What methods can be used to distract attention from the size of a room, make a very small space interesting to live in, and what role can the ceiling play in this process - read in our new material
Living in a big city, we often have to compromise, including with our own ambitions. In particular, this concerns living in small apartments.
Let this be a temporary measure, but even during this periodsome embarrassment, we still want to feel as comfortable as possible. And without due attention to the environment, it is almost impossible to achieve this comfort. Today we will only slightly touch on the topic of transforming a small space and give 5 examples of techniques that will certainly inspire you to find your own. 1. Corner galleries
An unexpected move, but one that works nonetheless.a very simple principle - switching attention. Thanks to the corner galleries, the viewer's gaze will not be concentrated on the proximity of these very corners and, as a result, the walls, but quite the opposite, the gaze will "wander" around the space, clinging to this or that detail.
2. Light shades for walls and floors
White color as such does not expand space,However, in well-lit rooms, the reflection of this very light from the floor and walls creates a feeling of "glow" and air. It is pleasant to be in such a room, comfortable to work, meet guests and relax. What else could you want?
3. Play of longitudinal lines
The physics of perception is at work here, and after playingcompetently and restrainedly, you can get a very good effect that will not get boring for a long time. The main key is minimalism and correctly placed accents. The stripes should be contrasting and have some support from the decor and accessories.
4. The right place for a mirror
In this case, we mean a large mirror,which will act as a portal, window or door, thanks to which the space can increase almost twice. This technique works best in symmetrical interiors, although with a certain amount of ingenuity, success can be achieved in the most unexpected ways.
5. New "face" of the ceiling
Painting, wallpaper, vinyl stickers, painting...With proper execution and support from the rest of the interior, any technique will work. With one technique you will be able to "disperse" attention, with another - "lift" the ceiling, with a third - "stretch the walls", with a fourth - simply diversify the interior.
The main thing when working with a ceiling is not to “give birth tomonsters." Just one mistake can cause your head to jerk constantly due to illusions caught in your peripheral vision. To avoid this, try not to create too many large, single spots of contrast. In other words, lots of small red octopuses are good, one big one in the corner is bad.
