The problem of designing and decorating small apartments is one thing - you need to not rearrange, so that the space does not look clogged. We list the most common mistakes that are worth taking into account all owners of small-sized.
1 Rearrange with storage accessories
In a small space, the correct organization of storage is of great importance. However, excess boxes, boxes and baskets lead to litter and overload the interior.How to fix
Spend the revision of your things. Sleeping should be taken as a rule, at least once every six months, throw away unnecessary, to give the objects that you do not use in need or send it on processing. Ideally - think over imperceptible storage. If the cabinets are missing, use the space under the sofa or bed.
2 choose small objects
The fact that you have a small apartment does not mean that it should be the same small furniture items. For example, the choice of a small sofa will save space, but it is hardly a practical purchase.How to fix
Make focus on object functionality. So, if you choose a sofa in a small apartment, let it be triple and folding, but a simple form.
3 Put objects in the wrong places
For example, too much coffee table will definitely spoil the ergonomics of a small room. It will block the path, and, moreover, about the edge will always be a risk to hit.How to fix
If you take as an example, the same coffee table and the condition that I don't want to refuse it, there is a way out - choose a small coffee table and put it out before the sofa, and on the side. The functionality will continue - you will be where to put a cup with hot tea or put a log, but it will definitely not block the path.
4 Skip too many objects to limited area
For example, try to put a double bed, bedside tables, challenge the sofa with a coffee table, and still make a workplace.How to fix
Put priorities. Let's say the bed and the sofa can be fit in the room of 15 squares, but then you will have to abandon the bedside tables, coffee table and select a folding desktop.
5 fear colors and drawing
The opinion that bright colors make a room less, it has long been outdated. You can use them, albeit with caution.How to fix
Select the right colors and drawings. For example, the geometric pattern is a vertical strip - visually increases the height of the ceiling, and it is known for a long time. Do not necessarily choose a strict strip. Roma, vertically oriented drawings will work on the same principle. As for colors - deep shades of blue, green, Bordeaux will only benefit the small room. By the way, you can even use black color.
6 Forget about lighting
The only chandelier under the ceiling will make the room even darker. But a large number of lamps and lamps will not help the small room, especially the outdoor options that will occupy the place.How to fix
In case of registration of a small space, it is better to take care of the lighting at the repair stage, consider several lamps on the ceiling so that there are no dark corners. But if the repair is ready and you have not provided it, you can try to correct the position with the help of LED garlands. They will add comfort and diverse light scenarios.
7 Had curtains too low
Curtains under the ceiling and in the floor is an easy way to pull the height of the ceiling, if we talk about the design tricks. But many still neglect this and hang eaves too low.How to fix
If you have a stretch ceiling, you can plan the placement of the cornice even at the repair stage to provide holes in it and mortgages under the cornice. If the repair is already over, place the rod so high as possible. Choose models in the color of the wall or ceiling to make them less noticeable.
8 give up the things "2 in 1"
For example, an ordinary coffee table is not as functional as analogue with a storage basket. And the rack and desktop separately will take a twice as much space.How to fix
If you think that such objects of furniture make only to order, we hurry to dissuade you. Even in the mass market, you can find multifunctional objects of the situation, in particular, in IKEA -Sellage with a folding table from the "Ivar" series or the coffee tables "Kvistbru" and "Tingbi".
