Woman`s Day tells how to visually enlarge a room and make it as functional as possible without cluttering up the space. Advice to all those who are planning renovations.
If you did not happen to become the happy owner of an apartment of impressive size, do not despair. Even the smallest studio can be transformed and visually expanded using some simple techniques.
An ideal motive for those who want to visually enlarge the space. Vertical stripes on the wallpaper will lift low ceilings, and a striped rug on the floor will visually push the walls apart.
This will keep the center of the room free as much as possible. When buying a rack or ordering a wardrobe, pay attention to the height of the furniture. The higher the cabinet, the more roomy it is. Remember this.
A luxurious large sofa is good on its own (or in the salon), but not in your room. To make the furniture look harmonious and not eat up the entire space of the room, consider its size. Choose a sofa with narrow armrests (an option available to many manufacturers), instead of armchairs, prefer ottomans or folding chairs.
Plasma, a bunch of wires and CDs will not add charm to the room and will create unnecessary clutter and fuss for the eyes – it is best to place all the equipment behind the sliding cabinet doors. A roller blind will help hide the mess on the window.
Furniture made of glass or transparent plastic has a very useful property: it visually merges with the landscape of your room, so that the room does not seem too crowded. Choose coffee tables, TV stands made of transparent materials.
Racks and shelves are best suited for this. They set the rhythm of the space, expanding not only the storage space, but also the room itself. Use the principle of symmetry when arranging boxes for papers, vases, and other accessories.
Everyone knows that white walls increase space. But to further exploit the potential of white, combine it with other lighter shades. For example, white furniture against beige walls will create a sense of perspective, filling the room with air.
