5 favorite design tricks designers can easily replicate

Kitchen without upper shelves

Kitchens with an open top are loved by designers for their exotic look. This solution visually makes the kitchen appear larger and brighter. However, there are nuances.

For example, savings from not having upper cabinets may be spent on a ceiling hood of a box construction type, which is more expensive than a regular one — hidden or built into the cabinet. To compensate for the lack of upper cabinets, floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets can help.

Mirror in a narrow hallway

A mirror or mirrored cabinet in a narrow hallway is a trick that works in any interior. Glossy surfaces reflect light, which visually doubles the space.

Especially useful for the darkest corners like the entrance hall.

Sliding interior doors

Sliding doors save space, and you can place a console table next to them without worrying it will obstruct the opening door.

In addition, such doors can be chosen to match wall color or hidden with concealed mounting. Thanks to a built-in ceiling track, there are no guide rails on the floor — the apartment zones seem to flow into each other.

Cabinet above installation in the bathroom

A built-in cabinet above a bathroom installation organizes storage space even in the smallest bathroom. You can match the cabinet doors to the finish color so that it blends in and visually doesn't take up space.

Plus, it's easier to maintain order with a closed storage system.

If the window opening height allows, designers like to use a windowsill as a workspace in their projects.

Especially useful when it's important to save every square meter. The key is to install heavy-duty blinds, otherwise working at the computer during the day will be uncomfortable.
