Any owner of an apartment, regardless of its size, wants a large space. It is good if the dimensions of the apartment allow for a lot of space.

In the same case, if the apartment does not please with large rooms, all that remains is to use tricks that will help visually increase the living space.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, spoke about the organization of space.

The first thing you should pay attention to is the color scheme of the rooms.

It has long been known that dark colors visually reduce space, while light colors increase it.

Modern ceiling installation models (stretch or mirror versions) help to increase the height of the room.

To add volume to the room, you can put any floor covering (parquet or laminate), but it must have a strict geometric pattern located diagonally. This trick will help to visually expand the space of even a small room.

A good trick for adding height and volume to a room is to stick on photo wallpapers that depict landscapes in perspective: a night city or a sea horizon.

The second thing to consider is lighting. Of course, the best assistant in increasing the space will be panoramic windows, through which a lot of light will penetrate into the room.

Transparent lamps placed throughout the room give a good effect. However, dark, bulky chandeliers should be avoided.

It is important to pay attention to the correct furnishings of the room.

For a small apartment, the option of installing furniture that can be transformed (this could be a bed that can be put away in a closet during the day) is perfect.

Of course, you shouldn't clutter the room with bulky items. A great solution that allows you to add a sense of space to the room is to install a wardrobe with large mirrors from floor to ceiling.

Any room can be visually increased in size and made truly cozy, you just have to put in a little effort and diligence.
