It can be quite a challenge making over an apartment when the square metres are few and the rooms are small. But with the right solutions, smart furniture and a lot of love, Vasia Moragianni succeeded in making the project come together.
Vasia used to live in a large four-bedroom apartment, but after a divorce had to find a new place for herself and her son Emil, replacing her spacious home with a much smaller one. “It was more important for me to live in a smaller home and be able to afford experiences and travel instead of having a large and expensive apartment. When I entered this apartment the first time, I got really good vibes. I could easily see myself and Emil living here, and I am still very happy with my decision,” says Vasia.
The many square metres that Vasia and Emil previously had were now halved and their new home had only one bedroom, a living room, and a small enclosed kitchen. Vasia had to think outside the box and put on her creative hat.
By turning the floor plan upside down, Vasia devised a room for each of them with a clever bedroom solution, as well as an all-in-one living area by knocking down the wall between the kitchen and the former bedroom next to it. It provided a large space that has now become the focal point of their family life. To keep the budget down, she put the kitchen in the open space where there’s a view of the living room and her son Emil while she cooks.
