If you feel uncomfortable in your own apartment, don’t rush to blame it on poor repairs or lack of decor.

It is quite possible that the reason lies in the incorrect arrangement of furniture, says Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti and designer.

Here are the most common mistakes that apartment owners make in this matter.

Sofa near the wall in the living room

You can resort to this solution only if your living room is tiny. In a spacious room, the sofa should be closer to the center to mark the rest area. But placing the sofa in the very center is also not an option, otherwise everyone will trip over it.

Chest of drawers facing the bed

In such a situation, there can be no talk of saving space. Try placing the chest of drawers to the left or right of the bed to get rid of the bedside table and thus save at least a little space.

Sometimes, thanks to such a solution, it is possible to create an additional area in the bedroom, when a small desk is located in the corner, and a chest of drawers acts as a base.

Vertical shelving in the children's room

The horizontal model has many more advantages: firstly, the child will have access to all the shelves, and will not need the help of parents to get a toy or a book, and secondly, the surface of the rack can easily be turned into a bench if you place a mattress and a soft blanket on it.

The table is close to the wall

If you want to keep up with modern design trends, don't push your desk right up against the wall. Instead, leave some space, filling the empty space with a chair or armchair. The main thing is that the sun doesn't shine directly on the computer screen.
