Many owners of small apartments are willing to knock down walls to combine tiny rooms into a large space.
However, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, such radical unification of several zones is not suitable for everyone.
Expensive and complex redevelopment
Owners of an apartment in an old housing stock who intend to make a studio out of it should be prepared for significant capital investments. In addition, they will have to spend a lot of effort and nerves to obtain a huge number of permits.
Unfortunately, sometimes all the actions taken may be in vain, since it is not always possible to obtain permission to demolish walls.
Even if you managed to pass this stage, there is a no less energy-consuming step ahead - coordinating the project with drawings and calculations. You will not be able to cope with it on your own - you will have to seek help from a design bureau.
Lack of privacy
The studio is suitable for a person who lives alone, or for newlyweds between whom there is complete mutual understanding.
If you don't fall into any of the above categories, think twice before you start combining rooms, because after that you won't be able to be alone for even a little while. Soon after being forced to spend time together, family members will inevitably become irritated.
Spread of odors
In the studio, the smells of borscht and cutlets with garlic will permeate all the things. Are you ready to put up with the fact that when you wear clothes, you will emit a bouquet of inappropriate aromas?
Unfortunately, even a powerful hood and cupboards for things cannot save the situation - those around you and with them will understand what you had for breakfast or lunch.
For reference
A studio apartment is a type of apartment whose main difference is the absence of internal partitions between the kitchen and living rooms or rooms.
