We use space under the ceiling, cut the area of the kitchen and make a bet on a laconic finish - we collected khaki from Western projects that you can take note for the interior of a small apartment.
Small-sized housing in Europe meets very often. But due to the lack of area of the apartment, they do not look uncomfortable or unwise, they have everything you need for a comfortable life. So what techniques are in the arsenal from European designers?
1 use space under the ceiling
If your apartment is more likely like a well - she has a small metrah and very high ceilings, there is a great opportunity to expand it not in width, and up. Arrange the enecessst second floor, as often do it in Europe. There you can transfer the bedroom or office, and if you have grown kids, then the children's zone. Downstairs, as a rule, a bathroom and a kitchen-living room remains. Difficult to coordinate redevelopment? In Europe, it is much more difficult to do - without negotiation, it is impossible to put air conditioning, change the windows and even the color of the walls, if we are talking about a historic building. Nevertheless, there is nothing impossible.
2 combine functional zones
Europeans went to the end in the desire to combine zones - they refuse partitions at all. Exception can be shuffled or toilet. While we believe that the kitchen union of the living room is a temporary tribute to fashion, new functional zones add in the West instead of old partitions, because the useful area increases. And by the way, narrow corridors and intricate turns do not play in hand to the interior of small-sized, without them the space looks harmonious.
3 Reduce the kitchen area
The tradition of crowded fences in Europe is not so common, as we have one of the reasons why the kitchen is often absent in the apartment. If it is, then, as a rule, combined with the living room. If this zone is highlighted in a separate room, then the main area is usually occupied by a dining group, and the place for cooking is modestly equipped in the corner.
4 Think up multifunctional backlight
What exactly should be multi-level and complicated is the light. It is not about the design of the lamps (here we are guided by the rule "the simpler, the better"), but about scenarios and the illumination of different zones. By the way, in Europe, natural light is very liked, often only light tulle or rolled curtains can be found on the windows.
5 Choose a single style and color
In Europe, it is rare to meet wallpapers on the walls, especially with a picture, especially in a small apartment. Motion wallpapers they play the role of decor, not the main wall decoration. In small-size walls, the walls are painted, as a rule, choose one light shade, often white. Nevertheless, there is no feeling of the hospital chamber, it will plant cozy accessories, posters and furniture. Since the space of small flows is combined, it is logical to select one common style for it. It makes the room harmonious. Scandinavian style, country or minimalism - for a small time, the design should be the most simple.
6 make a bet on laconic finish and design
The interiors in the West are primarily space for life, not a museum of souvenirs. And they fully meet their intended purpose. They can be found at least a pompous decor and fade prints, everything is concise, simply and useful - exactly as needed in everyday life. Pastel color gamut, minimum decor, comfortable multifunctional furniture - what should be rendered from Europeans.
