45-square-foot Duplexed Apartment Design

Here are some of the 46-square-meter penthouses: ** 1. Spatial layout ** 1. ** Division of Function Zones ** - In some cases, such as the 46-square-meter family of six's penthouse apartment in Taibei, the second floor space was planned with a height of 4 meters, and an additional 33 square meters was added to create a layout of four rooms, two halls, two bathrooms, and a study. In order to satisfy the multi-room configuration, the proportion of each domain was appropriately reduced. The basic use was the main focus, and the spatial vein was simplified. The storage cabinets were built along the pillar structure or the wall line to prevent the small apartment from being crowded and chaotic. - There was another example of a 46-square-meter minimalist small penthouse. The first floor had a building area of about 46 square meters. The designer had created an open layout of the guest kitchen space, making the space more transparent and spacious. The second floor was slightly compact, about 28 square meters. It was planned to have two bedrooms and a bathroom, which not only met the living needs but also ensured the rational use of the space. 2. ** Use of the Stairs ** - For example, in the case of a Nordic-style small apartment complex building, a built-in cabinet was built on one side of the entrance corridor, and a row of empty spaces near the shoe changing area was used to facilitate the placement of miscellaneous items. The bottom of the stairs leading to the second floor on the side of the entrance was changed into a locker to increase storage space and avoid corner waste. ** 2. Style and decoration ** 1. ** Northern European style with retro tones ** - There was a 46-square-foot penthouse with a Nordic-style design and retro colors. For example, the TV background wall was painted in retro green. It was matched with a wood-style TV cabinet and large green plants to create a natural feeling. The master bedroom used a retro green background wall to echo the bedding, and the metal wall lamp and iron bedside table added style. 2. ** Modern style and compound design ** - In the case of the 18 square meters single apartment in Stockholm, although the size was different, the design ideas could be used as a reference. The modern apartment was designed in a compound style to meet the living room, kitchen, dining room, study, bathroom, storage space, and other complete living needs of a single person. For example, the sink area at the entrance used a hanging board to define the kitchen and bathroom area. The side with a mirror was the bathroom space, and the side with a blackboard was the kitchen sink. The bay window design replaced the living room sofa and desk, and the stairs to the second floor also served as a wardrobe and locker with sufficient storage capacity. ** 3. Space utilization considerations ** 1. ** The use of layers ** - For example, the single-story apartments in Stockholm were 4.2 meters high, and the penthouse was planned to be three meters above the ground so that the space below would not appear oppressive. At the same time, the second floor was not full, maintaining the original height of the domain, allowing light and air to flow freely and ensuring comfort. - In the case of the 46 square meters American home in New York, the floor height was 4 meters. In order to maintain the sense of space penetration, the multi-story was only planned above the living room, and only partial high-level space was used. The second floor was deliberately not filled to avoid making the first floor space become oppressive. When walking up the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor, one side could overlook the living area, and the other side could see the kitchen and office area.

The 40-square-meter apartment had a variety of designs and functional arrangements. In terms of spatial layout, the first floor usually had public areas such as the living room, kitchen area, bathroom, etc. Some of them would have a storage area, which might include a closed storage space and an open hanging area. Some of the living rooms would have a high design, with exquisite chandeliers, decorative paintings, beige fabric sofas, checkered pillows, octagonal diamond-shaped metal coffee tables, etc., creating a unique atmosphere. The kitchen might be open, with custom-made one-line cabinets and a refrigerator next to it. There were also cases where L-shaped cabinets fit the house type, and there was also a design where the hanging cabinets were removed and only the ground cabinets were installed for storage. Some of the dining rooms had elegant long dining tables and small dining chairs. There were decorative paintings hanging on them, and there were solid wood sideboards. The upper part was equipped with glass shelves for storage and display. The multi-functional sofa can be unfolded into a double bed to meet the needs of relatives and friends. The stairs leading to the second floor had various designs. Some of the stairs had solid wood treads and metal guardrails. The last step could be extended to the window to become a resting place. On the second floor, there were bedrooms, cloakrooms, and offices. Some of the bedrooms were open, with a coat rack near the guardrail, a storage cabinet at the bottom, and surrounded by black poles. Some of them combined the study and bedroom into one, with the lower floor working and the upper floor resting. Some of the small double-storied apartments even had a balcony, and the first and second floors had separate wet and dry baths. The overall decoration style was luxurious, stylish, simple, and rustic.

