We’re well into December and the holidays are right around the corner— you probably don’t have time to reach out to interior design firms in Long Beach, but there are ways you can open up your space before the family is in town.
Here are some quick and easy design hacks to make your space appear larger:
Lighting is Everything
Using lighting is one of the most common ways to open up a space without actually having to do much work. Open your curtains during the daytime and take advantage of your lamps and accent lighting at night. Your home will naturally feel larger, and you’ll be able to feel the enhanced psychological effects of brighter spaces.
Declutter
We cannot emphasize this enough— put anything away that you won’t be using until 2023! If your home is filled with unnecessary furniture, decor, and guests, you’ll feel overloaded during the holiday season. Extra cookware, unused toys, inapplicable decor and unnecessary furniture can take a backseat during the holiday season.
Perceived Boundaries (Not Real Ones)
We might be tempted to physically close off spaces with furniture, but instead, try using cohesive changes in your decor to create subtle boundaries. Rugs are a great way to define a space without closing it off altogether. Furnishings you might otherwise use to differentiate rooms can fall into the category of holiday clutter— leave it in the garage for now!
