The concept of a studio apartment appeared at the beginning of the last century in the United States. The first studio apartments appeared in the vastness of our country in the early 90s and they became a very popular solution. This is due to the fact that by combining an apartment into a single space, we increase its functionality. However, such a combination can have negative consequences. What kind? Let’s take a closer look.
Benefits
First of all, by combining the kitchen with the room, we get a lot of free space where the walls and doors were. In addition to the actual increase in area, the visual volume of the room will seriously change. If we need to separate the part of the room where the sleeping area is located, we can use a sliding interior partition. They look great and are very easy to use..
Main disadvantages
Of course, by removing the wall, we deprive ourselves of the opportunity to retire. If the kitchen area is large enough and the appropriate furniture is installed there, it can be used as a semblance of a separate room. Another drawback is the spread of odors and smoke from the kitchen to the living area of the studio apartment, however, this problem can be partially solved by installing a powerful ventilation or exhaust system..
Legal aspects
Before deciding to combine a kitchen with a room, it is better to find out in detail whether the redevelopment will be legal. You can get all the permits yourself, but it will be easier to entrust this to the organization that will carry out repairs in your apartment, they will do it faster and possibly cheaper.
The financial side of the issue
Many people think that by making repairs with redevelopment on our own, we can save a lot. But it is not always the case. The best solution would be to order redevelopment from professionals. The prices for such services are quite reasonable. The company will help you not only develop a suitable plan, but competently and quickly carry out repair work.
