The prices of flats, which are still at a high level, cause that not everyone can afford flats of considerable size. It is worth considering how to arrange our accommodation to make it look bigger. Is it possible to make such a metamorphosis on your own, or should you use a specialist – an architect and interior designer?
It is worth considering what steps to take if our flat is too small and we do not feel comfortable in it, and the prospect of converting a flat into a bigger one is an unspecified plan in the distant future? There are several ways to do this for optical zooming.

Each of us has probably come across such an operation. The simplest decision in this respect is to commission the work of an interior architect who has the principle of functional arrangement in one finger, the other option is to use our advice.

Colors and patterns – which ones to use and which to eliminate

The first association is of course bright colors. Although you should not narrow your choice to only one color, let alone white. An interesting solution are intense and contrasting colors. However, additional colors must be used in moderation, for example only on one wall.

A nice solution is also to use different shades of one color – it is a much safer option. However, if we reveal our ability to combine colors, it is worth rethinking the option of using the help of an interior architect. In particular, when we want a strong color accent in the form of patterns. Certainly, experience is indispensable in this matter because it is not difficult to overdo it. Interior architects encourage the use of a reverse color palette – that is, repainting the walls to a neutral color, which will be the background for dark frames of doors or window frames.

Optical space – mirrors and wall murals

It may seem deceptive that the choice of mirrors is an easy task. But here too it is not difficult to make a mistake. The best option is to use large rectangular mirrors, without frames. On the other hand, in the case of mirrors with a border, you should keep moderate and decide on those that have light colors and delicate decorations.

Another effect of enlarging our apartment may result in the use of shiny additives, for example in the form of glazed or varnished furniture fronts. The photo wallpapers are still a unique idea. But similarly, as with patterns, you need to be careful, because it’s easy to achieve a reverse, exaggerated effect.

Certainly, it is worth to put on spatial wallpapers that represent landscapes rather than geometric patterns.

It is worth remembering, however, that owners of modest apartments can enjoy an optically increased space, but without thorough knowledge of various tricks, you can achieve an optical fiasco – that’s why it’s worth delving into the topic in a thorough way and if we think that the task is too big, then it will be a good idea using the advice of a good interior architect.
