Before you furnish an apartment, you must clearly understand in which style direction it is sustained. Here it is worth paying attention to:

Lighting in any room of the apartment is divided into the main, local and decorative

Color and light are very important. Even if the room is decorated with expensive materials, it is an illiterate coloristic solution and inadequate lighting level that can ruin all undertakings.

The color palette of the interior in any style should be based on 2-3 basic tones

Most often, the primary color is neutral, whether it is light or dark. And as the accents are bright colors. They should be small in area and harmoniously combined with the main color. In this case, it will turn out to equip the room, which will have a great taste.

Use of vertical space from the ceiling to the floor

Do not leave bare walls. After all, it is they who cannot leave a cheap impression even with the most expensive repairs. Hang paintings or other decorative elements on the walls, such as panels, decorative fans, or other ethnic figures, masks, and more.

A panel, poster or paintings will become the central elements of the room and emphasize the good taste of the owners of the house
