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.

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.

The lounge area was designed with tatami mats, which provided more storage space below. The desk could replace the bedside table to add practical functions. If there were large windows at the end of the bed, they could bring in more natural light.
