Small apartments have their advantages – for example, they look much more comfortable than huge penthouses.
True, this can only be said about small-sized apartments if the layout was carefully thought out and no mistakes were made in the arrangement of the housing, emphasizes Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti.
What mistakes turn an already small apartment into a tiny closet – read in this article.
Medium sized cabinets
When choosing a cabinet, it is important to consider its height. If the cabinet does not reach the ceiling, it visually reduces the size of the room. In addition, there is an irresistible desire to put something like a suitcase or a TV box on top.
With a built-in floor-to-ceiling wardrobe, such problems are eliminated. It makes the room higher and more spacious, and if you choose furniture in the same color as the walls, the wardrobe will be almost invisible.
No curtains
Many owners of small apartments prefer not to use curtains, as they believe that they clutter up the space. In reality, things are exactly the opposite.
Curtains on windows can visually enlarge the space and make it lighter. In addition, they protect the room from direct sunlight and prying eyes.
If the room's windows face north, it is better to use light, translucent curtains that will let in light and make the room more spacious.
You can also hang a mirror opposite the window to create the illusion of more space.
Empty walls
In small apartments, the issue of storing things is especially acute. Therefore, the optimal solution would be to use hanging shelves or cabinets. They will help organize the storage of things and avoid disorder.
Also, don't forget about the walls. Several large vertical paintings will help visually enlarge the space and create a feeling of spaciousness. Place them at eye level so that they help "lift" the ceiling.
