Times are passing, and at the same time, the layout of our homes is changing. Not to say that they have become radically more spacious, however, alternative options for ordinary one-room, two-room and small-sized apartments began to appear . The European layout will help us with this. Euro-girls quickly fell in love with our compatriots for affordable prices.
Until now, we had no idea that you could buy a more spacious apartment at the price of a one-room apartment. However, at present, not all developers focus on the needs of young families living with children. But it is precisely for this layer of the population that the Euro-couple is most suitable. Layout, arrangement, design, photo of the apartment will be presented in this publication.
A few words for your reference
So what is it, a European layout? In Europe, unlike Russia, such apartments are not uncommon. They are mainly intended for single or single women who are not burdened by children. Our young parents quickly realized that in this room you can live with a child, or even two. The layout of the euro-door is radically different from generally accepted standards.
A small area (not more than 40 square meters) does not prevent the housing from being sufficiently functional. We can say that everything is thought out to the smallest detail, and every square centimeter of space plays into the hands of residents. That is why this type of layout fell in love with the Russians. The kitchen usually serves as a living room. In addition, this area is skillfully combined with the entrance hall. So we move away from the usual stereotypes to receive guests in the bedroom, and competently use the lion's share of the non-residential space of the hallway.
Layouts of eurodvushek: pros and cons
As you can see, the lion's share of the space in such apartments is given for the kitchen, living room and hallway. All these zones combined with each other create the illusion of freedom and reflect modern trends. However, there are certain disadvantages in such a layout. If in standard Khrushchev and Brezhnev apartments the smallest room was certainly given for the kitchen, then the layout of the euro-apartment implies that the bedroom will be the smallest room.
If you plan to purchase an apartment of this type, keep this in mind. You will need to get used to the idea that the area of the tiny bedroom does not exceed 12 square meters. And this is at best. Therefore, the design of this room does not sparkle with original ideas. Indeed, in fact, except for a bed and a bedside table with a chair, nothing will fit there. It should also be noted that the combined bathroom occupies from four to seven square meters.
Lack of window opening
The layout of the euro-rooms often implies the absence of a window opening in the kitchen. This fact is a big drawback if the apartment does not provide a powerful hood. Otherwise, all the smells resulting from cooking will seriously bother the residents. In some cases, a window in the kitchen is still available. Therefore, designers are advised to install a transparent partition between the kitchen area and the living room.
Eurodvushka design project: how to optimally arrange furniture
We talked about the fact that in the bedroom of an apartment of European layout there is no place to roam. But in the joint space reserved for the kitchen and living room, you need to properly arrange the furniture. This easily includes a home cinema and even a children's play area. For guests, instead of chairs, you can install a large roomy sofa. If you are preparing dinner for friends, at this time they will be able to watch a feature film and enjoy a cup of coffee. Do not forget to purchase a low round table for these purposes.
In this publication, we look at the pros and cons of the layout of euro-apartments and give valuable advice to our readers. Designers recommend installing a play area for children opposite the dining area. Minimal children's furniture and a soft carpet on the floor will not hurt. If your family often hosts guests, consider a sliding dining table. So you save even more space. In order for all zones to successfully combine with each other, in interior design you have to resort to minimalism.
Living room-kitchen
An apartment of such a plan is just a godsend for single young people and couples who love noisy parties. The main thing is that the neighbors do not complain later. A small family can resort to an even more unconventional decision to design a living-kitchen area and abandon a traditional bulky dining table. In this case, you can consider the option of a multifunctional bar with a retractable worktop. Young people will appreciate all the delights of such a layout, especially if the bar itself will separate the cooking area from the recreation area.
Some helpful tips
Our publication today highlights the interior design of an apartment for an euro- apartment . A photo of the options is provided as a visual illustration. How can you revive a space that includes a dining area and a relaxation area? A great idea is to place a narrow aquarium. In this case, it is appropriate to paint the walls in the recreation area turquoise or blue. Well, for contrast, the walls in the kitchen can be painted gently green.
As we have already noted, the layout of euro-apartments often implies the absence of a window in the living-kitchen area. If there is still a window with a balcony or a loggia, it will be appropriate to completely drape the entire wall with a curtain. This technique will help to visually increase the space. You can go for the trick using drapery in the color of the walls and in the event that the window opening is missing. An improvised fireplace in the center of one of the walls will improve the atmosphere of a friendly tea party.
The arrangement of the bedroom
The layout of the euro-apartments implies a tiny bedroom, which will fit only an oversized wardrobe and an ordinary double bed. But according to the design style, there could have been no restrictions, if not for the limited use of the area. Of course, if you really want to, you can create an oasis in the middle of minimalism and make a bedroom, for example, in the English style. However, experts advise against this. Or as an alternative to minimalism, you can perform the interior of the bedroom in the Japanese style. Regardless of your decision, remember that light pastel shades visually add room to the space. Also, your bedroom should not be cluttered with things that you do not use.
Conclusion
In our publication today, we talked about what is a phenomenon of our day, a miniature euro-couple. The layout, photos, and also some design tricks were briefly presented. The owners, buying such an apartment, will not encounter problems if they will think through every step in the arrangement.
