Any architect can tell a whole arsenal of techniques that can visually expand the living room. Consider the most interesting of them. We connect the rooms.
Today, apartments equipped for a studio are very popular and quite common. The space of the apartment – the studio visually looks a little more, even if it will be even a very small apartment. Of course, this option is not the best family with children, but lonely, or who wants to live for a while alone with themselves, such a dwelling will be quite suitable.
Today is also known for a reception, called “Second Light”. It is just perfect for a small country house. The floors between floors are removed here, which also gives a good visual increase in housing space.
In a two -story house, modern designers suggest considering the following option. On the ground floor you can equip a kitchen, a bedroom on the second floor of the house, and if there is still a little more space on the floor, then the living room. The basement can be equipped for a bathroom and a toilet.
Try not to carry to the apartment, and already small, extra objects. Let there be only the most necessary. It is not necessary to keep little things in the house.
Use more mirror and glass surfaces in the house.
For example, a stretch ceiling, with a characteristic gloss, will visually add an additional height to the room. The effect of larger space will also give cabinets and doors with mirrors. They will double the reflection of the room and add interesting and unusual angles.
Also, glass or plastic furniture looks more miniature. Even a rather big glass table, thanks to its transparency, will look airy, and will not be unnecessarily constrained.
In general, the problem of a small dwelling, to some extent, will help to solve glossy, glass and mirror surfaces.
Reception is unusual colors.
Items of an unusual form in the house have a certain influence on the general perception. Unusual curtains, arches, lampshades and lamps will give a certain exposure to space. Often today they use the reception “Inverted attic”. This is when the ceiling area is larger than the floor area, the effect of the diagonal walls. The walls here are not straight, but are at an angle.
Various highlighting shelves, racks, with books and other trifles, also give a visual volume to the room.
3D wallpaper, paintings, with the illusion of volume, are able to expand the room slightly, and besides, are very popular in modern decor.
The color scheme in the design of the apartment is very important. It is worth remembering that light colors can visually expand the space of the apartment, and, conversely, the dark narrow it.
Also, to increase the space of the living room, you can try to comply with the so -called “law of prospects”. It is well known that the objects in the distance look smaller.
