Does your living room look busy? Here are some ideas for knocking down the walls of your apartment without breaking everything.
Not everyone is lucky enough to live in a villa with a garden. So, to at least give the illusion that we do not live in a pocket square, all means are good. And some are even particularly effective… Anthology.
Opt for a glass coffee table
Yes, I know, wooden tables have their charm. But the reality is such that, very often, these objects of character weigh down the room. So, when you have a small space, a simple tip is to opt for a glass table, airy because it is transparent, which does not give the impression of filling the space, but on the contrary of floating in the air.

Paint your walls white
This advice is as old as the world: white walls enlarge the space and reflect the light. If you don’t like white, other light colors are for you, starting with ecru and dove grey, which play with light.

Choose freestanding furniture
In the same way as a glass table that floats above the floor, freestanding furniture is a good way to brighten your room. The more we see the floor, the more we have the optical illusion that the living room is spacious. It is therefore better to avoid sofas that touch the ground.

Put up mirrors
Mirrors give depth, reflect sunlight and therefore make the room larger and brighter. Ideally, they are hung in corners where natural light does not reach.

Draw your eye to the top of the room
When we want to give more volume to a small space, we often try to cheat on the depth of the room. Here mirrors or the color of the walls come into play (which I told you about above, are you following me?). However, we must not neglect the potential represented by the height of the ceiling, on which we can also cheat. Simply draw attention to the top of the room, for example by hanging plants from the ceiling or hanging wall shelves very high. Let’s look up, then breathe!
Use Swiss army knife furniture
In addition to the tips that guide the eye, some practical reflections also allow you to limit overload and optimize space. From this perspective, multifunctional furniture is our allies. Does your bench also serve as a storage unit? Bank!

Give pride of place to natural light
This almost seems obvious, BUT a bright room is one that feels most open. We therefore avoid, as far as possible, obstructing the entry points of this light due to a sofa or a poorly positioned plant.
