Text from 2019. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
Many people, especially young ones, decide to buy or rent a small flat, e.g. a studio flat or a two-room flat of around 35 square metres. Such properties often need renovation or refreshing. Do you think a small flat cannot be functional and cosy? Discover a few tips that will help you carry out an impressive renovation of a small flat.
Make the space look bigger!
In flats with a small floor area it is important to make the space look bigger. A lot of furniture, especially bulky pieces, unfortunately makes a room look smaller. We do not want a room to seem crowded and cramped. Minimalist furnishing works well in small flats. Opt for a few pieces of furniture in a simple, classic style. Tall cabinets and wardrobes will make the floor area look bigger. It is worth thinking about multifunctional furniture, for example fold-out armchairs, a coffee table with an extra shelf, or shelves with an extra drawer. Keeping things tidy and choosing simple furniture and accessories will help bring out the potential of the interior.
Renovating a small flat in developer's standard
When people choose to buy a studio flat in Katowice, the choice often falls on properties from the primary market. This is a very good and economical solution! Why? We can arrange such flats to suit our own needs and tastes. We are not forced to knock down walls or to make do with a space designed by someone else. When we invest in a flat in shell condition, we can opt for an open kitchen, set aside a space for a bedroom and use almost every corner. In addition, we do not have to fear hidden extra costs, and negotiating the price can prove much easier than with flats from the secondary market. Mirrors are a small flat's best friend. Use this trick.
Change things with a plan
Sometimes a studio flat is renovated so cleverly that two people can live in it and feel comfortable. Renovate sensibly. Functional furniture can also serve as decoration. White will brighten the whole flat and add elegance to it. If you want to save money, you can do part of the renovation work yourself. Combine new elements with those you already own. Not only will you spend less, but you can combine styles in an interesting way.
