Even a large living room can appear much smaller due to design mistakes.
The situation will get worse if the dimensions of the room are not actually as big as you would like.
How to decorate your living room to make it seem more spacious
Light colors for finishing
It is not necessary to focus on white, but preference should be given to light tones. This palette is used for painting walls (or wallpaper), flooring and ceiling.
This clever trick makes the living room appear spacious and bright.
Minimum amount of furniture
If you buy special sections, walls, a coffee table, bedside tables and chests of drawers, the living room will look cluttered and not very large.
Therefore, furniture should be stylish and compact, says designer Yulia Tychino, an expert at the online publication BelNovosti.
The right curtains
Many people know that beautiful curtains make the interior look more cozy and expensive. However, not everyone realizes that flowing curtains made of thick fabric make the space more compact and limited.
Therefore, it is worth choosing light fabrics in beautiful tones. Or you can give preference to stylish Roman blinds, thanks to which the space will seem more spacious.
Create zones
If the room is visually divided into several zones, the space is definitely perceived as larger. Therefore, think about the ideal zoning.
For example, you can design a work area in the living room space or highlight an area with accent wallpaper.
Brightness
If the room is decorated in calm shades, it seems smaller. Therefore, a few bright strokes should still be added.
For example, you can hang a spectacular bright poster, buy a beautiful carpet, or diversify the interior with interesting pillows.
Shelves
This interior element is ideal because it does not take up a single centimeter of free space, but at the same time allows you to create the desired atmosphere in the living room.
Plants can be placed on the shelves. Flowers with drooping leaves look spectacular. Or you can arrange an "exhibition" of decorative items and books.
