Whether you clad your home with large floor tiles or choose a colour scheme that reflects natural light around the room, there are countless ways that you can visually expand a room and make it look bigger than it actually is. Creating an illusion is easier when you play around with colours, sizes and shapes of the tiles. Contrasting tones, eye-catching patterns and modern designs are some ways you can achieve the illusion. You can try the illusion in the kitchen and bathrooms where you can actually play around as the spaces are smaller. The kitchen tiles and bathroom tiles differences are quite evident.
Stick With the Same Colour Tile
When you are shopping for tiles for smaller spaces in the house like bathrooms, powder rooms or even balconies, ensure that you stick to a single colour and apply that to the entire space. This creates a set flow within the room that makes the room look more spacious.
Choose a Larger Tile
Just like the colour, the size of a tile also is a huge contributing factor. For smaller spaces, it is always best to go for larger sized tiles and vice versa. This allows for less grout joints and the size of the tile will reflect on the size of the room. Another bonus of large format tiles is that they create a sense of luxury and grand ambience which only adds to the purpose of the renovation.
Stay Away From Pattern
While patterns are a great choice for your home, it becomes dicey when it comes to smaller spaces. Patterned tiles make the space look busy and appear smaller. If you are worried that the room will look extremely boring and bland, you can experiment with the shape of the tile. A plain hexagonal tile creates an illusion of a space but brings a certain personality along with it which is an added bonus.
Higher or Wider?
Another very popular trick of the trade to make smaller spaces ‘look’ bigger? To create horizontal lines of the tiles to make the room look bigger. Use the tiles to lay them horizontally or vertically depending on the illusion you are trying to create.
Consistent Style of Tile
With so many different types, finishes and formats of tiles, it can often be tempting to add character and interest by cladding a property in a range of floor tiles. Handpicking tiles of your choice and laying the same ones all around the house blurs the boundaries of different rooms and creates seamlessness throughout the house.
Focus On Vertical Lines
One of the most fruitful tips for small space flooring is to focus on vertical lines. Vertical lines lift the eye and can even change a person’s perception of the room’s shape, which is why so many interior designers opine that focusing on this direction is way more useful in smaller homes or spaces. From opting for large floor tiles with distinctive vertical grout lines to adorning a section of the wall with a subtle tile mosaic, guiding the eye from the floor to the ceiling means that you’ll become more aware of the height of your home.
Creating an illusion of a space can be a task but not impossible. Using these tips and tricks of the trade, you can make your smaller spaces seem bigger and more spacious. There are so many factors that you can play around with for the same. This will impact the way your room looks and your overall home in general. Tiles are the best way to create illusions in smaller spaces as they are easily available, come in multiple variants, prices and designs and are also mostly well priced.
