Making A Large Room Feel Warm And Inviting
A spacious living area is something to be desired, but if not designed properly, a large kitchen, master bedroom, or great room with high ceilings can lack the the cozy comfort that comes naturally in a more snug space. Here, we’ll discuss the secrets to making a large room feel more warm and inviting as we head into winter.
Appropriately Scale Furnishings And Accents
Petite furnishings and prints can get lost in a large interior, while a slew of oversized pieces can make your space seem visually cramped. Instead, make sure these elements and other decorative accents suit the scale of the room when planning your spatial design.
When square footage is ample, go a bit bolder with designer fabrics, and fill your open space with bespoke furniture and accessories that are tailored to your unique room and aesthetic. When furnishings and décor are appropriately scaled to be “just right,” you prevent interior rooms from feeling under or overwhelming.
Follow The Rules For Hanging Drapery Rods
Edgecomb Gray: This earthy, modern hue is the perfect blend of gorgeous gray and soothing neutral and is the quintessential “greige.” Light and airy, Edgecomb Gray is a go-to when designing an ambient home that exudes warmth and personal style.
Collingwood: This gorgeously gray shade of off-white is the ultimate soothing neutral for interior walls that helps set the stage for your decor and furnishings. Warm and nuanced, Collingwood is lovely when used in a variety of spaces, from a home office to an elegantly mastered kitchen.
Create Balance With Your Interior Design
The addition of a tall potted plant or chic floor lamp can be a lovely way to fill excess vertical space in a bare corner. Bespoke pieces of furniture, designer fabrics, plush area rugs, vintage chandeliers, and carefully curated art can also add to a refined spatial design. Such elements come together to create much needed balance in a large living area. They add a sense of style and comfort and often serve as a focal point to help anchor your space.
Color is another important aspect of any spatial design, whether you prefer soothing neutrals and soft pastels or vibrant hues and jewel tones. The palette you choose for your fabric and walls helps to personalize your home and can add warmth in dynamic ways, whether it’s crisp white wainscoting, accent walls and upholstery fabrics in a complementary color, or textured wallpaper in a rich shade of dark blue, as seen in this luxurious bedroom.
