Suggested design styles suitable for small houses

Small and medium-sized apartments are increasingly chosen by many young people because of their affordable prices and the cozy space they provide. For apartments that are not too large, Japanese design style is considered a wise suggestion. The characteristic of Japanese style is that the interior is mainly made of wood, with neutral, gentle and friendly tones.

According to architect Quoc Viet, due to limited space, small apartments need multifunctional spaces to have spaces to experience. He said that those who buy this type of apartment should eliminate the concept of functional rooms and transform them into functional spaces. The apartment may not have rooms, but it needs to have enough space to perform its functions.

In Japanese-style apartments, the multi-functional space called Kamachi is considered the highlight of the entire house. Not only does it have aesthetic elements, the Kamachi area is also a solution to help optimize the house's functionality.

Kamachi is a multi-purpose space and is designed 20-35cm higher than the floor. Below is the storage space to help the house stay neat and clean. This area is used quite a lot, as a place to receive guests, watch TV, drink tea. If the tea table is removed from the steps, this can become a play area for children.

Architect Quoc Viet said the characteristics of Japanese interior design style are purity, necessity and space between everything.

The Japanese philosophy is reflected in the layout, intentionally designed to create empty spaces. These spaces are stimulating, exploratory , and filled with experiences.

The Japanese do not focus on surface decoration skills, but on design efficiency. The materials they use are quite diverse, mainly natural and indigenous materials, emphasizing their rawness and sensuality.

If the family often has guests, an additional bedroom can be arranged behind the Kamachi space. In addition, this can be used as a reading room.

In the common living space, the kitchen area will have the same main color tone as the whole house.

Kamachi multi-functional space is also applied in the bedroom. Kamachi system will help the bedroom become more tidy.

The biggest plus point of Japanese design style is to make the most of empty space to meet the functions and needs of all family members.

For apartments with an area of 60m2 to 120m2, the cost of designing and constructing the apartment ranges from 250 million VND to 550 million VND. This is considered a suitable cost for young people.

Japanese design style is a style that focuses on empty space and minimalism. The amount of furniture is limited to a minimum, but still meets the needs of daily life.

The advantage of Japanese design style is its compact size, without many elaborate decorative details, so it is easy to clean and maintain.

The disadvantage of Japanese design style lies in the aesthetic taste of the user. For Vietnamese people, this style is not really popular because it has many features of Japanese culture. Besides, Japanese style focuses on common space, so it limits the private area for the homeowner.
