Almost all of the same design rules of thumb
for small spaces apply to larger abodes, but it's
important to upsize everything — from lighting
fixtures to furniture to rugs — to ensure there's
no wasted space.
"It can look ridiculous if your furniture doesn't fill
the space properly," Koop says.
Also ridiculous: Artwork that doesn't adequately
fill a large wall (or vice versa). And don't even
get Kosman started on undersized area rugs.
"When we're talking about area rugs, all of the
front legs of the furniture around that area rug
should be on the rug," she says. "For example,
if you have a couch and a love seat, and you get
an area rug that's too small, it doesn't look right.
The minimum is the front legs, but we could pull
it to the middle of the couch, because it's hard to
find the exact perfect size of rug."
One of the bonuses of more square footage is
an abundance of natural light. Koop calls it
"a designer's dream."
Among Irwin Homes' larger builds are an "unbelievable" 7,000-square-
foot bungalow on McCreary Road and their current "dream build" —
a custom stunner on acreage along the river on Henderson Highway
clocking in at a whopping 6,000 square feet.
