How We Improved the Layout of a 2-Room Apartment for a Family with a Child
Designers came up with a way to set aside space for a full-size hallway and kitchen-living room. There's now more than enough storage space here.
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.
