In the living room put big cabinet to ceiling with several departments and the greatest possible capacity. It can seem illogical, bulky furniture takes a lot of place, but in small rooms there has to be very accurate system of storage without which the heap of things will create illusion of chaos. The cabinet can be built in or ordered on special design for bigger convenience of installation, and it is possible to store in it not only clothes and bedding, but also footwear, headdresses, household appliances, suitcases and various objects for favourite hobby. Whenever possible, especially if height of ceilings allows, try to use the principles of multilevelness. In the living room hang up regiments with books and decorative elements over sofa, the TV and table. In the nursery put bunk bed or order furniture set with berth over children's cabinet or work table. Get sofas and chairs folding, and table – sliding that will allow to make room for friendly meetings and noisy holidays.
Try not to fill excessively with furniture the small room, the option at which free are not less than 50 percent of floor is considered ideal.
If desired the wall between the room and corridor can be removed if it allows planning. In this case under the hall the small corner of one wall will be taken away, and all other space will serve for increase in the area of housing. As for color, you remember that dark shades visually reduce the room, and light on the contrary – increase. Try to avoid wall-paper with the bright large drawing, the exception can be made only for some photowall-paper which looks as window to other room, so increase space.
Registration of kitchen in the small apartment
The problem of small metric area in kitchen can be solved by individual design of complete kitchen and the competent organization of working space. Install the built-in household appliances, and choose such which has more functions, for example oven which can work as the microwave oven.
For increase in working surface expand and use windowsill, and under it equip several shelves. Refuse traditional table with angular sofa in favor of bar counter and chairs.
Try to use colors warm neutral, avoid drawings and patterns. It is possible to use mirror strips instead of apron and as decorative elements as mirrors help to increase space visually. But it is desirable to cover the reflecting surfaces with special structure repellent dirt and fat, otherwise the mirror will become dim soon and will look carelessly. If family at you small try to manage the small-sized fridge and kitchen cabinet which take less places.

Get used to wash under it you very quickly, and spaces it will become much bigger. If you cannot provide the life without acceptance of bathtub, then get it a little smaller size. Your comfort will almost not suffer, and such model can be established not lengthways, and across the room that it will make it is more spacious. The sewage pipe and water distributings can be established plastic and to build in in walls, previously having hollowed in them openings. Thickness of many walls especially in apartments of old construction quite allows to make it. Then you will be able accurately to close up the arisen roughnesses and receive smooth wall without the sticking-out pipes.
Do not forget about mirrors, they can be established two on opposite walls, then numerous reflections will create illusion of big space.
The washing machine for the purpose of economy of the place it is possible to arrange under sink, previously having hidden pipes in wall and having provided protection against course.
