One small mistake made in interior design can cheapen the appearance of the room.

In addition, a mistake can deprive the room of style and coziness.

What unnecessary details make an interior look “cheap”?

This question was answered by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior.

Plastic skirting board

Yes, the place where the wall and the floor meet needs to be somehow masked.

But plastic is not the best solution. But a baseboard made of wood fiber is a good replacement.

Drywall

About 10-20 years ago, this building material was extremely popular.

What hasn't been made from it: partitions, ladders, arches, and new levels for the ceiling. However, now plasterboard is clearly not in fashion.

An alternative solution is a room without niches, partitions and a “level” ceiling.

Glossy stretch ceiling

At first glance, such a design visually makes the room higher. But this is a misconception.

Stretch ceilings still "eat up" space. But if you still decide to go for such a design move, then you should prefer a matte canvas to gloss.

Cord between ceiling and wall

This detail is very common. And it is surprising because it deprives the room of a beautiful appearance.

It is better to use a shadow profile rather than a flexible cord.

Plastic corners on window slopes

This design solution has long lost its relevance. It is better to use wood fiber boards.