When designing the 45-square-meter penthouse, you can refer to the following points: 1. ** Precise Space Planning **: Due to the small area, the function and layout of each area must be precisely planned during the design to maximize the use of space and avoid waste. 2. ** Light and simple furniture selection **: Choose light and small furniture, such as folding tables and chairs, custom-made cabinets, etc., to avoid over-sized and over-heavy furniture causing space crowding. 3. ** Bright colors and lighting design **: Choose bright colors for walls, furniture, and decorations as much as possible, such as blue, light pink, sky blue, beige, etc. in cool colors. The color of the floor should be consistent with the color to increase the brightness and spaciousness of the space. At the same time, arrange windows and lamps reasonably to enhance the light. 4. ** Multi-functional storage space **: Choose furniture with storage functions, such as drawers under the bed, wall shelves, etc., to increase the storage space in the small space. 5. ** Reasonably use partition **: Use partition to separate different functional areas according to actual needs to enhance privacy and practicality. 6. ** The reasonable arrangement of the air conditioning and ventilation system **: Considering the characteristics of the different heights of the multi-storied building, the air conditioning and ventilation system should be arranged reasonably to ensure the air circulation and temperature balance. 7. ** Keep the main color tone simple **: To avoid the color being too complicated and causing confusion, focus on simplicity. 8. [simplify: buy items carefully, simplify complicated items, and avoid space chaos.]

The following are some of the features of the 25-square-foot penthouse: ** 1. Spatial layout ** 1. ** Division of Function Zones ** - Usually, there would be a relatively compact but complete functional area. For example, the living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and other basic living spaces would be set up. For example, some designs designed a draw-out shoe cabinet and a storage cabinet to increase storage space on the left side of the door, while the right side of the door was the living room area, where simple furniture such as sofas and coffee tables were placed. - The kitchen might be an open small kitchen. Although the space was not big, it was fully functional. For example, some of the kitchen had a built-in refrigerator design, a large single tank for washing and cooking, and some would also arrange a washing machine in the kitchen. - There were various types of bedroom areas. Some were designed on the second floor to meet the needs of clothing storage, and the bedding was placed directly on the comfortable mattress to form a rest area. Some were designed as tatami bedrooms or normal beds, such as a 1.8-meter-by-two-meter-bed, with bedside tables, etc. - In terms of the bathroom, some would consider separating the dry and wet. For example, the diamond-shaped shower room was designed with two walls near the window area, and the partition was designed against the wall. The washing machine was placed below, and the cleaning supplies were stored above. The bathroom cabinet was installed on the other side of the shower room, and the toilet was installed on the opposite side. A shelf was designed behind the toilet. There were also cases where the bathroom was designed on the second floor, including the toilet, sink, and shower area. 2. ** Space utilization strategy ** - Storage design was the main point. In addition to the wardrobe, shoe cabinet, etc. mentioned above, there would also be a staircase cabinet design, such as stuffing the refrigerator in the stairs to save space, or making the space under the stairs into a wooden cabinet, taking into account the bookshelf, TV background wall, refrigerator storage cabinet and other functions. - The functional areas were divided by means of split-level or raising the ground. For example, some living room areas had a part of the ground raised compared to the kitchen area, which could not only divide the boundaries but also make the height of the bay window suitable for seating. ** 2. Style and decoration ** 1. ** Color Usage ** - There was a design that used light gray paint on the walls and layered flooring to make the apartment look big and spacious. There was also a plan that used wood and white to match the main effect and used jumping yellow as an embellishment to make the space more lively. 2. ** Details of furniture and decoration ** - The living room had a two-person fabric sofa with hanging paintings and circular shelves with small green plants. There were also light pink sofas, bedside tables, and circular mirrors. The kitchen apron would be covered with white tiles. It was simple and fashionable. ** 3. Leasing (refer to the case of Guangfozhicheng)** - A 25-square-meter double-story apartment could be rented as a whole. For example, in the case of Guangfozhi City, the household appliances were complete. The monthly rent was 1100 yuan. The deposit was two and the payment was one. It faced the south and was located on the upper floor (a total of eight floors). The interior layout was clear and there was room. It was finely decorated. The household appliances included a refrigerator, washing machine, water heater and other equipment.

