- We consider the object from the point of view of external and bearing walls, window openings and wet zones;
- Should take into account that the boundaries of the kitchen can not move towards the bathroom and vice versa. Also, you can not "stop by" in the residential area, but we can use the corridor space freely;

- in this case, the kitchen is separated from the living room by a light partition, it can be dismantled - you will, of course, need to obtain permission, but this will not cause you much trouble;
- we are connecting the existing corridor to the bathroom - the area has increased from 2.55 sq. m to 3.9 sq. m;
- hallway (3.9 sq.m): the configuration and opening of the entrance door allow you to organize a separate dressing room - 1.7 sq. m. Its boundaries can be simply marked with sliding partitions (no permission is needed here);

- the living room is separated from the kitchen by a light sliding partition. The room has two doorways along the edges of the wall, a TV stand fits perfectly between them, and opposite is a sofa with a furniture group;
- The depth of furniture varies depending on the task: from 450 to 600 mm, if the dressing room is not enough, then we use cabinets;
- The customer plays the piano, his electric version is placed opposite the window;
- and a transformable table complete the living room; a balcony of 1.5 sq. m of useful area - don't forget about tea drinking in the warm season.
Option 2 The task is to obtain a dedicated sleeping area:
- The area of the corridor is given in favor of the bathroom; In the hallway we make a dressing room;
- The room is divided into two zones: a living room and an allocated sleeping area;
- We separate the sleeping area with a wardrobe opening into the corridor;
- The living room area contains a sofa, a convertible table and a TV. If desired, you can also place an electronic version of the piano;
- And do not forget about the balcony for tea.
