You Can Use Various Forms of Illumination to Create The Illusion of Space in Your Home

There are some great ways that you can use ceiling lighting or other forms of illumination to create the illusion of space in your home.

You may not be blessed with huge rooms, but creating space is actually much easier than you might imagine.

Once you have de-cluttered rooms in your house, it will be much easier to focus on the neglected areas of your home.

Finding extra space when there's nothing else to throw out and no more room to provide storage solutions can be quite easy, according to creative director at Dulux Marianne Shillingford.

The expert told Yahoo Lifestyle that placing a huge mirror opposite a window allows people to bounce off light in the room and helps provide a more pleasant view.

Reflective surfaces have a similar effect, so perhaps consider using mirrored furniture, glass-based tables, iridescent tiles or shiny wallpaper.

"Bouncing light around a room creates the illusion of space and if you use a combination of increase light levels, a few well-placed mirrors and your home will feel and look much bigger," the expert added.

"Use desk lamps and wall-mounted directional spotlights for pools of interesting and useful lighting."

There are a lot of unused areas that you can transform into useful spaces in the house and it is just a case of striking the right balance in any room you are situated in.

Director of Sara Corker Designs Sara Corker recently stated that using light reflecting units in the kitchen can be a good way of making the room look more spacious.

Implementing some chrome ceiling lights into the kitchen will help with this as the brightness of the illuminations will allow the light to bounce off the units.

Introducing LED ceiling light fittings from Scotlight will not only be a stylish option, but will also save money in the long run.
