Not all people can boast that the rooms in their apartments can be called spacious.

Often the rooms look cramped and uncomfortable.

To solve this problem, you don’t have to get rid of your favorite furniture.

The space can be expanded visually. And the "play" with shades will help with this.

An interesting trick was shared by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design , Yulia Tychino .

What color will help expand the space

Pastel colors help to make the room visually more spacious.

It is better to opt for cool colors. The ideal option is beige.

A room whose walls are painted in this particular color will appear wider.

Moreover, it is desirable to maintain a uniform design. All walls, as well as the ceiling, should be beige.

It would also be a plus to install furniture of a similar (but not necessarily the same) color.

What colors should not be used

It is advisable to avoid using dark colors in the interior. In addition to visually "narrowing" the room, they also negatively affect a person's mood.

Therefore, it is not worth making the walls black.

Very bright colors can certainly cheer you up. However, a room with an abundance of red, orange, pink and green colors will hardly seem spacious.
