It has long been known that a house can be made brighter and more spacious with the help of some simple techniques that interior designers have been using with pleasure for a long time. We share these secrets with you.
1. The same cold shade on the ceiling and walls will help to visually emphasize the unusual shape of the space (if, say, we are talking about an attic and the like) and will make it much more spacious and lighter.
2. Solid light walls (it is better to choose a cold shade) and correctly selected floor tiles with a geometric pattern will visually make your bathroom look larger and more comfortable.
3. Do not rush to choose dark shades for the walls in the hallway. Designers recommend taking a closer look at pastel colors, adding a barely noticeable light pattern, which will not only add zest to the room, but also add air and visually expand the hallway.
4. With the help of horizontal stripes, you can visually “raise” the ceiling, if suddenly precious centimeters are gone when pouring the floor. But it is necessary to choose harmonious shades and combine 3-4 shades (for example, a darker color will go near the floor, then a tone lighter, higher – the lightest shade).
5. In small rooms (for example, in a compact kitchen), it is wiser to use open shelves for storage (dishes, kitchen stuff, and so on) instead of bulky furniture.
6. If you do not want to overload the room with unnecessary elements, then give preference to light furniture (made of light wood) or muted neutral shades. Dark colors only work well in large rooms.
7. If instead of an ordinary chandelier, you choose an original copy, then it may well serve as the main accent in the interior and will attract attention. Therefore, even a modest room will look completely free.
8. The part of the house where enough sunlight penetrates during the day can be painted in deeper shades to add expression and originality to the interior. In addition, this will visually separate one room from another, and in general, the space will look more spacious.
9. If you use both wooden panels and light wallpaper (with flickering elements), then you can not only visually enlarge the room, but also give depth and additional light to the walls.
10. Refuse from massive curtains that add “weight” to the room. Better to choose light copies or roman shades. Such models will make the room brighter and, accordingly, larger.
