Use mirrors to expand the sense of spac
Large Space Tips
Large spaces can embrace full Art Deco drama with lacquered furniture, bold geometric wallpaper, substantial lighting fixtures, and rich color throughout. Create glamorous conversation areas with Deco seating groups. In a larger open plan living: Large open plans risk feeling impersonal. Create intimate zones within the larger space. Use substantial furniture and multiple seating groupings. Consider a double-sided fireplace or built-ins to par
