You don’t need a costly renovation to enjoy a more spacious home. Many North Shore homeowners—whether in Glencoe, Winnetka, Highland Park, Deerfield, Northbrook, Lake Forest, Wilmette, Evanston, Glenview, Riverwoods, Bannockburn, or other North Shore communities—are looking for ways to maximize their current space creatively. With simple, strategic changes, you can make your home feel bigger, brighter, and more functional.
Start by rethinking your layout. Rearranging furniture to create clear walkways often dramatically improves how large a room feels. Consider removing bulky or rarely used items and opting for pieces with legs that show more floor space. Mirrors, too, are powerful tools—they reflect natural light and visually expand smaller rooms. For more ideas tailored to North Shore living, explore JanieBress.com.
Smart storage solutions can also transform your home. Built-in shelves, under-bed storage, and multifunctional furniture keep clutter at bay—helping your home feel more open. A calm and organized environment not only improves daily living but enhances overall enjoyment of your home.

Lighting and color also play major roles in perceived space. Soft neutral walls, bright lighting, and streamlined window treatments open up any room. And once your home feels more spacious, it becomes more enjoyable for everyday living and more appealing if you decide to sell.
