Hi guys,
I live in this apartment, with my husband and two boys aged 4 and 9. The apartment is about 90 sq meters and we would like to have ideas to organize at the best the space of our “Living”.
The apartment is at the fifth floor of a building of seven and has a balcony of about 24 sq meters. Unfortunately one of the things that penalizes it is the light, which comes from only one side, that is exposed to the northwest; so any solution that would make it brighter is appreciated.
Living area
The apartment is composed by a living area with a “closed” kitchen, a double bedroom, a standard bedroom and two bathrooms (both with no windows). We do not want to renew the sleeping area (bedroom and bathroom), but only the living area.
Bathroom
I would like to renew the bathroom because we hope to enlarge the shower cabin and, if possible find some ideas to filter a bit ‘of light inside. I would like to have some closet or other ideas where “hide” the robes… I do not like to have them on sight.
Required
– bigger shower cabin
Nice to have:
– Wardrobe for robes/towels
– More light inside
Kitchen
– We’d like to evaluate some projects with kitchen open to living area (not sure if there is room for a peninsula/island…) without having to modify existing furniture.
Living
I would totally change furnishings.
Required
– Sitting area with a sofa corner (sofa bed) to relax in front of the TV (we have a 48′ TV set) or to play with game console
– Dining table for 6 (we do not like either glass, plastic or round tables)
– A work area that can accommodate a monitor (24’) with keyboard and two laptops.
– Furniture with both open space for books, and closed space for other stuff
– A cupboard (the house is not *huge* and we need storage space)
Nice to have:
– Dressing room/closet or something to put coats and bags inside on entry
We’d like to have also ideas for lighting.
We would not replace the living room floor that is Iroko parquet. The parquet is in all rooms except kitchen and bathrooms.
We like modern and essential style, with attention for details.
We’d like to hide the blacks panels that you see in the pictures which are for house electrical panels.
In attach you can find plants with schemas for electrical/water and heating circuits.
Thank you and good luck for the contest!
