When it comes to interior designapartments, each of us imagines our home differently. For someone, the sophistication and richness of the furnishings come first, but in reality, is it so important? Wouldn't it be better to create such conditions in the apartment that you and your loved ones would feel cozy and warm? And so that this place could really be called a home - a home with a capital letter. Undoubtedly, both coziness and comfort directly depend on how competently your apartment is planned and furnished, especially if its size is small. And the psychological aspect plays an important role here. Colors, texture of materials, shapes - all this greatly affects a person, can give him both positive and negative emotions. Therefore, when planning to create an interior design for an apartment with your own hands, you need to approach this issue with all seriousness and care.
Coloring in the interior
Don't chase fashionable shades and popular onesdesign solutions. Try to keep each room in certain tones. Whether it is the color of a sea wave, rich red or soft beige, everything should be in moderation. The bedroom, as you know, should be decorated in soft tones, but for the living room you can choose a brighter and more saturated color. But here too there are nuances. When choosing colors and furniture for decorating a particular room, you need to rely not only on your desire, but also on the size of the room. If the size of the rooms allows, you can choose almost any shades, as long as you like them. But what to do when the size of the room leaves much to be desired? There are certain points that need to be taken into account.
If the living room is small ...
Despite all doubts, even a small roomcan be made as comfortable as possible, and also achieve a visual expansion of the room's boundaries. And it is not as difficult to do as many people assume. You need to start with the color scheme. No bright contrasts, only calm tones. Cream, blue, light green, pink, white - these are your colors. Light furniture is not so practical, but with it your living room will look spacious and filled with air. All unnecessary objects and bulky accessories should be removed. After all, if you think about it, they do not decorate the room at all, but create only inconveniences. To achieve a visual increase in space, it is best to use small-sized furniture. Small armchairs, a small sofa and a coffee table placed along the walls of the room will create the impression of a voluminous space. And to achieve an even stronger effect, you can use wall mirrors or mirrored furniture decor. Decorate the ceiling and floor in the same color scheme as the walls. This will make the room seem more spacious. It is not advisable to use heavy curtains or drapes. To allow more light into your home, Roman blinds are a great option.
We equip the office
What thoughts come to your mind when you hear the wordstudy? Surely, everyone imagines a large room with a massive table and many bookshelves. Nowadays, many people prefer to work at home for one reason or another, and for a child who goes to school, a workplace is simply necessary. So, it is quite possible to create a home study on three square meters, and it will be no less functional than an office space. Do-it-yourself interior design implies not only beauty, but also convenience. For a home study, this fact plays a special role. You can arrange such a corner anywhere, depending on its purpose. If you only need a computer, then a very small table is enough. Choose a free corner in the room where the TV will not interfere with you and where children practically do not look. The main thing here is to take care of the right lighting and choose a comfortable chair. You should be comfortable at any time of the day. If your child needs his own corner to do homework, and there is a catastrophic lack of space, do not despair - the problem can be solved with the help of a window sill. By expanding it, you create a full-fledged table, and the niche underneath is perfect for storing books and office supplies. Open shelves can be mounted on the sides of the window - here you have additional space for books, documents and other things needed for work.
The hallway ... It's not small, just compact
Many residents of old city apartmentslayouts are familiar with the problem of a cramped hallway. And the main thing here is not even the lack of space, but the lack of natural light, which can make this room visually larger. Therefore, when choosing lighting for the hallway, opt for a fluorescent lamp. The color scheme of the walls and ceiling should be pastel tones. As in the case of the living room, this will help make the room more voluminous and larger. When planning to create an interior design for your home with your own hands, or more precisely, the interior of the hallway, think about the arrangement of furniture in advance. What do we need in this room? Of course, a wardrobe for outerwear, a bedside table for shoes, a mirror and a small chest of drawers for gloves, umbrellas and other small items that are needed almost every day. So where to put all this, while saving space for movement? For a small hallway, it is best to choose a narrow but deep closet. And if possible, a built-in one is better. It takes up less space and holds much more things. But it practically does not steal space. By the way, having a built-in wardrobe, you can refuse both a shoe rack and a chest of drawers, since it has enough space for all things. Order a wardrobe with a mirror on the front side. It can visually increase the space, and the problem of placing this necessary item in the hallway will already be solved. By the way, many solve this problem by placing a mirror on the front door. A very good option for a very miniature hallway. As you can see, even small rooms in city apartments can be made comfortable. The main thing is to think not about how to place more things and mercilessly clutter up the space of an already cramped home, but about how to use this space better and more correctly.
