IS SPACE REALLY
THE LAST FRONTIER ..
or just the ULTIMATE LUXURY?
BIGGER, or the illusion of it, is definitely BETTER
when it comes to choosing a home. However, in
today’s rising house prices, it’s not always possible
to find the spacious home we desire within budget.
An important part of interior design is creating illusions, so here
are some clever tricks to make even the smallest rooms appear
larger.
• Start by really looking at your available space with judgemental
eyes.
• Clutter is the enemy of space, so store as much as possible,
allowing only things which are absolutely necessary to be in
view.
• Reflective surfaces, such as polished floorboards, glass tables,
mirrors and paint colours with a high light reflective value will
all bounce light around rooms, making them appear larger.
• Rooms are often multifunctional spaces which cause aesthetic
conflict, so try to streamline these functions.
• Light has long since been symbolic of luxury and is known to
be very good for health, so remember, light = space = health
+ wealth, and try to allow as much light as possible into your
rooms.
• Move all furniture slightly away from walls, so that space
appears to be unrestricted.
• Rather than placing mirrors above a fireplace, try moving
them to either side, and they will act like windows.
• Sleek, clean lines allow the eye to take in the whole area,
making it appear bigger and permitting a bold piece of art to
shout for attention.
• Extend your view through windows to a pleasant focal point
outside, like a garden or mural, broadening spatial awareness.
SPACE may be the last frontier, but by following the simple
tips above you’ll create the illusion of space and maximize your
home’s potential, to enjoy for many years to come.
Bathroom
solutions at
Masters
With an impeccable range from modern to
traditional, Masters can help you create the bathroom
you’ve always dreamed of.
Their Modern Urban range is currently one of the
hottest trends in bathrooms. The Modern Urban style
combines clean lines, shapes and styles to create a
slick and iconic look.
Masters understands the main bathroom of the house
should be about style and function. Products designed
with kids in mind can provide added peace of mind.
Think about type of taps, access to the bathtub etc
when creating your ideal bathroom.
If you are after tranquility, then Masters can help
you create a peaceful and indulging sanctuary. Have
a day spa experience everyday in your own home.
Relax and unwind in a peaceful yet comfortable
environment. Try an indulgent but affordable freestanding bath and a back-lit mirror for that special
touch.
For those smaller spaces, make the most of powder
rooms or ensuites with clever compact solutions and
smart storage. Combine your shower and bath. Opt
for a wall hung vanity, a mixer tap and a mirror can
also double as a cabinet.
And of course, if the traditional still appeals, Masters
can provide that old school style with classic charm,
traditional bathrooms combine simple clean lines with
a focus on three-piece tapware.
If you want to jazz it up a bit, why not use colour to
create a focal point within the room. Try a coloured
splashback for the shower.
