Relocation of a Family Apartment: 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 layout 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 at the expense of the living room, completely changed the finishing and provided many storage systems. We're sharing the details.

Combined Kitchen and Living Room

The original layout called for a spacious isolated living room, which was used to expand the children's room. The designer suggested combining the kitchen and living room and changing the layout of the cabinet so that the refrigerator is not visible from the room.

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

Removed the Kitchen Entrance from the Hall

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

Reduced the Ceiling Height in the Children's Room

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

Levelled the Floor in the Bathroom

The designer successfully arranged furniture in the bathroom and made the floor one level, eliminating inconvenient platforms. All 'wet' zones remained in their places.
