New Floors
Replacing your floors in the flat brings a new freshness to your flat. This endeavor is quite easy to do, you just need to choose the appropriate one.

If your floor's lines are parallel to the longest wall, it will make the room appear more spacious. Having the same flooring in each room creates an effect of flowing. Use planks instead of strips, planks will make the apartment seem less busy.
Redecorate

Everything from lamps to the walls can affect the overall space, and also how you feel while living in it. If you want to make the room feel larger, try looking for furniture with eye-catching, decorative legs. Such legs do not allow the eye to stick to the base part of the furniture, instead, the eye keeps going beyond the piece. Look for beds that are not too high, but rather those with short legs since they can cut the room in half. When choosing colors and patterns around your flat, try sticking to similar patterns that you can trace in all parts of the room. Such cohesive parts are very important to make the flat feel more relaxing.
