5 pieces of furniture that litter your small apartment
Creating a design project for a small apartment is a creative process. All owners of a small home would like to see not only stylish, but also convenient equipment on a compact area. It is worthwhile to carefully consider the furniture of the interior and identify objects that can be abandoned or replaced with more practical options.
Bedside table
At first glance, it’s hard to do without the familiar stand, often included with a bedroom set. It is convenient to put a lamp under the lampshade and an alarm clock on the countertop, put a magazine and glasses. And in the boxes hide gadgets, headphones and other little things.
But this function can take on and shallow hinged shelves at the head of the bed, partially closed. And wall sconces with opaque shades and a flexible leg are no less effective reading lights before bedtime.
A great solution for a small bedroom - a bed on the podium. If the sliding structure is divided by partitions, then bedding, pajamas, literature, and small equipment will fit there.
And in organizers, suspended on the sides of children's beds, an interesting book or favorite toy will be at your fingertips. Capacious pockets are easy to sew from scraps of fabric, combining their colors with the tone of the whole interior.
Coffee table
This accessory most likely refers to luxury goods and prestige. A table, beautifully designed and carefully selected for the atmosphere, emphasizing the taste and high well-being of the owners, is used for small receptions in a chic living room.
But it is easy to arrange short gatherings with friends or relatives in the kitchen, if the event is effectively decorated - use elegant dishes, turn on a cozy floor lamp, light candles.
Small-sized apartments are often converted into fashionable studios, removing interior walls. This technique increases the area and capabilities of the room. This format is suitable for a multifunctional bar, which usually separates the kitchen from the recreation area. The model, accessible from all sides, will be indispensable for both home lunches and evening tea drinking.
If, nevertheless, it is more pleasant for you to sit on the sofa in the living room, then purchase a prefabricated serving table on wheels or a transformer table, which, when folded, simply slides against the wall or hides behind any door.
Short but deep closet
It is obvious that in our climate all family members need a lot of clothes and shoes for different seasons, which must be stored somewhere. And things of daily demand should be conveniently hung and arranged. Outdated furniture does not cope with such complex tasks. The "pot-bellied" stunted two- and three-door wardrobe has remained in the past.
Nowadays, built-in multi-sectional cabinets are popular, which in a small room should occupy the longest wall and floor-to-ceiling space. Preference is not given to hinged, but sliding sliding doors and structures with shallow but numerous shelves, drawers.
Cunning devices called pantographs and compact folding step ladders will help to get things from the upper tiers. The interior space of the wardrobe must be planned so that there is a place for dresses, suits, linen, shoes, large household appliances (vacuum cleaner, mop, etc.), as well as small items (linen, jewelry, ties, belts).
Your imagination will tell you how to hide a workplace with a computer, a TV, a dressing table, a folding ironing board in a closet.
Visually expand the room light furniture with mirrored panels. And doors with color images will add vivid accents to the setting.
An important role is also played by effective illumination with spotlights or LED strip, located under the "roof" of the wardrobe - the ceiling will appear higher, the necessary thing will be faster, your reflection will be clearer, the fees for work will not take much time.
Massive chairs with high backs
Large chairs are ideal only for spacious apartments. Occupying a lot of space in a small room, they will disturb residents. Restless children, bumping into a solid barrier, will receive bruises and bumps.
For a small area, folding models can become a budget alternative to these items - there are even suitable options for bar counters on sale. When folded, the chairs are easy to store on the balcony or on the mezzanine, and only get out when necessary.
They look good in a minimalistic interior made of colored or transparent plastic. They are cheap, practical, look "weightless" and will not cause injury when dropped.
In a small kitchen, it is perfectly acceptable to use traditional stools that fit under a table or windowsill. And modern soft corners - beautiful and roomy - are suitable for families with several children.
Puffs
Ottomans are usually located in the hallway and bedroom. But a narrow and long bench with a rising lid fits better into a small corridor. You can sit down on a convenient bench, put a bag, and store seasonal shoes in a box.
It is worth preserving a soft square or round object only in the children's room - to equip it with wheels and a folding, and preferably a swivel seat. It will turn out a mobile chest for toys or constructor parts.
The ottoman will become more universal, and the children themselves will be able to answer for putting things in order in the game - they will like to carry a mobile chest and roll each other.
