Three ideas for creating multifunctional spaces
Practicality is one of the current keywords, even when talking about the real estate sector. More and more people are looking for practical and at the same time comfortable environments. Furthermore, in a scenario with so many real estate dimensions, it is important to be aware of how to create optimized spaces.
According to data from the Brazilian Society of Heritage Studies (EMBRAESP), only in the city of Sao Paulo The average size of up to one-bedroom units has dropped 40% in a decade, from 46.1 m² to 27.5 m² in 2021.
Thinking in this context, Sandra NitaArchitect and Product Specialist at Vila 11, lists three tips to follow multifunctional spacesthat is, ensuring that environments have more than one function.
Camouflage environments
Strategically creating a two-in-one space is a way to generate more space and, at the same time, make spaces cleaner.
“An excellent idea is, for example, to take advantage of a corridor that is a place of passage and place furniture that hides a service area where there is an ironing board and also a washing machine. In everyday life or when residents receive visitors, these items are stored, but space can be created when needed, simply by opening the cupboards,” explains Nita.
Furniture with more than one function
According to the architect, there are several pieces of furniture that have a more neutral appearance, which allows them to perform more than one function.
“Will that extra room in the house be used as an office or to receive guests? It can be for both occasions. You can find desks that can be used for working but also for storing your things, just as there are beds that can transform into sofas. Using your imagination and purchasing the right furniture allows you to create strategic environments”, he explains.
Furniture that divides rooms
Especially smaller properties tend to have multiple rooms in the same space without structural divisions, for example the living room together with the kitchen without a wall. A solution in these cases is to use furniture that helps divide the spaces.
“A table, a sofa or a bookcase can help divide spaces in a natural way and without damaging them, since they are essential elements. The advice is to measure each piece of furniture and position them intelligently”, concludes Nita.
