In times of growth in real estate supply, each owner (a natural or legal person) wants to create certain advantages for his property in order to be more attractive than others. Unfortunately, we see more and more often used techniques to mislead potential customers, often creating false impressions of space. Especially people who do not have any training in the field of construction and interior design, it is very difficult to estimate the potential of an apartment simply by viewing a simple sketch or, on the contrary, to guard against the partitioning or purely functional traps of that space .
Every future buyer should go on the dream house search only after a prior notice of existing apartment models on the market, functional compartments versus spaces of improper size, or the methods by which space may seem larger and more roomy than it is fact.
Any empty or totally furnished space seems much larger than one of identical, but fully furnished dimensions. Even though there are 2D plans where a sofa, two armchairs and a dining area are located, this simple, unattended drawing and no gauge, does not guarantee that it can be implemented in a functional and realistic way. The useful surface does not say everything about a room. Even though there is a space of 25 square meters, generous enough for the living room, only this detail uncorrelated with the shape of the room, its dimensions, the positioning of the windows and the door / door is not enough to draw a pertinent conclusion about its functionality.A long and narrow room, for example, even if it has a large surface, will be difficult to arrange to cover all practical needs according to the purpose of the room. Also, a room with too many access ways will not be able to be furnished in a very varied way or according to the owner’s wishes.
Thus, it is enough to make an exercise of imagination and to create a room in which a window is placed on a wall and access to the balcony; on another wall we have a door to the hallway and another to the kitchen, to easily find that the useful space and the actual furniture area is considerably reduced due to the traffic lanes that must be complied with.
When projects are missing in the presentation of projects, we will only look at some pictures of furnished rooms that make us imagine that in those spaces we will be able to live comfortably and functionally.
Few prospective buyers know that in a 4m long and 2m wide kitchen they will not be able to create a dining place frequently for 3 people. It could be used occasionally, just because the third person sitting at the table would completely obstruct the space through the kitchen. Just as a 1.2 m wide hall will make it very difficult to place a hanger, and the arrangement of a closed, almost impossible storage space.
Since the kitchen is one of the most used spaces in a home with major functional needs, many of the unpleasant situations in which, after purchase, the beneficiary realizes the impossibility of the arrangement he desires. Placement only in the standard position of the washbasin, hob and fridge, as envisaged in the project, the impossibility of positioning a semi-height oven or a side-by-side refrigerator, the lack or extremely small dimensions of a working space between the sink and hobs are just some of the unpleasant “gifts” of such dwellings.
Another realistic trap of orientational layout presentations is the 20 sq. M. Living room with two sofas and a dining place for six people. Realistically, such an arrangement is quite utopian under normal daily use. It is quite possible that those pieces of furniture have been under-dimensioned, realistic and not suitable for their own use, or that, if purchased by standard sizes, they make improper circulation through the room due to the gauge overcome in this case.
In the same story, there are also the bathrooms or bedrooms where they are placed in a simple picture without gauge, the bathtub, the washing machine, the toilet, the bed, the dressing, the comforter and the bedside tables. The recipient will not be able to know exactly what space will remain between all the listed furniture pieces so that their function remains effective.
The extreme examples mentioned above are, unfortunately, extracted from projects that are currently licensed and inhabited, whose recipients have turned to our interior design services, expressly to help them achieve a functional and practical operation as practical and effective as possible. Of course, not all vendors and developers apply these sales techniques, but it is worthwhile to be informed buyers with the themes, especially when we are going to pay for these homes for the next 30 years.
You can replace the long searches on the internet with an hour – two consultancy with an architect or interior designer, along with identifying the real needs of your family and becoming aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each space that is of interest to the purchase.
Developers of large residential complexes know how important it is to make 3D projects with realistic planning proposals for each apartment model they are building. Some of them opt for the implementation of these furniture choices, making various presentation showrooms, precisely for prospective buyers to make the best decisions knowingly by testing their own senses the real space of the apartments, correlated with the furniture gauge existing in a family.
Do not forget, buying a home through bank credit can possibly be a choice for your whole life! It’s worth not to hurry …
