If the room is small, this does not mean that it will be cramped and uncomfortable.

There are many design tricks that can help visually expand a room.

However, no tricks will be effective if the apartment residents do not want to remove unnecessary things from the room.

It is clear that it is a pity to get rid of some items. But it will have to be done, otherwise the small room will look cluttered.

Large furniture

As noted by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, one of the most common reasons for "weighting down" the interior is the presence of excess furniture.

Is there a huge sofa in the room that rarely gets used? Feel free to move it to another room or sell it!

If you leave everything as is, the room will remain uncomfortable.

Large paintings

It is understandable that you want to decorate the walls with something. And a huge beautiful painting seems to be the ideal option.

But not for a small room. It is better to replace a large canvas with several small images in a frame.

Huge lamp

For a large space, such a lighting fixture will become a real decoration.

But if there is almost no free space, then it is worth hanging a small lamp.

Partitions

Of course, using partitions is a great way to zone space.

But why turn an already small space into several very cramped rooms?

Extra stuff on the shelves

The room will look wider if the shelves are empty.

Of course, many housewives want to fill this space with all sorts of beautiful trinkets. But this idea should be abandoned if the room is uncomfortable.
