Interior design tips

A house can appear bigger and more airy when there’s enough room to get around easily between furniture and other objects. Open space between objects makes it more pleasant to be in and easier to access everything.

Ensure that every area has enough room for two people to pass each other. The open area should be at least 1.3 x 1.3 metres, but preferably 1.5 x 1.5 metres to be certain there is enough room.

More tips for thoughtful interior design

Sliding doors give access to more floor- and wall space

Doors that are open all the time take up unnecessary space. Consider a sliding door to get more out of the room.

Airy design of larger rooms

If your home has larger rooms, try to place furniture like sofas, dining tables and other sitting furniture further in the room vs. along the walls. This utilises the size of the room best.

Take advantage of every nook and cranny

Many rooms have the potential to seem larger than they are if you pay attention to storage opportunities. Wall storage is a good alternative to traditional cabinets and dressers as they free up floor space and give the impression of more space.

Cabinets give order

There should be space for storage in every room. Remember that open cabinets without doors can quickly seem messy compared to those with doors.
