Removing load-bearing walls to broaden visibility
One of the effective ways to create a more spacious feeling for the apartment is to remove resistant walls, thereby widening the view between the living room, dining room and kitchen. The integrated LDK (resident - dining - kitchen) design is becoming increasingly popular, helping common living areas to be connected seamlessly instead of being separated by closed walls.
When there are no more obstacles, light can spread throughout the space, and areas that are already small are also connected into a wider and more airy overall. This arrangement is especially suitable for apartments with limited areas.
Utilizing "flexible partitions" instead of solid walls
It is not always necessary to completely break the division between areas. If you are worried about smoke and food odors or still want to ensure privacy, homeowners can use glass sliding doors with frames, dim glass walls or bars with appropriate heights.
These solutions still create relatively clear boundaries between functional areas but do not obstruct vision and lighting. Thanks to that, the space achieves the necessary privacy while still maintaining a feeling of ventilation and seamlessness.
Use multi-layered light to erase dark corners
A single ceiling lamp can make the room lack depth, especially in small spaces. Instead of relying on a central light source, homeowners can combine multiple layers of light such as ceiling lights, LED string lights, wall lights and floor lights.
When light is reasonably distributed to the walls, corners of the room and areas that are easily obscured, dark patches will be limited. The space therefore becomes brighter, deeper and creates a more spacious feeling without having to change too much the actual area.
