In an ordinary room there are four walls, a ceiling on top, and a floor below – a stereotype, based on which the brain visually evaluates the size of the room. The visual ambiguity of the boundaries is given, for example, by the same matt color of the walls and ceiling.

Another technique for blurring boundaries is “the flow of the interior through various openings into neighboring rooms or the transition of finishing materials to neighboring rooms to create the illusion of a single volume,” adds architect-designer Georgy Morozov.
“I made windows on internal partitions – this increases the space. And when not needed, the sash can be closed, ”says designer Andrei Pitin.

“If possible, do not zone a small room with different floors, – advises designer Christina Kovaleva. – This will create the effect of a single space without boundaries that are mentally erected. In this sense, zoning with ceilings and furniture is more interesting and expedient. “

In small spaces, it is not scattered cabinets that look better, but hidden built-in storage systems with smooth facades.
“The fewer free-standing wardrobes, shelves, dressers – the cleaner and more spacious the interior looks. If you want to visually expand the space – create one large storage system behind monochromatic matte facades with a push-to-open system. Remove dust-collecting structures: hanging cabinets, shelves, dressers along the walls – all this conceals space, – advises the designer Natalia Maksimenko. “

“For small rooms, I select furniture in the same way as for large ones, make several groups of light, focusing on the center of the room. If, for example, in a small living room there is a coffee table, a pendant lamp, floor lamps, somehow it would never even occur to you to call such a small room, says the architect Nina Lopatina. – The trick is that objects do not interfere with movement around the room. And the curtains in such living rooms I always make light, light, and not “from wall to wall”, but according to the size of the window ”.

“The key to success is the absence of unnecessary furniture and things. Even a large room can be made so that it seems small – even with a mirrored wall, even with white walls, ”says designer and decorator Natalia Preobrazhenskaya. On the contrary, the fewer objects, the more airy the room appears. Give preference to multifunctional items. “

If you live in a private house, the architect Igor Obruchnikov advises to reveal the interior to nature: “A small room will seem larger if it is adjoined by a garden, especially your own. Moreover, no one will interfere with building the area you need in a private household ”.

Designer Corina Balanovskaya: “Oddly enough, a small apartment psychologically seems larger if it is divided into many rooms. You walk, like in a castle, from room to room, and everywhere you have your own life, your own atmosphere. And vice versa: if it is a studio apartment or a kitchen-living room, then the space is always perceived less, but it is more convenient to use it.

Designer Yuri Zubenko advises using more light sources: “Increase the number of lighting devices: their “round dance” will force the eye to read more information, and the brain will think that there is enough space in the room in which they are located“…

“Correctly positioned mirrors can actually visually increase the space and luminous flux (the amount of light, if simpler). Our favorite mirror trick is a vertical mirror strip from floor to ceiling, located in the corner of the room at the junction of two walls, – the experts of the GLASSGOOD company share. – The mirror must be slightly sunk into the wall (about 1.5-2 cm). The width of the mirror is very important here: it should not be a wide mirror, but a strip with good proportions. It is not necessary to use the rule of the golden ratio, it is enough to observe the multiplicity. “

The standard door height is 210 cm .. but many manufacturers have 230 cm serial models in their collections. And above you can order for an individual project – take advantage of this.
“The use of high doors visually increases the height of the ceiling, the room seems to be larger than its actual size,” notes designer Vera Otkidach.