The following are some of the design points for a 27-square-meter apartment: ###1. Spatial layout 1. ** Division of Function Zones ** - The partition could be used to flexibly divide different functional areas. For example, in the design of Yulia Kulikova's 27 square meters miniature apartment, there was a sliding door between the bedroom and the living room. When the sliding door was opened, the two could be easily combined to increase the visual area of the space. - For example, in Valya Voinova's 27-square-meter apartment, a wall was slanted at an acute angle. Using this irregular state, the slanted wall was displayed symmetrical. The bathroom was separated by a partition, making the plane form a echelon. A high island was set up in the center of the echelon. On one side was a bar counter to close the dining area, and on the other side was a partition with a shelf and a TV to separate the sofa area, making each area independent and smooth. 2. ** Make full use of the corners of the space ** - In the living room, there was a size corner sofa (which could also be used as a sleeping space if there was extra sleeping needs). In the 27-square-meter apartment designed by Yulia Kulikawa, part of the windowsill functioned as a bedside table. In the corner, there was a mattress and a tatami-like platform with three storage drawers. ###2. Storage design - Even if the area was limited, they had to try to accommodate a large amount of storage space. For example, in the 27-square-meter apartment designed by Valya Voinova, the main color was white, and a large amount of storage space was hidden behind the white, simple cabinet front, using the rhythmic sense of vertical to lengthen the height of the room. ###3. Colors and decorations - The principle of minimalism could be used to create a simple space with white as the main color, such as Valya Voinova's design. At the same time, some simple decorations, such as simple paintings hanging on the wall, small ornaments, etc., added art and warmth. ###4. Choice of furniture - Choose small and versatile furniture. For example, choose a bed with a storage function, a combination of furniture (such as a combination of a bar counter and a TV stand), and so on. Storage systems could be built into the workplace. For example, in a small apartment designed by Valya Voinova, a fireplace could be placed in the closet while functional integration was achieved.

Here are some design ideas for a 20-square-meter apartment: ###1. Function Division 1. ** Space layout optimization ** - One could use furniture to divide the space. For example, a table could visually divide the space into the kitchen and living room area, making the slender room more regular in terms of geometry. - If it was a rectangular apartment, it could be arranged according to the frequency of use of each functional area. For example, the kitchen was set on the side of the entrance door, the kitchen and dining room were passed to the leisure area, and then the bedroom and studio were set up on the second floor through the stairs. 2. ** Multifunction Region Setting ** - For example, a desk could be placed at the end of the bed in the bedroom, turning it into a bedroom and a studio space, making it convenient to handle work at home. - In addition to dining, the large long table in the living room could also be used for office and storage. The microwave and refrigerator could be cleverly hidden under the table to save space. ###2. Storage design 1. ** Storage of custom-made furniture ** - The shoe cabinet that was designed to the top was used as a partition to meet the storage needs of the entrance and effectively use the space. - The kitchen was set up along the length of the room, integrated with open shelves to release the working surface, and could add storage areas above the sink, such as stainless steel rods installed on the wall to store hair dryers, skin care products, etc. - There were two layers of storage racks on the wall of the bedroom to store items, and a white locker in the living room to store clothes and suitcases. 2. ** Using vertical space to store ** - Using the attic bed design, creating storage space under the bed, or creating a walk-in wardrobe under the attic bed. The stairs were hollowed-out, and the space at the bottom was left empty. Later, they could add drawers and other storage items. ###3. Style and atmosphere creation 1. ** Color matching ** - You can choose a contrasting color combination, such as saturated scarlet and emerald green in the furniture to create a lively atmosphere, paired with neutral walls to give people a sense of security. You can also use light and elegant colors. If you don't use bright colors, you can create an elegant interior decoration through the combination of furniture. 2. ** Decorations and Elements ** - The surface of the walls and ceiling was covered with texture embossed decorative magnetic strips to create a comfortable atmosphere. In the bathroom, retro 70s tiles and designer tiles with abstract prints were used, along with a vertically heated towel rack and an interesting folding clothes dryer to create a unique atmosphere. - The kitchen had a fashionable metal apron made of stainless steel, which made it stand out and add vitality.

