In this article you will find design ideas for narrow rooms and kitchens!
In New York, Boston, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo – wherever a square meter is incredibly expensive, “arrow houses”, “skinny houses”, in other words, narrow houses are becoming increasingly popular. Initially, they shaped urban development, but later the trend spread to country houses. This is understandable: it’s cheaper to build a narrow house, you don’t need to rent a lot of land for it, even build it on a tree. This means that more money can be spent on internal improvements or, which is more typical of the Western mentality, on investments. This is a reverse mortgage: instead of paying crazy interest, you receive it, invest it again, and save it. And then you buy a large family house (if, of course, you need it by that time) or a property for children.
Especially in the kitchen – only the essentials!
By the way, if the furniture matches the color of the walls, it will visually expand the space.
The spot placement of lamps and fixtures always gives a special coziness and, what is important, corrects the proportions of the room.
When the house is tall and narrow, it is logical to place the sleeping area at the top. It is convenient if it is just a mattress without a frame, which saves space and makes it easier to install such a bed.
By placing a sofa or bed on a podium, you can create excellent storage spaces.
A portable staircase in a narrow house is necessary both to climb up to the bedroom and for comfortable interaction with cabinets that are located high up.
If the staircase is stationary, then it will also be used as much as possible (as a closet, for example).
They are also made narrow and long and are used if you need to fit a kitchen, living room and bedroom in one room.
It is better to place the dining table along the wall. By the way, it can be folding.
