For the architects, light colors help give a feeling of spaciousness, unlike dark colors: "However, this does not mean that the environment should be monochromatic, i.e., without highlighting elements. One solution is to leave stronger colors and tones for some of the furniture and objects, such as cushions, sculptures, and paintings, or even choose a wall to receive a highlight color",they explain.
2. bring colorful objects into the environment
So, if you have opted for more neutral colors on the walls and furniture, it is good to be bolder with the colors of the objects: they will bring more life to the space, leaving it with a more striking decoration.
3. but not too many decorative items
However, when it comes to choosing decorative objects, it is important to keep in mind that "less is more". So, whenever possible, choose not to put too many items in the room, because it can cause a "visual pollution" in the space and still leave it with a feeling of a cramped place and without much comfort. In this case, choose to put necessary objects on the headboard, few pictures on the walls and try todon't pile too many things too close together.
4. if possible, opt for planned furniture
Even if planned furniture is a bit more expensive, in some cases it is an investment that will allow the room to be used to its maximum, ensuring an extremely comfortable result. With it, even the corners and walls are used in the best way for the storage of objects.
5. keep the furniture line at a low height

However, you have to be careful that this furniture doesn't invade the circulation area and become obstacles", explain Barbara and Larissa.

When assembling the room, train your eyes to see those spaces that normally would not be used, but can become great allies for storing objects, such as under the bed or in the corners of the walls. Another tip is to opt for "2 in 1" furniture, such as a pouf that can also be used as a chest, for example.
