The Art of Creating Your Space
Efficiency does not only require a dynamic person, but an organized use of space as well. In your home and office, it will be extremely useful to maintain a good habit of clearing your space. After all, a well organized room becomes spacious no matter what its size and also creates an environment inviting to work within.
In designing and organizing your rooms and workspaces, here are a few elements that you should work on.
Color
Red, orange and other related hues create an illusion of warmth and closed, small space, which most people do not like. So for a cooler and more spacious look and feel, try choosing from the hues of blue to green.
Keep in mind that when playing with colors, you may also have to consider the color combination among walls, windows, curtains, and furniture. In that case, light colors, especially those related to white (mother of pearl, ecru, ivory, beige and taupe) are easier to match with most all color combinations.
Size
Having more space isn’t always better. It is how you use your space that makes the difference. Smaller spaces may be organized to create illusions of space. Furthermore, well-placed cabinets and shelves may serve various purposes: as space dividers, as decorations, and as file organizers. Larger space also need to be organized as well, placing cabinets and shelves wisely will pay off in the end.
Ambience
You would be truly amazed at what a difference lighting makes in a room or office. An intelligent use of lighting is the most important element in providing a good ambience.
Yellow lighting generally contributes to the coziness of a place, as well as a lot of sofas, floor cushions, candles, native ornaments, smoked glass windows, and light wooden furniture. On the other hand, white fluorescent bulbs and a lot of plastic and metals (steel chairs, synthetic decors, glass windows and Formica tabletops) make for a busy-looking office. Meanwhile, pastel colors and cartooned wallpapers provide for an innocent, child-like look perfect for relaxing.
