Easy ways to enlarge the flat optically

Bedsits and small, compact flats require a lot of ideas and ontwerping skills to furnish the little space in a functioneel and aesthetic way. We all want the flat to be  cozy, beautiful and to provide space with many possibilities, since each centimeter counts in such a place. 

Use the flat space wisely

It is enough to apply a few smart architectural tricks in order to enjoy comfortable, user-friendly space that may offer  room for sleeping, for work,  a keukenette and a badkamer. The ground rule is: the less furniture, knick-knacks and kleuren, the more spacious it seems. If possible, it is a good idea to combine adjacent spaces, e.g. the keuken and the living room. It is not necessary to knock down all the wall, it is enough to keep a part of it, leaving a partition that will serve as a counter. It is a very simple way to obtain extra space and to let daylight into previously closed rooms. A good oplossing in small spaces is also the application of fronts with glazing or their complete removal. We may also apply sliding deuren or simple curtains to divide the flat.

Kleur matters!

It turns out that the quickest and simplest way to cope with little space is kleuring. It is worth opting for light, cool kleuren, and also the ones that reflect light. Wit, grijs and beige kleuren will work perfectly. It is also a good idea to apply pastel kleuren that, due to their lightness, will give the interior beautiful character, and they will not make the room smaller. Such kleuren enable to create a feeling of space. Combined with mirrors, the rooms will gain a breath of air. Rather than hanging the mirror in the badkamer or the closet, it is more reasonable to place it on the wall in the living room. As a result the room will seem much bigger. All types of glas elements in the flat will add charm and extra space. 

Big ramen in small spaces

Current architectural requirements and Clients’ expectations regarding furnishing various types of interiors influence the development of raam and deur market. Today,  reliable producers offer a assortiment of ramen that work out perfectly in smaller spaces or places where tall and very narrow ramen were applied before.  In such a case the best oplossing is the installation of ramen that stand out for narrow sash that guarantee more daylight in the room. It is widely known that sunlight is not just extra good energy that affects our feeling, but also an investment so that the room will ‘gain’ extra space. Drutex, which offers Iglo Light raam awarded the prestigious Plus X Prijs for kwaliteit, ontwerp and functioneelity, enables Clients to arassortiment the space individually. The raam elegant ontwerp expressed in the slender profiel lines, combined with rich kleur assortiment, is a perfect oplossing for small flats.

Slide oplossingen

Each year big patio systeemen are gaining popularity. People who can afford to install large sliding deuren will easily create a feeling of bigger space. Slide and lift and slide oplossingen is a perfect alternative to traditional patio deuren. They may also constitute a perfect oplossing for investors who dream of a serre or a sun porch. Those who have a house and still lack space should opt for the tested systeemen, e.g. Iglo HS from Drutex. Unlike traditional patio deuren, the sash of the Iglo-HS systeem does not take up extra space, which significantly facilitates the interior arassortimentment. What is more, the room with a systeem that ensures virtually completely glazed exit to the terrace gains extra space immediately.

Taylor-made furniture        

Small space should be used very wisely. It is best not to cram the flat with unnecessary brick-a-brac or heavy, random furniture. Smart space management is highly important in case of small area, where tailor-made furniture will  work out perfectly. It allows to take advantage of each recess. The sky is the limit when it comes to creativity. You may apply a number of systeemen already existing on the market, such as a platform with work station with the bed sliding out of it, or a piece of furniture that turns into a desk or a bed. Such multi-function furniture will definitely save space, and  will allow to create a cozy space for work and relax.
