The extra large cushioned bench in this dining corner yells Alice in Wonderland to me with its whimsical charm and cozy appeal. Wouldn’t catching up with a dear friend over tea in this corner be heavenly? The bench captures your attention, but the other elements of this dining nook feel subdued and natural for a nice balance.

Here’s another dining area that feels very charmed and Alice in Wonderland-like because of the use of oversized armchairs as dining seats, large drum lighting pendants and oversize mirror. The use of symmetry and the black and white palette works well in this area, also. The size of these rooms’ elements do as much work, you don’t have to muddle it with color.

This room feels expansive due to this drama scale. Large art hangs along with an impressively sized chandelier. Take a closer look: its neither of these elements that are oversize. It’s the additional wide dining table that gives the area its large feel. Pairing huge items with even larger items can work.

The use of one additional large and very low coffee table not just serves as a place to set down cups, but in addition, it functions as an informal and rather incognito divider between two seating areas in one large room. Really clever.

Most of us know mirrors may make rooms feel larger by representing light and incorporating the illusion of more space. An oversize mirror in the bedroom feels comfy and does the job of doubling the appeal of this luxe drapery and lounge chair.

Whenever you do hang a huge mirror at the entrance hall, consider adding an oversize item d’art or attachment as an instant conversation starter upon entering the house. This large green ball sculpture adds a splash of color and texture in one simple gesture.

Bringing an upholstered headboard as large as you can go, almost to the ceiling, is a means to harness the tendency without being too dull.

Let us look at lighting. This lighting ring is big. Really large. What do you think? Is it too large, or just right?

Ikea has done a fantastic job of supplying an oversized pendant such as the Maskros mild without taking itself too seriously. Designed to resemble a dandelion, it is large, but the transparency enables it to blend in the space and feel airy.

The Moooi Random Light is a nice option if you wish to experiment with the fad but not go too big. It is a design classic that won’t ever feel overly trendy.

Another fantastic place to play oversized lighting is outside. This exterior light is very large for the seating area it illuminates, however in compliance with the rest of the home, it does not feel oversized. You get the best of both worlds for this placement of an oversized part. It’s trendy and fun but also fairly secure.
