Any small square can be made to look bigger.

Today we want to teach our visitorsvisually increase the space using various design tricks and compact furniture. When a child at eight years old gets his first bedroom, which, in fact, is not much more than a wardrobe, he still feels love for this modest corner, because for the first time he becomes the owner of his own space. On his own or with the help of friends, he tries to optimally place things in order to get the maximum benefit from every centimeter. As a rule, as a result of the experience gained, it is these people who become avid fans of not huge, luxurious mansions, but modest houses that look prettier and more attractive for them, and also bring less harm to the surrounding nature. There are also such situations that this is the only housing option that a person can afford. However, there are many tricks that can increase and revive even a tiny space. When there is not enough space, the rooms should perform double functions. There should be no useless spaces, such as a living room, which is used only for company reception. In the absence of guests, this should be a home cinema. And the TV set near one of the walls will distract attention to itself, forcing less attention to the surrounding space. You can also hide the TV in the closet or furniture, for example, cover it with doors over the fireplace, which is much nicer to watch than on a black plastic screen. In this one-room apartment living roomalso used as a home office. It looks harmonious, as the desktop is finished using the same materials and colors as the walls, so it doesn’t immediately catch your eye. A soft work chair also creates the illusion of an ordinary resting place. Pay attention to the use of storage cubes instead of the usual coffee table, which during the visit of guests can be used as ottomans. No space for work area? With modern laptops, any surface can be used as a tabletop - even a sofa. To do this, simply push the nearest chair towards it. When the space is too small, ask yourself: What two functions instead of one can be mastered in this room? For example, the dining room can be successfully used as a library. This saves square meters, and most importantly, gives the room warmth and softness. The living room seems more like if there is nothingcould catch the eye. In this case, instead of sofas, a pair of couches without backs is used, therefore behind them are visible walls and exits to other rooms, which visually makes it bigger. The same theory applies to tables. The coffee table in this room is made of glass precisely because it visually takes up less space. And the curtains, hanging close to the ceiling, make you think that it is higher than it actually is. If one room is multi-functional, use carpets to highlight individual areas, rather than as walls or partitions that attract attention and reduce the room. Built-in modules, as in the following illustration,occupy a smaller area than ordinary pieces of furniture. They organically fit into the surrounding space, less filling it. In addition, they are often equipped with additional storage systems. There is no possibility to organize a separate room.for guests? Consider a folding bed option. The furniture market offers a large number of different designs that can, if necessary, disguise themselves as their surroundings, folding out only at the request of the owners. When the furniture stands out too small footage,You can use compact objects, equipped with thin legs. Then the floor is visible below them, and it creates the feeling that they are floating in the air. This is also one of the tricks of the visual increase in the residential area. Mirrors dissolve the boundaries of the room and reflectlight, expanding housing and making it brighter. It is not necessary to limit one mirror, because you can place them on opposite sides of the room, significantly increasing its size. Forget the old saying that small roomsshould be painted in a light color. If you paint them in dark colors, the corners seem to disappear, hiding the borders and making them almost invisible. In addition, these interiors look very comfortable, with a real relaxing holiday.
