There are many techniques to expand the space - from white to accent walls and inconspicuous furniture. But in fact, the room seems whether hospital ward, or faceless beige spot. We will look at how to avoid it.
1. white walls
White had already dry mouth. Merging with the ceiling, it really helps to expand the space. But the ten-room rather be like a hospital than a cozy Scandinavian interior.
Council: Instead, White should be used deeper, more saturated colors. The bedroom can be painted in their entirety, and in the living room leaving only one accent wall.
2. Accent wall
By the way, accent walls. They are necessary in order to attract attention to themselves and to change the perception of space. But not everyone understands what should be the focus. Selection of wallpaper in one color, but with a different pattern, not solve the problem.
Council: Dark wall on a light will seem a little closer. This is a good solution for elongated rectangular rooms. Accent should be narrow end wall. Near the accent wall is enough to put a big piece of furniture such as a bed or sofa.
3. The furniture in the color of the walls
In order not to clutter the room close, it is better to choose furniture in the color of the walls, so that it seemed to dissolve in the interior. In fact, it turns faceless interior - formless, usually gray or beige space.
Council: "Dissolve" is better than large objects furniture, for example, pick up a wardrobe, a bed or a sofa in the color of the walls. Make it a practice not so simple, because the slightest shade deviation can cause the opposite effect. And, of course, without bright accents can not do - they may be, for example, chairs or dressers.
4. large prints
Usually in cramped rooms are advised to avoid large prints. Indeed, a large and variegated pattern pulls like a wall or piece of furniture to the viewer - a room seem smaller. But it is necessary to paste over wallpaper walls with fine dense pattern as the effect is exactly the same.
Council: What is important is not the size of pattern and its saturation - flowers, details and "air". Therefore, broad bands the best part, large, but the widely spaced prints better than small and frequent.
5. Mirrors and gloss
Mirrors reflect the room and therefore expand the space. In addition, the room gets brighter. This serves the same purpose and gloss. But sometimes mirrors reflect not quite what we would like, and large glazed surfaces create a sense of the treasury room.
Council: If the interior is a lot of mirrors and gloss, they should balance the textured materials - brick, wood, concrete or textiles. The mirror is better not to be placed on the narrow walls or in front of solid walls with no windows. Ideally, if the mirror will reflect a window or doorway of the room filled with furniture and decor.
6. More light sources
The more light, the more it seems more spacious room. And because the traditional chandelier is replaced by two dozen spotlights and spots with cool white light. Again, it turns out the hospital interior.
Council: Lighting should be diversified and multilevel. Pick floor lamps, pendants, sconces and table lamps that will perform various functionality.
