20 ways to increase living room space

The majority of us faced once a problem of residing in small apartment. As soon as delights concerning acquisition of new habitation calm down, we start to join in a situation and, quite often we find out that our "mansion" is rather small. That is, for a dream, personal hygiene and cooking it is quite enough place, but here the living room could be and more …

Do not despair, take advantage of the offered councils about increase in space of a living room, more truly, more rational its uses. Probably, to you will seem that you became owners of new apartment.

Planning - half of success!!!

1. Before you will overeat in new apartment, carefully think over, as you place furniture. We recommend to you to represent in small scale the premise plan, and from a cardboard to cut out "breadboard models" of furniture with which you plan to fill space. Always easier in the beginning on a paper to be defined with an arrangement of subjects, and then already to move furniture. Not last role plays this situation and that your purse will not become scanty from superfluous expenditure.

2. Reflect, as it is possible to open a premise as much as possible. If the drawing room is located in the neighbourhood with kitchen - unite both spaces, having cleaned between them a partition (it is final if it is not interfered by the constructive scheme of a building). As the optical border dividing both premises, there can be a rack which will not disturb to perception of all space, as a single whole.

4. Unite the general colour score of a wall and a drawing room and kitchen ceiling. Thus, there is no necessity all to paint in one colour - there will be distinctions in shades, on the basis of the general tone enough.

Essentially absorb space opening doors, therefore it is better to replace them with the sliding. There, where it is possible, change continuous "deaf" filling of door cloths for the glass.

Than to equip

20 ways to increase space living room Most likely, sofa placing becomes the most difficult point of the program. It is necessary to concern this action with especial attention. Forget about the complete set with two armchairs. Pillows and upholstery stoolcan carry out the same function. If the sizes of a premise allow, choose three - instead of a double sofa, it is desirable, with internal space for bed-clothes.

6. Despite deficiency of space, a sofa all the same it is necessary to place somehow. Put it so that remained small, 60 штсрa backlash between it and a wall: first the folding table can be stored in this space, etc., and secondly, it оптически will increase depth of a drawing room.

7. Small space not likeheavy furniture. Multifunctionality of conditions should become the main criterion of your choice. The furniture on castors which can be moved without effort, according to your desires is rather practical.

8. Having left empty space before a sofa, you, thereby, visually will expand a premise. Thus, you are not offered to lose a coffee table, it will be necessary. Is better, to put two small tables along the edges of a sofa, that in case of arrival of visitors, you can shift and use them for light meal laying.

9. The little table role before a sofa can be assigned and to a stool if it is steady enough and executed from this a material.

10. At a choice of furniture for a small premise it is necessary to prefer simple lines and configurations since the superfluous decor makes impression premises.

11. Do not experiment a traditional case-wall. Even if it «will get to you for nothing». Remember that once having squeezed it in a drawing room, you hardly will get rid of it. Buy open shelves which you can hang out on different walls is better. On them it is possible to store the same volume of things, but thus, you keep impression of ease, so necessary for small space.

12. Unconditional favourites among accessories and additions for registration of small space, are glass and metal products, varnish surfaces and plastic.

Choosing conditions for a drawing room, pay attention, first of all, to furniture with these inclusions. Glass and plastic, graceful metal designs make impression that the furniture takes much less a place.

13. Even if you do not have children, to you all the same the table for which can sit down some persons, sooner or later, is required. Where it to attach? It can quite be a folding little table. For it it is enough to allocate free учаток walls and to use as required. All rest of the time it will not occupy space. "Play" with its colour and a configuration - from it it is possible to place effective decorative emphasis in a drawing room.

14. To a table chairs will be necessary for you. Is most practical to buy the collapsible.

15. Judges of a qualitative sound and the image can to advise get the plasma screen which you can hang up on a wall and, thereby, save precious centimetres.

16. In a small premise with open furniture especially important maintenance of an order, all should be on the place. The scattered magazines and books do not make impression of a freedom, more likely on the contrary, break harmony.

Game with colour and light

18. Those who are not afraid to experiment, can choose pastel tone. An ideal variant, as primary colour, will be blue. It makes impression of lightness and depth though it is final, it concerns cold paints. Use of its shades can be the successful decision. Be not afraid also of warm colours: with success it is possible to apply lemon, peach and many other colours.

19. Curtains, curtains (and jalousie) should correspond to the general concept of a drawing room and make impression of ease. The more you let in the sun the house, the better. Therefore, avoid dark tones in a frame of windows, prefer greenish shades.

20. Too most concerns also carpets - carpets will be the most suitable monophonic or with unostentatious drawing. Never will damage use in registration of an interior of a small premise of the vertical lines extended acsesoriec and hanging down plants..
