Reshaping and permission to it in the authorities
The division of the apartment must be made in the most optimal way, which most often involves the elimination of interior walls, and this is feasible only with the permission of the district administration.
You will need a BTI conclusion that the technical condition of the building allows you to make changes in the layout.
To create a project, you need to take the plan of the apartment and depict on it an additional division for the second room. With this project plan, you apply to the BTI, where you are given permission to demolish, in the absence of appropriate prohibitions on the demolition of these walls( arbitrary changes are punishable by a fine).
Important! This is done in order not to violate the integrity of the whole building, since spontaneous repairs can put the main structures of the house at risk. And, of course, to avoid penalties.
In order to implement the redevelopment, it is worth remembering that your repair work should not interfere with the operation of public utilities, hot and cold water supply, heating, electricity, etc.
Designers' tips for replanning a one-room apartment
One room can be redeveloped without the intervention of the BTI and the demolition of walls, it is sufficient to use the principles of zoning of the working space and rest area. This will divide the room into functional parts.
Installation of a rack or shelf
As far as the closet is closed, this new room will be isolated. One side of the room can become a bedroom, another living room or a hall. Naturally, the cabinet will act as an additional place for storing clothes, household items, decorative elements and other details.

cabinet In the middle of the room, you can install a cabinet in which to make a through passage dividing the room into two functional areas. Also, the cabinet will carry out its natural functions of storing clothes, etc.
If desired, you can order a double-sided cabinet that will function on both sides of the room. A large wardrobe reaches the ceiling, because in the separated half, daylight will not suffice, however, this can be corrected by adding additional lighting and creating small separation holes for daylight.

To this design, sliding or stationary doors are attached. Also, the decorative partition can be made of wood, glass, plastic and other material. The solution allows you to perform a variety of designs and design ideas.
Moving the kitchen to the balcony

However, this will require considerable warming of the balcony and installation of plastic windows. In addition, you can remove the balcony window and the door and make a small arch. The territory of the kitchen can become a living room or an entrance hall.
The kitchen and living room connection
