Professional designers recommend
-
With a lack of area, it is better to buy multifunctional furniture: a sofa bed, a puff-dining room, a workplace on a windowsill or in a closet, etc.
-
Light shades, translucent partitions, mirrors and glossy surfaces visually increase the space.
-
The center of the room should remain free, and the furniture is placed along the walls or grouped several items.
-
The furniture on the legs visually gives the atmosphere of airiness and even a bulky chest of drawers or a cabinet placed on the legs, are perceived easier.
-
The furniture built into the wall saves the area, and the facades in the tone of the walls form a single color space. In a small room, high furniture looks ridiculous.
-
Windows, as a source of natural light, are not recommended to be closed with heavy curtains. Thoughtful artificial lighting also works great for visual correction of space.
