The biggest layout problems are often raised by the most common apartments: two-room apartments. In new residential complexes these apartments are called studio type apartments, where the second, smaller room is used for the bedroom.
Usually, the living room is shared with the kitchen in an open space with access to a terrace or balcony.
Therefore, how do we compartmentalize such a space? How do we organize storage spaces? Is enough furniture sufficient? How do we set up a dining area? How do we handle appliances? These are all normal questions for furnishing any apartment but they need ingenious solutions for two-room ones.
Thus, we have gathered 20 layout plans for two-room apartments created by architects and designers to help you get inspired in organizing and arranging your own home.
Solutions can be found regardless of the current configuration of your apartment. The important thing is to know from the beginning what you want. Make a list of the rooms you desire based on your needs. Establishing the function of a space is key when furnishing such apartments.
This way, you will know how to compartmentalize each area and especially if you need to remove walls to improve circulation in the dwelling. It is good to know that better circulation in the apartment helps create the impression of space. You can call on the help of a specialist, architect or interior decorator who can guide you through this process so that you make the best decisions.
The functions of a space must be complementary, supporting you and not hindering you. For example, the dining area will be set up as close to the kitchen as possible so that you are not forced to carry dishes throughout the house.
If it is an open space, then the table and chairs will be placed between the kitchen and living room for a natural and coherent transition between spaces.
In a two-room apartment, the living room can fulfill several subfunctions: conversation area, reading area, relaxation area or even a work area if you want to install a desk. In families with young children, a play area can be created so that parents can supervise them.
