Often, people put things in space that is not on properly. Extremnya example is putting a bed in the living room.

This condition would be very obscure functions of space. So the result, the house will look more cramped and cluttered. This situation according to Joshua, due to the lack of planning that mature early.

Joshua added, for a minimalist theme, the key is in geometry. Angled stripes give the effect of light in the room. Details such as carvings also should be avoided when a narrow house.

Because the profile or carvings will give the impression of a full and heavy, especially on the narrow house.

MIRROR can be a powerful tool to give the impression of width on the narrow room. To give a broad impression of the room, install a mirror covering the wall surface. The existence of this mirror makes a visual illusion of an interior space seems to have an area of ​​two-fold.

"Visibility is initially hit on the wall, becoming more widespread because of the reflection mirror to form a more roomy space dimension," explained Joshua.

In the science of feng shui, the use of mirrors is also very important. The mirror on the wall can be repellent negative energy into the house. So the recommended design and installation of mirror space in the living room or on the shelf which is also used as a room partition.

But for certain spaces such as rooms, no mirrors applications. If according to feng shui is not good.

Mirrors can be mounted in different variations. For example, a large mirror mounted intact with no connection. This will make the effect more pronounced visually expand space. But the installation of a full-length mirror is very high risk of rupture.

You can divide a large mirror into pieces.

The mirror can also be used as a decorative room element. Many varieties to apply it on the wall. For example, cut the boxes and then installed to form mosaics. Can also be combined with other materials such as wood, wallpaper, and so forth.

But before installing it, note a few important things, such as placement of furniture. Do not place furniture on the walls fitted with mirrors to prevent the broken mirror glass.

In addition, the application also requires extra attention to the mirror. Cleanup must often be done in order to remain clear. Also of note is the wall. Damp wall is not recommended because it will cause the growth of mold in the mirror. If there are children, then the placement should be kept out of reach of children, because as we know, the mirror prone to rupture.

Notice Lighting

LIGHT to illuminate the room key from the lamp there are two white light (fluorescent) and yellow (light bulb). Principle, the brighter the light the room more spacious look. But the truth is not enough, the game's highlight artificial light will make homes more beautiful.

To support for many of the light from outside the entrance, then opening the house must be multiplied, the direction of sunlight must be taken into account with the proper placement of furniture primarily for the sofa seat.

Try seating placement is not directly facing the sun, opposite the sofa as much as possible back to the sun. This will feel comfortable when we are about to read on the couch. The sunlight will hit back and illuminate the books we read.

Confined Space Utilizing Tricks

Usually room divider or partition, shut down most of the boundary of separation space. As a result, the room so it feels more cramped. To outsmart, usually people try to apply a transparent partition, so that both spaces are still "connected" although somewhat vague.

Partitions must also no solid shut from the top to the bottom. It could be just a room partition adult waist-high table. Adjusted with the use of its application.

If you do not want visible activity, can be used in partitions that are blocking the view. Patterned glass material can be an alternative.

Partitions can also be a rack, wood or glass with aluminum frames are very appropriate to give the impression of light on the partition. There is also a form of partition fence to give the impression of harmony with nature.

"Rack can also be used to put the furniture, so multi-function, as well as dividing the room where lay the goods," he said.
