We’ve tackled a few different ideas for making small spaces look bigger, but chances are you’ve never thought about doors in this context. Doors opening into a room can take up valuable floor space and interrupt the flow of the home.
Removing a door is a great way to create the illusion of more space. Because your eyes can now look further afield to the next room and beyond, the room you’re in feels bigger. You can also widen the opening where the door used to be to enhance the illusion.
Another option to consider is sliding, or pocket doors. These slide along a track instead of opening out like a standard door. Sliding rather than opening means they take up less floor space and cause less of an obstruction. Sliding barn-style doors have been popular for a few years now, or, if your walls allow it, you can slide the doors into the wall cavity.
In small spaces, every millimetre counts. So take a look at the doors to your room and think about what other options you have.
