Planning the layout of a small room may seem like a daunting task.
Of course, decorating a small space is not an easy task.
Fortunately, there are many tricks that can make even such a room look bigger. Some of them were described by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior Yulia Tychino .
When arranging a small room, the arrangement of furniture is of great importance.
In the bedroom, pay special attention to symmetry and place the bed in the center or along the wall so that it does not block the windows.
The center of the room ensures easy access to both sides of the bed for everyday activities such as making the bed and changing linens.
Use multifunctional furniture
When decorating small spaces, the main challenge is to make the most of every centimeter.
This is why it is worth purchasing multifunctional furniture for such rooms, such as a built-in wardrobe from floor to ceiling (ideally with sliding doors, not doors that open inwards).
In a bedroom or a child's room, various bookcases, drawers for more personal items, or bedside tables will come in handy.
You can also use the space above or under the bed, or even around it, to store books and things.
Add reflective materials and accessories
If you're decorating a small bathroom, choose a light color scheme from the start and try to stick to it in the shades of your wall tiles and cabinets.
You don't have to go for a white or cream palette, pale blues or greys also reflect light well.
Ideally, add light from outside through a window in the bathroom, and if possible, install a skylight.
The ideal option is to place furniture with a shiny surface or use mirrors.
Creating an optical illusion of space using mirrors is a classic technique.
In addition to the bathroom, it is also suitable for small bedrooms. Mirrors can add style to a room, so they become not only a practical decoration.
Fill the wall with art
The downside of small rooms is definitely the narrow walls that you usually have no plans for.
The next idea may seem counterproductive, but try giving it a chance.
Make the most of the wall by turning it into a small home gallery - hang paintings or prints of different sizes and shapes on it, which will distract visitors from the size of the space.
As a result, you will make the wall special with art, not to mention the creative spirit that will emanate from it.
Brighten up a room by adding indoor plants
In addition to being a piece of nature and greenery in your home, you will also bring extraordinary freshness and lightness to the room.
You will immediately sleep better in a clean, cozy and comfortable home.
