    5 Tips to Make Your Home Feel Bigger Before Selling This Christmas

    With homes in the UK getting smaller over the years, making the most of limited space has become a key challenge for homeowners. Statista reports that living room sizes in the UK have shrunk since the 1970s, meaning that creating a spacious feel can be tricky. Now, with the rush to move before Christmas 2024, optimising the space in your home is crucial if you want to appeal to potential buyers.

    Tristan Lynch, CEO of Roseland Furniture, has shared some useful tips for making your home feel bigger and brighter, with clever use of furniture and design techniques. These small changes can help homeowners get their homes ready for a quick sale this festive season.

    Use Mirrors and Reflective Surfaces

    One of the easiest ways to make a room appear bigger is to introduce mirrors and reflective surfaces. Placing a mirror opposite a window can reflect natural light, giving the illusion of a larger, more open space. A large floor mirror against a wall can have a dramatic effect, adding depth and brightness. Even using reflective furniture like a mirrored coffee table can bring in lighter and make a room feel more spacious.

    Stick to One Colour Scheme

    To create a feeling of openness, painting a room in just one colour, especially lighter tones, can make a big difference. White is a popular choice for maximising space as it reflects light, making a room feel brighter and airier. For added warmth and personality, consider introducing textured accessories like rugs or cushions, or add vibrant accents with artwork, plants, or vases.

    Maximise Natural Light

    Natural light is key to creating the illusion of space. Tristan Lynch advises against heavy curtains or Roman blinds that can block light. Instead, he suggests opting for Venetian blinds or sheer alternatives that let in sunlight while maintaining privacy. Wall lights that cast light both upwards and downwards are another trick to make ceilings feel taller, adding to the perception of a larger room.

    Functional Storage Solutions

    Clutter can quickly make a small room feel cramped. To avoid this, functional storage options like ottoman furniture can help keep belongings out of sight. An ottoman bed, for example, can store items that are not frequently used, freeing up valuable space. Built-in shelves in alcoves can also offer storage without taking up extra floor space, keeping the room neat and organised.

    Keep Things Simple

    When it comes to decorating small rooms, simplicity is key. Too many decorative items or bold patterns can overwhelm a small space. Focus on a single feature, such as a piece of art or a statement wall and keep the colour palette neutral and light. Furniture should also be lightweight and elevated, with visible legs to give the illusion of openness.

    Lynch emphasises that creating a clutter-free and well-lit environment is essential for making any home feel bigger. “Light, airy rooms not only appear larger but also create a more inviting atmosphere, which is crucial for attracting buyers,” he said.

    With these simple adjustments, homeowners can make their homes feel bigger and more appealing to potential buyers in time for Christmas.
