Flooring in small rooms: tips for creating more space
Small rooms pose a particular challenge when it comes to furnishing and renovating. They often quickly feel cramped and cluttered. However, with the right design, a lot can be achieved – flooring in particular plays a decisive role here. This is because it has a significant influence on how large or small a room is perceived to be.
Choosing the right flooring: Five tips for creating more space in small rooms
1. Light colours for visual spaciousness
Light-coloured floor coverings in white, beige or soft grey tones reflect light and automatically make rooms appear larger. A light-coloured designer floor can work wonders in a small living room or kitchen, as it creates an airy, friendly atmosphere.
2. Create uniform surfaces
A continuous floor covering in several rooms allows them to flow into one another and avoids visual breaks. This creates optical width and makes the room appear more spacious, even if the floor space is small.
3. Choose large-format floorboards or tiles
Small rooms benefit from larger formats, as many small joints can make the overall appearance seem unsettled. Elongated planks with a wood look or large stone looks also make the room appear more spacious.
4. Longitudinal installation for greater depth
The direction in which the floor is laid can greatly alter the impression of a room. If floorboards are laid lengthwise along the longest side of the room, the room automatically appears deeper and larger.
5. Use easy-care materials
Floors are often subject to greater wear and tear, especially in small rooms. Easy-care and robust floor coverings make everyday life easier and keep surfaces looking beautiful for longer.
