Any, even the most standard apartment can be radically transformed with a non-trivial approach to its design. But, trying to find some special combinations of colors and shapes, creating new and unusual elements of the interior from usual and simple details, we often forget about the simplest rules of interior design, which should not be violated.
Organization of space in small rooms
You can zoned the room not only with small elevations or podiums, the use of multi-level suspended ceilings, etc. Color zoning is one of the simplest ways of delineating space in small, small apartments.
Try not to overload such spaces with cumbersome and heavy furniture and be moderate when choosing additional parts.

Draw several schemes for its placement of furniture - so you can more accurately determine which option will be not only the most original, but also the most practical.
Professional designers often use several basic lighting schemes:
- is common - with the widest light flux,
- working - for special types of work,
- directional - for highlighting special interior elements( paintings, fireplaces, panels, etc.).

Choosing the forms
When we get carried away, we sometimes forget about the structural lines set by the architecture of the building itself and furniture. Let their contours become the basis, and not a hindrance when creating the desired image.

Colors
Colors can significantly influence not only the mood, but also the perception of the shape and size of the room and even its temperature.
Warm and saturated colors not only "warm", but also "compress" the room. If your apartment has enough natural lighting, you can try to experiment with dark tones.

With the help of color matching, you can strengthen or, on the contrary, weaken the value of interior elements.
Very good looks in the room contrast zones. But do not overdo it - a long stay in rooms with bright, contrasting colors tires. If pastel tones seem too boring to you, try experimenting with halftones, diluting them with small bright color areas.
Mixing styles
When designing your own project, try to understand what your interior will be: traditional, strict or easy and relaxed, calm or modernistic, dynamic. With further development, even with the mixture of styles, try to build on the core and play on its merits.

Finishing materials, furniture
Rough matte surfaces give a feeling of coziness and comfort, smooth and shiny details of the interior, on the contrary, emphasize the formality, the officiality of the situation. Selecting the texture of furniture or window curtains, consider and the invoices given by facing the walls and floor. Otherwise, your interior can break into separate, absolutely incompatible elements.

Accessories and paintings
Abundance of accessories has always been considered too bad form. Try to emphasize the only, most significant detail, making the rest just the background, framing the central leading element.

In whatever style your apartment was designed, do not forget about the main thing - it should reflect your inner world and harmonize with the inner worldview. Let your home be not only the most comfortable, but also the most practical and comfortable.
