Harmonization of space
Even if you have to work with a small apartment in a typical house, do not worry in advance. Don't take cliché as a disadvantage - it can be an advantage as well. It is thanks to the similarity of buildings that today we can talk about the vast experience gained.
Demolishing unnecessary partitions, combining the kitchen with the living space through arches and bar counters, increasingthe area of rooms by minimizing utility spaces - all this is not new, but it has been worked out and thought out to the smallest detail. Modern renovation, the design of which is based on the expansion of residential square meters by reducing unused space, is a powerful trump card in the design. Combine what can be combined, get rid of what you can do without, use the experience of those who have already passed this way.
Let's look at an example. It was once believed that a combined bathroom is a huge minus for any home. Today, the best designers say, “Why not?” And they create spacious bathrooms, in which both the necessary plumbing and household appliances are freely placed. Perhaps this option is also suitable for your apartment? Or maybe also part of the corridor will lose its functionality, thanks to which it can be attached to the kitchen or living room? Remember: any manipulations with partitions require prior approval from the relevant authorities.
It is worth mentioning zoning. This topic is especially relevant for owners of one-room apartments. With the help of partitions, curtains and screens, you can separate the recreation area from the work area. Make the most of rooms such as loggias and balconies - you can arrange a corner with sports equipment, a work desk or a cozy sun lounger in them.
Home Materials

Classic becomes the best choice.
Modern manufacturers in the face of growing competition are trying to attract customers with quality. Environmental friendliness, ease of installation, economy, naturalness, safety are the main requirements for materials. When making a purchase, feel free to ask for certificates.
Today, floor coverings made of natural wood and materials that imitate it are relevant.

Wall decoration today uses textured plaster, cozy wallpaper, and painting. A good choice would be wallpaper for painting, then you can enliven the interior, while not incurring large expenses.

In some regions, an autonomous boiler is the best option for heating. Today there are a lot of them, some run on gas, some on solid fuel. In times of economic instability, a combined heating system that can use different types of fuel may be the best solution.
