Increasingly, modern euro-pillows are emerging on the housing market, which have replaced standard two-room apartments. They are distinguished by low cost, which sometimes scares the uninformed customers, and doesn’t they take a cat in a bag? The main contingent of owners of such apartments are young families and bachelors. Let's talk in more detail about the features of such housing and how to correctly design the design of the eurospin.
What is a European layout
The European layout includes a small room (up to 40 sq.m.), a bedroom, a bathroom and a living room area combined with a kitchen. Of course, the owners will not be expected by the stove, lonely standing in the middle of the hall, next to the sofa. In the project of interior design, they think over competent differentiation of two platforms: for cooking and for rest. In fact, a two-bedroom apartment with the prefix "Euro" is a more advanced version of a studio apartment, in which there is a separate, additional room. Of course, the layout in which the premises are divided into a bedroom and a living room with a kitchen is a standard option. What and where to place, decide only the owners. A separate room can be equipped for a nursery or a hall, and in the combined area to arrange the bed and again the kitchen. Inexperienced designers will be able to plan the project for locating zones by professional designers or their advice contained in specialized literature.
Pros and cons of the "apartment"
Among the advantages of Euro Taps note the following aspects:
- Its cost. Perhaps the most important and indisputable plus housing in its price. Eurogirls occupy an intermediate position between one-room and two-room apartments. That is, the buyer can purchase a home for functional only slightly inferior to two-piece, and at a price slightly higher than for odnushku. Savings are obvious.
- The ability to develop custom design apartments. For some, this aspect will be a plus, and for others - another difficulty. In the second case, we are talking about conservatives in the shower, who do not accept the line of modern styles and fashionable combination of spaces.
- The best option for young families. Young couples often face the problem of too small a family budget that does not meet the needs. It’s good if parents help in buying an apartment, but it’s quite another thing when the family is left without support and she will have to cope on her own. Previously, there were only two ways out: the eternal yoke of a mortgage and a nice apartment or a cramped room in a communal flat. Now there is a third option with euroguns. Given the regularly increasing popularity of this housing, it becomes clear what young couples prefer.
- Convenience in the arrangement of rooms. Usually a square-shaped flat is divided into a conditional straight line almost in half. On one side of this line there is a separate room under the bedroom and part of the hallway, and under the other - the living room with kitchen.
Have evodvushki and their shortcomings. These include:
- Lack of windows in the kitchen, which is found in 80% of cases. The work area will have to highlight the chandeliers and lamps.
- Kitchen smells and small particles of fat deposited on textiles and furniture in the living room. A powerful hood is required to solve this problem.
- Difficulties in the selection of furniture. The rooms still belong to small-sized ones, so the “stuffing” will have to be bought accordingly.
- The inability to relax in the living room, while the hostess in the kitchen rattles pans, plates and blender noise. As an option, you should purchase the most quiet household appliances, the noise curtain from which will not be so annoying.
The number of drawbacks and advantages of euroviches is almost the same, so the picture is the result of a neutral one. The main thing is to properly plan the location of furniture, zoning and lighting. In this case, it will be possible to “strangle” the disadvantages and emphasize the advantages.
Zoning options
From the zoning of the combined room in the first place depends on the convenience of staying in it. Installing solid furniture or a decorative wall in a small space is not recommended. Segmentation of the premises into smaller areas will make it even smaller. Professionals recommend paying attention to lighter obstacles: furniture (cabinets, sofas), mobile partitions or conditional zoning with a symmetrical decor. The original, popular option was the arrangement of the bar, which will act as a buffer zone between the living room and the kitchen. Also sometimes used conditional separation with the help of artificial light, color and various finishing materials. For example, in a fashionable loft style, one accent wall is decorated with brickwork, and the rest are plastered. The contrast of textures of materials is obvious. In some variants, if the height of the ceilings allows it, the living area is raised to the podium, in the “level” of which the spotlights are embedded. Organically looks symmetrical level drop on the ceiling.
