We visually increase the compact space with the help of furniture with legs, discreet wallpaper and a floor in the color of the walls.
1. Monochromatic color scheme
The fact that it is best to decorate a small room in light colors is said in almost all tips, but at the same time, there should be very few basic shades, even if they are light, in such an interior, ideally one or two. Therefore, before repairing and decorating, select the main color, find its name according to the Pantone table and at the same time write down a couple of the next shades. This will simplify the search for finishing materials. Print the selected shades on a color printer and go with them to a furniture store, behind curtains and doors, so as not to try to determine “by eye” how much they will fit into the interior.
2. Clean straight lines
The smaller the room, the easier it should be perceived. Therefore, choose laconic furniture without unnecessary decorations, avoid a large number of accessories on the walls. Ideally, if there are no large differences in height or a bright contrast of shape and material between adjacent pieces of furniture.
3. Lack of small details
Do not rush to complement the room with a large number of small and catchy accessories. Start with some minimalism, let yourself get used to the interior and understand what accents it lacks. Perhaps a couple of well-chosen little things will perfectly complete the image. But the excess will make the room overloaded and emphasize a small area. This is especially true for window sills – it is better to leave them empty and not force the window.
4. Open storage
With open shelves and racks, you need to be more careful – they cannot be overloaded and it is necessary to maintain order. In addition, the rule of maintaining a single color direction applies to them too. Therefore, if you need a bookshelf – take care of the same book covers, this will save their appearance and turn them into beautiful accessories.
5. Furniture with legs
Try to find furniture with legs for a small room: a sofa, a wardrobe, and armchairs. Legs make any furniture visually a little lighter, which will benefit the interior.
6. Tall cabinets
Oddly enough, ceiling-height cabinets in a small space look better than chests of drawers and cabinets two-thirds the height of the room. The fact is that visually they look like a continuation of the wall, especially if they match in color with it. This is true for both the bedroom and the kitchen. In addition, it will increase the amount of storage area.
7. Floor in wall color
If you’re in the process of renovating, try to choose floor finishes that match the color of the walls, such as light-colored tile for the bathroom or light-colored wood for the bedroom. If this is not possible, try to find a light carpet.
8. Wallpaper with discreet pattern
When choosing wallpaper, pay attention to models with a discreet pattern, textured. Due to the fact that the interior does not have a wide variety of colors, the room may look a little boring and a variety of textures will solve this problem. You can try to decorate a contrasting wall with light wallpaper with a small, infrequently repeated bright pattern, for example, polka dots or small flowers.
9. Proper placement of curtains
In order to visually enlarge the room, you need to increase the window and raise the ceilings. One way to do this is to hang a curtain rod above the top edge of the window. Curtains at the same time should be fabric, without unnecessary folds, just above the floor or just below the ceiling.
10. More light
If there is not enough natural light in the room, add more additional light sources. A good option would be several well-placed spotlights, with the ability to turn on lighting over different areas, for example, above the workplace and above the bed.
