Why One Wall in a Room Should Always Be Empty: An Important Design Rule

14.08.2024 16:38

Every bedroom and living room should have at least one blank wall.

We are talking about the complete (or almost complete) absence of paintings, posters, etc. on this surface.

In addition, there should be no furniture near this wall.

Why is having an empty vertical structure so important for an interior?

This question was answered by Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior.

What's good about a blank wall

If all the walls in a room are “filled”, then a feeling of clutter and crampedness arises.

The interior begins to feel overloaded.

Being in such a room does not give a person the opportunity to completely relax.

But if you “free” one of the walls (move all the furniture away from it and remove the accessories), the situation will change dramatically.

There will be free space in the room. The eyes of the person in the room will rest.

If you can’t make the entire wall empty, then free at least part of the structure from unnecessary details: a positive effect will also be achieved.