In rare cases, the distinction is carried out using textile curtains. The actual method for combined bedrooms and kitchens. They do not recommend placing close to the culinary platform of the audio system, without which the hall is not without. Similarly, it is not necessary to decorate the border area with textiles. It will quickly absorb odors and will have to do laundry regularly. In general, the kitchen and living room are incompatible spaces. Their microclimates and functional purpose are polar, that is, they do not completely coincide. The delimitation of zones in this case pursues not so much an aesthetic goal as the need to isolate an aggressive kitchen, from which the main dirt draws from a calmer living room, where the household should rest.
Most evrosvushek have balconies or loggias. This cramped space should not be given at the mercy of boxes, junk and preserved banks. It can be arranged under a separate reading area, study or workshop. Typically, these sites are squeezed by the owners into the living room, in which it is cramped without them.
Furniture placement
In the kitchen should pay attention to the L-shaped layout of furniture. In this case, the two sites of the working triangle are located on the same line, and the third one captures the neighboring wall. It is better to refuse popular and beautiful island planning, as it is realized in large spaces, and this is not our case. The dining area is located here in the area of the kitchen and living room borders. By the way, the table and chairs can also act as a space zoning. Audio and video equipment is placed on the accent wall, which is opposite to the kitchen area. "Face" to her is deployed a sofa. His back will “look” into the kitchen, which is also considered a zoning option. If the back side of the furniture looks "not very", then it is supplemented with a cabinet of the same height. By the way, it is better to use the sofa corner, which will partially go on the wall with a single window in the room. Before him set a low coffee table. Wall with TV can be supplemented with a rack. In some cases, when the area of the apartment allows (about 40 square meters), a wardrobe is located in the corner. This option is relevant if the bedroom is too small, and there is no place to store things.
Style selection
From the stylistic diversity, many will start to scatter the eyes: Italian, Japanese, Baroque, Modern, Classical, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Provence, Loft, Eclectic, Ethnic, Fusion, Retro, Minimalism, High-Tech, Futurism, Constructivism. This list can be continued for a very long time. What style is suitable for compact housing? Optimal consider options from the line of modern trends. The high-tech will organically merge into a close apartment, putting the technical component in the “head of the table”. Its primary colors (gray, white, black) maximize the room, visually expanding the spatial framework. If the soul requires a "warm" rustic comfort, then you should pay attention to the Provence. Light, airy style, which chooses wood as the main material and white color as the basis of the composition. It is ideal for small spaces and transform them with lovely decorative details. Minimalism is considered the best solution for owners who value practicality and conciseness. It is also suitable for budget repair. For the arrangement of the apartment will require only a minimum of furniture and decor.
You should not choose the classic directions that are “on knives” with cramped spaces. For the embodiment of heavy luxury a spacious playground is necessary.
Arrangement of kitchen-living room
The kitchen combined with the living room is considered a fashionable and stylish design move. These rooms are united even in situations where there is no vital need for this. Just because the solution looks fresh and beautiful. When developing the design of the room should be considered:
- Small space that needs to be increased visually due to the bright colors in the background. For the same reason, it is not recommended to abuse with a colorful decor.
- Lack of natural light in the kitchen area. The problem is solved with the help of good lighting not only of the working area under the apron, but also of the whole site. Also do not forget about the dining area, which is located next door. The best option would be to install several ceiling chandeliers over accent areas.
We do not recommend experimenting with styles that are considered a priori potpourri (eclectic, fusion). They perfectly reflect the creative chaos in the head of the apartment owner and convey his mood, but they will spoil the perception of a small space.
Bedroom furnishing
The bedroom will have to be content with a small one, that is, a furniture maximum that the owners can count on - a bed, a wardrobe and twin bedside tables. In some cases, the wall at the head of the bed is covered with an ultra-narrow shelving. Wardrobe choose the type of "coupe", as its doors will not take away extra centimeters in the room. Traditionally, it is located opposite the bed. The bed usually takes up the lion’s share of the room, so it’s probably worth a sofa bed instead. During the day, he will free up space for a swing in the room, and at night he will turn into a comfortable sleeping place for two.
Conclusion
Eurogirls and studios are gradually capturing the housing market, displacing traditional options. Perhaps this is for the better, since buying an apartment (the ultimate dream of many) becomes easier. Features of the design of such housing, domestic designers took over from foreign colleagues, adding of course their own ideas. With simple examples, it becomes clear that even the smallest apartment can fit in everything that is necessary for comfortable living. And the convenience and comfort in the premises will not be affected.
