Setting Up a Mini Apartment – Big Ideas for a Small Space

Unlocking the Potential of a Mini Apartment

With rising real estate prices and limited living space, small apartments such as micro apartments and one-bedroom units are gaining popularity. Those starting their careers in a big city or living alone often opt for a micro apartment, as it is generally more affordable than a multi-room apartment. However, even in 24 square meters, one can live comfortably. Whether it's a one-bedroom unit or a micro apartment, the goal is to create an inviting interior tailored to personal taste. Cleverly utilized nooks and sloping ceilings provide optimal storage space and functionality. When space is limited, smart prioritization is essential. Nolte offers ideal solutions by intelligently combining storage space, functionality, budget, and design. Reproductions of concrete, stone, and wood, as well as authentic materials like wood, metal, glass, lacquer, cement, and stone, elevate your home's appeal. Furnishing a small micro apartment spans from the kitchen through the hallway to the living area and bathroom, with stylish accents. We'll show you how to create a cozy micro apartment in a confined space.

Inspiration and Furnishing Ideas for Kitchens in Mini Apartments

Living in a Micro Apartment

Creating distinct living areas within a one-room apartment can be achieved through various methods. In addition to room dividers and furniture, colors, flooring, and lighting elements can also be used to create visual distinctions. For instance, a rug or a colored flooring can separate the living area from other zones. Similarly, targeted lighting for each area can create a cozy atmosphere while simultaneously giving the illusion of separate zones.

The clever use of light and mirrors can create an illusion of spaciousness even in confined spaces. By incorporating additional indirect light sources, an inviting atmosphere is created, and the space appears more generous – an effect that cannot be achieved with overhead lighting alone. This creative lighting transforms small spaces into cozy and visually expanded environments.

Cozy Retreat in the Micro Apartment

The space in a bathroom in a micro-apartment is often limited. It is all the more important to find compact solutions that still meet all requirements and offer many possibilities. Flexible cabinet systems make it possible to seamlessly integrate the washing machine into the bathroom, and vanity base cabinets with practical pull-outs provide ample storage space for personal bathroom essentials. The side-incised light strips in the vanity base cabinet shelf contribute to a cozy atmosphere in the bathroom.
