You love your home. But let’s be honest—it’s small. The walls feel like they’re closing in, your furniture barely fits, and no matter how much you try, it never quite looks as spacious as those dreamy Pinterest homes.

Good news: there’s a way out.

At A Style of Shade, we know the secret to making any small space feel grand. No, we’re not talking about knocking down walls (unless you really want to). We’re talking about design tricks that play with perception, light, and movement. Let’s begin.

1. Let There Be Light

Dark rooms feel smaller. That’s science. But sheer and translucent Luxaflex® blinds? They filter sunlight beautifully, keeping your space bright while still giving you privacy. Suddenly, your room breathes again.

2. Trick the Eye with Colour

You could paint your walls dark, moody, and dramatic… if you want your space to feel like a cave. Or, you could use soft whites, pastels, and greys—tones that reflect light and open up a room. Pair them with Luxaflex® Duette® Shades, and you’ve got an optical illusion of space.

3. Make Your Windows Work Overtime

Here’s a sneaky trick: Hang your window treatments higher than the actual window. Floor-to-ceiling Luxaflex® Luminette® Privacy Sheers draw the eye upward, making your ceilings feel taller. Your space? Instantly grander.

4. Choose Furniture That’s as Smart as You Are

A chunky sofa? No. A sleek, multi-functional storage ottoman? Yes. When every piece of furniture has a purpose, your room stays open and uncluttered. Bonus points if you pair it with Luxaflex® Roller Blinds for a modern, streamlined look.

5. Mirrors: The Oldest Trick in the Book

Vonnegut wrote about time travel, but we’re talking about space travel—within your home. Place mirrors across from windows to bounce natural light around the room. Add Luxaflex® shutters for a touch of elegance, and suddenly, you’ve doubled your space (visually, at least).

6. Less is More, Always

Clutter is the enemy of space. Keep décor minimal. Hide what you don’t need. And for the ultimate minimalist move? Automate your blinds with Luxaflex® PowerView® Automation—no cords, no hassle, just effortless style.

The Ending? A Bigger, Brighter Home.

Your small space was never the problem—it just needed a little magic. And A Style of Shade? We’re here to make that magic happen.
