"A small room should have small furniture": should this rule always be followed - a designer's answer

It is generally accepted that only compact furniture can be installed in a small room.
On the one hand, this approach is correct, because small objects do not “eat up” much space.
A small ottoman takes up much less space than a huge sofa, and a chest of drawers is not as bulky as a wardrobe.
However, Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, assures that the rule “small furniture in a small room” does not need to be strictly followed.
In some cases, larger items can still improve the appearance of a small space.
Disadvantages of small furniture
Of course, small pieces of furniture take up little space.
But if too many of these things accumulate, the room becomes cramped and loses its coziness.
It is better to install one large piece of furniture than many compact ones.
Pros of Large Furniture
When used correctly, a king-size bed (or large sofa) can help enhance the look of a room.
If there is only one large piece of furniture in the room and it matches the color of the walls, the space visually expands.
If there are no numerous poufs and tables in the room, then a lot of free space is preserved and there is no feeling of crampedness and excessive diversity.
Earlier, an expert explained why even after renovation the kitchen seems uncomfortable.
