1. Colors to enhance the space it is recommended to use light, pastel colors, without using country shades, undiluted.
It would be best to use colors such as white, beige, pale pink, straw yellow. For example, all the walls and ceiling painted white give an overall enlarged look to the room. While keeping the ceiling white, but painting the walls in one color, you will give the feeling that the space is taller than in reality. You will get a similar effect, but horizontally, if you paint only the lower half of the walls around the room. If you only want to achieve a room-lengthening effect, you can paint the wall opposite the entrance to the room, along with the ceiling, and thus create the illusion of a longer room. Only from the way you paint your walls can you create countless illusions about the perception of space.
2. Textures and ornaments It is preferable to reduce the use of textures in small spaces, both on the walls and on the floor (if we are talking about marble tiles).
The texture and ornaments can draw attention to them, and the perception of space is lost. If you opt for a wallpaper for example, keep in mind that a vertical texture will create the feeling of height, while a horizontal one will widen or lengthen the room.
3. Furniture used to arrange small apartments Scandinavian style is the right choice when it comes to a small apartment.
It is recommended to arrange using furniture in a minimalist, utilitarian style, with as few decorative elements as possible. If you don't like Scandinavian white, you can opt for an industrial or retro style, but using simple elements without too many details. Decorate the apartment with minimalist-style furniture with a few decorative elements.
4. Decorative objects For decorations we would limit ourselves to say big: if you want a poster or a painting on the wall, they do not have to be large.
Or maybe even a mirror. Using mirrors, where appropriate, you can't go wrong and you will definitely get the illusion of enlarging the space. Carpets should also be as large as possible, covering a large part of the room. And if you are a fan of curtains and drapes, as I said in the ornaments on the walls, it is recommended to start as high as possible, on the entire height of the wall.
5. Lighting and established techniques It would be preferable for the apartment to have large windows, which will flood the space with natural light.
If the space does not have enough natural light, arrange it so that you have as many light sources as possible. preferably cold. Here, too, there are a multitude of techniques, such as "wall washing", the light from the ceiling that falls on the side walls at a wide angle, illuminating them evenly from top to bottom, and the light diffused by the wall will create the illusion of space.
Light plays a very important role considering that over 80% of perception sensors are visual. Also, if you want ornaments on the top edge of the walls, it is recommended that they be fixed on the line between the ceiling and the wall and thus you will get a height effect again.
