We explain why it is not always worth getting rid of dust collectors and bulky cabinets, and we tell what the attempts are fraught with the situation "as from the cover."
Myth number 1. Massive cabinets spoil the situation
Fashionable magazines and popular bloggers assure: large-sized furniture climbs the space, spoils the situation and better abandon the numerous cabinets, drawing up its interior.Expectation
Spacious apartment in which a lot of air and light. Freedom from bulky furniture.
Reality
Unfortunately, things still need to store somewhere. And all that, there was not enough space, will be simply painting where it fell. The result is a sloppy interior, chaos, lack of comfort and permanent search fit.What to do?
There are reasonable options to organize sufficient storage - and at the same time not too overload space:
- pick up furniture in the color of the walls;
- organize a dressing room;
- Focus storing outside the residential premises (in the hallway, in the corridor, on the balcony, in the bathroom).
Myth number 2. Better abandon dust collectors
Lovers of practical design and minimalistic spaces are called dust collectors any decor and textiles, not carrying (in their opinion) of an additional functional load.Expectation
Cleanliness and order, nothing superfluous, more rare and fast cleaning.
Reality
Alas, without textiles and decor, the interior often looks boring, inexpressive, template. Not to mention the fact that they have additional functions: decorative accessories can visually expand the space, make the situation of visually more expensive, volumetric and interesting; And Textiles adds to the premises of comfort and textures, and also keeps heat (which is very relevant in the cold season).By the way, from the fact that you will deprive the space of dust collectors, dust in the house will not be less: it will still settle on the surface of the furniture, on the floor, etc.
What to do?
Focus on the golden middle: it is not necessary to get involved in decorated, but also to leave the situation with a dull and faceless too.
Myth number 3. For small rooms - only white walls
We all heard more than once: the white color expands the space.Expectation
Bright, spacious room.
Reality
Room with faceless white walls.What to do?
Yes, white can become an excellent solution for small rooms, but it is important to take into account a few moments.
- There are plenty of white shades, choose your own, focusing on the desired temperature of the color gamut and the level of light illumination.
- You should not leave the walls completely empty and make the interior exclusively snow-white: in the absence of parts and accents, instead of expanding the space, you will get the effect of a flat decor.
- White interiors look much more effectary if you make a contrasting wall, floor or ceiling.
Do not dwell on the snow-white walls, the small area is not a reason to deny yourself in color.
Myth number 4. It is better to choose neutral colors so that you are not tired
Bright paints come, so it is better to make a situation in neutral shades, - advise us from pages of interior magazines.Expectation

Myth number 6. Ceiling can only be light
Many are sure: the color ceiling is the extension of "zero", and the maximum where it can be appropriate - in the children's room.Expectation

It would still be: they look fresh and interesting (of course, we are not at all about the glossy stretch ceiling of acid color), and with a properly selected shade - do not "press" at all, but, on the contrary, visually seem higher.What to do?
Review your opinion about the color ceiling. It may well be the main bright accent of the premises. By the way, if you paint the ceiling in the color of the walls, the room will seem much higher and more spacious.
Myth number 7. Do not use a large number of colors and patterns
"Experts" of all stripes periodically refer to non-existent maxima in the use of colors and patterns in the interior: they do not advise the use of more than three shades, they are recommended to limit the one or two patterns.Expectation
