Anyone who has ever thought about remodeling their home has probably faced the problem of lack of space.
No matter how big your apartment is, there are always ways to make it feel more spacious.
Sometimes small changes can have a decisive impact on the area and overall atmosphere of the house, says Yulia Tychino .
Below are five design secrets that will help you increase the space in your apartment (at least visually).
After all, it is important not only to create a comfortable space for yourself, but also to make it visually more attractive.
Use light shades
Light pastel colours will help create the visual impression of a more spacious room.
They reflect light well and will make the room brighter and more open.
White, beige and grey shades are ideal for walls, ceilings and furniture.
You can also use open floors covered with light-colored laminate.
Optimize your furniture
Ditch massive furniture in favor of more compact and functional options.
Furniture with transparent glass elements or on legs creates the illusion of free space underneath.
Choose furniture with bright white glossy fronts and minimalist design.
You can also use furniture with drawers and folding elements to free up additional space.
Focus on open shelves and mirrors
Open shelves create a feeling of lightness, and mirrors reflect light beautifully and make the room appear more spacious.
Place open shelves on the walls instead of closed cabinets to visually enlarge the space.
Mirrors on the walls will also help to increase the space and add light to the room. Choose mirrors with metal or wood frames for added style.
Proper lighting
Use multiple light sources to make the room brighter and more spacious.
Instead of one main chandelier, use table and floor lamps, as well as spotlights and lighting inside cabinets and behind kitchen fronts.
Light LED dimmable bulbs will help create a cozy lighting in the evening, while daylight will make the room brighter and more energetic.
Create visual focal points
Use furniture and decor as visual focal points to draw attention away from the size of the room.
Distractions such as shelves, abstract paintings, colorful sofas or bright throw pillows can be accents that will attract guests' attention and make the room more interesting.
So, by following the above five design secrets, you can create a visually spacious and stylish home, where every corner will be used as efficiently as possible.
Don't be afraid to experiment and add elements to your interior that reflect your personality and style.
