Why the apartment seems cramped: designers reveal the main reasons

Some people think that only miniature apartments with small square footage are cramped, but this is not always the case.

Sometimes, due to incorrect interior design decisions, even a spacious area seems small and uncomfortable.

What could this be related to?

Old idea of furniture

Previously, there was a real "cult" of furniture, so everyone tried to buy the most complete sets, which included unnecessary elements.

Now it is recommended to get rid of excess furniture. Leave only what is necessary to feel comfortable.

Inappropriate shades

Interior designer Yulia Tychino , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti, reminds us that any apartment that is decorated too colorfully and brightly can seem cramped.

Therefore, choose shades that can visually expand the space, rather than “clutter” it.

Lack of good lighting

If you don't have enough natural light, combined with a lack of a decent lighting system, your apartment will feel small and cramped.

Therefore, this question is one of the most important.
