Small spaces can be enlarged, but only visually. The area does not become larger, but the brain does not suffer from the extra load.
When decorating such rooms, you need to avoid mistakes that can do just the opposite. This happens if you suddenly choose the wrong curtains.
Let's find out what designers think about window decoration in small rooms.
Mistake one: lambrequin
Not only is this element increasingly being called a relic – in cramped spaces it has no place at all. Curtains with lambrequins will “press down” the window, lower the ceiling, and there will be even less space.
Mistake two: skirting board or cornice
We refuse ceiling plinth and wall cornice. This is a sure way to make the ceiling even lower. A win-win option is a ceiling cornice. It is hardly noticeable and creates the illusion of hovering.
Mistake three: folds
You shouldn't gather the curtains into small folds. Large folds look better.
Mistake number four: the length of the curtains
Curtains in a small room should not lie on the floor. Short ones will also ruin everything. Curtains that are precisely measured from the ceiling to the floor look ideal. They create the same correct vertical.
Mistake number five: a bright and large drawing
This is an option for large halls. In addition, the material should reflect light in a small room, and not absorb it.
Mistake number six: color
The best choice is to match the walls, but a little lighter. This way you can erase the line between the walls and the ceiling, expanding the space.
