There is always a creative solution to every problem. Start focusing on the solution rather than grinding over the problem repeatedly. In this world, every one of us has limited resources. No matter whether he is a business owner owning top brands or a budding entrepreneur, they tend to have only a limited budget and resources for their new ventures. So, having a limited living space is not a problem. You not taking the first step in making them appear larger with your creativity is where the problem lies. It is your time to pull out the creativity in you and use the limited space to the optimum level. Here are some inspirational ideas from our expert designers to help you in finding the solution to making your small space look larger. 

Make it flawless

We can feel that you are tired of hearing this one advice — to use monochrome coloured tiles instead of printed ones or designer tiles to make your space larger and airier. The fact is, even in monochrome colours, one has to use light coloured tiles to reflect more light simultaneously keeping your space uncluttered. You can still be creative with Johnson tiles, where you can try something unique with the finishes or mild prints. You can go for lighter colour shades like mint green, beige, peach, aqua blue or baby pink tiles for walls to have a cute and airy feel. We always recommend you to go for a light single-coloured tile for interior walls because designs and prints might make your walls busy and the space ultimately looks smaller. Avoid these mistakes, choose soft tone colour tiles for floors and walls. Enjoy the feel of bigger space with smaller homes!

Choose within the family

When you think of your home decor or elements of your home, the major elements that fall in the eyesight of your visitors are the flooring tiles, wall colours, and the furniture used. Having all these items in a similar colour gives a more seamless look, making your entire space appear spacious. 

For example, if you choose light creamy wooden tiles for flooring, you can use the same beige, coffee cream colour, cinnamon cream coloured furniture, and light colour tones for walls. By doing so, they blend with each other and do not break your small space into pieces. For light neutral tone coloured tiles, visit H&R Johnson, which is the most trusted brand for tiles in India. When your furniture and other things do not clutter your space, then it is an obvious fact that your home is going to appear larger than before! Just try it once and you will experience the results.

Tricky placements are the key to success

Have a clear-cut idea about the laying pattern of tiles, because they do play a crucial role in the final appearance of your space. There are various patterns loved by people around the globe, such as herringbone, chevron, horizontal brick, vertical brick, etc. From our experience, we feel that laying your tiles in diagonal or diamond for floors and vertical bricks for walls create an elongated illusion of your space. While the vertical brick-like arrangement gives an illusion of a high ceiling and the diagonal pattern on floors showing your rooms longer, the entire home appears larger to human eyes. Also, we all know that mirrors and glass substances reflect more light and make the space more airy. Garment showrooms use the same trick in their trial rooms, making you comfortable in small spaces with the right lighting and mirror placement. Just apply the same trick in your house and make your little house larger in a few smart moves. 

Go for big if your ideas are big

Using small tiles in a small room is a big NO if you wish to make that small space appear larger. The smaller your tiles, they have more grout lines, making the space appear smaller and busier. On the other hand, the large tiles give a seamless perfect finish with fewer grout lines and add more space to your rooms. Also, don’t go for printed artistic large tiles because they again make your space cluttered and unsatisfying your ultimate goal. Go for light coloured tiles, especially soft colour tones large tiles to achieve your objective of making your space larger and airier. For more tile ideas and inspiration, we urge you to consider Johnson Tiles that are made in India.
