The functionality of drywall constructions in small apartments
Small-sized apartments are notorious for being uncomfortable due to poor layout and lack of space sufficient to accommodate standard furniture sets. These shortcomings can be leveled with the help of drywall constructions.
- Wall niches, openwork partitions, shelving and shelves in the interior of the living room will help you get by with a minimal set of furniture and equipment, without overloading the room with unnecessary details. A flat-screen TV fits well into a large niche in the wall; flower vases, figurines, and sculptural compositions look great on decorative shelves.
- You can turn a one-room apartment into a kopeck piece with the help of a volumetric plasterboard partition with internal shelving, in which there is enough space for bed linen, clothes and shoes, books and albums.
- In the bedroom, ergonomic organization of space is especially necessary, since excess furniture and tightness significantly reduce the volume of air, which interferes with rest and restful sleep. Instead of huge bedroom sets in Khrushchev, it is wiser to limit yourself to a large comfortable bed, and place narrow wall racks and drywall cabinets along the walls, convenient for storing bed linen and clothing.
- Shelving and niches, cabinets and partitions help to win several meters of usable area in the nursery. In the baby's room, securely fixed, safe multifunctional structures look great, in which you can place everything you need. Bright fragments of favorite cartoons, placed on shelves with internal illumination opposite the crib, will help the child overcome night fears.
- The computer desk by the window in the teenager's room works well with a small niche in the wall that fits the monitor. On the shelves inside the partition you can place books, notebooks, stationery, models of fantastic ships and car models.
Built-in spot and LED light sources fit perfectly into wall and ceiling structures.
How to fit drywall constructions into small kitchens and bathrooms
Lightweight plasterboard structures play an important role in organizing the space of a small kitchen, where shelves built into the walls perfectly replace large cabinets for dishes, products, and kitchen equipment. Suspended, wall and floor structures made of waterproof drywall visually expand the room and do not interfere with the penetration of natural light.
Wall niches and drywall shelves will help save space in a tiny hallway by replacing bulky hangers, voluminous wardrobes and shoe cabinets.
Tiny bathrooms and toilets, as well as combined bathrooms in Khrushchev, do not accommodate even a small part of the furniture sets, although for convenience, linen containers, cabinets for cosmetics and hygiene products, washing powders and other items are needed. The interiors of small bathrooms and toilets can be supplemented with:
- roomy ergonomic plasterboard wall racks:
- narrow floor cabinets;
- hanging shelves for cosmetics, equipped next to a niche for a mirror.
Drywall constructions - stands for ornamental plants, cabinets for storing inventory and various small things - can be placed on a closed balcony or loggia.
Important! On an ordinary open balcony, it is better to refuse drywall products, because even the most waterproof drywall will warp under the influence of sudden changes in temperature and air humidity.
Design of plasterboard structures in large apartments
The advantages of large apartments are quite obvious. Huge areas will not lose anything when installing luxurious multi-level and combined with stretch ceilings with mortise and suspended curly elements in the form of cubes, spheres, flower arrangements. Extremely popular are multi-level ceiling structures based on columns built into walls or located separately in functional areas.
A two- or three-level ceiling design with stained glass inserts, under which lighting fixtures are located, looks very elegant. Similar stained-glass windows can be used to decorate wall racks, figured interior partitions.
A demanded design is an arch, the variety of configurations of which allows using this element in interiors decorated in classical, modern, oriental (Indian, Ottoman or Arabic, Moroccan), Gothic and neo-Gothic, British (Modern) styles. A rounded or oval arched structure adorns the doorway between rooms, a fragment of a wall or the lower level of the ceiling, window openings.
The types of drywall structures in the interior of a spacious living room, photos of which will help you create similar structures in your own apartment with your own hands, are extremely diverse. Based on the samples provided by the designers, you can come up with and create an original project that will make the interior unique.
