Does a wider board make a room look bigger?
The answer is No. Wider boards (4″ or wider) actually make a room appear smaller than it is; whereas, narrower boards such as 2-” and 3″ will make a room appear larger than it actually is. For example, let’s say you have a room that is 20 x 20 which is 400 Square Feet. Now put some oversized furniture, a big screen television and a large entertainment center in that room. Now stand back and look at the room. Do you think the room looks bigger or smaller?
