Features of the repair of a one-room apartment with an area of ​​40 sq. m in a new building

The design of a one-room apartment has certain difficulties, the main of which is the limited area. If one person lives in the apartment, it will not be difficult to think over a comfortable space for him.

• Furniture. Try changing the furniture first. To do this, set a budget, take all the necessary measurements, determine the style and your needs. Never start furnishing a room and a kitchen at the same time.
• Zoning. Select all the zones and think about how you can separate them - conditionally or physically.
• Redecorating. It is enough to change the color of the walls and floor, textiles, lighting - and the apartment will sparkle with new colors.
