Times pass, and at the same time, the layout of our homes is changing. Not to say that they have become radically more spacious, but alternatives to the usual one-room, two-room and small-sized apartments have begun to appear. The European layout will help us with this. Our compatriots quickly fell in love with Eurodvushki for affordable prices.
Until now, we did not even suspect that it is possible to buy a more spacious apartment for the price of a one-room apartment. However, at present, not all developers are guided by the needs of young families living with children. But it is precisely for this segment of the population that the euro-dvushka is most suitable. The layout, arrangement, design, photos of the apartment will be presented in this publication.
A few words to get you started
So what is the European layout like? In Europe, unlike Russia, such apartments are not uncommon. They are mainly intended for bachelors or single independent women who are not burdened with children. Our young parents quickly realized that in such a room you can live with a child, otherwiseand two. The layout of the euro-dvushka is radically different from generally accepted standards.
A small area (no more than 40 square meters) does not prevent the dwelling from being quite functional. We can say that everything here is thought out to the smallest detail, and every square centimeter of space plays into the hands of the residents. That is why this type of layout fell in love with the Russians. The kitchen usually functions as a living room. In addition, this area is skillfully combined with the hallway. So we move away from the usual stereotypes of receiving guests in the bedroom, and competently use the lion's share of the non-residential space of the hallway.
Euro-two layouts: pros and cons
As you can see, the lion's share of the space in these apartments is given over to the kitchen, living room and hallway. All these zones combined with each other create the illusion of freedom and reflect modern trends. However, there are certain downsides to this layout. If in standard Khrushchev and Brezhnev apartments the smallest room was certainly given over to the kitchen, then the layout of the Euro-two apartment implies that the bedroom will become the smallest room in terms of area.
If you plan to purchase an apartment of this type, keep this circumstance in mind. You will need to get used to the idea that the area of a tiny bedroom will not exceed 12 square meters. And this is at best. Therefore, the design of this room does not shine with original ideas. Indeed, in fact, apart from a bed and a bedside table with a chair, nothing will fit there. It should also be noted that the combined bathroom takes from four to sevensquare meters.
No window opening
The layout of euro-twos often implies the absence of a window opening in the kitchen. This circumstance is a big drawback if the apartment does not have a powerful hood. Otherwise, all the smells generated from cooking will seriously annoy the residents. In some cases, there is still a window in the kitchen. Therefore, designers are advised to install a transparent partition between the kitchen area and the living room.
Design project of euro-two: how to optimally arrange furniture
We talked about the fact that there is nowhere to roam in the bedroom of a European-planned apartment. But in the joint space reserved for the kitchen and living room, it is necessary to properly arrange the furniture. This will easily include a home theater and even a children's play area. For guests, instead of armchairs, you can install a large roomy sofa. If you are preparing dinner for friends, at this time they will be able to watch a feature film and enjoy a cup of aromatic coffee. Do not forget to purchase a low round table for these purposes.
In this publication, we consider the pros and cons of planning euro-twos, and also give valuable advice to our readers. Designers recommend installing a play area for children opposite the dining area. Minimal children's furniture and a soft carpet on the floor will not hurt. If your family often hosts, consider an extendable dining table. This way you save even more space. In order for all zones to be successfully combined with each other, ininterior design you will have to resort to minimalism.
Arrangement of the living room-kitchen
An apartment of this kind is just a godsend for single young people and couples who love noisy parties. The main thing is that the neighbors do not complain later. A small family can resort to an even more unconventional design solution for the living-kitchen area and abandon the traditional bulky dining table. In this case, you can consider the option of a multifunctional bar counter with a retractable table top. Young people will appreciate all the delights of such a layout, especially if the bar itself separates the cooking area from the recreation area.
Some helpful tips
In our today's publication, the interior design of an euro-two apartment is covered. Photo options provided as a visual illustration. How can you enliven a space that includes both a dining area and a relaxation area. A great idea is to place a narrow aquarium. In this case, it is appropriate to paint the walls in the recreation area turquoise or blue. Well, for contrast, the walls in the kitchen can be painted in soft green.
As we have already noted, the layouts of euro-twos often imply the absence of a window in the living room-kitchen area. If there is still a window with a balcony or loggia, it would be appropriate to completely drape the entire wall with a curtain. This technique will help visually increase the space. You can go trickusing drapery in the color of the walls even if there is no window opening. A makeshift fireplace in the center of one of the walls will enhance the atmosphere of a friendly tea party.
Bedroom Furnishing
Euro-two layouts imply a tiny bedroom, which will fit only an oversized closet and an ordinary double bed. But in terms of design style, there could be no restrictions here, if not for the limited space used. Of course, if you really want to, you can create a kind of oasis in the middle of minimalism and make a bedroom, for example, in the English style. However, experts advise against doing this. Or, as an alternative to minimalism, you can make a Japanese-style bedroom interior. Regardless of your decision, remember that light pastel shades will visually add space to the room. Also, your bedroom should not be cluttered with things you don't use.
Conclusion
In our publication today, we talked about what the phenomenon of our days is, a miniature euro-two. The layout, photos, as well as some design tricks were briefly presented. The owners, acquiring such an apartment, will not encounter problems if they think through every step in their arrangement.
