Use the color in your benefit

The color helps us visually expand the space or on the contrary, subtract meters.

The chromatic unit of space also helps, especially with white or lighter shades. If the table is light and also in the same color as the walls we will achieve the effect of a much more transparent and less overloaded space. The furniture that rests on the wall in the same color that this tb help create that effect.

The minimum possible furniture and always to be able to be nothing heavy or with too dark tones. But you can not miss a good work table, better than just enough to not overload. For this reason it is better to opt for the lighter materials visually, such as glass or metals on the legs. Tables with thin metal legs or glass that help to let the view go through and give depth. Thin panels and in light colors to be able to be confused with the walls. Boards not too thick to avoid being heavy.

Take advantage of the light

Light is key in decoration but if it is about winning meters … even more! Let the light invade everything. Placing the table under the window is always a good idea. We lighten the center of objects and also give prominence to the windows, where all eyes will go when entering. The curtains are also made of light fabrics that let the light pass well.

If we do not have natural light we should try to find an adequate lighting and for this the best thing is the use of different types of light, of course, but also standing and some auxiliary light on the desk for more meticulous work. Light will help us create a wider space effect, so we should not forget about it.

Lots of order

Having everything in place and well ordered will help us not to let the space fall on us and look much more open and spacious. For this, it is best to reduce the necessary objects as much as possible and to clean them periodically, eliminating all the superfluous items that we have not used in recent months. At the work table, better only the essential. But also help us with drawers and low cabinets, shelves on the wall and everything that can help us gain space but without being heavy.
