First you need to clarify that in the apartmentthere should be a minimum of furniture. After all, even the largest room will look like an antique shop (not in the best of times), if it is filled with furniture. Therefore, carefully inspect your home and get rid of all unnecessary. For a comfortable life, it is enough to leave only the basic set: a sofa, shelves (or shelves) for books, a comfortable chair (if the apartment's area allows), a coffee table and a large spacious wardrobe. Arrange the furniture in such a way that you can comfortably move around the room, without bumping into sharp corners every time. Get rid of old newspapers and magazines. In the modern age of technology, all articles can be found on the Internet. So why keep the waste paper, which litters the space and is another place of dust accumulation?

Therefore, choose models with drawers and put away all unnecessary things there. This also applies to the TV remote control. If, say, you have several of them, then store them in one of the drawers of the coffee table or in a closing basket. This way you will always know where they are and will not waste time looking for them.Designers recommend choosing an odd number of pillows for sofas (three harmonious pillows for a small sofa and five pillows, two of which should be plain, for a large sofa).Remember that several rugs visually reduce the space. Therefore, for a small room, choose either one spectacular carpet or plain laminate.As for small open shelves, keep no more than three items on them (for example, vases in the same color scheme, differing only in shape). If you store books on your shelves, then follow another golden rule - 10% of the shelf should be left free. It is also important to maintain order in the kitchen. For example, frying pans and saucepans quickly fill up the cabinets, and it is not always convenient to take them out. Therefore, place them above the stove on a railing or hang them on beautiful hooks. Also use the space under the kitchen plinth to put trays and baking sheets there. Do not accumulate excess plastic. Leave only a few containers for food of different sizes, put the rest away so that it does not get in the way. To get rid of a large number of shampoos and gels that no longer fit on the sides of the bathtub, buy a special hanging dispenser. This will help save space and give the bathroom a tidier look. It is better to place detergents in transparent boxes and put them under the sink. This way they will not get in the way under your feet, and it will be much more convenient to get the necessary product.
