Connecting all spaces
If your house has limited living space, try changing from dividing the space into rooms to creating an open-plan space by arranging the rooms with related functions, such as the living room, dining room and kitchen into zones without having a wall. Use the same flooring materials to connect all spaces to make the area look more spacious. This technique does not only make the house look bigger but also provides more space to share with everyone in the family.

Well placed carpet
Using a carpet can make your place look more spacious and proportional. An easy technique is to have a carpet that is larger than the furniture such as sofa or dining table. However, the carpet should not be so large that it touches the wall because it will make the space look tight and narrow. Both plain and printed carpets are fine. The most important thing is to choose a matching color tone to make a consistent theme.

Go with glass
The smaller the space is, the more you should avoid dividing it into rooms. But for some inevitable areas such as the bathroom which needs a separation between the wet and dry area, a clear piece of glass can be used to divide the space instead of using a wall or frosted glass because transparency is a key technique for making a more spacious-looking area. Therefore, clear glass is a good alternative for the division of space to maintain airiness and spaciousness.
