From Two-Room to Three-Room Apartment: Renovation for a Family

Recently, we told about the interior of a three-room apartment based on the project by Svetlana Gavrilova, and now we'll go into more detail about the renovation. The designer came up with a way to turn a two-room flat into a three-room one and accommodate a large kitchen-living room, a bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a child's room. We explain how we achieved this result.

Customers are used to having lunch not at a full dining table, but at a bar counter or sitting on the sofa — here everyone can sit together and watch movies. Therefore, the designer suggested combining the living room with the kitchen (which was supposed to be located elsewhere according to the plan).

The renovation succeeded thanks to the communications in the adjacent bathroom. The ventilation was also extended there — no need to worry about odors while cooking.

Moved the Bedroom to Where the Kitchen Was

The area allowed placing a double bed here, but there was no room for wardrobes. However, the designer went further and increased the room size by using the corridor. Now, from the bedroom, one can access a proper walk-in closet where everyday clothes can be stored conveniently.

Child's Room in the Third Room

This spacious room was originally intended for the child. There was enough space here for a sleeping and play area. Of course, there was also room for storage systems.

Combined the Corridor with the Living Room

After combining the living room and kitchen, a spacious corridor was formed. It was decided not to separate it with partitions and thus increase the room area. By the way, the entrance hall now receives natural light from windows and doesn't look cramped.

Wardrobes for coats and shelves for storing children's and adults' sports equipment were placed in the entrance hall — that was more than enough for a family of three.

What was the final result?
