A small home can either feel cramped or cozy. Unfortunately, if you are like most people you probably don't like the feeling of being crammed into a room. Luckily, you can trick your eye into believing your space is much larger by using the right floor tile. Incredibly easy and very effective, switching up your floor tile is a great way to revamp a small space.
So how you can use floor tile to make your space appear larger? Here are three basic tips:
1. Opt For Larger Tiles
Perhaps the easiest way to make a small space appear larger is to use larger floor tiles. Now this might sound counterproductive, but it is actually very effective. Larger floor tiles are often less busy, which automatically opens up the space. In addition, larger floor tiles require less grout. Less grout means there is less contrast to break up

Choose The Correct Color
Another helpful tip is to choose the correct color for your floor tile. As you might expect, lighter colors will open up the space better. This is because light and neutral colors are less busy. Lighter colors also reflect light better, which automatically makes a space appear bigger. If you don't want your flooring to be a single boring color, don't worry. You can always add accent tiles in a fun or bright color to liven up the space.
Choosing a color for your tile might seem difficult, but it doesn't have to be. Visit a local tile store and select some samples that you like. Take the samples home and see how they look in the space. Be sure to examine the tiles at varying times, as natural light can change how they look. Once you find a color and style you look, you'll be good to go.
3. Vary Tile Shape
Finally, don't feel like you need to stick to a single tile shape. Varying the shape of the tiles can be very helpful in making your space appear larger. Subtle changes in texture or shape will provide some variety to the eye and make the space appear bigger. It's another simple tip, but again it is quite
Just because you purchased a spa filter has the right dimensions for your spa does not mean that the filter you purchased is giving you the most square footage for your money. You can purchase filters that have the same dimensions but that offer additional square footage. Additional square footage of filter material can be added to a filter that has the same dimensions as one with less square footage by simply doubling the pleats and

Allusions to well known characters are often found in artistic expression to describe universal traits. These implicit references, often Biblical, Shakespearean, or Greek, rely on the viewers’ previous knowledge to understand the main theme of a piece. Allusions are able to convey underlying messages in a more relatable manner because of shared classical ideas. One popular Biblical reference, that of Judas, one of the original twelve apostles of Jesus, signifies betrayal and greed in a friend. Whether 700 years ago or 70 years ago, this allusion can be seen in both literature and art alike in the role of a traitor to the protagonist.
Clearcutting is the custom of cutting down a large group of trees in one area and then growing new trees in their place. Clearcutting has the most impact on the aquatic cycle. It can also intensify the danger of flooding. Tree roots trap the topsoil and when a tree is cut down it allows the topsoil to run off into streams and/or rivers. This also allows streams and rivers to heat up, which allows algae and bacteria to grow. This in turn with the temperature increasing, will destroy the fish and other inhabitants in the stream or river. Clearcutting doesn’t just affect rivers and streams it also disturbs the habitat of the animals that live there. Some animals must move to other parts of the forest, which could be good or bad. It just
The boards on the walls and floor are thick lines that could be implied lines. These lines are visual and follows the space of the room. It creates a sense of directional movement. Implied lines form a sense of enclosure and connection as well as movement and direction. Texture creates many sensations for the viewer. The roughness of the boards gives texture and the way the light shines causes shadows in the room. The fabric gives a softer form of texture and a feel of warmth. These two forms of texture works together and pulls the room together.
When you step out of this room to the photography room on the right your feelings within the surrounding change once again. In the first room of the museum the tile is white and thus reflects light, creating yet more light in the surrounding area. The walls go from light and colorful shades to a medium tinted of gray creating a more plain mood within the room. In the side room full of photography the flooring changes from white large stone tiles to wood panel flooring. The opening to this second room is an opening the wall rather than another doorway but instead of the opening stretching all the way up to the ceiling, there is a thinner horizontal plank at the top that is an almost metallically aluminum color. The space is divided up

In the narrator's world, a white floor makes sense because it wouldn’t take away any attention from the wallpaper. We also intentionally made the white floor somewhat imperfect and not so polished because we didn’t want to give off the wrong look. If we were to make it completely white, without gaps, and take time with the strokes, then it would look too fancy and upscale. We were trying to give off the look that portrayed an old “nursery” that was tattered up by little boys. At least that was the cause of the rooms’ disheveled manner according to the narrator. As for the walls, we took sheets of yellow paper and then darkened it. We did this by repeatedly running over it with brown and black colored pencils, which gave it a nice shadow. Doing this allowed the wallpaper to not look like a bright and pleasant yellow. This gave it an older and dirtier foundation. We also crafted a bed from extra cardboard and taped it to the floor. We made it just out of reach in relation to the upper wall of them room. We did this to signify the importance of the bed being bolted to the ground, and how limiting it
