So, when the house gets a little more busy during the festive period, surplus belongings can be cleared away to create additional room.<\/p>\n<p>And when the house is less busy, items can be placed back in their original spot like nothing ever changed.<\/p>\n<p>This easy trick also helps keep the home tidy and can even help individuals hide things best kept private, all without taking up extra space.<\/p>\n<p><font><span>2. Reflective furniture\u00a0<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/07\/78702617-12833829-Reflective_surfaces_including_tables_mirrors_and_vases_will_refl-a-6_1702194768502.jpg\" height=\"799\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Reflective surfaces, including tables, mirrors, and vases, will reflect indoor and outdoor light to create an airier space\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next, Dara highlighted the use of reflective surfaces in creating the illusion of a bigger space.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of one mirror, why not add two?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just mirrors that can help create this illusion, but also vases, sculptures, and picture frames.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>By adding these furnishings, both natural and indoor lights are reflected across the room, making a brighter space.<\/p>\n<p>Implementing these pieces creates an illusion that the room is bigger by playing with light and shadows, according to Dara.<\/p>\n<p>Mirrored tables and side cabinets will do the trick nicely too, reflecting the light on its surface to visually expand the space.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With a whole host of trendy reflective furnishings on offer, this is an easy and accessible way to enhance a living space.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><font><span><span>3.

In particular, a television that can transform itself into art.<\/p>\n<p>A television can often feel the focal point of a room, especially a space on the smaller side.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to interior design, they also make it tricky to increase feng shui.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s why Dara suggested a multi-use television, such as Samsung Frame TV, which can double into gallery artwork when turned off.<\/p>\n<p><span><span>4. Change home accessories with the seasons\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/10\/07\/78704339-12833829-Dara_also_suggested_to_switch_furnishings_with_the_seasons_In_wi-a-5_1702194768427.jpg\" height=\"518\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Dara also suggested to switch furnishings with the seasons. In winter, she advises pieces with more texture\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During Christmas, many typical home furnishings get replaced with seasonal pieces, from tablecloths to bedding and kitchen utensils.<\/p>\n<p>And according to Dara, that&#8217;s one of the simplest ways to keep your space feeling fresh.<\/p>\n<p>For autumn and winter time, Dara advised furnishings with more texture and a holiday-specific motif.<\/p>\n<p>So when it comes to picking out festive pieces for the home, opt for soft furnishings with added embellishments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rugs can also make a huge difference to a living space, making it cozy and warm but also appear bigger.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For those looking to increase the feel of their room, Dara said a rug with neutral colours is the safest option.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to spring and summer, switch it up and opt for light materials, such as linen.<\/p>\n<p><font><span><span><span><span>5. Focus on the windows\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p>If a living space seems small but has a beautiful view, then worry not because Dara has revealed an easy hack to maximise the space.<\/p>\n<p>Simply direct every piece of furniture to the centre of the room, and the space will feel greater in moments.<\/p>\n<p>Making the most of the view is a no-brainer, and turning all the furniture to the centre of the room increases the fluidity and brings attention to the main attraction- the view.<\/p>\n<p>By making the windows the focal point, the view will quickly become part of the room, not only creating the illusion of added space but making the most of what matters.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12833829\/Edoardo-Mapelli-Mozzis-glamorous-ex-interior-designer-Dara-Huang-reveals-5-tips-make-home-look-bigger.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi&#8217;s glamorous ex and interior designer Dara Huang reveals her 5 top tips to make your home look bigger American interior designer Dara Huang, 40, has revealed her top design tips READ MORE:\u00a0Who is Dara Huang?
