When the design studio TOWO designed a small 40 square meter apartment in Shanghai, China, they saw that space was limited and therefore it was necessary to use creativity and imagination to design a place to live. pleasant. It’s amazing how small spaces are always a big challenge at first, but once the imagination has arrived, we can see how much they can turn into a cocoon and bright place to live. We do not need a lot of space to live comfortably.
The entire apartment has been designed with great care for the small details. The dominant colors are yellow, white and gray. While the woods and concrete that adorn the walls and furniture form a harmonious and uncluttered marriage. We will begin our virtual tour with the bedroom where we discover a raised bed design. Then we will show you the rest of the apartment: the living room, the kitchen and the entrance.
A whole room
To make the most of space, the creators of TOWO decided to create a bedroom that is unlike any other. Indeed, the bedroom represents a wooden box with raised bed, shelves and two storage cabinets. To go up to the second level, there is a small wooden staircase. A small dining area really cocoon, right?
A bedroom with raised bed that is not like the others.
As the apartment is small, the creators of TOWO decided to invest the space in height by installing the wooden bedroom on two levels. At the first level there are two large sliding wooden drawers integrated just below the bed. While on the second floor there is the bed, a few storage shelves, two bedside tables and three light fixtures – one on the ceiling and two on the wall behind the bed.
The raised bed: a smart way to optimize and organize a small space.
The two open sliding wardrobes are huge! You can really put a lot of things inside.
In the wooden box, the bed is in the center, while on the ceiling of the room, there is a panel that hides the luminaries propagating soft lighting. We also discover a lot of shelves installed on the walls. On the wall behind the bed, there are still two light fixtures and two bedside tables installed on each side of the bed.
On the other side of the bed, there is another staircase leading to a small door. These stairs also have a hidden storage in the form of drawers.
Let’s discover now the other rooms of this small chic and cocoon apartment: the bedroom, the living room and the entrance.
