Narrow rooms, unfortunately, are not uncommon – they are especially common in Khrushchev-era apartments built during the Soviet era.
In such a situation, you can go two ways: accept the existing layout or use some design tricks to visually expand the space.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino shared professional advice on interior optimization.
To decorate a narrow room, she recommends using shiny wallpaper.
This type of wall covering reflects light well, creating the effect of increasing space.
You can purchase both vinyl versions and regular ones with shiny inclusions.
Do you think that wallpaper is a thing of the past? This opinion is valid, so you can use glossy paint for your walls.
Not only wallpaper with glitter, but also paintable ones can visually expand the space.
If your apartment has not one narrow and small room, but all at once, it is worth using one texture and one color. It is recommended to choose light shades, as they are a win-win option.
