moving spaces empty spaces
November 6th, 2008 by chaMost of you guys are probably away that empty spaces seem smaller then a room filled with furniture. I do not understand the science behind this visual illusion, but there really is something going on with empty spaces. When you visit a new condo development or apartment for rent, the manager will show you a showroom. These showrooms are filled with nice funiture and the layout is done by professional interior decorators. This makes it possible to maximize the appeal for potential investors or renters. When i first visit my place, it was filled with some dummy furniture. The space looked really big and i was glad to sign the lease right away. When the time came for me to move in, i was disappointed by the size of my new apartment. I knew that once the furniture arrived, it would look ok, but i felt kind of down cause the space looked so small.
When you decorate an empty space, you should try to fill it with furniture right away. Using mirrors and anchoring furniture will make the space look a lot bigger then it really is. It will make for a more pleasant living environment.
