Colors
When arranging and decorating any small space, it is important to pay particular attention to the colors chosen. Usually, light and neutral colors are chosen for furniture, floors and large objects. In this way, we visually expand the space. Dark colors have the opposite effect. In small quantities, all colors are permitted. The main thing is not to paint the walls a dark shade as this will make your space even smaller. For a summer decor, we focus on bright and warm colors and for a spring color, we focus on fresh colors such as green and blue.
