Volumetric chandelier
A large designer chandelier is, without a doubt,a bright and colorful piece of furniture that will leave few people indifferent. The chandelier attracts a lot of attention, sets the tone and mood of the entire room, giving it a certain chic and aristocracy. However, you will not feel any of this if you hang such beauty in a small room. The room will seem even smaller, more cramped, and the chandelier will "eat up" the space. It is better to use complex lighting compositions around the entire perimeter of the room, this will expand the room and correct its shape.Photo: Getty Images
Large drawings
Use wallpaper with a large pattern in small onesapartments is not recommended. And all because such walls once again draw attention to the not very advantageous size of the room. For small spaces, plain wallpaper or wallpaper with a small, not very contrasting pattern is best. Warm tones visually bring objects closer, and cold ones, on the contrary, move them away, so the use of light, cold shades is ideal.
