What type of flooring makes a room look bigger?

Airy, open rooms are any homeowner's dream. In reality, many of us are trying to make smaller spaces—from our bedrooms to our living room—appear a bit bigger than they actually are. You may have tried various decorating tricks to maximize the given space, from painting the walls a light colour, but making the most of out your flooring is the number one trick, in our opinion, to make your room look and feel bigger.

1) LIGHT AND DARK FLOORING

Choosing lighter coloured flooring to compliment your furniture can expand the perceived size of any room and can open the space right up. Think cream carpets, natural and neutral toned tiles and whitewashed wood flooring. Additionally, this elegant, timeless design matches an array of interior decor.

These attractive, Ayatrio light and neutral colours give a room an open and airy feel, making it appear larger, whilst also drawing in the natural sunlight from outside.

2) ONE FLOORING FOR ALL ROOMS

Using the same flooring in several rooms in your home is proven to create a seamless effect that helps each room flow which makes smaller spaces in the home appear larger and part of something bigger.

3) PARALLEL OR DIAGONAL FLOORING

The key to making rooms look bigger with flooring starts with the diagonal rule. Ayatrio Diagonal lines work to create the illusion of more space. Believe it or not, the way flooring is installed can help make a room look bigger than it is. As a general trick of the trade, installing flooring such as boards running parallel to the longest wall in the room instantly makes a room appear more spacious.

4) PLANKS OVER STRIPS

As far as space-enhancing tricks go, this is probably one of the easiest to execute. Simply choose wider planks over strips, which are at least 3 inches in size. Ayatrio Planks will make the room feel less busy and more open due to the fact there are less seams in the floor, as less boards are needed. It’s as simple as that! installing hardwood, laminate, or luxury vinyl planks, wider is better. Use this tip in tandem with a diagonal installation pattern, and you will immediately feel the difference.

5) LARGE TILES

As with larger planks, making a room appear bigger works exactly the same with tiles. Choose tiles which are at least 12 inch squares to help open up the space. Laminate Flooring and luxury vinyl tiles are typically available in different sizes also, which is ideal.
