Tips Arranging Tiny Houses For Comfort
Currently limited money is no longer relevant as an excuse to have a small house. Limited land, especially major cities, demanding people to save money in setting up the house.
Even in urban communities tend to have a home that is practical and multifunctional, but still comfortable to live. Not surprisingly, the often minimalist style loved by so small houses also still have a multitude of functions. Living in the box, maybe that's a phrase that fits.
Actually, it is still difficult to define a small house because, according to Prima Haris, consultants and interior design consulting rubric caregivers in the tabloids, House, house area of 135 square meters and still be called petite. Not to mention if we take into consideration the ability of the rich and the poor in building a house.
However, the obvious in a small house there is only basic functions of the house. Now the small house does not always mean stiff, stuffy, and cramped. Actually, a small house can be arranged with the right interior for comfortable and spacious impressed.
Interesting to examine, troubleshooting 3 in 1 + Prima Haris, in the event of Tabloid Readers Meeting House, in Jakarta, Wednesday (15 / 6). Meeting readers is one of a series of events with Kompas-Gramedia BNITapenas Fair that was held at Sasana Culture Ganesa (Sabuga) InstitutTeknologi Bandung (ITB), 14 to 19 June 2005.
First, make a small house as a reflection of our lifestyle. "The interior is a soul who had a home," said Haris. That is, adjust the interior design of our homes with character and style of our daily lives.
People who like to bring work home office could be set up slightly different from the other room designs. This is done so that they can work as comfortable as possible.
Others "handyman work", others also "the artisan bath". For example, an artist who likes to linger in the bathroom because it often gets inspiration there can add accessories and additional functionality in the room. Additional accessories that could eventually serve as a means to work.
Second, narrow room can give the impression that if we consider the wide choice of paint color, presence of mirrors and glass, and the lack of accessories.
Haris, who is also an alumnus of Architecture ITB, explains, color matching or is still a derivative should be our choice when painting the house. So do not choose dark colors because it will give the room a narrow sense. Choose colors that can give the impression of light and shade.
However, it should be remembered, this paint color choices must be adjusted to the function room. Soft and light colors, like blue and purple, less suitable for indoor children's learning because it would give the impression of calm. As a result, the child will be less excited about learning. Red and orange, which is upbeat and cheerful, is an example of precisely color matched to children's learning conditions.
Factor was the lighting of the lamp should not be forgotten. Light the lamp, according to Harris, there are only two, namely yellow and white. White light from fluorescent lamps, for example, more giving the impression of cold, formal, and unnatural. The yellow color is more memorable warm, fresh, natural, and romantic.
Meanwhile, the glass that limits the inside of the house with a room on the outside also influence the impression generated view. "The glass enables us to look out. This is, psychologically, giving the impression that the room was spacious, "says Haris.
In addition, the glass makes the sun can go into the room. Shades of light if the room can flow freely into the sun and eyes off the page.
Vertical elements and blocking too much to separate one room to another can also give the impression of a rigid and narrow. But avoid vertical elements that are too much of this. Small sideboard or even a sofa can be used as insulating media room.
If we have a tiny house, you should also choose a calm and simple furniture. The selected furniture also advisable to have a color close to the wall color so it does not seem heavy and narrow.
Dark colors usually tend to be impressed with our approach towards making the room seem more narrow. Natural elements, such as trees and flower plants, can also be added to give freshness to the room.
Utilization of empty spaces in the house to put things is a third factor of 3 in 1 concept. For example, the space under the usual empty sink can be used to store several types of goods.
Then the empty space of about one meter below the ceiling can be further functionalized. Hunting the remaining space, that's the term Haris. "That way, one place could be multifunctional," said the man who had been a director of Indonesian Interior and Architectural Space Resource Center.
"The walls are unemployed, no way," says Haris. Precisely on the wall there is our wealth. The third addition to the above, the walls of houses opinion utilized. He said we could have made the shelf on the wall of the house. However, the color of the rack was not too contrasting with the color of the existing wall.
For those who want to install the wallpaper, use a patterned and colored light. Indentation pattern that leaves it wide, for example, can actually confiscate the view. Plain color with thin lines and small boxes can even rest the sight and minds so that it becomes relaxed.
Distance floor and ceiling did not escape so the attention Haris. Narrow the distance between them seemed to narrow the space for us. The extent of the distance between floor and ceiling actually makes us more freedom of movement and air circulation smooth.
Asked about the aesthetic arrangement of a small house, Harris replied, "For me it is an interior designer, an important comfort. Aesthetics are secondary. "In a further development, of course, a small house would be changed due to the increasing number of things.
Increased family members and activities, space requirements, and improved quality of life are some of them. However, keep in mind in renovating our house is to recognize first, calculate the space requirements, and determine priorities.
