Bright Ideas for Small Spaces
Some tips are needed to create space wisely, especially when it is restricted. Do not give up in front of the rooms where it seems almost impossible to get a size effect. On the lookout for technologies and trends in the field of interior design, a subject matter expert will suggest a few tricks that will make all the difference.
The role of light in interior designing
"Understanding how light interacts in a space is the basic rule that guides all our actions. You should know that white reflects light and the black absorbs it. On this basis, we prefer light colors that, in addition to increasing the brightness in the room will appear to repel borders that are the walls, "
Eliminate borders
In a room where space is limited, we will try to create some consistency in the choice of colors, but also materials. "For example, always with a view to eliminate the borders, if we design a small bathroom, we will choose to paint the walls and ceiling using the same light color. Install the identical ceramic on the floor and walls, respecting the same configuration for the entire room, will help expand the space. To create a cozy atmosphere, you can choose a dark color to apply to the ceiling. "
The puzzle pieces of open space
If your headache goes to the kitchen and the living room, there is no point to undertake costly work to push the walls. "In the case of a kitchen and an open living room, it's best to find one flooring throughout the room. As the walls, they will be painted in a main color and the same variation in accent colors. In the kitchen, for an impression of height and airy space, choose a light color and a glossy finish for the upper cabinets. Which will reflect more light.
Large windows = more light and more space
The space constraint would probably be less present if the windows gave the impression of being larger. Again, the interior designer Lucie Lapointe said a few practical tips. "This is completely covering the wall on which is the window with a light-colored curtain. You can also position a mirror on the wall opposite a window for the light to spread throughout the room. By placing a large mirror from the ground, the result is amazing. I suggest people to do it wholeheartedly. "
Furnish the space to better release
If space seems too long, you can create a division with an open library. "In addition to providing the storage, you can add a few decorative items, taking care not to overload the shelves. The visual clutter should be avoided. If the budget allows, install a radiant floor will clear the space along the walls, in addition to removing baseboard and Convectors. The round tables, light-colored furniture, freestanding or simply transparent, will contribute to the impression of lightness and space. If the room is suitable, sliding or folding doors good for a small space. "
