Some people just can't seem to make the interior of their apartment look expensive and stylish.

Although a lot is done for this: beautiful furniture is installed, interesting decorative elements are used, and the most suitable colors are chosen.

Why does the interior remain “budget” despite all the efforts of the apartment’s residents?

Perhaps it is due to the presence of details that cheapen the appearance of the premises.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, named the device that most often deprives the interior of style.

Why does the interior look cheap?

Are there old cast iron radiators in the rooms? Then the source of the problem has been found.

An outdated heating radiator cheapens the interior, even if the room contains only the highest quality finishing materials and only expensive furniture.

How to solve the problem

The best option is to replace the cast iron radiator with a new and interestingly designed one. It is advisable to choose a panel steel radiator or an in-floor convector.

If you don’t have money for a new device, you can simply “disguise” the old battery.

There are two ways. The first is to hide the device in a niche. But this is quite difficult: you need to provide normal ventilation. The second way is to simply cover the radiator with curtains.
