How We Improved the Layout of a 2-Room Apartment for a Family with a Child

This apartment is home to a family with a child. The initial layout didn't suit them, so the team turned to designers at El Trento Design & Interior. They started by redesigning the entrance hall and then adjusted the living spaces. Take a look at how it was done.

Separated the Kitchen from the Corridor and Expanded It

The original layout featured a kitchen in the corridor, so they decided to separate it using partitions. To create a living room area, the space was slightly enlarged. Even though there are no windows here, natural light enters from the bedroom through a glass partition.

Adjusted the Bedroom Layout

When the kitchen-living room area was expanded, part of the bedroom had to be sacrificed. So, the space was slightly adjusted by reducing the children's room. The bedroom became almost a perfect square.

Increased the Children’s Room Space

The children's room became the largest: there was enough space for a play area and a study zone, as well as a large bunk bed.

Merged the Bathroom

Since the children's room had to be enlarged, the bathroom area was significantly reduced. It had to be merged — not the best option for a family, but it allowed fitting in a full bathtub and a washing machine.

Made a Closet in the Entrance Hall

A portion of the entrance hall was dedicated to a closed-off wardrobe. All outerwear is stored here.
