STEP ONE
Three layouts were offered to choose from.
PLAN # 1
Hall: a pouf at the entrance, a wardrobe along the long wall, opposite the wardrobe - two floor-to-ceiling mirrors on the sides of the bathroom door. The kitchen set is separated from the hall by a small partition.
Bathroom: with a hanging cabinet for washing, a corner bath, a washing machine built into a cabinet with a storage system for household chemicals, a hanging toilet in the center, a shower room in the corner on the right.
Kitchen-living room: with two sofas, in the center of the wall opposite the TV, a stereo system is built into the niches at the edges. On the left - a table for four, a corner kitchen set, a bar counter and a pouf by the panoramic window, a wall-mounted cat play complex by the door to the bedroom.
Work area: Along the far wall with a long work table
Bedroom: double doors, bed, makeup dressing table in front of the window, armchair, sideboards.
PLAN # 2
Hall: remove part of the partition separating the kitchen from the hall, built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers with a mirror to the left of the entrance, opposite the pouf.
Kitchen: dining table as an extension of the kitchen set.
Living room: install a TV in the middle against the wall, opposite - a large corner sofa and a coffee table, reduce the working table and separate it from the living area with a decorative partition. Place chairs with a table near the panoramic window, remove the podium.
Bedroom: turn the bed with the foot to the door, thus freeing up part of the space. Make the door to the bedroom single-leaf. Chest of drawers and dressing table on either side of the door.
Bathroom: move the washing machine to the sink, separate the shower cubicle with a partition, install a rectangular bath in the left corner, a toilet bowl in the right corner of the room, above the installation-cabinet.
PLAN # 3
Bedroom: double doors returned, furniture arrangement as in option # 2
Bathroom - walk-through, entrance from the hall and from the bedroom, make the door to the bathroom from the bedroom side sliding, secret installation.
The customers chose the third option as the basis.
In the hall, try to change the configuration of the wardrobe, a pouf with shoe shelves.
I liked the kitchen with a separate island, the decorative partition between the hall and the kitchen.
Living room from option # 3, with a linear sofa, as an option, the desk can be made separate.
Bedroom - furniture arrangement as in option # 3, with a secret door to the bathroom.
Bathroom option # 3, spacious and with closed storage, bathtub and shower.
They decided to abandon the catwalk and wall-mounted play complex for cats.
PLAN # 4 FINAL
Hall: To the left of the entrance - a built-in wardrobe with a straight break in the center. On the right is a pouf with shoe shelves and a console. Two mirrors to the floor. Make the bathroom door a secret, hinged type.
Kitchen: Move kitchen appliances from the island to the column. We leave the decorative partition as in option # 3, in the center of the bar is an island.
Living room: a straight sofa with a coffee table, a TV in front of the sofa, lengthen the chest of drawers to use the entire wall, build in an electric fireplace. Do not sheathe the metal supporting columns behind the sofa, use it as decor and build in linear lighting. Remove the wall-mounted play complex, replace with a chest of drawers with upper cabinets.
The working table is angular, but separate, move closer to the sofa.
Bedroom: narrower double-leaf door, suspended ceiling (Grilyato) to hide the pipe under the ceiling.
Bathroom: bathroom from option # 3, but with minor edits - the shower area was expanded by displacing the partition, between the sink and the bathroom - a decorative glass partition. On the wall with a sink and a bathtub, make a break for embedding the lighting.
