Small Apartment Layout Help!
Hey guys, my partner and I are currently in need of help with the layout of our apartment. Specifically the wall area opposite the kitchen where we currently have our console table. The whole area feels bare and wasted space, how do we make the entrance/kitchen area feel homely but still modern? We tried putting the dining table there, but my partner thought it was too crowded. I'd love any suggestions to help make use of the space. (Keeping the console and adding an occasional chair and styling it properly etc, or replacing it all together.)
Also extending that question, we are open to changing around the living room area as well due to the fact I'm not happy with that either. It's an awkward space given the sliding doors to the courtyard and also the nook with the tv. The dining table feels weird down there anyway. We are also open to getting rid of the couches and thinking about a 3 seater or chase lounge.
Thanks, guys!

1940's NZ kitchen - small, awkward-ish layout.
Comments (121)I would suggest you take out the cabinet that is to the right of the stove and use it elsewhere in the house -- perhaps in the bathroom or dining room with a hutch above it. Then, I would suggest you have someone install a lazy susan cabinet in the corner between the sink counter and the stove, meaning you would move the stove down a bit and have a small cabinet/counter top to the right of the stove. I would suggest you have the cabinets refinished in white and then paint the walls a pastel you like. If you would prefer white walls, then add white-painted crown molding and paint the ceiling a light neutral blue, such as Sherwin Williams Niagara Falls Blue. Then, I would suggest you choose a favorite accent color and use this sparingly in accessories like towels, pot holders, small vases or floral arrangements, and a valence above the triple windows. For a genuine 1940s look, you might have white ceramic square tiles with a rectangular red border installed as a back splash behind and above the stove. If you are replacing counter tops, I would suggest a light color such as white with a beige or light grey vein or striation for some sort of pattern. You might be able to find the same color and design in floor tile OR opt for a wood floor as another poster suggested....See MoreNeed help with my new apartment (to be built)

Comments (2)We built a new home where we walk through our wardrobe into the ensuite and it works really well. I would suggest getting rid of the first pocket door as we found you don't need this and it keeps it more open. I assume the rectangle is the shower? Is there a window in there?...See MorePlease help with small bathroom layout...

Don't have the floor plan dimensions unfortunately but hopefully this suffices!Dining table is 78x123
Console is 41x122
Couches are 90x165, and yes, we do have both couches still,
and an occasional chair which is 85x90
It's a rental.
