The decor of a room plays a huge role in determining how big or small it looks. 

Here are some tried and tested tips to make your space look bigger:

1. Light paint

Ditch the darks and embrace the light colors for your walls. The general rule is that the lighter the wall paint, the more open your space looks. The darker the shades on the walls, the more closed and small the space becomes. And it really isn’t hard getting furniture to go along with light walls. You have regular furniture like couches, coffee tables, chairs, and even special high-utility furniture like ottomans and hidden TV lift cabinets available in many colors and textures. So, let there be light!

2. Limit the number of furniture pieces

If your space is small, try not to fill it up with too much stuff. Practically speaking, stick to the basic furniture and leave enough space for traffic flow. That means having the regular couches and center table and maybe one multi functional piece of furniture like a hidden TV lift cabinet

Furniture shopping is an important part of everyone’s lives. We plan for it, look forward to it, and in all our excitement often get carried away too, and regret it later!

Here are 4 common mistakes people make (that you can avoid) while furniture shopping :

1. Do not splurge on exclusively trendy furniture- It is extremely tempting to buy trendy furniture because you see it everywhere and it looks good too, but if it's trending like a rage,  it will also go ‘out’ of style sometime. So, if all your furniture is trendy, chances are that when it goes out of trend you will have to replace everything, which will be expensive in two ways- first, while buying it and second, while upgrading or replacing it all at once. So, the best way to deal with this is to buy a mix of trendy and evergreen furniture,  like teaming up trendy floral couches with a subtle hidden TV lift cabinet. Later, when you need to upgrade, you can phase the couches out, while the evergreen hidden TV lift cabinet will continue

What do you do when your bedroom is all good, but your TV is too low? Well, if you are a DIY enthusiast, you do what Mike from Modustrial Maker did– build a concrete countertop and stash away a hidden TV lift mechanism underneath, that conveniently appears at the touch of a button!

The concrete is unique and the TV mounted on the hidden TV lift mechanism is magical. Couldn’t have been a better mix of style and practicality, while having fun with a creative project. You can watch the video here, for detailed information. 

The most common problems of having a TV in the bedroom are:

1.  Lack of space- If you have a TV on a dresser or a cabinet, placing anything else on the top gives a very cluttered look. Not the best thing for a bedroom, which is ideally supposed to give you a ‘peace of mind’ feel. A hidden TV lift mechanism or a hidden TV lift cabinet fixes that problem by simply putting the TV away when you aren’t watching it. 
2. Focus on the TV- More often than not, the focus of a bedroom
