The narrow room leaves not only few options of arrangement of furniture, but also causes emotional discomfort and feeling of sdavlennost. And if really to move wall there is no opportunity, it is necessary only to deceive eye and to try to expand space visually.
The narrow long room can nonplus the owners both at arrangement of furniture, and when choosing color scheme of space. Everything, as a rule, is aggravated with the fact that two short opposite walls are most often initially occupied – on one in all width there is window and balcony, on another - door. And all options of arrangement of furniture turn around two long, sad walls. In rare instances all furniture focuses on one side of the room that too does not bring beauty and harmony in interior.
Therefore, resolving issue of visual expansion of space of the narrow room, it is necessary to lean on several main positions: enough light and its direction, right choice of color scheme and clever arrangement of furniture. For this purpose it is necessary to have a little taste and ability to think creatively.
Lighting of the narrow room
It is known that light gives feeling of space and freedom. Therefore first of all let in a lot of light the room. The central chandelier even with very powerful light in case with the narrow long room will not save you. Therefore sources of lighting it is necessary to establish a little. It is the best of all to choose pointed lighting. Important not only amount of light, but also its direction. It is the best of all that luminous fluxes went from the middle of the room to long walls. It will visually expand narrow space. And here you should not do lighting on perimeter – it will only emphasize long geometry of the room.
Color scheme
Correctly picked up color of finishing of walls and ceiling will help to broaden the narrow room visually too. For long walls it is the best of all to choose light shade of painting or wall-paper, and for short walls – more dark color. The horizontal strip or wall-paper with the bright large drawing on face wall will give visual expansion too. The vertical strip or the small drawing of wall-paper on long wall will a little reduce its extent. The dark ceiling will help to create feeling of high space, and here dark floor even more will narrow the room. Therefore for sexual covering it is the best of all to select light finishing. It is also important to lay correctly parquet or laminate – across the room. Such option will not emphasize in addition the excessive length of space.
Arrangement of furniture
Traditionally furniture in the narrow room is placed on perimeter that only emphasizes the excessive length and narrowness of the room. If there is opportunity, it is worth trying to put part of objects, for example, sofa and low rack, perpendicular to or on diagonal to long walls. Thereby you will create separate zones in the room and will emphasize its width. Racks in face with underlined horizontal lines will give to the room more square look too. Mirrors and photowall-paper on long walls will create illusion of space and will improve room geometry.
