Old houses, which have regulated the narrow passages of the corridor to the kitchen (classic redevelopment)

Already it is becoming a classic redevelopment

Familiar with old houses, which have regulated the narrow passages of the corridor to the kitchen? But with this option, and we are facing. One bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and combined bathroom, where every square centimeter counts. Therefore requires well thought-out and balanced decisions on the arrangement of the home.

The corridor is not the place for clutter

When we enter into the apartment, I want to quietly remove outer clothing and shoes, and do not stand on one leg from a lack of space.

So we decided to add a bit of space for built-in wardrobe, sliding partition deep into the bathroom.

Even basic knowledge of interior design helped to solve the problem of the narrow space. Due to the solid surface of the mirror cabinet wings narrow and small passage turns into a cozy and wide corridor.

Now we can safely invite guests without worrying about the flea market at the entrance to the apartment.
The walls and floor in bright colors further expanded space. For a budget repair chose conventional paper wallpaper with embossed pattern and a leg laid laminate oak color.

As you can see, everything looks quite harmoniously with light beige shades. But the real width of the room is only 110 centimeters.

So what happened to the bathroom?

Old houses are not known for its spacious rooms. Therefore, cutting off the area from the bathroom to the corridor, it is necessary to fill the space.
And here comes to the aid of the very narrow passage to the kitchen, which has already been mentioned earlier.

Demolition interfering partition and closes the passage. The quickest and easiest option we thought to make a sequel of the walls with the help of guides and rack of metal structures, trimmed with plasterboard. The interior space is filled with two layers of standard insulation. It turns spacious open plan bathroom, which easily fit a washing machine.

Such alterations are not only made up for the lost space, but also increased the area of ​​the premises. Now we are very pleased to have placed a comfortable big bathroom, which like.

The extra space has allowed to establish a normal wash basin for morning procedures. Proper alignment allows not infringe upon themselves in the usual accessories.

Almost like in a country house

Sometimes mozolyat batteries eyes and pipe, located in the most prominent place in the room. When one of trying to ignore, others try to disguise a not very aesthetic spectacle. Well, when elements such apartments are near a window where it is possible to cover all the curtains. The other matter when the riser is in the corner of the room, far from saving the eaves.

Therefore, in this corner of the apartment, we decided to organize a small fireplace room. More specifically, to hide the tube for construction of plasterboard. Top mock fireplace pasted paper wallpaper under a brick. This facility helped hide unwanted wires and bring additional outlets without sacrificing interior. After dark evenings of winter so I want to sit with a glass of hot tea in front of the fireplace.

In this picture, you may notice that the top and bottom structures are integrated air vents for proper air circulation.

Kitchen converted from rectangular to square

If the standard input into the kitchen was out of the corridor, then after our re-planning it is necessary to do of a large room. If the original version of the working area made along one wall, it is now possible all wall cabinets and tables placed in the shape of the letter "G".

In place of the former passage made drywall. Now it is perfectly blocking refrigerator. Working surface area increased by almost half, while sufficient space for cooking and dining table.
When we went to the neighbors, the kitchen visually is an elongated, narrow room: the right along the wall of the cooking space, the right is a zone meal. We have the same square-shaped kitchen from what seems to be larger than it actually is.

Always liked to combine several lighting options. Bright central lamp cold white light is used during cooking. But in the evening I have an opportunity to drink tea with a gentle warm light from the lamps along the kitchen wall cabinets. In the photo light seems bright, but in fact screwed thin soft yellow light bulb.

And finally,

When we are engaged in redevelopment apartment, responsive to the needs and habits. The main focus was on free corridor, the ability to install a large bath and a convenient kitchen area. All flats formed mainly in light colors to visually appeared larger area. Additionally, for the same purpose, large mirrors on the cabinet doors were used.
Even small changes in floor plan can significantly increase the comfort of living.
