Unfortunately, not everyone can boast of the vast expanses of their home.
And you really want the room to at least visually become wider. However, some design solutions can help with this.
Yulia Tychino, an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, shared useful advice.
First, it is important to choose the right color for the room.
It is important to remember that cool shades, such as blue or light green, as well as pastel colors, help to expand the space. Bright, flashy and dark colors, on the contrary, make the space closed.
When decorating ceilings, you need to use a pattern with a small ornament. Striped patterns should be used with caution, as they can both expand the space and "eat up" the height of the room.
It is best to lay floor panels lengthwise. The best option for expanding space will be light-colored or glossy panels. But it is better to refuse carpets, especially carpets with long pile and dark tones.
If you still want to lay a carpet, you should choose one in pastel shades.
When choosing furniture, be guided by the fact that it should to some extent merge with the overall interior. Minimalism is very relevant in this case.
Try to choose lighter furniture, with open handles, so as not to saturate the room with solid objects. Vertical cabinets will help to visually stretch the room.
A win-win option would be to use glass in the interior. This could be glass shelves, a coffee table, or cabinet doors. When arranging furniture, remember that you cannot overshadow the central part of the room; it is best to place it in the corners.
Lighting is a very important element when expanding space. To maximize the possibilities of natural lighting, airy tulle and light curtains should be used in window decoration, this will allow the sun's rays to enter the room perfectly.
Dark corners of the room can be illuminated with floor lamps or floor lamps. This will also visually expand the room.
