We all want more space, even if we have oodles of it we want rooms to appear bigger and grander than they really are. There are some tricks of the trade that can make even the weeniest of spaces appear larger. First tip, move furniture away from walls as shoving furniture against walls aka doctors waiting room looks and feels so suburban. The plan is to trick the eye so it can’t automatically read the size of the space. Don’t be afraid to push things into the centre. In my own pad you have to meander around all sorts of stuff to get to a seat but it creates a path of exploration, helps generate movement and (designer lingo) flow.

Next up vary the scale -scale is the most under-used tool in the decorating basket but its powers are transformative. I have designed my outdoor terrace to appear like another room. Extra large out door chairs (black of course) sit alongside bijou occasional tables all presided over by a life-size cruelty free moose which doubles up as a light. Teeny pieces sit next to super sized pieces, which in turn creates a far more interesting perspective than if everything were one boring size.
