Why Furniture in an Apartment Should Be Light: A Designer's Explainer

The color of the furniture installed in the apartment is very important.

Properly selected sofas, armchairs, cabinets, tables and chairs make the appearance of the room more interesting.

But furniture items of the “wrong” colors visually narrow the space and deprive the room of coziness.

The expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior design Yulia Tychino recommends to put only light furniture in the apartment. For three reasons.

Expansion of space

Furniture in white, light gray and cream colors visually makes the room appear wider.

This happens because the boundaries in the interior are “erased”.

Light

Thanks to furniture in the above-mentioned colors, the room begins to seem brighter.

The apartment residents will not have to use additional light sources: one lamp will be enough. And sometimes it will be enough to simply open the curtains.

Purity

It would seem that white furniture only gets in the way of people who love cleanliness. After all, any spot immediately catches the eye against a light background.

However, this is the result that needs to be achieved: due to the quickly “appearing” dirt, the housewife will be forced to clean frequently.

Thanks to this, the room will almost always be clean.
