Most people place sofas, nightstands and cabinets close to the wall.
It would seem that this is what should be done to save space and prevent clutter.
However, Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication BelNovosti in the field of design and interior, assures that people who “press” furniture to the walls are making a serious mistake.
It is desirable to leave a small gap between the sofa and the wall. And here's why.
What are the benefits of not pushing large furniture against the wall?
Placing the sofa, armchairs and sideboard closer to the center of the room allows you to achieve an interesting effect.
Thus, the room begins to seem more interestingly decorated. The non-standard provides the interior with style.
In addition, furniture left away from the walls visually expands the space. Yes, yes, don't be surprised!
A sofa that is not "pressed" to the side surface stops "eating up" space. The width of the room is emphasized.
But if there are no gaps, this effect disappears.
Earlier, the expert named an unobvious mistake that turns a spacious room into a cramped and uncomfortable one.
