Owning a big house gives a sense of pride to owners. However, many homeowners feeloverwhelmed when confronted with a large room, especially a large empty room. Vdesignspaces believes thatyou can apply the Basic Design Rule andstill decorate your big space with ease and style.

1. Start with a Theme– Visual split a large room into batches,as per your hobbies or interests. Identify the right spot and position-specificdecor to define individual spaces. For example, a bookshelf can be the jump start point to create anintimate reading space theme. Rugs work wonders in defining seating and conversation areas. Bean bags near your gaming zone will create a sense of playfulness.

2. GroupArtefacts-Group decorative artefacts and display them together in odd numbers. This is one of the 'Golden Rules' whiledecorating. Odd numbers always create visual interest. So go for3, 5, 7, or 9 pieces instead of 4, 6 or8. Grouping will trick your eyes to view them as a whole and keep them from being visually lost inalarge space.

3.Harmonize Colours –Always think of your room in layers and plan accordingly. The dark and muted colour will make a large room look cosy. When layered with bright or muted shades, the white, cream or neutral colour background willmake the space look warm and restful. For example, if the floor is dark, choose a lighter or brighter rug. If the sofa is light, the wall in the background can be darker and so on as you keep adding more details in your space.

4. Varied Textures &Patterns- A wonderful way to add contrast and interest in a large space is to vary the scale of patterns and textures. Patterns show your personality, while the texture brings out your taste. Pick a fabric or a colour you love anduse that as a starting point. You may add a fun pattern,a soft textureor a bold contrast. Whatever you do, make sure to choose what speaks foryou as this accent subtly shows a lot about your preferences.
