In our head it does not fit that it is possible to live with comfort in 20 meter apartments and use the minimum of things. After all, in fact, with a modern mad rhythm, we do not need more.
The most interesting thing is that, even if we are in a happy coat of circumstances we have an incredible apartment, we do not use up to 50% of its space. Just because we do not need it.
1. Get rid of extra walls
First, the absence of another wall physically adds space. In the case of a small apartment, one spacious space is better than the rag of the walls. Moreover, after redevelopment, more opportunities will appear for zoning.
This is an apartment in Hong Kong. Locals are famous for their ability to live in the most incredible conditions, on the squares of 10 square meters (sometimes in the following). In this case, the small area forced the owners to suffer with repair, but the result was worth: the home theater was fitted in the odushka, a house for three cats, a bedroom, a bath with a toilet and a huge kitchen.
2. Zonail!
This is a claimed reception in small apartments - it allows you to make space functional and comfortable. Conditional zones can be designated with furniture. Instead of the wall, a bar counter is used to share areas of kitchen and residential premises; Sometimes designers choose narrow racks, and sometimes even arched overlaps. But the latter should not be massive, otherwise the visually space will become less.Small apartments are also zonied with the help of interior items - lamps, paintings, textiles. You can use the correct lighting, expand the space due to the contrast of wallpaper and floor materials.
You should not apply several types of decor at once. For example, if the rate is made on textiles, play on the contrast of color and materials. Using decorative statuettes, vases, dishes, etc., remember that it is advantageous to beat only one object of the interior, which will task the tone.
"Saved" place for cooking.
Before starting to make repairs, make a plan of living space, taking into account the existing furniture. At this stage, the most important mistake is the desire to shove into a new apartment as much as possible. Of course, you can drag a bakery and exercise bike with you, but think about it: you have been buying bread for a long time in the store (there it is fresh and get to you without a headache), and on the exercise bike you will have the underwear for half a year.
Sometimes the bath can be replaced with the shower and do not spoil your life at all.
3. Monolithic floor
The case is when it is not worth showing the wild strength of your own fantasy. Let the apartment in the entire area lies a monotonous single-color (or the same type) floor. First, the single floor covering is easier to wash, secondly, the visual separation and the space becomes more from the apartment.4. Colors - only bright
Dark and bright shades are good to create some accents. The main color of the walls and the color of the furniture should always remain light. So the square will seem spacious. Another excellent way to increase the space in the apartment is to use mirrors.

If not white, then ...
To ensure a relaxing effect, it is better to choose brown, cream, green or blue shades.
Yellow shades are positively acting on the nervous system, strengthening it and bringing joy to households.

Pink color soothes the human body, but sometimes it causes anxiety and aggression.

And to pink cafél - green plaster! It is not surprising that the designer psychulin and left only white color. It is not enough that it looks stylish, it also visually expands the space.
