Flooring to make your home seem bigger

From maximising space within a small bathroom or attempting to elongate a hallway, flooring plays a major part in the appearance of your home – particularly how spacious it appears.

When it comes to making your home seem bigger, there are a number of tricks and tips you can try to make small spaces feel larger (light lightly coloured walls and lots of mirrors!) but first off, let’s start with flooring.

With these flooring tips and tricks, your home will appear more spacious in no time!

Light colours

From beige rugs to lightly coloured hard floors, if you want a space to look bigger there is only one rule when it comes to flooring: choose light colours. Light colours make a room appear more spacious and draw attention away from the size of the room and more towards colourful touches you may have added around the home.

Stripes

From striped rugs to striped carpets, stripes are the way to go if you want a room to appear bigger. If you’re hoping to make your living area look wider, opt for horizontal stripes, however, if you’re aiming to make your staircase look longer, vertical stripes are the way to go.

Avoid dark colours

Dark colours are stunning when used correctly, however, if you are for example trying to create a sense of spaciousness in a small bathroom, dark colours are to be avoided at all costs. Instead, why not opt for a light stone effect Karndean or a pale wood style vinyl floor?
