Traditionally, in small spaces, white is used, which is visually capable of expanding the space. But in this house they decided to go beyond the standards. Its color scheme is based on warm beige and cool pale blue shades. First of all, it works to create an interesting and refreshing contrast that will be relevant at any time of the year. Secondly, these colors are neutral and visually they do not reduce the area.

Even a few motivating posters that adorn the walls of the house give the interior a special summer charm..

Not everyone wants to live in spacious apartments. For some, one room, the size of a living room, is enough. For example, Polish designer Szymon Hanczar deliberately abandoned a large apartment. He placed his dwelling on only 13 square meters, and this did not prevent him from decorating the wall with a bicycle, and hanging a hammock by the window.
