This time, let's talk only about furniture. It is able to expand or will spam room visually. We look at how the owners malogabaritok generally mistaken in the choice, and offer an alternative.
1. Wardrobe in the wall
What's good for the bedroom, the living room is not always appropriate. And it concerns above all the massive cabinets, "walls" and "slides". Even if the storage system built and carefully disguised, it will still "eat" valuable square footage.
Instead of this: Select a chest of drawers or open shelves. Install a pair of cabinets to the ceiling in the corners of the room or on either side of the sofa. Not a bad option - a mezzanine under the ceiling, which is almost invisible.
2. Too large sofa
Furniture should be proportional to the size of the room. Therefore, in a small living room couch may seem too big, just overlapping the ins and outs.
Instead of this: A large sofa can be replaced by a pair of small, double, and set them against each other. Another option - a sofa and a couple of chairs. In addition, when this arrangement guests or family members to communicate will be more comfortable than sitting on a large sofa.
3. corner sofa
In the corner of the sofa itself there is nothing wrong. Main beware of models in which one of the parties is too long. They visually make the room more elongated. And if the plan was not originally perfect, the living room will turn into a car.
Instead of this: Choose a sofa with approximately the same parties. Not bad modular model consisting of several blocks that can be composed together or separate.
4. massive chair
Chairs with high backs and armrests massive sometimes take up more space than a full sofa. Moreover, they will be difficult to move. Such a chair by the fire place in the corner, against the wall, because to get around it and do not touch it will be difficult.
Instead of this: Choose a chair with a backrest and armrests, for example, made of wood or metal, and supplement them with comfortable soft pillows. Get easy chair that takes up little space. Or you can do to limit a couple of puffs, which are pushed under the coffee table when not needed.
5. The chandelier in the center
Ceiling lighting (especially powerful enough) can ruin any interior. Lamps should be placed at different levels and in different parts of the room to anywhere was equally light and comfortable.
Instead of this: Secure over the dining table, bar or other semantic center of the interior hook on the ceiling and get the suspension on a long cord. Such a lamp is easy to move from place to place, if you need it, without installation of new wiring.
6. fragmented textiles
The smaller the room, the more holistic interior should look. Too many prints and ractsvetok it may overload. For example, flowered wallpaper, curtains patterned with "ikat" and a geometric print on cushions are unlikely to look good together.
Instead of this: Select one print and repeat it in textiles. You can combine drawing with self-colored or textured fabrics.
