To decorate small spaces, you should stick to light colors in wall decoration and make maximum use of natural light, trying not to block the light, but rather to release it or increase its distribution. Bergenson Bjorn interior designer Elena Maksimova told socialbites.ca about this and other ways to visually expand the space.
“Use light tones and shiny surfaces. For example, you can place a large, light, shiny or mirrored object near the window: an armchair, a table or the mirror itself. Thanks to reflections and light reflexes, the room will appear brighter and larger,” said Maksimova.
He also recommended choosing lamps with simple shapes.
“I also recommend using lamps that are light in shape and texture (glass, metal, simple linear shapes, fabric, allowing maximum light transmission). If possible, you can highlight the perimeter of the room with soft lighting; this will visually raise the ceiling,” he advised.
It is equally important to provide various lighting sources during renovation in small apartments.
“It is important to carefully consider lighting scenarios and avoid the option of a huge chandelier in the center. It can be replaced with several small built-in or surface-mounted lamps, evenly distributed. In this way, it is possible to organize the main uniform light in the rooms without problems with contrasting shades and compositional placement of massive central lamps. At the same time, we save on the height of the room and visually add more space to the room,” noted Elena Maksimova.
According to the expert, it is also necessary to combine various functions in small apartments.
“The functional diversity of zones in small spaces often requires a large number of lamps for different tasks. The modern range offers a choice of multifunctional lamps that can solve several problems at once. These include rotary lamps, dimmable lamps and even fan lamps. The combination of various functions and a more convenient design will not only allow the room to remain clutter-free, but will also intelligently organize the lighting of all daily processes, making even a small space comfortable for living,” concluded the designer.
