A small apartment is, of course, very cozy. But we always strive for more. How to visually enlarge a small room and add more space to it? Designers elite real estate agency in Kyiv THECapital decided to share tricks and life hacks on how to make a small apartment big.
- We assess the scale of the problem. The most important thing in the interior is to set the correct volume. Harmonious proportions of ceiling height and room area are the key to a comfortable space. A large ceiling height increases the area of the room, a small one decreases it.
- A wild animal is a compositional center. One large object was added to one small small room, it attracted all eyes and diverted attention from the size of the room. End. The indoor composition center is an axiom. For example: a panel near the bed in a small bedroom.
- Symmetry. A drop of symmetry will transform your small apartment and add respectability. Thanks to symmetry, a small room will not seem cramped or crowded with furniture. However, do not overdo it, a house full of symmetry is boring. Read also: How to draw up a contract for renting an apartment: the main nuances.
- Single flower. Walls of the same color in adjacent rooms not only unite the rooms, but also add a little more space to the apartment. This principle also works with the floor and ceiling, visually increasing the height of the room.
- In the mirror. Not only for photo bulbs, but also for business, place mirrors near doors or opposite doors and windows. This technique automatically adds air to the space, creating the illusion of more rooms in the apartment.
- Where is your closet? Play a game with the space where your chameleon wardrobes are the same color as the walls. The prank was successful when your guests can't see and can't find your closet at all. Only, please, do not use wardrobes! It sank into summer with the dinosaurs.
- Only favorite and necessary. Decide on the number, size and shape of the items you need in the room, the rest - on the way out. Give preference to objects of round shapes.
- Everything is transparent. Glossy and shimmering objects will help to remove the load from the space, but at the same time they will preserve functionality - they will fill the room with air and freshness.
- Out of sight, out of heart... attach a shelf above. We tend not to notice what is above eye level, so the room seems more spacious. But these places are only suitable for things that we rarely use.
- In the name of ergonomics. Give up some familiar items. For example, instead of a large refrigerator, you can put a small one built into the countertop. Instead of a four-burner cooking surface, install a two-burner one.
