Existing Condition of the Space
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you have a room that serves no specific purpose and ends up becoming a dumping ground for all sorts of unnecessary furniture? It's not uncommon to accumulate clutter over time, but eventually, you might find yourself wanting to reclaim that space.
By creating a beautiful and functional unit, you can transform that room into an asset that adds value to your home.

next step Sketches
Once all the requirements and needs of the project have been discussed and determined, we can move on to creating a layout and sketches to give a general understanding of the space, furniture, and equipment needed (with most of it sourced from IKEA).
In this particular project, we had a small space that needed to include a kitchen with a dining area and a convertible living area that could also serve as a sleeping place. Due to the shared nature of the bathroom, the access was made from the hallway.
For the kitchen area, an open concept was used, with square wood studs, plywood for the shelves, and sealed plywood for the countertop. IKEA boxes were used for the inserts, while the dining area was furnished with IKEA furniture (with an itemized shopping list included in the project).
The living/sleeping/office area also used open concept furniture to maximize space and avoid overcrowding. Most of the furniture was made of metal structures with glass and wood inserts, with a convertible sofa and area rug adding warmth to the space.
The kitchen area's wall finishes consisted of plywood panels, while the living area was painted. In the bathroom, a tiled shower and backsplash were installed at the sink wall, with the rest painted. The floor in the unit remained as is, while the bathroom was tiled with regular square white porcelain.
