Go Big At Home

We can help you with finding statement pieces for large rooms but also for small spaces. Here are some tricks to help make the area look a little larger.

 1. Clocks

Spruce up your home office, family room or kitchen with an easy solution that says “I’ve got the time in hand” with an oversized clock! The one shown is 32” in diameter, with a black frame and a white face. Clocks add a not-so-expected touch of sophistication. A round shape looks lovely just about anywhere but rectangular, square or ovals lovely are as well.

 2. Mirrors

Cabinet with lamp and mirror

Entranceways quite often have a bench or cubby which is practical but another practical idea of course is a mirror, but this time go BIG. A small space can feel larger and a dark space can appear lighter as light and other images reflect to help make an area appear larger. Narrow restaurants use this trick all the time, so take notice the next time you go to a restaurant like this. Depending on your style, colour of frame and shape preference, you can get one that suits your home perfectly. These are super practical in a bedroom against the wall or the back of the closet and you don’t need to have a large closet to make this work.

Before you leave the house you’ll be prepared with a quick head-to-toe check.

 3. Large Headboards

A headboard can do the trick if your bedroom is not that large and could use a focal point. There are many styles to choose from so you can have fun looking through Bennett’s showroom, and catalogues. Elegant fabric, a sleigh style headboard or maybe a nostalgic looking metal frame may suit your bedrooms decor.

Many people opt for serene tones in the bedroom to exude calm and quiet. Having said that though, a room that has neutrals can often use a statement piece for a little impact. Here’s one with the look... this handsome bed with a classy headboard does the trick.

 4. Full size Lamps

Lamps are a great way to add more light and personality to your space. Choose one in a fun accent colour or with a neat texture to add more depth and character to your room. See some of the lamps we love from our Peterborough showroom below.

 7. ‘Roundish’ Shape or Special Function Coffee Tables

Here are 2 attractive styles that say “look at me!” and “rest the snacks on me!””

Glass table

The elegant glass top table has an intriguing set of 3 arched legs that seem to defy nature! The glass top allows for an open feeling in a living or family room with a grouping of furniture around a rug because you can see through the glass. It’s particularly right for a room with a pretty patterned rug where you desire the appearance of more space.


OR

This rectangular table has a lot going for it with a lift top that easily allows you to pull the table top up towards you using a hinged mechanism. There is also storage under the lift top, so you can now conveniently utilize the surface space as a desk for your laptop and work supplies or as a table to eat from.
