So, because of some things, the room begins to seem narrow and cluttered.

Short curtains

At first glance, such curtains are better than long ones: they take up less space and do not “eat up” a lot of space.

In fact, short curtains do not look good in a room. They visually lower the ceiling.

Dark furniture

Dark colored objects reflect little light, making the room appear poorly lit and narrow.

And if the black things are huge, the situation gets worse.

Therefore, replace a dark wardrobe (or sofa) with a light one: this way you will visually expand the room.

Small details

Of course, you want to hang more small paintings on the wall and put more figurines on the shelves.

But you need to understand that numerous small interior elements create the impression of clutter and cramped space.
