Even the most spacious apartment can seem cramped if you decorate the rooms incorrectly.
Some things "eat up" valuable square meters. It is worth getting acquainted with their list to create a light and weightless space.
Floors without carpets
Some people think that a rug steals valuable space, but this is a mistake. The role of a rug is to unite interior items into a single composition. Lay a large rug in the living room or opt for a light-colored mat.
You will notice that the room has been transformed for the better. But you should not lay two small carpets, as the room will visually become smaller.
Jungle in the rooms
Yes, indoor plants are useful, as they saturate the air with valuable oxygen. However, an excess of flowers will make the room too cramped, creating the effect of piling up things. Do not place all the available plants in one room.
Distribute them throughout your home to create a cozy and comfortable interior.
Overloaded walls
The room will visually shrink if there are too many pictures hanging on the wall surface. The same applies to the carpet, which is still used by some people in the process of decorating the interior of the apartment. It is enough to hang two pictures in wide frames on the wall, because such a solution will create the impression of free space.
Wallpaper with small prints
Many people decorate their apartments in the Provence style. In this situation, plant prints on wall surfaces are appropriate. However, small patterns visually reduce the space.
That is why it is better to buy wallpaper that is decorated with large floral prints. Also pay due attention to the joints of the finishing material. They should be symmetrical and identical.
Snow-white walls
There is no mistake in this point. White color will visually expand the room, but only if you organize the right lighting system.
If there is not enough light, the room will turn into a box, where unnatural whiteness puts pressure on the psyche. You should not choose such a solution if your room rarely receives sunlight.
No curtains on the windows
If there are no curtains on the windows, the room will visually become smaller. Avoid heavy curtains, as light and airy textiles are enough.
Roller blinds in light colors will protect your premises from the curious glances of random passers-by. Attach the curtain rod under the ceiling so that the walls are visually stretched.
Large pieces of furniture
They will reduce the space and will not allow you to move freely around the room. If you have a small apartment, buy elegant sets that are decorated with forged details. It is good if transparent material is used to make the elements.
Lots of accents
Mismatched decorative elements will create a feeling of overload. If you spend a long time in such a room, you are guaranteed headaches. For a small space, use two accent shades, as this will create a cozy room.
Lack of a specific center
Experts recommend creating a specific center in each room, which will become the basis for arranging furniture and decor items. This can be a large window, a sofa, a dining table, and so on. The main item can be quite bright, but other details should remain unnoticeable.
