Perhaps the most popular way to visually expand space is to install mirrors.

However, you shouldn't overdo it with the use of reflective surfaces.

It’s not very pleasant to be in a room with a lot of mirrors: you have to constantly see reflections.

Therefore, the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design, Yulia Tychino, advises using not only the "mirror" method of visually increasing the area of the room.

Or better yet, do without mirrors altogether. There are more interesting options.

Color selection

The room will look wider if you focus on blue.

The other colors should be light, but not too bright. Orange is a bad option.

Striped wallpaper

Paper finishing material with vertical stripes visually increases the space.

True, we are not talking about expanding the room, but about visually “raising” the ceiling.

Photo wallpaper

It is advisable to choose a finishing material that depicts a distant view (road, sea, etc.).

In other words, there must be a perspective that creates the impression of three-dimensional space.

You can stick photo wallpaper with an image of the sky on the ceiling.
