It happens that the interior of the premises can hardly be called stylish, modern and expensive, despite all the efforts of the apartment residents.

It would seem that only fashionable and expensive details are used, but the rooms still look cheap.

Incorrect lighting

The interior will not be stylish and cozy without multi-level lighting.

One lamp is clearly not enough. Use not only a chandelier, but also sconces, as well as wall and table lamps.

Inappropriate textiles

Do not use fabric surfaces made from cheap materials when decorating your interior.

And if the room is small, avoid textiles with large patterns.

Furniture of the wrong size

The size of the furniture installed in the room should be proportional to the area of the room.

Placing a sofa that is too large in a small room is a mistake. So is placing a single small armchair in a spacious room.

Small carpet

The floor product should not be too small.

A small carpet will visually narrow an already small room.

Remove such an item or replace it with a larger one.

Vertical blinds

Such sun protection devices have gone out of fashion (especially when it comes to fabric ones).

Vertical blinds transform a cozy room into an office space or a school classroom.

Replace the device with horizontal blinds or do away with it entirely and use only curtains.

Earlier, the expert told what yellow color goes well with in the interior.
