Sometimes you want to create a little more space in your cosy room. A clever choice of flooring can make the room feel bigger than it really is. In this blog, we take a closer look at how you can create the illusion of a bigger space through your choice of flooring. It’s not about adding extra square footage, it’s about making the right choices to create the impression you want.
Wide floor
One of the best-known methods of making a room appear wider is by choosing an extra wide or long floor. Selecting a continuous floor can have a significant optical effect, making the room appear larger than it actually is. Wide floorboards have the advantage of breaking less in the pattern. For example, the Country House Laminate floors are 32 cm wide and have a continuous pattern, which gives them the desired effect even more. This not only creates a sense of spaciousness, but also gives the room a modern and sleek look to the room. A wide floor is not only a stylish choice, but also a smart way to create the illusion of extra space. Discover all the advantages of continuous laminate!
Floor with V- Groove
When it comes to choosing a floor, you have countless options and one of the considerations that affects spaciousness is the presence of a V-groove. But how does this choice affect the look of the room? A floor with a micro-bevel, the more subtle version of the V-groove, provides a smooth and calm appearance. This is very effective in smaller spaces as it minimises visual interruption. Without the extra lines, the floor appears to continue, making the room appear larger.
Matching the colour of the wall
Combining floor and wall colours is a clever trick to make your room appear more spacious, as it improves the light and emphasises the space. If you’re thinking about decorating a small space, this approach is definitely worth considering. For example, using light walls on the sides combined with a light floor can create an optical illusion of spaciousness.
Shiny surfaces
Another important aspect that can influence the spaciousness of a floor is the amount of gloss. The more matt the floor looks, the bigger room will appear. Glossy surfaces on the floor can take away from the spacious feeling of a small room. MEGAMAT floors are therefore ideal for smaller spaces. They have an extremely low gloss level compared to other Vinyl floors. In addition to their matt finish, MEGAMAT floors are also beautiful to look at!
