Redesign of a Family Home: How It Was Done

Recently, we told about the interior of a three-room apartment for a family with three children based on Ekaterina Usykova's project. Today, we'll go into more detail about the redesign. The clients wanted to increase the space of the children's room and decorate the apartment according to ancient Indian philosophy principles. The designer enlarged the children's room by using space from the living room, completely changed the finishing and provided many storage systems. We tell you the details.

Originally, the layout assumed a spacious isolated living room, and the space was used to expand the children's room. The designer suggested combining the kitchen and living room and changing the placement of the cabinet so that the refrigerator would not be visible from the room.

A wardrobe was installed in the living room, behind whose doors a full-fledged workspace for the head of the family is hidden.

Removed the entrance to the kitchen from the hallway

The previous entrance to the kitchen was closed and replaced with a wardrobe for clothes.

Reduced ceiling height in the children's room

This was necessary to hide the unsightly beam under the ceiling with gypsum board. As a result, the ceiling was lowered by 20 cm.

Levelled floor in the bathroom

The designer successfully arranged furniture in the bathroom and made the floor at one level, getting rid of inconvenient platforms. At the same time, all wet zones remained in their places.

What was the result?
