You can manage on your own. And will help you a few simple lessons of decoration. They will tell you how to give your house a unique charm.
Reflection
To make the room lighter, use mirrors. For example, place the mirror on a wall that is perpendicular to the window. Do not place the mirror on the wall parallel to the window. This narrows the space and the light falling from the window does not make the room lighter.
Hide the wires
The eternal problem of old houses is miserable and unsightly sockets and wires. They are able to spoil any interior. To fix this small flaw, color the wires and sockets in the tone of the wallpaper or walls. Of course, you can just buy new sockets and replace them. But repainting will be cheaper. Try to buy devices with transparent or fabric wires. They are less obvious and do not spoil the overall picture.
Harmony of color
If you want your house to look like a harmonious unity, try to combine the rooms with the play of light. It's simple. For example, if in your hallway the wallpaper is turquoise, then in the living room there must be objects of this color. It can be a cushion or a floor lamp. Use this approach throughout the house. And then it will look like a single whole.
Furniture and pillows
Often incorrectly selected and arranged furniture spoils the general appearance of the room. To prevent this from happening, remember a simple rule: "There must be balance in everything." If you have a lot of furniture with long legs in your room, add a pair of squat chairs, a small table or a couple of footrests for the sofa. To make the furniture more extravagant, add a few pillows of unusual shapes with bright prints. They will look harmonious, if their color will be present in at least three things in the room. It can be curtains, vases, lamps, carpets or wallpaper. If you want a beautiful apartment, forget about brown furniture. They burdens the space, look cumbersome.
Room size
Many owners of small apartments do not know how to visually expand the space. This can be done with a large carpet. Important: buy a carpet that is slightly smaller than your room (even from the edge of the carpet to the walls on all sides remains 30 cm). All furniture should be put on the carpet, it should not be moved to the walls. This simple technique allows you to expand the space.
Interior and art
If you want to give charm and sophistication to your apartment, be sure to acquire several pieces of art. It can be paintings, figurines, small sculptures. Placing such objects, remember the simple rule: the more furniture in the room, the more pictures you can hang on the walls. In a room where there is almost no furniture, there should be very few of them.
