A charming mini apartment with mezzanine of 40 m2

In recent years we have witnessed profound transformations in the real estate market. In large cities, the price per square metre has forced people to look for new types of housing and opt for apartments or small flats. 

A problem? No, if we know how to design open layouts, enhance light and choose functional furniture.  

If living in 40 meters seems like a utopia to you, here we show you that not only can it be done, but that there are spaces as cozy as today's home tour. 

Play with color to enlarge spaces

If you have a few square meters, choose light and very soft colors, the range of neutrals is always a success. Try beiges, polka dots, grays, and all variations of white. 

In this apartment they have opted for beige tones on the walls, which give a more cozy air without overwhelming. Both the carpentry of doors and windows and the floor are white, so as not to lose light. 

The color palette is uniform throughout the house, thus achieving continuity and harmony. One of the best combinations is between the earth tones of the wall and the sofa, the carpet and the gray pouf. 

Say goodbye to partitions and hello to the light

When studying the plan of your future home, you can never overlook the height of the ceilings. In this apartment he has been key to building a mini duplex. The bedroom occupies the upper part and the bathroom and dressing room the lower part. 

The rest of the apartment is connected, the kitchen opens to the living room. In this case, to make the most of the furniture, the washing machine is moved to the bathroom, avoiding unpleasant noises. 

Finally, pay attention to how the need for a dining room has been solved. A square table, two chairs and a wall lamp for more direct light. In smaller spaces, stools and benches are a good option.

Look for practical and functional furniture

In a small house, order is always going to be a priority. Bet on boxes, baskets and accessories that allow everything to be stored and located. 

When choosing furniture, you should not be carried away by excessive minimalism, but you should choose simple and functional furniture. Even try to make them double duty like a sofa bed or easy to move around like a pouf or a side table. 

Remember that open furniture always visually lightens any space. The key is to find the balance between open shelves and sideboards that allow for better order. 

Mirrors, details and little tips that change houses 

This home tour is a perfect showcase to realize how to change your apartment with small gestures. 

Never underestimate the power of a mirror to multiply light and space. Do you want to know which is the best location? Always at eye level and in front of a window. 

In the textiles section, rugs play a central role in giving continuity to the floor and delimiting an area, as you can see in the case of the sofa. 

Finally, although it is essential to have ceiling lamps, do not forget the wall lights. If the bedroom is very narrow, as in this case, with them you can get perfect lighting without having to put a bedside table.
