Many people consider rooms of 12 square meters to be absolutelyuncomfortable. Indeed, you can't place a large number of things in such a room. But it is possible to turn it into a cozy home even without an abundance of objects. Fashionable design of a room with a small area is a harmonious combination of minimalism and maximum functionality of the objects used in the arrangement of the space.
A small room should not be overloaded with unnecessary elements, so the minimalist style is best suited for such rooms.
What things affect coziness?
When arranging any home, you have totake into account a lot of different factors, and the design of a room of 12 sq. m is no exception. An important point in solving the problem is the selection of furniture. To arrange the room, it will be required at least, therefore, we select from the list of things usually required for the room only the most necessary. When there is a shortage of square meters, the best option is compact transformable furniture. The fewer things there are on the floor, the more comfortable it will be to be in the room and more convenient to move around it. To create such conditions, you need to:
- use the space of walls;
- if there are niches, give them the maximum functional load.
Figure 1.When choosing furniture for a small room, you should give preference to narrow wardrobes. You should not get carried away with excessive decoration of the walls, ceiling and floor in a room where every meter counts. It is better to buy just a few stylish elegant accessories, they will look expensive and will give a small room sophistication and charm. When choosing a wardrobe, it is best to give preference to a narrow model (Fig. 1). It is generally accepted that such interior items are less capacious than low wide wardrobes. This is far from true. The only thing: when buying a narrow wardrobe, you must take into account the specifics of its decoration, because its appearance can visually not only expand, but also narrow the space of the room.

What to do with color?
The design of the room is small in size - this isalways special color solutions. If you use dark or bright colors in the design, they will visually reduce its space. What colors will help to avoid such an effect in a room where every meter is valuable? The following colors are used to solve this issue:
- white;
- lactic;
- vanilla;
- light gray;
- beige.
If there is a desire to give spacethe room brightness, small colorful accessories will fit perfectly into the room design. An important point is their combination with furniture, because the latter should be dark shades. Only dark furniture will seem smaller in size, and the room, thanks to it, will be larger.
Figure 2.With the right selection and design of the furnishings of a small room, you can visually increase its space. With a shortage of living space, small bright paintings can make the walls very original. But there is another danger here: an excess of bright elements in the design, which is considered a sign of bad taste. The colors of furniture, accessories and walls should not contrast strongly with each other. Too much with contrasting solutions will lead to the fact that the design of the room will be perceived as unlaconic and fragmented. When there is a choice between buying wooden or glass interior items, it is best to buy the latter. Fashionable room design should be distinguished by airiness and ease, which can be created by the glass texture of furniture. Return to contents</a>
About corners, mirrors and frescoes
But what to do with the corners, whose decorationis a pressing issue for large rooms as well? There is a simple rule to solve this issue: fill all 4 corners with furniture, but never clutter up the central part of the room. Mirror surfaces can visually significantly expand the space of a room. A mirror wall is not the best option for a small bedroom. But if we are talking about a living room, this is the perfect move to make the room elegant and elegant. Return to contents</a>
A small space - a creative approach to arrangement
Wallpaper and frescoes with "landscapes stretching into the distance"are able to visually expand the boundaries of the room. In such a design, it is necessary to give preference to blue and its shades (Fig. 2). And it is better to refuse red and its tones, as they tend to visually reduce the space. And one more important touch: the number of design accents in a tiny room. The ideal option is if there is one accent, for example: a bright transformable sofa, to which a painting or figurine is selected that echoes it in color. For lovers of retro style, there is another option: black and white photos on the walls and a small coffee table made in the same color scheme. Zoning of space is also necessary for a tiny room, where screens and any partitions are inappropriate. In such cases, it makes sense to use the technique of color zoning, for example, to use two types of wallpaper in pasting the walls.
