Firstly, it is imperative to draw up a work plan, decide on design solutions, and think about purchasing materials.
The first stage will be the preparation of premises for construction work. Oddly enough, but you need to start the whole process with the arrangement of furniture. To do this, print out the technical plan of housing in several copies. On these leaves, you can create a new look with several options for arranging objects. Be sure to think about this question, as all further steps will depend on it. It is better to leave a minimum of furniture that you really will constantly use - daily and many times. The rest of the interior items - for example, various decorative elements, as well as furniture for rare use (mezzanines, and so on) should be placed as compactly as possible.

More about furniture
The choice of all items should be based on compactness and versatility. Do not forget about stylistic harmony - when choosing a country-style interior, you can not furnish the premises with high-tech furniture. Such a discrepancy will destroy harmony and constantly remind of itself with the spoiled appearance of the rooms.
A few words should also be said about the arrangement. A one-room apartment is definitely not suitable for large, space-occupying furniture walls and beds. With this choice, you will constantly feel discomfort and lack of free space.

For odnushki functional not massive furniture is suitable
For small rooms, the ideal option would be modern built-in furniture or tables, beds, transforming kitchens. Such interior items can be easily removed after use. If you need a lot of space for storing various things in the room, turn your attention to compact, beautiful slide walls.

If you still need a closet, you should give preference to furniture with mirrored doors. This accent will help maintain the impression of a larger area.
