Interior of a very small apartment in Berlin
Is it possible to place all the functional segments of the home necessary for a comfortable stay on several square meters? The design project of one German apartment proves that with the correct distribution of usable space, the use of light finishes and ergonomic furniture, everything is possible. We bring to your attention the interior of a small apartment located in Berlin. Almost all functional areas of the dwelling, with the exception of the utilitarian bathroom, are located in the same room with an average quadrature.
Light palette for decoration and furniture
Nothing works on the visual expansion of space like white. The snow-white decoration of the room gives a feeling of cleanliness, freshness and spaciousness even in small spaces. The light finish soothes and pacifies, goes well with any shades chosen for furniture and decor. Even pastel colors look expressive on a white background, and each stroke of the interior will seem more expressive and effective in a bright environment.
White smooth facades of the kitchen set - the best option for a small segment of the kitchen. The monumentality of storage systems located from the ceiling to the floor is softened by a light palette, the lack of fittings saves space, and from the point of view of daily care, it is much easier to deal with snow-white surfaces than their dark counterparts.
The use of inclusions from light wood allows not only to diversify the snow-white palette of the room, but also to bring a little natural warmth into it. The wooden table top and the design of open niches for seasonings and other kitchen utensils, among other things, create a harmonious combination with the design of the flooring.
Modular furniture
A single-row layout of storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces is the best option for a tiny kitchen area. In such cases, it is possible to ergonomically equip the working area of the kitchen space both with the help of a custom-made headset, and with the help of ready-made modules offered by manufacturers as ready-made solutions for furnishing a multifunctional room segment.
The small dimensions of the hob (on two burners) and sinks allow you to create a safe workplace, while maintaining the necessary distance between sectors with two opposite energies - water and fire. This arrangement is dictated both by common sense and safety precautions, and by the teaching of the ergonomic distribution of zones in our homes - Feng Shui.
Embedded systems
It's no secret that built-in furniture saves usable space of our apartments and households. But by built-in furniture we most often mean storage systems or complexes of cabinets and workstations. But in the case of the minimum number of available square meters of housing, even a sleeping place is more efficient to build in than to place it in the center of the room or moved to one of the walls.
The design of the sleeping area exactly repeats the decoration and furnishing of the rest of the common room - snow-white execution of almost all surfaces, the use of light wood as an accent. Even the textile design of the bed has exclusively white color schemes.
Despite the fact that the sleeping place is built into a niche and is fenced off on three sides by the planes of the walls, a hole in the kitchen area and a window leading to the bathroom room interrupt solidity and add light sources for a small functional segment. The functionality of this piece of furniture is added by drawers at the bottom of the bed frame. In small apartments, it is important to use every opportunity to organize storage systems - there are not many of them.
The hole in the kitchen area is not only the opportunity to get your morning coffee directly to bed, but also the source of light, the ability to communicate with those who are in the working area of the kitchen or in the dining room segment.
