Norwalk, Conn.. (PRWEB) January 28, 2008 -- Visual tricks are a very important tool of interior design. Colors, light, furniture and decorative pieces can be arranged the right way to make a statement, or to make a space look smaller? or bigger. At Home Rewards (SM) (http://www.athome-rewards.com), a leading discount membership program offered by Adaptive Marketing LLC (http://www.adaptivemarketing.com/ap9/at-home-rewards.asp), knows that consumers don't need to sacrifice comfort because they live in a small, enclosed place. With a few visual tricks and some key elements, any room can appear bigger than it really is.
As AP9 AtHomeRewards (http://ap9consumergateway.typepad.com/ap9_articles/2007/12/at-home-rewards.html) reports, the key is to think ahead and make buying and decorating decisions with one thing in mind: to make the room (whether it's a bedroom, a kitchen or a living room) appear more spacious and definitely more comfortable. To do so, there are three main elements to take into consideration: color, decoration and organization. AP9 At Home Rewards (http://www.athomerewards-program.com) has put together a list of simple tips to follow for any small room of the house:
Color:
-- Light hues will open up the space, and painting the walls white will definitely maximize that effect.
-- Go monochromatic. If all white doesn't work for your lifestyle, try painting the walls, trim and detailing in different shades of one color. Pick from off-white, beige, any pastel or neutral color.
-- Match the color of the furniture with the color of the walls. Stay away from contrasting colors, especially in big pieces such as the sofa.
Decoration:
-- Medium-size furniture pieces work better than a big, prominent one. Avoid having many small pieces scattered all over the room, and arrange furniture at an angle to add visual interest to the place.
-- Track or recessed lighting works best for small spaces. Use a torchiere lamp to bounce light off the ceiling, and get rid of heavy drapery. Let the natural light come in as much as possible.
-- Mirrors are also a great way to make a room feel and look bigger. A big wall mirror right in front of a window will reflect light and color; so will a collection of smaller ones, distributed along one wall.
Organization:
-- Any small space -- even a tiny closet -- will look bigger if it's clutter-free. Get rid of little furniture dispersed all over, and move around pieces that block the view and walkway space.
-- Designers recommend getting pieces of furniture with open arms and legs, as well as small glass-top tables, so the light can filter through.
-- Make the most out of the space with multifunctional furniture. Invest in good quality pieces such as drop-leaf or removable-leaf tables and ottomans for storage and sitting purposes, among others.
