There can be no additional partitions in a small apartment.
While at first glance this seems like a good solution for organizing space, especially in one-room apartments, in reality it turns into a waste of space and a complete lack of space.
If there is an urgent need to zone a room, do it using colors, textures, and architectural forms.
The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design Yulia Tychino shared other recommendations for arranging a small apartment.
Chandelier
How do you approach choosing a chandelier? If you've never thought about it - "a chandelier is a chandelier - the main thing is that it shines", then now is the time.
Beautiful large, voluminous pendant lights are certainly very impressive, but not in a small room, where they reduce the already insignificant space by “eating up” the height of the room.
Remember: the lower the lamp is located, the lower the ceiling appears and, accordingly, the smaller the room. Massiveness in this case is your main enemy, and a sincere desire to arrange an expensive-looking interior can play a cruel joke on you.
Hidden lighting, spotlights, lamps with hidden structures are much better and an optimal alternative to a luxurious chandelier: they will visually expand the space.
Doors
Doors should not be massive either. The best option is sliding doors, which can be hidden in the wall if necessary.
No doors at all is also a pretty good alternative, especially now that studio apartments are gaining popularity. Glass doors in small spaces are welcome, provided that there are no children living in the apartment.
Furniture
We have already mentioned the desire to keep the amount of furniture to a minimum. This applies even more to accessories and decorative elements. The decor should be balanced and calm, preferably in a minimalist style.
If you can't live without bright colors, a few accents will be enough. Large paintings, lots of figurines and photo frames on the shelves, floor lamps, voluminous and dark curtains - all these are your enemies that steal space. For a small room, mirror decor can be an excellent solution.
Decorating small spaces is really quite problematic. Using our tips, you will definitely be able to create a beautiful and comfortable interior.
