Today, new buildings are enjoyed with compact apartments. It is in the premises of a small area it is especially important to consider all the details at the design stage. After all, the slightest flaw in the original stage can continue to cause constant inconvenience in everyday life. While the successfully found technical solution will allow you to live even on a small area with comfort. We collected in the article by several such techniques that designers used to organize space in small apartments.
1 zonate space with partitions
In many modern studios apartments, the private zone from the general separated partitions. Often, their role is played by rails installed vertically with a small interval. If you want something original, then boldly install the shutters. So called shutters that traditionally hang on the windows from the inside. But the shutters can be used as interior partitions and shirms. Penetration of daylight and air such space separators do not interfere, and it will help to burn the private zone.
Another popular zoning option is glass partitions. Species and materials of such designs set: with transparent glass or matte, with sliding mechanism or with doors. The only thing to consider is the glass partitions prevent air circulation. On the one hand, it will relieve the area of recreation from unpleasant odors from the kitchen. But along with this will require additional engineering solutions - such as, for example, the supply ventilation or installation of the bizer.
2 Use the windowsill as a work surface
On the windowsill, you can continue the tabletop kitchen headset. Thus, you will get a useful horizontal plane, and under it you can equip additional storage locations.
Use space under the window is not only in the kitchen area. If the window houses the bedroom or living area, the windowsill transform into a full written desk.
3 Turn the space over the sofa
In small apartments, the problem of storage is particularly acute. It can be solved by placing cabinets under the ceiling. So that they do not hurt and did not look too cumbersome, extend them to the entire length of the room. You can add a vertical selection of floor storage to the ceiling, as on the first photo. This reception is balanced by space and make it harmonious.
4 Put a folding transformer bed
If there is no possibility to organize a full-fledged bed, many agree on the option with a folding sofa. But even a sofa with an orthopedic mattress does not compare with a full-fledged bed. The optimal output from the situation in a small-sized apartment will be the cabinet bed. In the afternoon, such a bed takes a little space and looks like a shallow cabinet (most often with a small sofa), but in the night turns into a comfortable sleeping place. A significant drawback is not the most affordable price.
5 Use a portable table
If two-three live in a small apartment, for daily use, they quite have a small table. But in case the guests come, after all, it is worth providing the possibility of placing them with convenience. An interesting decision was offered a designer for a small apartment in St. Petersburg. At first glance, the table looks like a continuation of the kitchen headset, but this is a separate item, and it can be rearranged. At the usual time, it stands near the wall and does not take up much space, and additional folding chairs are stored on the balcony. With the arrival of guests, the table can be moved to the middle of the room and place four people.
6 Put a desk on a warmed loggia
The realities showed that the workplace of the house may be needed to everyone. The ideal space for organizing a cabinet in a small apartment will be the loggia. Of course, it will have to insulate, carry out electricity, pick up the furniture suitable in size. But the opportunity to quietly work in its small improvised office is worth it.
7 Install the washing machine under the sink
The bathrooms in small apartments are usually not affected by huge sizes. In some cases, the only option is placed there is a washing machine - install it under the sink.
It is important to calculate everything. Under the sink, you can find models of reduced height with a small loading. In this case, the sink will be located at a standard height. If your growth is above average, it may be possible to install a standard typewriter in height. In any case, it is worth measuring and find the optimal height for the installation of the sink and, based on this, choose the model of the washer. It is also important to remember that for installation over the washing machine, a special sink is needed, where the siphon is in the rear.
