For me, some small houses sometimes make me feel very warm and ignited. Recently, I saw a couple rented apartment, which is really for my appetite, so I will share it with you today~
After Maggie and Jesse got married two years ago, they moved into this small house in Brooklyn, New York. The entire house area is only 700 square feet, which is about 65 square meters, which is an old apartment with one bedroom and one living room.
Don’t think that the area of this apartment is very small, but the couple rented it for a lot of money - the price of US$2,400 (about 17,000 yuan) is already the limit that the couple can bear! So, what's the excellence of this small house? Without further ado, let’s take a look~
small entrance hall connects three spaces
After pushing the door into the home, it is an aisle entrance that connects the utility room, bathroom and living room areas.
▲The layout in the small entrance hall
Many old houses of this type actually do not have a space for specially designed entrance halls, but the couple still used this space.
- The bathroom is opposite the door of the house, the kitchen is on the left, and the living room area is on the right. The small entrance connects three spaces.
- In a limited space, the couple uses the vertical space to realize the function of the entrance by installing hooks and dressing mirrors on the door.
- After the two of them moved in, they removed the doors in the living room and the entrance hall and replaced them with shaped door frames, which increased lighting and was also good in decorativeness.
Old classical style living room
Enter the indoor living space, the classical style of the living room is eye-catching.
▲Piano in the living room
Entering the living room, he did not see the "classic" sofa, coffee table, and TV wall combination. What he saw was a piano, paired with the record disc storage cabinet and record player next to it, giving the living room space a classic charm.
Maggie and Jesse are painters and the other are musicians. They do not have the habit of watching TV on weekdays, but need a space for practicing piano and painting, so they arranged the living room space like this. This concept of decorating their own living habits is deeply loved by me.
▲The yellow coral velvet sofa
- This classical sense of decoration continues to the entire living room. All the furniture and decorations are a bit "old", abandoning exaggeration and returning to the natural decoration, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.
Take this yuy velvet sofa as an example. I personally feel that it is the finishing touch of this living room, bringing a bit of soft colors to the living room of this home, and the warmth is doubled.
Oh, right, in the corner of the living room, the couple also used an open bookshelves and a single sofa to set up a casual reading corner. The bookshelf was filled with novels and picture albums that the couple liked, and the old floral sofa also contributed to the classical atmosphere of the living room.
Excellent lighting bedroom
Enter the bedroom from the small door next to the sofa, and the interior lighting is excellent.
Since the bedroom is at the corner of this apartment building, there are windows on the head of the bed and on the side, which not only adds excellent ventilation to the interior, but also makes the lighting in the bedroom very full.
I have to say that for this type of small apartment, excellent lighting is always the best way to relieve the climax.
▲The layout of the bedroom
In addition, this 65㎡ home only has one bedroom and one living room. This small area is more than enough for couples to live in, so the layout of the bedroom is actually not crowded, but there is a lot of blank space, and the details are remarkable. On the side of the bed of
, there is a electronic piano with double-row key and an easel. Maggie and Jesse can compose and draw in the bedroom, which is in line with their living habits; and a set of low cabinets at the end of the bed replaces the traditional large wardrobe, and stacking clothes for the two of them is enough.
enclosed kitchen with small dining table
is different from many Western-style open kitchens, and the kitchen in this old house has an enclosed layout.
In the kitchen, the classical sense of home decoration still exists. You can see various decorative paintings, newspaper clippings, and art paintings framed with retro picture frames, adding a bit of artistic atmosphere to the narrow and cramped kitchen, and it looks unique.
▲Folding small dining table
Folding dining table is placed against the wall. On weekdays, it is a double-sized dining table for Maggie and Jesse to have dinner. If guests visit, the dining table can be expanded, and up to six people are seated. Although it is a bit crowded, its functionality is also good. On the dining table of
, the couple also specially retained the previously decorated small hanging cabinet, which stores some dishes and tableware inside, which can also have a good hidden storage effect and avoid messy feeling.
▲The layout of kitchen countertop space
The layout of kitchen countertop space is also very interesting - the main cabinet space is only embedded in a large single-slot sink, leaving an area for cutting vegetables next to it. The hanging cabinet and the bottom cabinet are matched with each other, and can also store dishes, dishes, bottles, jars, and jars, and will not appear messy.
At the same time, the couple also used the longitudinal spaces of the hanging cabinet, the side of the refrigerator, and the bottom of the hanging cabinet to hang or use magnetic suction to absorb some condiments and storage baskets, making the use of the kitchen space more flexible.
As for the stove, it is placed opposite the cabinet, just using the small corner by the window, the integrated oven stove is paired with a vegetable-cut countertop cabinet. The simple layout meets the daily cooking needs of the couple, which is very good~
"Mingwei" with a bathtub
The bathroom in the house is a Mingwei with good lighting.
The couple said that they decided to live here at the beginning, which was largely related to this bathroom. This practical and comfortable bathroom layout is much better than many of the same old houses.
A shower curtain separates the bathtub and the toilet area. The simple dry and wet partition makes cleaning and care much more worry-free, and without making a separate bathroom, it also saves space in the bathroom.
Finally, a small square sink is placed at the corner of the bathroom, providing space for daily washing, which looks small and practical~
Summary of the article at the end of the article
In short, the home of this couple is really comfortable! Personally, I prefer the excellent lighting, elegant texture, and just the right white space and decoration in the interior. I wonder what you think of these decorations?
One more comment! This house is really expensive to rent, $2,400... Do you think it's worth it? ~
Thanks for reading!
