Review your wardrobe and remove things that have fallen into disrepair or have simply ceased to give you pleasure. Be sure to wash the windows. This will help to let in the sunshine, and you will see how lighter and more positive it will become around. Change the color of the walls and curtains. Surprisingly, light walls (ideally white) can transform the space beyond recognition. A creamy or beige shade will make the room warmer and help you to tune in the desired fashion. But do not forget the bright accents. For example, you can paint the door trim in red or orange. It will invigorate and make the interior dynamic. As for the curtains, it is necessary to fully open the curtains to let in more daylight. If the idea of completely abandoning curtains and exposing a window is not about you, then get translucent curtains that also let in light and allow you to get rid of curious views. Get rid of the old wall (furniture). Dark bulky cabinets make any room gloomy, and even in small apartments (studios) in general look ridiculous. Therefore, they can be replaced by lighter models, made of light wood - this is fashionable, and fills the lack of light.

But metal structures and shiny accessories (anything that reflects light) can not only transform the interior, but also add a little shine and sparkle, which will be very useful in cold weather. 5. Don't forget about bright accessories and textiles. To avoid making your apartment look like an office, it is better to dilute light walls, furniture and shiny surfaces with bright accents. Paintings, vases, textiles, pillows and other decorative elements made in red, orange or green shades will be an excellent color scheme, will dilute a monochromatic interior and relieve depression. 6. More indoor plants. Green indoor plants will help transform any interior. Especially in winter, when there is no greenery around and none is expected, indoor plants will add colors and positivity. But remember that green pets need to be properly cared for. And if you suddenly decide to have orchids, poinsettias, cyclamens or azaleas, then read in advance how to properly water and feed these capricious flowers. But in the end, your efforts will pay off, and you will have a real blooming garden at home.
