Small places Renovation solutions
Renovation, layout, and furnishing solutions for small spaces
A trend that is currently gaining momentum when planning changes in our homes is combining all rooms into one main area. The goal is to keep everything in sight and close at hand, concealing only the bathrooms and separate bedrooms.
What is behind the success of open spaces?
This is mainly due to three key factors:
- Excellent solution for small spaces: A comfortable, fluid, and highly practical alternative for daily life.
- Great way to optimize the budget: Fewer square meters of partition walls translate into more imagination. We achieve a greater sense of space at a lower execution cost.
- Influence of Nordic design: Trends from countries like Sweden or Norway show us an integrated and uncomplicated way of conceiving contemporary living spaces.
Therefore, our proposal today is to give you a few simple keys to help you make the necessary changes to “experience a brand new home” without leaving your sofa, always keeping quality, price, and results in mind.
Key layout and smart furniture tips
- Prioritize open space: By removing unnecessary walls and partitions, you will gain a spacious, comfortable, and bright area where you will feel completely at ease.
- Create areas with accent and modular furniture: Set up a study corner under a window, use sofa beds for extra guests, or add versatile puffs that transform into seats, footrests, or side tables depending on your current needs.
- Steer clear of large, heavy structures: Solid bookcases and shelving units that take up an entire wall reduce visual space. Instead, use lightweight, floating, and multi-purpose options.
- Aim for aesthetic uniformity: A great trick to boost the sense of spaciousness is choosing a single decorative and flooring style throughout the area. This lets you move secondary furniture around without breaking the room’s harmony.
- Flexible children’s areas: If you have children at home, define their play area visually using removable items like screens or rolling modular units with drawers. This makes it easy for them to tidy up quickly on their own.
- Creative kids’ bedrooms: Use your imagination and elevated solutions to make the most of every single centimeter available in the little ones’ bedrooms.

Frequently asked questions about small space renovations
How much visual space can be gained by removing partition walls in a small apartment?
By combining areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen into an open-concept layout, you can achieve up to a 30% increase in perceived visual openness. This is achieved by maximizing cross-natural light and eliminating wasted hallway spaces.
Is it safe to tear down any wall to integrate a kitchen and living room in Barcelona?
Not every wall can be removed freely. It is essential that a qualified technician from our renovation company in Barcelona carries out a preliminary inspection to check whether it is a simple partition wall or a load-bearing wall requiring structural reinforcement and a certified technical project.
What type of furniture is best suited for an open-concept apartment?
We highly recommend modular, multi-purpose, and secondary furniture pieces. Items such as Italian-opening sofa beds, extendable console dining tables, and wall beds allow you to transform the layout of a room based on the time of day without cluttering the available floor space.
