Reader’s question

"I would like your help. We are about to redecorate our house by making some changes. I attach a draft I have done. The pieces of furniture in the living room and the bedroom are the existing ones. On the floor plan you can see where we plan to locate the kitchen; it is an area 3.00 x3.60m. As you can see on the space layout the only position for the fireplace is opposite the sofa.

1. The big problem is that I would like to somehow separate the kitchen from the living room. I am thinking the fireplace to be perpendicular to the sofa turning back to the kitchen with a drywall construction from floor to ceiling. It is the only solution I can think of and I would your opinion.

How to arrange a small bedroom for a boy and a girl?

ADVICE

Reader’s question

"I have 2 children (a boy and a girl) and a really small nursery (only 8m2)! Beyond the obvious solution to make the other bedroom nursery which is slightly larger what other option do I have? Could such a small room accommodate different sex children? We have spent endless hours seeking for children's furniture to meet our needs!! Thank you in advance."

Our recommendation

Area of 8m2 is too small to comfortably accommodate the needs of two children. On the other hand, coexistence of different sex children is not a matter of the space size, as the expectation is different desires and activities and harmonious coexistence in the same space should be fulfilled.
Beds should be arranged in such a way to allow maximum free space for children's activities.
