Get rid of trash
Look around. That surrounds you? Room littered with clothing, old magazines, souvenirs from vacation, toys, some boxes, wires and other unnecessary things? Get rid of it!
Cluttered space presses and creates discomfort.
Perform general cleaning in the house, dispose of all superfluous. Place your order in closets, balcony and attic. Old equipment can be sold, and the clothes do not wear anymore, give to the needy.
To determine the fate of things, ask yourself a few questions.
- You know that the object in front of you?
- He works?
- You need one?
- When the last time you took it in your hand?
- How often do you use it?
- Whether it can be replaced in case of need?
If the answers to the first two questions is negative, throw away immediately, without hesitation. If the correct thing, get her a place. Rarely used items is better to sell or donate. What is the use of the guitar, if you have not learned to play?
To the chaos did not come back, use the special organizers for storage. Look to behold such a box for underwear and hanging racks for shoes and clothes. They can be bought on the economic market or online store.
Organizers can be done independently. For example, paper trays are ideal for storing towels, and from the hoop and an old pillow can make a bag for small things and hang it on the closet door.
Change the color scheme of the interior
The golden rule of interior design small space: the brighter the room, the more it seems.
Black, brown, burgundy and other dark colors eat up 40% of the space. If you want to visually expand a room, paint the walls in bright cool colors: light green, sky blue and others. Wallpaper should be chosen in the same range with a small (but not too small) ornament.
Floor and ceiling, too, should be light. If you do not want a single color gray or light brown floor covering, at least, avoid large motley figures.
Lay parquet and laminate diagonally or herringbone pattern - this visually hides the space and extend irregular geometry walls.
The ceiling should be one or two shades lighter than the walls. Good decision - white glossy ceiling. It is not recommended to divide the walls and ceiling panels are. It is better if one plane will jump to another without any obstacles.
Add light
Sunlight helps us to produce vitamin D, improves blood circulation, helps to normalize metabolism substances and, according to a study by Richard Weller (Richard Weller), a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.
The more light, the more spacious and the perceived air space. And the better it feels living in it people. The house is filled with the sun, there is no place drowsiness, apathy, and bad mood.
Large windows to visually enlarge the space, the small - compress it. As well as the dark frames and windows with lots of flaps and vents.
An important role is played by light transmission glass. One of the best on the market on this indicator - windows Kaleva Deco with option VISIOGLASS.

No less important is the proper placement of the artificial light sources. Spotlights on the ceiling scatter light, making the room visually more lamps give space volume, and high lamps emphasize the vertical lines.
Make a permutation
The less furniture, the more free space. You definitely need to Grandma's old chair, and wobbly bookshelf? Take unwanted furniture to the country or someone given.
Vacant space obstavte multifunctional furniture: bed-transformer sofa with drawers, and so on.
Well, if the interior will be tables with transparent tops and cabinets with glass doors they passed through a light and visually expand the space. Upholstered furniture and cabinets is better to choose on the legs: they seem to be lighter and slimmer.
As for the furniture style is country, Empire, Rococo, Baroque and other heavy direction only suitable for large-area homes. In small rooms more rational focus on classical or hi-tech style.
Many put the furniture along the walls, thinking that it will be more free space. It is not always justified.
For example, if the house is often going to visit, the best sofas and chairs placed around the table in the center of the room. The main thing - do not block the door, and leave free passages.
use decorations
"We often decorate the interior according to the principle of redundancy," - says a French writer, professor of philosophy Muriel Barbery (Muriel Barbery). It's true.
To house was spacious and bright, the decor, too, should be followed minimalism. Do not force open cupboards and shelves with vases and statuettes. In the first place, tired to wipe the dust, and secondly, the abundance of objects creates a crowding effect.
Discard the columns and stucco. Better to hang more mirrors. They reflect the light, filling them to the room and visually by increasing it. Good looking big rectangular mirror. If you hang a mirror on the horizontal space expand, if Vertical - will be extended.
The plane seems more if the center is a bright object, and the edges still a lot of space.
Use this rule when placing paintings and photographs on the walls. Panels made of many small pictures, as well as the big picture in a solid frame, not the best solution for space-deficient space.
If you want to decorate a wall, stop your choice on a modular pattern of medium size with a glossy finish and the prospect of the frame. Alternatively, you can use the wallpapers with the road receding into the distance, or the sunset over the sea.
Even close dark room can be transformed into a magnificent palace, full of warmth and light. To do this, get rid of unnecessary things and furniture, make cosmetic repairs and put the window with good light transmission - Kaleva Deco with VISIOGLASS option.
