Can a small house be cozy? How to plan living rooms, if the area is sorely lacking? The answers to these questions are in our article. We disassemble the interior, in which the place is evenly equipped with a staircase. With an extremely small area of a house or a townhouse, it's time to get lost. How to plan space? Where to begin? What kind of decor to choose, so that the already small rooms did not look at all tiny? On the example of a two-level apartment in Italy, we will consider a number of ideas that help to organize a small space. 
Living room as a starting point for zoning Living roomin this project it is the central room in the house, from which the others line up: a shower room and a kitchen on the first floor, a toilet room and a bedroom on the second. 
Since the apartments are located in a country with a warmclimate, the interior designers did not provide any wardrobe or coat hangers. In conditions of our climate, not only a cabinet, but also a shoe shelf is needed. With this layout, it can easily go under the intercom, and the clothes hanger - on the wall behind the stairs. 
Brick door decor All overProbably, the apartment we are considering was once much larger, since we see a doorway in the wall, embedded, but deliberately not plastered flush with the entire wall. An interesting decision was not to cover part of the brickwork around the former passage. The result is a spectacular framing for a modern central heating radiator. 
Living room colors and decor For finishingdecorative plaster was chosen for the walls. It is a practical material, easy to clean. It can be used in any style. Three options were chosen for the living room: a simple matte gray tone, plaster with the addition of metallized paint and an intermediate option connecting the first two. The entire area of the walls in the living room is free, devoid of decor - with the exception of a modern canvas painting, which can be seen from the kitchen. The ceiling in the room, apparently preserved from the time the building was built, brings the necessary note of warmth. 
Shower room with neon lights Fulllocated on the ground floor. A win-win option is to sheathe the walls with tiles or porcelain stoneware under a stone butt, that is, without leaving seams. High-quality plumbing and the availability of all the necessary sanitary equipment greatly enhances the quality of the apartments themselves. The shower cubicle is equipped with sliding glass doors and a built-in drain for water drainage. Don't skimp on faucets. A good faucet, shower column and even a built-in shower panel will greatly increase your comfort level. 
Kitchen with a bar counter Due to the small areathe cooking area is combined with the dining area. And despite the fact that the room allows you to put a free-standing dining table, the choice fell on the bar counter. Please note: it has a built-in hob. A kitchen hood with illumination plays the role of lighting above the counter. 
White glossy kitchen We know that glossysurfaces visually increase the space. So why not pick a glossy white kitchen for your small home? The furniture is built along a long wall under the balcony. It is not only practical, but also creates. 
The exploited window sill Should be taken onnote: in a small kitchen, any horizontal surface is useful for operation. In this case, the window sill is used as a work surface, and an additional cabinet is built into it. 
Panoramic painting for decorationa boring partition between the aisle and the built-in niche, use a painting depicting a panoramic view of the city, a street stretching upward, or any landscape with perspective distances. In an economical version, a poster or wallpaper is suitable. 
Spiral staircase The spiral staircase is the mostcompact, after the attic of course. Due to its shape, the inner edge of the stairs acts as a railing. Such a dizzying design without additional fences is not suitable for a home with children. 
Decorative lighting of the stairs The staircase itself byitself can become an element of decor. Its shape and finish should be in harmony with the environment. Decorative lighting creates soft lighting. These can be recessed lights or LED strip. 
Bedroom with a low ceiling Bedroom isa room where you can put up with a low ceiling. If you decide to leave your brick ceiling unplastered, go over it with a colorless primer. So it will be less dusty and fine particles will not fall. 
The bedroom is located on the balcony above the kitchen. The apartments do not have a railing, but they must always be done. Do not joke with your own safety. Install a fence of thick tempered glass or special plastic. 
A wardrobe made of slats from slats can be made with your own hands at no extra cost. Filling for it is easy to purchase in many furniture stores. 
Dressing room Dressing room on the secondthe floor of the apartment is equipped with a wall-hung toilet and bidet, a surface-mounted sink on a wooden base and a large heated towel rail. Through the toilet you can get into a dark room that serves as a storage room.