The TV background wall was painted with pearl white lacquer, and there was a spotlight on the top with a hanging TV cabinet. The sofa background wall was painted with pearl white lacquer, matched with decorative paintings, and placed with a two-person slim low-legged sofa and a low-legged cloud tea table. The balcony was equipped with lifting clothes racks, a laundry area (where the washing machine was placed), hanging bars (where the clothes racks were stored), and a top hanging cabinet. - ** Cloakroom **: Design a three-story cabinet combination. The cabinet body is moved by pre-buried heavy-duty hanging rails. The first floor is a two-character cloakroom with special storage spaces such as hanging area, stacking area, sundries area, bedding area, etc. The second floor is a mini study and guest bedroom, which can be converted according to needs. - ** bedroom **: There is a folding sliding door to ensure privacy. There was also another design for a 42-square-meter apartment (Beijing-Shaoyaoju North): - The walls were re-built to divide the space. A new bedroom was added to the window area, with a single bed inside. A desk was set up in front of the window, and a row of large wardrobes were custom-made in the concave part. - The living room area was lined with furniture. - The bathroom was separated by a curved partition. - The rightmost master bedroom was equipped with a wardrobe, a double bed, and a makeup table. - The cabinets on both sides of the door formed a porch, and a disposable cabinet was connected to the side.

The following are some suggestions for the renovation design of a 40-square-meter apartment: ** 1. Spatial layout ** 1. ** Open design ** - Consider an open kitchen and connect the kitchen to the dining room. This would expand the sense of space of the dining room and kitchen at the same time, and improve the ventilation effect of the kitchen. - It was also a good choice to connect the living room and balcony. Removing the door between the living room and the balcony and integrating the balcony into the living room would make the living room more spacious and bright. 2. ** Integration of functional areas ** - If you need a study room, you can build a semi-open study room. For example, using a low wall as a sofa wall and placing the desk next to the low wall would improve the sense of space in the study and living room. ** 2. Choice of furniture ** 1. ** Small furniture ** - Don't choose a large sofa with a soft bag or an L-shaped sofa. Choose a simple and small style to avoid making the space seem crowded. - The bed should also be chosen to be of a suitable size and simple in shape to avoid an oversized bed occupying too much space. 2. ** Reduce the number of furniture ** - Non-essential furniture could be discarded, such as coffee tables, bedside tables, etc. If space was limited, they could not be placed. ** 3. Design of the bedroom ** 1. ** Choice and matching of bed ** - It could be in the form of a rib bed + a desk cabinet. If the bedroom had a bay window, combined with the bed, desk, and wardrobe integrated design, it could not only make full use of the space, but also create an office and study area. Moreover, the rib bed was convenient for taking items under the bed, ventilation, and convenient replacement. - Or choose the step tatami + semi-enclosed desk. This design could maximize the use of space. The wall at the end of the bed was custom-made for top-level storage, and the step area was equipped with drawers to store small items. - The single bed could be placed against the wall to release more space. If there was a need for office and study, the bedside table could be combined with the lifting desk, and the wall space could be used as an open bookshelf or shelf. 2. ** Points to note ** - Accurately measure the size of the bedroom before the renovation and plan the layout according to the actual area. ** 4. Floor and wall treatment ** 1. ** Ground ** - The floor tiles were used to extend the space visually, making the floor tiles look more integrated and spacious. Before laying the bricks, lay out the floor tiles to reduce the loss and avoid the appearance of small bricks. Pay attention to the bricks and joints. It is recommended to choose 800*800 floor tiles, which are cheap, low construction costs, and better after laying. The beautiful seams can choose the same color process to make the brick seams less obvious. 2. ** Wall ** - When there was insufficient space, use the wall to install hole boards, corkwood boards, wall cabinets, etc. to store good things to increase the storage space. ** 5. Doors, windows, and other aspects ** 1. ** Curtain selection ** - The living room could only be equipped with gauze curtains, which could ensure a certain degree of privacy without blocking the light like the curtains, making the living room appear dark and congested. The gauze curtains could be installed on the balcony, allowing the balcony and the living room to fully integrate. 2. ** TV area ** - The TV background was changed into a TV cabinet, and the depth was controlled to be about 30 centimeters. It could be appropriately left open, which had both storage and decorative functions. 3. ** bathroom design ** - If the bathroom area was very small, consider installing a squatting pit, which would make the space slightly more spacious, and there was no need to worry about wetting the toilet bowl. - The washbasin could also be placed outside the aisle area to avoid queuing when using the bathroom.
