Choose medium furniture

Perhaps this does not make much sense to you since it is common to think that if we have small space, we should use small furniture. But, this is a common mistake in interior design.

This is a sofa created under minimalist and modernist influences, which are based on simplicity and space optimization.

The LC2 sofa is a loveseat model that was created in order to offer the best possible comfort with its double cushion covering only the necessary space. So you will have not only an elegant piece but also a fittable one.

Position striking elements strategically

Placing your art in strategic locations is a great way to create an illusion of large spaces.

What is basically done when placing the artistic images in certain places, is to create a focal point that visually distracts the person and thus broadens the perception of the space. This can be achieved either with paintings, photographs, or the favorite option for most people … Mirrors!

Check out this example where they have implemented a whole wall of mirrors. It can be seen as a reflection of the same living room, it makes you believe that there is a different room.
