If you answer this question on the monetary side, then, of course, such an apartment costs a lot. Nevertheless, in our market such apartments are actively sold and bought.
If you answer the above question from the point of view of design, it should be said that 40 square meters is a huge field for imagination, in which many ideas can be embodied. One-room apartment is not only the room itself, but also the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, hallway, balcony. You can experiment with the interior, choose the right design, arrange furniture in different ways, in general, it all depends on the owners themselves.
Task number 1. Make the apartment spacious
In terms of the number of square meters, 40 square meters is not enough, but if you correctly approach the issue of design, you can make the housing more spacious. In order to accomplish task No. 1, you should adhere to the following actions:
- Use sliding doors, folding doors or so-called accordions. Such doors do not take up much space; they can be installed in the bathroom or in the kitchen.
- A folding sofa, which turns into a bed at night, and during the day is used for its intended purpose. As an alternative to a sofa bed, you can consider a folding bed, which is hidden in the closet during the day.
- Use a balcony, by turning it into a recreation area, or by placing a workplace there. But for this, the balcony must be insulated so as not to freeze in the winter, and wide so that a sofa or table fits there.
Pay attention to the selection of the right furniture. Standard wardrobes and walls should be removed from the apartment, and in their place to purchase a wardrobe, which is a necessary element of any odnushki. The compact and multi-functional full-height wall cabinet saves a lot of space. It is also better to make coffee tables and a dining table with transparent surfaces, you get an optical illusion that visually expands the space.
Thus, there are several design ways to add space to an apartment. It would seem that these are simple solutions, but with their help the apartment will seem larger than the declared 40 sq.m.
Task number 2. Make the apartment cozy
Task number 2 is no less important. Making your home cozy is one of the key desires of every landlord, because you want to come home from work and get into a pleasant atmosphere. This can be achieved as follows:
- Lack of excess furniture. You should not clutter up the apartment, for example, it is better to hang the TV on the wall, and attach the shelves immediately to the walls. Use folding tables and chairs, which can be removed to the balcony when they are not needed.
- Using wireless technology so that as few different wires as possible are in the apartment, and it’s better to hide them under the baseboard.
- Combine bathroom with toilet. In this case, we get one large room, into which a washing machine fits easily.
- The right color choice. Light colors make the apartment easier and more comfortable.
- Room accessories. This includes paintings, frames, artificial flowers, pots with real plants, figurines.
Task number 3. Make the apartment comfortable
It is important that all people living in the apartment feel comfortable, so that they know that they have their own room. Naturally, it is quite difficult to have your own corner on the scale of a one-room apartment.To do this, you need to carry out zonal division of the room, highlighting the sleep, rest, workplace, as well as a children's corner in the presence of a child. The design of each zone should be done separately, without violating the general idea. Each zone should be separated by a small partition from each other, you can also highlight areas of the room in a different color, so that it is visually clear where the bedroom is and where is the work area. Alternatively, you can redevelop the apartment, eliminating some of the walls, and get a studio apartment, where the kitchen and the room will be combined with each other.
Apartment design is an integral element of any repair, and the design of a one-room apartment should be thought out before the start of repair work, and an apartment of 40 sq.m is just enough to show your design abilities. To come up with an interesting finish to your apartment, you do not have to be a professional designer, just a little imagination is needed.
