If you wish your home were bigger than it is, you may be out of luck. The reason is that you may not want to take a sledgehammer to the walls to enlarge your residence. But there are some things you can do to make your home feel bigger than it actually is. Here are some ways you can achieve this – one of them involves getting a Sacramento, CA patio cover.
Patio Cover
You might be wondering how a patio cover can make your home feel bigger. It’s really quite simple, actually. With a patio cover over your back deck, you will expand the useable square footage of your home. Yes, you can use your patio without a patio cover. But what happens if it rains or if the sun is shining right in your face? You likely will head indoors. But with a patio cover, your back deck may end up being just as useful as your family room or living room. You’ll get the protection you need from the elements, and this will make your patio an extension of your indoor space.
Floor-to-Ceiling Shelves
The reason this is a good idea is that such shelving units will give you more space to store stuff. And the more things you have on your shelves, the less clutter you will have. Nothing will make a room appear to be smaller than it is than clutter. Clutter on the floor will be particularly problematic. Floor-to-ceiling shelves will help to keep stuff off the floor where they will take up valuable real estate. Your rooms – and therefore your home – will feel much bigger as a result.
Over-the-Door Storage
Over-the-door storage can also work wonders. These contraptions can be hung on your bedroom door, for instance. By hanging stuff on these over-the-door storage units, you will free up space. This will make your room appear to be bigger than it really is.
De-Clutter
Clutter will make your home appear to be smaller than the actual square footage would indicate. So go through your home and conduct an honest inventory of things you have that you really don’t need or don’t even want. Most people have at least some clutter. By getting rid of your clutter, you will have more space to navigate your home and won’t feel boxed in by stuff.
