Comfortable space for one person

RuckZuck advises how to arrange a single's apartment

Living alone undoubtedly has its advantages. Having the entire space to yourself and the ability to arrange it according to your own preferences guarantees independence for singles. How to arrange a place, usually of a small size, to best serve the household? RuckZuck specialists answer this question by sharing useful tips on arranging small interiors.

– Young people leaving their family homes most often choose studio or two-room apartments. Following the principle "narrow, but their own", they want to start an independent life, and the small space at the beginning of this path is not an obstacle for them. In these circumstances, it is good to emphasize the functionality of the decor, which makes even a small apartment provide comfort and freedom - says Katarzyna Śliwińska, head of the marketing and advertising department, RuckZuck.

The key aspect is the selection of furniture - it is best if their number is kept to a minimum and each component has several uses. Multifunctional furniture, the so-called "2 in 1". A bunk bed combined with a desk or a sofa with a hidden extra mattress will significantly save space. Folding chairs, an extendable table, a pouffe with storage or a bed with pull-out drawers will work perfectly here. Instead of wall units, it is worth choosing modular furniture that allows you to create various configurations. Thanks to these solutions, four corners will become a comfortable place to live for one person, and at the same time they will be ready to welcome guests.

A very important rule is to avoid or limit dark tones. Graphite, navy blue and dark brown are very elegant colors, but in the case of small interiors they should only decorate accessories. In larger quantities, they will lead to an unpleasant effect of depression. By using light, pastel colors (such as white, apricot or beige) we will achieve a fresh and friendly atmosphere.

– In the case of small apartments, every centimeter of space is valuable, so the decor should be composed very carefully and in the spirit of minimalism. Various tricks that are intended to visually enlarge the space also prove helpful. This effect can be achieved, among others: using floors, choosing light decors with a shiny structure - advises Katarzyna Śliwińska.

The Freedom Dąb Calgary and Adventure Pinia Milano panels, available from RuckZuck, will look great in a small apartment. Their whitewashed surface and glossy structure will bring shine to the interior, and thanks to the narrow boards (160 mm), they will visually expand the room.

Light also promotes optical magnification. It is worth giving up massive chandeliers in favor of subtle lamps and spotlights that will not take up additional space. The LED strip placed under the cabinets and in the recesses of the room will gently brighten the room. Another good solution is to install mirrors and 3D photo wallpapers, showing, for example, a view from a distance.
