I’m an interior designer and real estate agent – how to make your home look bigger for free using my furniture tip
AN interior design expert has shared her hack for making a space feel bigger.
The content creator revealed that the trick is often used by real estate agents to elevate a room.
In her video, TikTok user Janine Mandell (@janinemandell.re) explained that furniture placement can completely transform a space.
“Contrary to popular opinion, your furniture doesn’t actually have to be pushed up against the wall,” the TikToker told her followers.
She continued: “Having furniture away from the wall makes spaces feel larger psychologically.
“If you’ve ever scrolled through Zillow or Redfin, or gone to an open house you may notice that furniture, commonly couches, are pulled away from walls,” Janine explained.
She pointed out that “sometimes [couches] even float in the middle of the room.”
The real estate expert acknowledged that some spaces are too small to try out the tip.
“I understand that couches don’t always work in this situation but if you have a smaller space, try something small like your nightstand,” Janine suggested.
She recommended pulling your nightstand a couple of inches from the wall.
“If you do try nightstands, make sure it’s pulled away from all three sides,” she added.
Janine also advised her followers to test out the tip on an accent chair.
“Have fun with it and play around,” she told her audience.
