How to Make Small Rooms Appear Larger

Sometimes your living space can feel a little cramped.  Here are a few helpful tips for maximizing the space you have and creating the illusion of a larger area. Choose Light or Bright Paint Colors

Dark paint colors absorb light which can make a space feel smaller.  Choosing a light or bright palette for your walls will be more reflective for both natural and artificial light, thus creating a more airy and open feel.  Creams, light grays, blues and yellows will work best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean Up the Clutter

Nothing will make a small room feel even tighter than a bunch of extra accessories!  Keep the room tidy by choosing only a few accent pieces, and instead of hanging multiple pieces on the wall, choose one large painting or picture.

 

 

Multipurpose Furniture

Choose pieces of furniture that serve more than one purpose.  Sofas that fold out to beds are a great way to utilize a space by day but also have it function at night.

Media Love at EWF

Lately, our contemporary showroom in the Pearl District has been in hot demand! Our modern furniture and unique aesthetic has drawn in art directors as the perfect backdrop for their ads and editorials.

The Art Institute of Portland combined on-trend fashion and interiors in their photo shoot. 

Check out the editorial section of the launch edition of Gray Magazine: Pacific Northwest Design.

Keep your eyes peeled for Intel's new television commercial filmed in our showroom.

All the media attention has been great, but what we really love is showing you our modern organic furniture collections. See you soon!

Oregon Home Magazine

Pearl District for minimalists – A passion for sustainable style. Most everybody has their own shopping circuit in the Pearl District, one of Portland’s most-vibrant arts districts. Bounded by the Willamette River on the north, N.W. Burnside on the south, N.W. Broadway on the east and I-405 on the west, the live-work-play neighborhood covers more than a mile, so it’s easy to not stray from what you know. To get beyond our usual haunts, we turned the minimalist in us loose in search of all things clean-lined.
