Widespread urbanization has created an incredible demand for urban housing. A modern person, living in a city center with good infrastructure, where any services from restaurants to hospitals are open around the clock and within walking distance, is faced with a constant increase in real estate prices. The number of small apartments is increasing, and their area is shrinking.
Micro-living today is the desire of a person to have everything necessary in a small area that is usually placed in a large apartment or even a house. Architectural and decorating techniques are used to visually make the space larger than it actually is. A good project allows you to use every square centimeter of the area as functionally as possible.
1. Sliding doors and partitions
Sliding doors and partitions are a great way to save space. Traditional swing doors occupy the usable area of a small apartment. In a multifunctional space, where the living room often also plays the role of a bedroom, sliding partitions are also responsible for privacy.
2. Thoughtful lighting
Living rooms usually serve to solve many problems at the same time. This means that when designing them, you need to keep in mind all the actions and activities that are likely to occur in them. It is necessary to think about overworking and accent lighting, and spotlighting. For small apartments, it is better to opt for ceiling, wall, and table lighting; you should not force the interior with bulky floor lamps.
3. Pair of armchairs instead of a sofa
Sofas are wonderful pieces of furniture that can also play the role of a temporary bed. But for the sake of saving space, you should pay attention to a couple of armchairs as an alternative to the sofa. They are easier to move, they are easier to adapt to different tasks. Armchairs can be put together or spaced apart in different corners of the room or placed opposite each other.
4. Use corners
There are little-used corners in every room – they are either oddly shaped, too narrow, or in an awkward position. Here you can hang shelves or install a small rack for additional storage. Also in the corner, you can equip a sleeping area or a compact place to relax.
5. Use mirrors
The oldest trick for visually increasing space is mirrors. They help to deceive the eye and make the room much larger than it really is. This applies not only to floor-to-ceiling surfaces but also to horizontal mirrors that will help visually raise the ceiling. An unusual shape or a beautiful frame, a mirror can also become an accent of the entire interior.
