How to make your family feelcomfortable in a small apartment? How to find enough storage space for all your things? Use these little space-saving tricks from a Spanish designer When decorating an apartment, no matter its size, it is important to make a list of the wishes and needs of all family members. This is the first task when planning, which is what Spanish designer Pepe Llaudet started with in his apartment in Barcelona. Then he decided to make the most of every inch of the available space, and the result is a cozy, spacious apartment with excellent organization of space. Want to know what the secret is? Here are some of his simple tricks:
1. The power of color
The designer used an interesting technique whendecorating his apartment — he chose one color combination for all the rooms: beige and olive. But it is noteworthy that the walls of the living room, kitchen and dining room differ by one tone. Thus, the entire space is united by color, but at the same time there is a division into functional zones. The entire apartment is done in light shades: textiles, furniture, parquet — all this visually makes the rooms even more spacious and adds additional depth.
2. Single space
To make the apartment bigger,it is necessary to remove the walls, or at least some of them. The designer likes the glass partition that separates the kitchen from the living room and dining room most of all. This technique allowed natural light to enter, make the kitchen part of the living space, and also isolate noise and smoke. If necessary, the kitchen can be hidden from prying eyes with the help of blinds.
3. Proper lighting
It is very important to have a lot of things in the housenatural light, this will fill it with air and visually expand the boundaries. Pepe Llaudet selected all the furniture of small height, with simple clean lines, this is what allowed sunlight to freely enter every corner of the apartment. In addition, a large number of lamps are used in all rooms, which illuminate individual areas.
4. Smart storage systems
Every thing should have its place, and forTo do this, you need to take care of storage systems. The Spanish designer built a wardrobe from floor to ceiling along the entire wall that separates the bedroom from the living room. The wardrobe fits perfectly into the interior, becoming an integral part of it.
5. Two in one
Choose furniture pieces that wouldperform several functions at the same time. For example, it can be an ottoman and a coffee table, or an unusual chest of drawers, as in our Spanish example. On one side it can have doors with drawers, and on the other - a rack for storing books and all sorts of accessories. And what about the headboard of the bed, which will also be a convenient shelf along the entire wall?
