It’s unlikely that living together in a one-room apartment with a bunch of relatives can be called someone’s dream.
But if this is what happened, don't give up - listen to the advice of the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", designer Yulia Tychino. She told how to make such housing more comfortable.
Partitions
Partitions can be used to zone the space – the main thing is that they match the style of your room. They can be low and made of plastic, or they can be special rotating structures or shelves. In any case, thanks to partitions, it will be possible to create a certain illusion of privacy in a one-room apartment.
Sofa
A double bed is unlikely to fit in a small one-room apartment. For a room that serves as a bedroom and a living room at the same time, a quality sofa is more suitable. For apartments of this format, the best choice would be corner sofas or classic sofa beds.
Curtains
Long curtains on the windows of a one-room apartment will make you reluctantly say goodbye to about 1.5 meters of free space. Take a closer look at Roman or roller blinds, and convert the freed-up windowsill into a large desk.
Fridge
The refrigerator is one of the most voluminous elements of the kitchen interior. To save space, try to build it into a tall cabinet or a niche between cabinets. This method allows you to make the most of the kitchen area from floor to ceiling without losing precious centimeters.
Light palette
It is impossible to state categorically that all dark shades visually reduce the area. But a large family living in a one-room apartment should still avoid a dark palette. Dark walls and a large amount of furniture will make the interior heavy and overloaded. Your choice should be snow-white walls and many lamps located at different levels.
