How good a house can you live in in 35 square meters?

This number makes people shake their heads when they hear it. This is probably one of the smallest areas that Zhufaner has encountered since it started renovating houses for everyone.


This 35-square-meter cottage is located in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and cost more than 2 million yuan.

The owner of the house, Mo Xingxing, is a girl born in the 1990s. Like most young people who have moved to Beijing, she has rented a house in Beijing for many years.

In the past two years, I have always had an idea in my mind.Want to have a stable residence of your own, and have looked at many houses one after another. Finally, I decided on this place to live with my lover and pet. The area is not a problem, and the small home is also warm and healing.


The original apartment layout was two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a large foyer, an old-style Beijing residential layout.

The designer made some changes to it, connecting the second bedroom, kitchen and entrance hall, leaving only one bedroom.It is an open and coherent living, dining and kitchen, and even has an island counter.

The master bedroom is also planned as a multi-functional suite, integrated with a bathroom, and the clothes-drying function of the balcony is replaced by a washing and drying unit. The traditional balcony is transformed into a work area + pet area, full of life.

A square area is also separated in the master bedroom, which serves as a corridor from the living room to the bedroom, and is also the location of the secondary laundry area, dressing area, and laundry area.

all in all,This 35㎡ is really a multifunctional transformationIt has many things that many large apartments do not have, and it is worth learning for every small apartment!


Living room, dining room and kitchen integrated


Less than 1㎡Sunken Space, which not only blocks dust but also protects privacy, and clearly defines the location of the entrance hall.

The custom-made entrance cabinet on the right side is used to store shoes for all seasons.Detachment, storage space is not a problem.

The bottom of the cabinet is designed to be suspended, making it very convenient to change into slippers when entering the door.

There are open compartments and drawers in the middle, where you can place your mobile phone, keys, scissors, masks, chargers, etc.

On the left hand side is a non-removable load-bearing wall with a thoughtful full-length mirror mounted on the wall, which makes it convenient for the homeowner to tidy up her clothes and makeup before going out.



From the entrance into the house,The small, closed kitchen in the original apartment was opened up with the original second bedroom., made into an open style, becoming today's integrated living, dining and kitchen model.



Usually, the impression isKitchens are the worst hit areas for small apartments that are dirty and messyXingxing has lived in her home for more than half a year, and her kitchen is still very tidy, because she is willing to spend a lot of time and effort on this space.

The cabinet is customized with the entrance cabinet, which fits perfectly without leaving any dead corners.Skin-feel cabinet doorIt has a great touch, is easy to clean, and does not easily leave stains.

The entire kitchen countertop is made of large solid wood panels, which greatly enhances the texture and instantly makes the ordinary cream style more advanced.

Also didHigh and low table design, washing vegetables won’t tire your waist, and the hot steam from cooking won’t hit your face.



Many people think that island counters are exclusive to large apartments. Xingxing’s home’s integrated living, dining and kitchen area of ​​about 15 square meters not only has room for an island counter, but also makes a great comeback with it.

This multifunctional island is not only a dining area, but also an area for cutting and preparing vegetables, and it also serves as the dividing line between the kitchen and the living room.

On the kitchen side, the island is equipped with drawers and cabinets to supplement kitchen storage. It also has a built-in microwave and oven, providing more cooking methods.



The other sideHidden removable dining table, fully unfolded, it is 1㎡, which is enough for two people to dine. The island is also equipped with corresponding sockets, which is very convenient for eating electric hot pot and electric grilled skewers.



The layout of the living room is very simple, with a small and comfortable sofa and aJapanese refrigerator with thin skin and big filling, placed between the sofa and the cabinet, the size is just right.

On the radiator is a storage board that Xingxing purchased online.It is usually used to place remote controls, mobile phones, tissues and other small items, which supplements the storage space next to the sofa and also has a certain effect of concealing ugliness.




Many small apartments place great emphasis on storage in the early stages of design, sometimes even sacrificing appearance and corridors.Let human activity space give way to storage space

Xingxing's home is not like that. The furniture selection is very simple, with only a small low cabinet in the living room, leaving more aisle space so that people and cats can have a larger range of activities.



Master Bedroom Suite


The master bedroom occupies about half of the entire house.Through regional division, it is built into a multifunctional suite, which is very worthy of reference for small apartments.

A small bed against the wall is approximately level with the balcony wall. The bed is also a box bed with powerful storage function, which can hold some bedding.




A whole wall of custom wardrobes.Two layers of clothes rails inside, can hold more clothes and improve storage efficiency.

The cabinet doors are specially made into more space-saving folding doors., can be fully opened, making it convenient to take items, and it does not occupy the aisle when open.



The balcony continues the high-end log style.The bay window is covered with a large board, matched with a wooden desk, rattan office chair, and elegant wooden blinds, a small office area is created. Although the area is small, it does not affect the comfort and style.



The pet area opposite the office area is a paradise for two cats. Wooden perforated boards are used to create a space for the cats to play. Climbing from the stairs to the bay window to bask in the sun is their favorite lazy time.



In the bedroomHidden bathroomWhen we first entered, we couldn’t find it unless we looked carefully.

Pushing open the barn door, what appears before your eyes is a small and exquisite bathing space, which not only has a shower area, but also a Japanese bathtub where you can sit and take a bath.

bathroom


No matter how small the apartment is, dry and wet separation is required, placing the washbasin outside is the most basic.

Xingxingjia has achieved the separation of the shower area, toilet area, wash area and laundry area. In addition to the traditional upper cabinets and bottom cabinets of the bathroom cabinets, the sides are not wasted. The thin cabinets in the gaps supplement the countertop storage and internal storage.

It is worth mentioning that in order to make the space division more obvious and give a sense of continuity, the floor tiles here are designed into irregular patterns. Dozens of hexagonal tiles are dotted with wood-grain tiles, which are beautiful and unique.



When the beautiful retro bathroom door is opened, the toilet area is very simple. The round toilet is not expensive, but it is very harmonious and adds color.


corridor


The original master bedroom was larger, but its utilization rate was not high. The designer divided a square area from it and created this wonderful corridor space.

It can play a roleBlocking visionThe function is that when guests come to visit, they will not be able to see the interior of the bedroom at a glance when sitting in the living room or at the dining table.


A custom cabinet was built on one side of the corridor to provide additional storage.Place three functional areas into it

first of allHousekeeping AreaThe integrated washing and drying machine solves the problem of hanging clothes, and there is also a sweeping robot at the bottom for easy cleaning.

followed bySecondary clean areaI specially made an open clothesline to put clothes that I have worn once or twice, and jackets for going out.

FinallyDressing Table, very mini, yet still exquisite.



The other side is used as an aisle. There are thin bookshelves, small ladders and cat scratching toys placed against the wall. Medals earned through hard work are hung on the wall. Xingxing feels particularly satisfied every time he passes by this area.


The bedroom door is also thoughtfully madePet doorDesign, cats can move freely throughout the area even when the door is closed.


The size of the house is always the first thing we consider when buying or decorating a house.

Who wouldn’t want a bigger apartment if they could? As long as you can afford it, the bigger the better.

But while a big house is good, a small house does not necessarily mean a bad house. They are all carefully selected by us and are the ones that best meet our expectations for the future and embody our aspirations for life.

Readers who have been following us for a long time know that Zhufaner has had many small apartment renovation cases. We always believe thatThe purpose of residential design is not to show off the designer's skills, butWe put ourselves in the shoes of each homeowner and create the most satisfying home for her.

35㎡ limits the floor space, but it cannot limit the infinite design possibilities, nor can it limit the homeowner’s thriving lifestyle.
