Sometimes the living room has to be "shared" with the bedroom or dining area, so the space can feel compressed and limited.
Also, sometimes the layout provides for a small number of square meters allocated to the living room.
However, with the help of three simple tricks, you can make the room appear more spacious.
What secrets are worth knowing?
Long curtains
If you visually increase the height of the walls, the living room will seem much larger, says Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.
The easiest way to achieve the desired effect is with curtains. Choose the highest quality material and leave the length to the floor. You can even let the curtains spread along the floor covering - this will create an even more impressive effect.
"Move away" from the walls
If you place upholstered and cabinet furniture evenly along the walls, the space will seem “crammed” and filled “to the brim”.
To avoid this, it is important to arrange furniture with a small gap from the wall.
Large accents
An interesting fact is that small details make the living room visually smaller, but large accents create the desired effect.
Therefore, it is worth paying attention to a large mirror, which should be placed opposite the window. If you choose flowers for the living room, then also give preference to "giants": a large palm tree or a large ficus will noticeably enliven the space and make it more spacious.
