The owners of small families and Khrushchev face the same problems: the cabinets are full, there are stacks of things everywhere, it’s crowded in the kitchen, the sleeping place and the tables are close to each other. How to change housing conditions for the better? The main thing is to look positively at the world around us and try to turn everything into a joke. After all, small-sized housing has a number of advantages that spacious apartments lack.
Firstly, the small area does not allow the accumulation of trash. The problem of an overcrowded cabinet, lack of storage space is inherent in any room. The number of rooms and closets does not matter. People, like rodents, fill every free corner with supplies and things. The absence of those things that are not needed, and it is a pity to throw out, will only benefit any dwelling.
Secondly, small-sized apartments do not require large utility bills. The nervousness begins to increase due to the lack of square meters - take a look at the receipt of payment and multiply the amount by three. This cost is only for one month, and there are twelve in the year - the amount received is impressive and reassuring. On these savings, you can relax on your vacation.
Thirdly, the absence of unwanted guests is ensured. Most families have strong bonds and there is a category of relatives who like to come and stay longer. A small apartment will not allow you to arrange a hotel room out of it. Spacious apartments are always filled with noise and it is inconvenient for relatives to refuse.
Fourth, cleaning does not take much time. And when you don’t feel like cleaning up, it’s just scary to imagine yourself the mistress of a huge apartment or house.
Fifth, repair costs. Repairing a large apartment is difficult and expensive. You can repeat the focus and multiply the cost of repairs in a small apartment by three. Construction work is not delayed for several months, which greatly facilitates life.
Resting in a clean, renovated apartment after a difficult period - repair - plunge into this atmosphere and imagine how long the repair in a large apartment lasts. Small-sized housing is one positive emotions. The correct layout will allow you to use every useful corner in the apartment, which ensures a more comfortable and pleasant life.
Cabinets are well used from thin material (drywall, plywood), high up to the ceiling. Visually, they do not take up much space, but are quite roomy. In the country of the rising sun, living rooms use mezzanine cabinets. This is a convenient way to use hard-to-reach square meters to good use. Furniture for small apartments is offered in a large assortment (a table and a bed as a second tier, transformer-type furniture, a bed with lower storage places), you only need to choose to your liking.
The biggest drawback of small-sized living space is, perhaps, the lack of personal space. Today, this drawback is easily eliminated with the help of a door or accordion screen. They practically do not occupy space, but it will help to separate a sleeping area or a place for study (work). When circumstances so require, screens are easily assembled and space immediately becomes one. A larger option is doors with a sliding sash system. With their help, a children's and adult room or sleeping area is created, it all depends on the needs of the family.
Any space can be made cozy and beloved, it is especially easy in a small apartment.
When none of the above benefits can help, invite friends or relatives for an indefinite time. All the advantages and the breadth of its space will be determined instantly. After seeing off the welcome guests, it is clearly drawn that the apartment is large and comfortable.
