With everyone spending more time a home than usual, space is at a premium in your home. Many people are looking to maximize the space in their home for a home office, a place for the kids to go to school on-line or just a space for relaxation.
Did you know there are some shapes that are better than others for saving space? The following are some tips to make your home look open rather than congested.
- Select glass or other transparent surfaces instead of wood. This automatically will give a sense of airiness.
- Round shapes as opposed to rectangular or square helps a room feel more spacious and you don’t have to worry about sharp corners.
- Have one piece of furniture as the main focus of the room – like a sofa instead of lots of chairs
