Do you want to trick your eyes and start perceiving a small room as quite spacious?

It turns out that this result is achieved with incredible ease.

A popular approach is to repaint the walls in light colors.

Another simple way to visually expand space is to install mirrors.

However, Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, suggests paying attention to another trick.

So, to visually transform a small room into a large one, it is enough to put a certain carpet on the floor.

What kind of carpet should I choose for a small room?

The main rule is as follows: "The color of the product should match the color of the walls. Or at least be a shade of the main color."

Choosing such a carpet is a guarantee that the boundaries in the room will be “erased”.

The space will begin to be perceived as a single whole, will acquire lightness and airiness. And this is very important for a room that cannot be called large.

But if the carpet contrasts with the color of other surfaces, the opposite effect will occur: the space will visually narrow.

A carpet with transverse stripes would be ideal for such a room.

A product with such a design will contribute to the visual expansion of space.
