It is believed that visual premises reduce dark colors, so it is necessary to paint the walls strictly into white. But not everything is so unequivocal. Sometimes deep shades on one or two walls on the contrary will work on the effect of magnification. We list not quite obvious techniques, from which it is better to refuse if you do not want to make your apartment visually less than it really is.1 too large number of furniture
Filling with furniture of each room should be carefully thought out. It is important to proceed from the needs of people who will live in an apartment and functionality. This is especially important for small apartments, but does not mean that spacious premises can force the objects of the situation. They will also be visually smaller.
What's better
In a small bedroom, it is possible to better abandon the bedside tables, replacing them with pendant shelves near the bed. In a small kitchen, you just need to try to accommodate a large table, but choose the one that is less, but folded. A large modular sofa and several coffee tables will look in a small living room.
It is important to leave free space, which will give the feeling of air. And one moment. Polit all furniture items to the walls are also wrong. The room needs a speaker.
2 One chandelier under the ceiling
The lack of light in the room exactly visually will make it less. And when under the ceiling, only one chandelier, the angles remain dark and poorly illuminated. Even in small rooms it will not be enough.What's better
Think over diverse light scenarios. Let you have on the ceiling - chandelier, and near the sofa - lamp. Or chandelier in combination with point lamps.
3 too many prints
The drawing on the wallpaper, drawing on the carpet, on the pillows - even this is already a lot, especially in a small room. Didnavine prints that do not fit with each other, will create a feeling of overload in the interior. And visually it will litter it. The overloaded interior, in turn, looks close.What's better
It is worth limking to one or two accents. If you made an accent wallpaper with a print, select 1-2 decorative sofa cushions on which there will be a drawing.
4 Different flooring
In a small apartment, put different floor coverings, perhaps not worth it. Such zoning visually breaks the square, and will make it even less.What's better
You can choose one floor covering for the entire apartment, except, except for, bathroom. Designers, for example, are not afraid to use laminate in wet zones. The main thing is to choose a high class of laminate with high water strength and resistance.
This was done by Charitynikov and Tatiana Kochetov from the studio Lares Design when working on the project of a studio apartment. According to designers, laminate is quite durable and moisture-proof in order to use it and in the working area of the kitchen, and in the hallway.
5 Lack of closed storage systems
It is worth abandoning the large number of open shelves with the decor, because they contribute to the visual decrease in the room, if overflowing.What's better
Behind the closed doors it is easier to hide things so as not to create visual interior overload. However, if you have an open rack, where the open areas alternate and closed, or you use boxes and baskets to hide part of things there, this option is suitable.
6 Only one color
In everything you need a measure. Do not rush to do a completely monochrome interior in a small apartment, picking up white furniture under the white walls. Such space is likely to look like a close box.
What's better
Contrasts are needed if there are few of them. The emphasis will attract attention.
You can use the reception, which was used by the architect Anna Suvorov in the project of an apartment with an area of 38 square meters. The walls are painted in a shade of gray, but as it removes from the window it goes into a darker. This technique helps to visually increase the space.
