| One of the disadvantages of living in an overpopulated city relies on the rationalization of space and the high cost of the square meter. Another one is that in the metropolis, a fashion and culture core, trends are abundant and they establish like 20th century Latin-American dictatorships and, what is new today, will be no longer tomorrow (this is the 1920’s artistic avant-garde paradox, now called historical avant-gardes). How to maintain ourselves updated, contemporary? If we accept that the word cool is an empty category that must be filled, we will understand the reason why we end up accumulating objects that have become obsolete or out of date (ironically, the more modern the object is, the faster it will become old, and so, after a year –to be optimistic an not to say six months or two- we must purchase a new mobile phone for ours, new and now old, is G3 and not G4: the fatality of numbers is inevitable). Next, we will analyze the best options to furnish reduced spaces, keeping in mind as well current interior design trends and furniture fashion; fashions and trends that, luckily, are kept stable for a longer period of time. When it is about apartments and small apartments, one of the biggest challenges relies in furnishing a 1 bedroom and a 2 bedroom apartment (bathroom, kitchen and two rooms): to unite spaces and turning them multifunction and polyvalent. Obviously, the bathroom will still be a bathroom and the kitchen a kitchen; the majority will as well use a room as a bedroom and the second room as a living and dining room. To optimize house spacing functionality is indispensable. To optimize house spacing intelligently, besides functionality we will also use illusion: the illusion of space and spaciality. -Transparent Glass Furniture –in spite of black furniture being the imposing trend- comes in hand to help generating the illusion of spaciality and to complement it with functionality, a transparent or frosted extending table . Depending on room angles, a round table (not extending), a square table or a rectangular table can be used. -Making the most out of corners: Corners are the most untamable spaces, especially when trying to furnish them. Nevertheless, there is furniture specifically designed for cornered spaces. Placing a corner TV Stand might be –depending on the room- a strategic election: in this angle you can increase TV visibility from every point in the room. It is also to be kept in mind the height of the furniture: low TV Stands will not only be more comfortable for keeping your eyes leveled with the TV but will as well reduce the wall space used by both the stand an the TV. A corner PC Desk is also a useful way to optimize space and, for students, a PC desk with shelving for books, folders and photocopies. |
