(Dan Tri) - Using light colors for walls and floors and removing unnecessary dividing walls will help the space of the house become more spacious and airy.
With the increasing speed of urbanization, living space in big cities is increasingly narrowing. For example, a 2-bedroom apartment is advertised as over 70m2 but the actual usable area is only about 66m2. To make living space in big cities more spacious and airy, interior architects suggest 6 effective interior decoration tips.
Use light colored paint
Painting the walls in light colors will help reflect light better, creating a feeling of more spacious space. Light colors do not necessarily mean white, but you can choose other light tones such as light gray, light blue, light yellow or beige. White is the best choice, but this color can easily create a feeling of boredom.
Flooring color and style
Flooring color and style play a huge role in how the eye perceives space. Choose light-colored floors instead of dark colors like brown, black, or dark gray. Dark colors make a space or object appear smaller.
In addition, laying the floor in each room in a different color will create a sense of discontinuity in the space. If you want the space to look more spacious, lay the floor uniformly, creating a sense of continuity and spaciousness. You should avoid laying floors with too many elaborate patterns or floors with border patterns around them. The general rule when laying floors is to create a feeling of no borders, seamless.

Remove partition wall
If your apartment has any partition walls that can be removed or expanded, then boldly remove them. You should remove the wall between the kitchen and the living room to create a more open and spacious space. This also helps family members increase interaction.
Unless the house is large, the villa or townhouse has enough space, you should close the kitchen area. However, with a space like a small apartment, separating the kitchen has little effect on preventing odors and will make the space more cramped.
Choose curtains carefully
Choosing the type of curtain is very important, making the living space become larger or smaller. Small spaces should prioritize choosing roller blinds, louvered blinds or honeycomb blinds to save space instead of bulky 2-layer fabric curtains. If you still like to choose fabric curtains, you should choose fabric curtains that match the wall color, thin and light material, avoid curtains with elaborate patterns or many colors.

Choose slim furniture
Instead of choosing a large sofa without legs, you should choose a sofa with thin, raised legs, creating an airy feeling. Similarly, chairs with legs also create a more spacious feeling.
For the tea table, you should choose transparent glass material. Decorative lamps, pendant lights, and decorations should also be slim. Slender furniture with legs allows light to pass through, creating an airy feeling.

Decorations that enlarge the space
Using large mirrors in a suitable position has the effect of doubling the space. However, you need to be careful to avoid reflecting too many details, causing a sense of clutter. Mirrors should be placed in a position that reflects open corners with few details.
Another tip is to hang a large painting. A large painting will trick your brain into thinking it is a window that opens up to a large natural space. You should choose a large painting but a small, simple frame.
The interior layout of a small apartment needs to have main and secondary points. Avoid placing scattered furniture without a focal point, which will create a messy feeling.
