Fill Your Home with Chattanooga Furniture You’ll Love
There’s a lot of advice out there about decorating small spaces. Understandably so, since small spaces can be tricky and you want to be sure you’re choosing pieces that are multi-functional and won’t overcrowd your home. However, it can be just as challenging to decorate a large home and often requires a different approach. So if you’re planning on moving to a bigger space, or struggling with the one you have, then keep reading. These are some of our best tips for decorating large spaces.
Use furniture with height to anchor the space. A poster bed or canopy bed will create a beautiful focal point in a space with a high ceiling. If you prefer a bed that’s a little less grand then anchor the room with a large cabinet or armoire.
Use dramatic lighting. Highlight the special architectural features of your home by incorporating interesting lighting that will draw the eye up and around the space. Use this as an opportunity to bring new elements into the space. For example, this orb light contrasts well with the exposed wood beams.
In a space with vaulted ceilings use upholstery with high backs. Low backed chairs and sofas can be dwarfed by tall ceilings. Group chairs and sofas into conversation areas then layer in rugs to pull it all together.
Take advantage of extra wall space and create an eclectic gallery wall. But don’t stop with just a few pieces. Go big and don’t be afraid to mix paintings with pretty mirrors or other interesting pieces. Anchor the space between windows with pairs of prints.
Add a dramatic effect with curtains. Highlight large windows by taking curtains all the way to the ceiling. The softness will make the space more inviting and help absorb sound. Simple curtain rods with linen panels is a timeless look for any space.
