The arrangement of small apartments must be approached carefully and thoughtfully.
After all, with the right approach, even a cramped and uncomfortable apartment can be made not only more comfortable, but even visually spacious.
And how to do this, was explained by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior.
Methods to visually expand a small space
One of the main ways to visually enlarge a space is to choose the right color scheme.
To decorate small rooms, it is worth choosing finishing materials in light shades.
If you plan to use wallpaper for wall decoration, choose either plain wallpaper or wallpaper with a small pattern. A large, bright pattern visually reduces the space.
You can also visually enlarge the room using photo wallpaper. But you should use it to decorate only one wall.
It is best to use photo wallpaper with perspective. For finishing the remaining walls we use plain wallpaper.
If you are using paintable wallpaper, choose cool tones of paint, as they can visually enlarge the space. Warm, saturated colors visually reduce the space.
If the room is rectangular, paint the long walls a shade lighter than the short ones.
For small spaces, you should choose light-colored furniture made in a minimalist style.
It is advisable to place it along the walls, leaving the center of the room free. You can also save space by using corner cabinets. An excellent option would be cabinets with mirrored doors.
Heavy curtains with lambrequins are not the best option for small rooms. It is best to hang light fabrics in light colors instead.
