How to turn a studio apartment into a two-room apartment

Studio apartment is a budget option of your own housing. But often in them it is impossible to be two people or more. Some designers suggest making a two-room apartment out of the studio. How to do this?

Kitchen

It should not take up much space so that there is more space for the residential part. Thus, the refrigerator can be built into wardrobes, the window sill can be used as a place for cooking, and for lunch a table can be laid out or a tabletop can be pulled out.

Living room

The living room is not overloaded with furniture, it should have one roomy shelf along the wall. The living room is separated by a partition from the front door. During the day, the room serves as a living room, and at night it transforms into a bed and the room becomes a bedroom.

Children

The second room can be designed for a child. The brightest corner in the apartment is reserved for her. In order for sunlight to be present in the remaining parts of the room, it is necessary to make partitions with an upper transparent layer. In the second room you can put a desk, a small sofa, a box with toys.

Alternatives

Zoning of a studio apartment can be done using visual effects. For example, furniture is used for this. First you need to draw the desired boundaries of each room, and then determine what items for zoning can be put: it can be cabinets, sofas, shelving, bar counters. Thus, the borders become a functional element of the apartment.

The sliding wardrobe is always custom-made, so it can be of any width and thickness, suitable for the desired space. You can order a design in which the cabinet on each side is functional. A simpler way of zoning is to install a rack, which also plays a decorative role and can be used to store interior elements. After setting the boundaries, it is necessary in each separate part of the apartment to install additional light sources - lamps and floor lamps.

Plasterboard partition

First you need to take care of the redistribution of light in the apartment, if the room has one window. Either additional light sources are created in the separated room, or an opening under the window is made in the drywall.

In order not to mount massive doors in plasterboard partitions, you can do with decorative curtains for doorways. Drywall sheets are attached to metal profiles, after the structure is revetted.
