Designers claim that the area of the apartment does not matter. Knowing the tricks that allow you to visually expand the horizon, you can see for yourself.

These rules can be applied when renovating a small room or a not very large apartment.

1. Shelves

Instead of furniture with doors, which make the space narrower and smaller, it is better to choose open shelving units with glass shelves. They look light and weightless.

2. Furniture

Upholstered and cabinet furniture should be on high legs. It looks higher and airier, in comparison with furniture on low legs, which looks bulky.

3. Color

Small rooms are best decorated in cool colors. They visually enlarge the space. In this case, furniture is chosen in light shades.

4. Mirrors

It is even recommended to place them opposite each other. This technique allows you to make the room wider. Often mirrors are used to decorate wardrobe doors.

5. Forms

Furniture and other interior items should not have strict geometric outlines. The more angles and straight lines, the smaller the room will seem.

6. Shelves

Instead of chests of drawers and racks, it is better to use hanging shelves. They are not only practical and space-saving, but also serve as a decorative item.

7. Drawing

When choosing furniture, curtains, wallpaper and other materials with a pattern, the choice should be made in favor of small elements. The smaller the pattern, the more spacious the room and vice versa.
