Even a small apartment can be made spacious, comfortable and cozy.

And to do this, it is not at all necessary to free up space by getting rid of furniture.

Don't throw away your wardrobes, chairs, sofas, chests of drawers and tables. You can achieve space expansion in other ways.

Yes, in these cases we will be talking about a visual increase in the area of the room. However, such an effect will be quite sufficient to get rid of the feeling of crampedness.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, named three interesting options for visually expanding space.

Light colors

The room will look more spacious if you paint the walls in light colors.

By the way, it is desirable to make the furniture light. The cabinets should be repainted, and a blanket that is not dark should be put on the sofas and beds.

The use of white, pale yellow, beige and cream colours is a guarantee of visual expansion of space in the room.

Lighting

If you want to stop a room from looking small and cramped, don't limit yourself to using just one lamp.

There should be several such devices. Moreover, it is desirable that they are located at different levels: to create a volumetric effect.

Mirrors

Of course, we shouldn’t forget about such a classic way of visually increasing space as the use of reflective surfaces.
