Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI on issues of interior design and interior design, will tell you which design solutions you should avoid.

Mistakes in decorating a small apartment

The first style that should be abandoned is country. When creating it, the authors were inspired by rural life, simple and rough forms, including a large number of large-sized decor.

If you love such motifs, it is recommended to pay attention to the Scandinavian style, which is also distinguished by an abundance of natural materials, but at the same time is distinguished by greater laconicism.

It is also worth giving up shabby chic, the distinctive feature of which is the abundance of poufs, tables, pillows and other various decor, which will make your eyes water in a limited space.

Despite the simplicity and strictness of lines, high-tech is also appropriate only in spacious rooms, since it implies high ceilings. Instead, it is better to turn to minimalism, which, on the contrary, helps to expand the space.
