Setting up small rooms – unconventional design solutions

We show you some inspiration for setting up small rooms, such as this loft in Canada. It has been completely renovated and transformed. We take you on a virtual tour and explain the problems the new owner had to solve. The room was so small that there was no space for a dining room. The designers opted for a kitchen counter with a dining area, leaving more free space for the living room. A backless couch in the living room lets sunlight pass through the space. The furniture was specially selected so it can also be used later if the owner moves to a larger apartment. A high wall unit with many shelves, cabinets and a TV area makes optimal use of the ceiling height and available space. A brilliant side table successfully replaces the dining table. The bedroom is separated from the lounge by a sliding door and highlighted in yellow. A photo wall adds extra comfort to the interior.

Setting up small rooms – practical living advice

Here are some tips on how a little room can be set up perfectly and which common mistakes you should avoid. Focus on the positive aspects of the apartment: this small loft has a beautiful view, which is shown to best advantage through the curtains. Adapt the apartment to your personal needs; here, for example, the owner hides the washer and dryer in a walk-in closet. Avoid separating the different areas of the house and instead set up an open living space. Transparent glass furniture, such as a table or plastic chairs, can make the room look visually larger. Decorate the small apartment with colorful home accessories, such as decorative pillows on the couch.
