Transform the space and make it convenientIt is possible and without capital works and demolition of walls - how to do it correctly, read in the article There was a desire to transform a small apartment and make it more convenient, but there is no possibility and desire to start a serious repair with the transfer of walls? We have prepared for you valuable and useful advice that will help to solve such a difficult task. 
First, let's remember that not all wallsare subject to demolition and even dismantling of the partition must be coordinated and obtained prior permission for this. This means that the repair time will be delayed, increasing the budget. In small apartments, dismantling restrictions are often encountered, and the "interfering" wall may turn out to be permanent. But the demolition of the main walls is strictly prohibited, as this can lead to the collapse of the building. We'll show you what to do! 
Down with extra furniture!First you need to understand what kind of furniture you use, and what only takes up space. To do this, try to count during the week how many times you went to the closet for books, how many times you sat in a chair, etc. Give the same task to your home - you will be surprised, but it turns out that a third of the furniture was ignored during the week, therefore you can do without it. Books can be placed in a narrow shelving unit, and the contents of the shelves can be transferred to the closet. 
Check how functional your furniture is.In small apartments, furniture should perform several functions, for example, a bed with storage spaces is a good solution for a modest area, and cabinets can be up to the ceiling - this will allow you to organize more storage spaces for things that have been "moved" from unnecessary furniture. 
After you have found excess and littlefunctional furniture, it's time to part with it and start planning the space. Do not be afraid of non-standard solutions Arrangement of furniture is a kind of redevelopment, only crowds of builders are not needed to complete it, but a couple of assistants-loaders are enough who will rearrange the furniture according to your instructions. But in order not to transfer furniture from corner to corner, it is necessary to develop a planning solution. To do this, it is enough to take graph paper or use special programs, where the space is drawn on a scale and furniture is selected. One or two evenings of creative searches - and the plan for arranging furniture is ready, but if you don't want to waste time, just invite a designer. 
If you decide to start developing a plan for arranging furniture yourself, pay attention to these tips.
- The TV screen should not be placed near the window - the contrast of sunlight and flicker of the screen will weaken the visual acuity.
- A sofa or work chair should be placed near the wall, so that there is no door behind you behind the back, otherwise it will bring psychological discomfort.
- To zoning the room, use an open (through) rack - this helps to fill the room with light and does not disturb the movement of air in the room.
- Working area and bedroom can be combined, as well as a living room with a dining room, but from the idea to combine the living room and bedroom is better to refuse.
Divide and multiply To smallthe apartment has become more convenient, it needs to be divided into functional zones. You can divide the space both with furniture, such as open shelving, and with textiles. Let's say in a single room you need to organize a living room, a bedroom and a workplace. To do this, it is best to equip the bedroom and the work area in the back of the room, and place the living room area at the entrance to it. In order to avoid a feeling of discomfort when guests come, the border of these functional areas can be emphasized with light-colored textiles. This can be the most common blackout curtain, sliding which, you close the bedroom area. 
Pay attention to colors Light and calmcolors visually expand the space, but dark and deep shades act in the opposite direction. Therefore, it is important to find a balance of light shades and dilute them with accent color spots so that the space does not look too "white" and cold. 
Apartments are different, but we are convinced that regardless of the parameters and characteristics, any dwelling should be cozy.
