Indoor plants can not only make a room cozy and add freshness to it, but also visually increase or decrease the space.

Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told what needs to be done to achieve the desired effect.

One large plant with a lush crown will help to visually reduce the size of the room - it will fill the free space, making the room more comfortable.

It should be noted that solitaires are only suitable for spacious rooms with high ceilings, otherwise the effect will be excessive and the room will seem small and cramped.

How to Make a Room Look More Spacious

To make the room more spacious and fill it with air, use hanging pots with small hanging plants.

You can achieve a similar result by planting tall greenery in pots and then placing them on the floor.

To enhance the effect, place mirrors near the plants.

Reflections will multiply the amount of greenery, and a few well-placed pots will look like a real green field in the middle of the room.
