Who doesn’t like their home to look spacious, bright and airy? It immediately makes the space comfy, cosy and if done right, super chic as well. Check out how to up the effect with ideas from these six homes.
1. Go for simple lines against a mostly white interior to enhance the bright and airy feeling – just like this beautiful home. Make the most of the natural light with both sheer and thick curtains – keep the thicker curtain permanently open to allow light in always.

2. Plenty of windows, plenty of lights – that’s the winning combination for a bright and airy home. Just like this landed home where floor-to-ceiling windows, strategically placed light fixtures and a mostly white interior add to the cosy ambience. Natural material like wood enhances an intimate feel overall.

3. One obvious way to make your home bright? Keeping the walls a light shade as seen in this home. You definitely can’t go wrong with white, which is both timeless and contemporary. Opt for streamlined furniture pieces to minimise bulk and to give the entire home a nice clean line.

4. Going all white for that bright and airy appeal may make your home feel “empty” so do like this homeowner: Use splashes of colour to give it some character. Pick a light shade so that it doesn't veer too much on the dark side. Flush it out with a stunning light fixture – here, the hanging lights do the magic.

5. The first step to a bright and airy home? Eliminate clutter and mess, like this homeowner. Keep things off the floor and well maintained. Pick a few feature items for a more simplistic, clean feel.

6. Aside from a white or ivory theme, try keeping your walls free from photos or shelves. Take cue from this home – give it a minimalist approach by using uniformed squres and clean lines on the wall for a modern and organised feel. Pick only a few items to showcase so your home won’t look cluttered. Standout lights with clean, understated design enhance the effect.
