Forget about the carpet, make all the walls with bright and use only closed storage - find out what you should not do when planning and decorating a narrow room.
1 Laminate along the room
A non-obvious error, which is easy not to notice at the repair stage: Put the floor with a pattern that will go parallel to the long wall. Such an outdoor coating visually further narrows and extends the space. Most often, such a mistake is performed with laminate.What to do
Lay out the laminate across the room, as in the examples from the gallery. It is necessary to cut the boards, and the laying will take a little more forces and time, but you visually expand the room, and the space will look harmoniously.
2 Forget about the carpet
It may seem that a large carpet is inappropriate in a small room, but this feeling is deceptive. In fact, if the floor will not attract a look, then the entire visual emphasis shifts on the window, and this will emphasize the unsuccessful geometry of the room.What to do
Boldly choose a carpet with horizontal contrast stripes to visually expand the space, or just a large bright model to pull attention from long walls to the floor.
3 Do all the walls of the same color
Everyone knows that when making a small room, it is worth making bright walls that expand the space and add air to the room. But if the room is very stretched, this reception is most likely not enough.What to do
Use one wall for accent to affect the visual perception of the interior. For example, you can make a dark narrow wall near the window and add the composition with a dark floor. The ceiling and walls on the sides will remain light and play in the interior brighter, swinging the room.
Another way is to make an accent one of the long walls. To do this, you can use bright wallpaper with a contrast pattern or pattern. Such a reception seems to separate the wall from the remaining part of the room.
4 Use only closed storage
When choosing cabinets, a narrow room is considered primarily to take care of their width and how to save a convenient passage. But it is also important to think about open storage. The fact is that closed cabinets merge with the walls and do not cling. As a result, the problem of perception of space does not disappear anywhere.What to do
Add open shelves, especially on narrow walls. So you will attract attention to them, as well as increase the storage area. Looking the interior will be thought out and cozy.
5 uneven place furniture in the room
When choosing a place for a bed or desktop, many make a mistake: leave most of the furniture in one part of the room. As a result, part of the space by the window remains blank, the interior looks unevenly loaded.What to do
Shoot all the important closer to the window. Put the bed close to it, placing it across the room. Hang posters or photos on the wall, move the chest or bedside table.
Also at the window you can position the place to work. It will be useful for the eyes and create the right attitude, and the table will give a horizontal line that will expand the room.
6 Forget about lighting
One of the most annoying mistakes that can be made in an elongated room is to use an insufficient number of light sources. Because of this, darkened uncomfortable angles will appear, shadows from large furniture. The interior will be gloomy and uncomfortable.What to do
Place several light sources, but not on the same line. Let the treser stand in the corner, the chandelier hangs closer to the window, and over the bed is a pair of sconce.
