A narrow hallway, a small living room, a small bedroom, a cramped kitchen - this is exactly the situation that we see in many apartments.

However, the correct design will help to visually expand the room and make it much more comfortable.

There is one interesting design technique: it allows you to “remove” the cramped and cluttered feeling.

It is enough to arrange furniture and other things in the room in a certain way. As a result, the space will no longer seem crowded.

The essence of the designer's trick

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior design, emphasized that the secret to visually enlarging a room is symmetry.

Sofas, armchairs, beds, tables, and chests of drawers should be arranged so that the “halves” of the room look like mirror images.

Are there two chests of drawers in the room? Place the first one on the left side of the room, the second one on the right side. Moreover, at the same distance from the center of the room.

If some furniture is presented in a single copy, then it should be installed in the middle.

The same should be done with the mirror. If there is only one, then it should be on the middle part of the wall. But it is better to buy a second mirror - for symmetry.

Other objects should also be arranged symmetrically: lamps, television, paintings, books, and so on.
