Small interiors require constantchanges and search for new solutions to improve comfort. Apartments with a large area also often require improvement and redevelopment. Even a small element can transform the entire space. In a large two-level apartment, there was no order in the dining room, since there was no hallway, and all the coats and bags ended up on the sofa. The designers lowered the ceiling in front of the door and placed column-shaped cabinets under it. The ceiling lamp created separate lighting. A bench was placed from the dining room. Now in front of the front door there is everything you need to store outerwear and bags and a full-fledged hall. The interior design acquired a slightly mysterious oriental look.
A large family with small children was experiencingthe need for individual isolated rooms, even small ones. Relatives often came to them and could stay overnight. Sliding screens that replaced the walls solved the problem of transforming a large space into several rooms.
With a slight movement of the hand, the children's furniture is removed and the bed is folded out of the closet. Now guests can settle in a separate bedroom, just move the wall.
Juliet lives in a cramped apartment in a beautifulold neighborhood. To bring fresh air and nature into the small space, she replaced the window with a glass balcony door and expanded her world. State law prevented her from changing the architecture of the façade, so the railing is attached to the wall and there is no overhanging balcony area. Still, the space has expanded considerably.
There is only one bathroom in the house, so the entrance to it was from the hall. To make it easier to enter the bathroom from the bedroom, a second door was made.
Now, when you wake up in the morning, you can go straight to the shower without having to walk around the house and go out into the hall.
To the attic, where living rooms were created,It was inconvenient to climb, since the low ceiling did not allow one to stand up to one's full height. It is difficult to raise a section of the roof and change its structure. The window opening solved the problem of the height of the sloping ceiling. Thanks to this solution, the stairs to the second floor became much lighter, and it is much easier to ventilate the house.
The kitchen in the old house is located in the cornerroom and has two windows. There is a poorly lit dining room next to it. It is impossible to remove the wall completely, as this could weaken the supporting structure of the building. We limited ourselves to a large opening, placing a countertop on the lower part of the wall at the level of the furniture, creating a bar area and good, natural lighting. The interior of the small kitchen has become more spacious. The dining table has been moved to the living room and through the window it is convenient to serve dishes and utensils for table setting and back to load them into the sink. Previously, you had to walk around through the door.
Wall cabinets significantly reducekitchen space. In an effort to create more space, they were removed, leaving only one with shiny transparent doors. To increase the storage space for dishes and other necessary items, open shelves were created on the walls. Light glossy tiles and glass reflect the light from the window, making the kitchen more spacious and airy. The refrigerator, installed in the cabinet and protruding forward, separates the cooking area from the rest of the room, replacing the wall that was removed.
