we recommend large mirrors with dynamic shapes.
3. Adequate lighting
While floor lamps take up valuable floor space, ceiling lights can illuminate any room. And not just above the dining table: pendant lights also look great in a corner, next to the bed, or simply in the center of a room.
4. Well-designed furniture
If you don't have a spare room for guests, you can always opt for the classic sofa bed. The Supremax Deluxe by Innovation transforms effortlessly and, thanks to its design, will take pride of place in your living room.
5. Storage, storage, and more storage
Choose adaptable furniture pieces that you can place anywhere and that help you get organized (and hide things you don't need). Like the 360° Container by Magis, created by designer Konstantin Grcic. Remember, the golden rule is flexibility. Whether in the kitchen, bathroom, or workspace, this drawer unit can be used in as many ways as you need. When making the most of your space, think about the walls too. Lightweight shelving, like the Pocket Shelf by String, available in various colors and sizes, allows you to add additional modules as needed.
