It seems like a logical thought process to push all your furniture to the very edge of the room, leaving as much free space as possible in the middle. Surely that makes a room look bigger, right? Wrong. What it often does is draw attention to the size (or lack thereof) of the space.
Instead, floating your furniture, even if only ever so slightly off the wall, blurs these boundaries, helping the walls recede and the focus return to the furniture itself.
