It is worth only to realize several reasonable ideas into reality, and even the most sullen room literally lights light and fresh air.
1. Simple silhouettes
Design: Bureau Alexandra Fedorova
Clean forms and minimum textures are a basic formula for light and air interior. There is nothing more pleasant for the eyes than clear and clear, but it's not an impact geometry: laconic furniture, straight or slightly rounded corners, simple shape carpets. Such an approach to the situation is the key to the lung and psychologically unscrewing space.
2. Light background

The bleached ceiling and the same walls today are not new, so pay attention to the bright, but more interesting shades: Ecru, dairy, mint, sage, lavender. To finish the floor, choose a whitewash oak, carpet of light tones or a neutral shade of laminate. Remember - the maximum visual light effect can be achieved due to the general bright gamut of the floor, the ceiling and walls.
3. Thusing accents
Design: Farrow & Ball
No matter how controversial sounded, bright shades should not fill out all the space. If you correctly use dark silhouettes and a couple of bright accents on a light canvas, get a bonus in the form of an additional volume due to the underlined geometry.
4. Minimum textiles

Good textiles in the interior is undoubtedly one of the most important components of the situation. However, in rooms where there is not enough light and volume, the textile design must be taken particularly carefully. The number of types and textures of tissues should be minimal, and textures - as simple as possible. Therefore, do not get carried away with all sorts of places, pillows, tablecloths and heavy curtains.
5. Good reflection
Design: CHANGO & CO
The mirror is our best friend when it comes to a visual increase in space. The ability of mirror surfaces, including crystal and metal elements, visually expand and lighten the interiors is simply great, because they are able to significantly deepen the room and literally double the amount of light in the room. Therefore, place such objects opposite light sources.
6. Solid storage
Design: In-House Design Studio
The smaller the detached lockers, shelves, chest - the cleaner and the volume of the interior looks. If you want to visually expand the space, create one roomy storage system for a monochrome matte facade without a handle, with the Push-to-Open system. Remove the dust-sized structures: hinged cabinets, shelves, dressers along the walls - all this grows space.
7. The principle of minimalism
Design: Splyce Design
If you want to unload the space visually, the easiest way is to do it physically. Do not leave anything extra - unnecessary things, excess decor or furniture. It is better to add a couple of large paintings on the wall than a few shelves with all sorts of things.
8. Experiment with relief
Design: Maria Vasilenko
Speakingly increase the space will also help the embossed structure, as it is an excellent alternative to the textured wallpaper. Due to the refraction of light, the relief creates a feeling of compound, and, therefore, its direction allows you to adjust the geometry of the room.
9. Multi-level backlight

As for artificial lighting, remember - in the close room of one chandelier in the middle of the ceiling will be not enough. There are also several lamps located around the perimeter: wallpapers on the walls, floor lamps, a pair of desktop lamps. The presence of several layers of light will make room more air and spacious.
10. Blurred borders
Design: ART-UGOL
This is a more complex, but very effective reception, and his main goal is to deceive our brain and eyes. Well, the zoning of open planning ceilings, the use of matte surfaces, the continuation of the floor covering on the wall or the game with the color of the walls in the rooms is coping with it.
11. High ceilings
Design: Angela Todd Designs
Increase the room is not only stitching, but also in height. If your apartment has a standard height ceilings, you can visually overstate them using the ceiling cornice, high doors, vertical ornament on the walls. One way to make a small room or the whole apartment seem more - and to paint the walls and the ceiling at all in one color.
