10 ways to increase living space

10 ideas to help restore order in a small apartment or a small private house, and use the most efficient available at your disposal living space.

Housing problem - rather painful and difficult solvable issue. If you think that it's one-bedroom apartment - only a temporary measure, and once you have a child appears, you immediately to rectify the situation, I can disappoint you, because quite often all that drags on for a much longer period.

Someone does not want to take the credit in our very uncertain times. Someone does not want to change Khrushchev in a convenient area in the huge apartment somewhere on the outskirts of the motherland. The reasons may be different, but the result, often all in common - we are slowly starting to go crazy because We have nowhere to retreat, baby toys are in the most unimaginable places, and recently converted into a cozy nest hell.

But there are people who possess hidden knowledge that turn a small living space in a multi-level world, at least visually.

However, the article deals with the small houses, but that does not mean that the same idea can not be applied in small apartments!

1. Add a folding table

If your kitchen can hardly to miss two people, a folding table can become a real salvation. I saw a similar design in a small apartment in the city center - very convenient!

2. Add closed shelves under the stairs

This option is for those who have homes, even if it is a small cottage. I would say, especially to those who have a little cottage! The apartment is possible to make such small lockers wherever there is a strange nooks and crannies, which bestowed upon us in the generosity of Soviet architects.

3. Buy a large bed in the bedroom

If you have a studio apartment, this option is you just do not fit. But if you have your own private room, the king size bed may not be such a bad idea. It is generally accepted that it takes up too much space. Much more practical is considered to be a sofa bed, which can hide a lot of things. Designers say that the big bed makes a small room visually more. Yes, and sleep on a bed is much more convenient and more enjoyable than on the couch.

4. Skylights

I think that such a window in the roof - the dream of many children! Through these windows at night it is very nice to watch the stars, and in the afternoon they add in a small room under the roof more light. These windows only "but" - they should really be quality, because in a snowy winter they can begin to flow.

5. Take construction tools borrowed from the neighbors

If you do not fix anything on a regular basis and carpentry, to keep the house building tools that take up a lot of space, it makes no sense. If your neighbors are more actively engaged in such activities, you can take the tools they borrow. Of course, with the return of the neighbor and mutual assistance.

6. use attic

In the attic is rarely kept something really useful. If you remove the ceiling on one of the rooms, you can get almost two-storey apartment. At the very least, put the bed where you can accurately. I saw a version of a raised bed in an apartment in an old house (ceiling height - 4.5 meters).

7. Drawers and cupboards everywhere - a variant №2

As with the drawers option under the stairs, in the room can also be used as much free space as possible. If some of the things hidden out of sight, and some beautifully arrange on the shelves, the room will no longer seem so cluttered.

8. Use coffee tables

This is especially true of naborchiki "3 in one" when you have a few coffee tables that can stand under each other, as in the case of the arrival of the guests, for the purpose intended.

9. use wall

Here is a version of the garage, but you do nothing to stop something like this in the same kitchen or hallway. For example, some people are so hung bikes.

10. Turn the windowsill in the table-sofa

Option with the windowsill-sofa can hardly be implemented in our standard homes, but in older homes people have long enjoyed this idea. But the version of the sill-table suitable for any apartment.
