A sense of wellbeing can be achieved with increased living
space. Small cramped rooms can lead to feelings of claustrophobia and
restriction. The negative effects that this can have on psychological and
physical health are endless. A lack of available space is damaging to many people's psyches dues to the cramped feeling of encroachment and limitation of
air and space in which to flourish.
One of the best ways to remedy this is to increase the
living area by reducing the cramping factors. Minimalists concentrate on
creating as much open room and space to enjoy life and appreciate themselves in
their surroundings. The first step is to remove any unnecessary clutter and
restrict furnishings to a minimum. However, to truly minimalise the encroaching
effect, fitted fixtures can be altered accordingly.
One of the most functional fittings in a house is the
staircase, the pathway between floors is a necessary fixture. Often large,
space consuming and cumbersome; the staircase can waste a lot of room in a
home. Investing in a bespoke staircase perfectly fitted to your home and
requirements can free up a lot of much needed room.
Often when re-decorating; a new staircase is not taken into
consideration due to its seeming permanence. However, a cleverly re-designed
staircase can complement and complete a room. Many people who value space and
an airy feel, now desire the natural look within their homes. Wooden Staircases
perfectly achieve this sense with their attractive, natural appearance.
Utilising a Timber Staircase can create the effect of a spacious country home.
Alternatively, a home that is attempting to achieve the
modern, minimalistic look could benefit from a bespoke spiral staircase. As
well as appearing timelessly elegant, the spiral staircase consumes barely any
floor space in the house. With minimal floor and air space taken up, the room
will appear far larger. Furthermore the gaps in the fitting create a
see-through effect that will only further the feeling of space.
