With this letter I am sending you my solution for reconstruction of your living room and kitchen.
As you will see in my drawings, I changed the position of an entrance door (since you got permission for that) to get one nice flow and connection between kitchen, dinning room and living room. When you enter your apartment there is a small entrance hall divided by tiny wooden slats from living room, where you have small cupboard for shoes, place with mirror and small shelve for keys. On the left side from the entrance I put a new doors that lead to bedrooms and bathrooms, and by that you also have nice distinction between private/intimate zone and public zone of the apartment. Living room is organized so that it has less furniture and much more space and light. It has TV set, book shelves that can also be designed with working desk if necessary, sitting/relaxing area with sofa and armchairs. On the entrance to the dinning room, I removed little peace of construction wall to get more light and wider/more representative entrance and connection to dinning area and kitchen. In that case, leading beam above has to be strengthened in a proper way. Dining table is big enough for 2-4 persons to eat. It is nicely connected to the kitchen bar where in some special occasion two more chairs can be added for eating. Next to the dining table there is a space for cupboards and closet where you can storage some things like books, dishes, clothes, kitchen equipment, food or even it is possible to have laundry set inside of it. Between kitchen and dining room there is a glass zig zag wall so that kitchen has option to be closed and divided from dining room, depends of the situations. Also, if you cook and don't want smells to go to the rest of the apartment it is more convenient to close the kitchen. Kitchen itself has all necessary equipment like small storage, fridge, sink, place for washing machine, oven and kitchen bar. I kept the exit to terrace outside.
By this floor plan disposition, apartment is much more opened and function is set to the next level. Since some walls are removed, light easily gets to all spaces. Walking lines are also more clear and logical.
When it comes to the interior design style apartment is imagined in minimalistic Boho style with touch of classic style. I chose very bright colors, and put less furniture in order to 'refresh' the space and get more brightness. Materials I proposed are: very light creamy oak flooring, white and creamy oak plywood/mediapan for furniture, light beige fabrics for sofa and dining chairs, light brown leather for armchairs, Scandinavian rug with patterns. There are also details such as cushions, lamps, plants, and artworks.
As an extra thing, I made Sketch-up 3d model, so that you can understand better my solution, as well as mood board for interior design with pictures of materials and furniture that you can find in attachments.
Thank you so much for your attention and I hope you will love it.
