How to enlarge a small room
For many people, small housing is the only way to get their own apartment and live separately from their parents. Some small rooms seem nice and cozy. And this, of course, with a good interior it will be so. However, this does not negate the fact that a small room has one obvious disadvantage - its modest size. Indeed, in a small room it is not so easy to fit all the necessary furniture. And with the wrong approach to interior design, it can seem crowded and too dark.
In fact, without a complete redevelopment of the apartment, a small room cannot be enlarged. However, this can be done visually. A thoughtful and careful approach to the interior may well make a small room more spacious and bright. Interior designers are often approached by clients who need to furnish a small home functionally and stylishly. Therefore, any designer can work with such a problem. In this article, we will tell you about ways to visually enlarge small rooms.
Color of furniture and walls
When choosing a color scheme for walls and furniture, give preference to light colors. After all, they visually expand the space. Also, it is better to refuse large drawings and prints, as they just visually make the room smaller. Another point - the colors should be chosen cold, as they more effectively expand the space. It is best, of course, to choose plain wall covering options. The same recommendation applies to furniture upholstery. Of course, this does not mean that the entire living room should be painted white, but white as a base would be ideal.
Floor and ceiling
Dark colors are contraindicated for the ceiling, as they visually reduce its height. The only exception may be pure black, but it will not be appropriate for every interior. If you do not want to use white for the ceiling, pay attention to light shades of blue, green, yellow, pink. When choosing a floor covering, you should pay attention to monochromatic options. If your choice fell on a laminate, then it is absolutely not worth laying it across the room, because the direction of the tiles will visually shorten the room. When choosing a rug for a bedroom or any other room, give preference to plain models. Last resort, with a geometric pattern. But not with a large pattern.
Curtains and furniture
When choosing furniture, give up bulky designs. It is better to choose a sofa with legs, the same applies to chairs. For the kitchen, it is better to choose folding furniture in general - a folding dining table, the same chairs. This will save space, especially when these things are not in use. Also, it is worth abandoning curtains made of heavy and dense materials. Choose light natural materials, and if you want to add light to the room, it is better to use tulle altogether.
Window
Good natural lighting can visually make a room feel larger and freer. So, if possible, try not to cover the windows with curtains. And in general, if you have the opportunity to make windows larger, then you should do it. Also, do not give up mirrors - they reflect light, due to which the lighting in the room only intensifies. And this is also very useful for small rooms.
