Residence Decoration in Kağıthane and Maslak: Maximum Comfort in Small Spaces

# Residence Decoration in Kağıthane and Maslak: Maximum Comfort in Small Spaces

Space Optimization in Residence Apartments: Basic Principles

Apartments in Kağıthane and Maslak residences are typically compact areas ranging from 50-100 m². To use these spaces with maximum efficiency, every square centimeter must be carefully planned.

The Power of Minimalist Approach

Minimalism is the art of creating great impact with few items. This approach yields ideal results both aesthetically and functionally in Kağıthane residences. We apply these principles in every project:

1. Functional Furniture Selection

Every piece of furniture should have multiple functions. For example, a bedroom wardrobe can also serve as a desk, or storage space can be found under the sofa.

2. Vertical Storage Systems

Maximizing the use of walls and ceiling height is critically important in small spaces. Maslak residences typically have ceiling heights of 2.70 - 3.00 meters. We design storage systems up to the ceiling to take advantage of this height.

3. Visual Continuity

Light colors and mirrors expand space by creating visual continuity. Especially white, cream, and light gray tones make small spaces appear spacious.

Compact Kitchen Design: Professional Solutions in 6-10 m²

Kitchens in Kağıthane residences typically range from 6-10 m². Special design solutions are required to optimize all kitchen functions in this small area.

Kitchen Layout Planning: L, U, or Galley Type?

L-Type Layout

L-type layout is the most efficient solution in small spaces. In this layout, bottom and top cabinets are placed along one wall, and bottom cabinets and countertop are placed perpendicular to the other wall. In Çağlayan residences, L-type kitchens are the most frequently preferred solution.

U-Type Layout

If the kitchen area is larger than 8 m², U-type layout can be applied. In this layout, cabinets and countertop are placed along three walls. The work triangle is optimized to facilitate movement within the kitchen.

Galley Type Layout

In narrow and long kitchens, galley type layout is applied. Cabinets and countertop are placed with two walls facing each other. At least 1.20 meters of width should be left between them.

Kitchen Cabinet Systems: Storage Up to the Ceiling

Top Cabinet Modules

In top cabinets, we design special modules for rarely used items:

• Corner Rotating Cabinets (Lazy Susan): To efficiently use corner areas

• Pull-Down Shelf Systems: To facilitate access to top shelves

• Special Item Compartments: For large items like pans and pots

Bottom Cabinet Systems

In bottom cabinets, we use optimized systems for daily-used items:

• Deep Drawer Systems: More efficient than traditional shelf systems

• Corner Drawers: To optimize corner areas

• Built-in Appliance Integration: For refrigerator, oven, dishwasher

In Kağıthane residence kitchen renovation, ceiling-to-cabinet systems cost only 15-20% more than standard cabinet systems but increase storage capacity by 40-50%.

Countertop Selection: Right Material in Compact Areas

In small kitchens, countertop selection is critically important both aesthetically and functionally.

Quartz Countertop

Quartz countertop is an option between marble and granite. It is waterproof, stain-resistant, and easy to maintain. Especially in Seyrantepe residences, white and light gray quartz countertops are preferred.

Compact Countertop Length

In small kitchens, countertop length typically ranges from 2-3 meters. At this length, stove, sink, and preparation area should be optimized.

Compact Solutions for Residence Bathrooms: Spa Experience in 4-6 m²

Bathroom areas in Kağıthane residences typically range from 4-6 m². Special design solutions are required to create a spa experience in this small area.

Shower Enclosure Preference: Bathtub or Shower Enclosure?

In small bathrooms, glass shower enclosures should be preferred instead of bathtubs. Shower enclosures both save space and offer a modern appearance.

Shower Enclosure Systems

This is the simplest and most economical solution. A single flat glass panel separates the shower area. This is the most frequently preferred system in Gültepe residences.

In shower enclosures positioned close to the bathroom door, swing door systems are used. This system increases movement space within the bathroom.

Corner shower enclosures maximize space usage. Glass panels placed along two walls form the shower area.

Wall-Mounted Sink and Toilet: Increasing Floor Area

Wall-mounted (floating) sinks and toilets increase floor area, creating a spacious feeling. They also facilitate cleaning.

Wall-Mounted Sink Systems

A console sink mounted on the wall increases floor area by leaving space underneath. A small cabinet or basket can be placed underneath.

A cabinet recessed into the wall (floating) offers a modern appearance and provides storage.

Wall-Mounted Toilet

Wall-mounted toilets increase floor area and facilitate cleaning. The reservoir mounted on the wall is recessed into the wall with a hidden mounting system.

Insulation Materials Used in Bathroom Insulation

In small bathrooms, insulation is even more critically important because moisture control becomes difficult.

Waterproofing Membrane

We apply polyester felt-reinforced bitumen-based waterproofing membrane to bathroom floors and walls. This membrane is extended 20 cm upward at wall and floor joints.

Insulation Layer

We place XPS foam under walls and floors. This foam provides both thermal and moisture control.

Special Additive Screed

We apply waterproof special additive screed to the bathroom floor. This screed provides an additional protection layer.

Large Format Ceramics: Creating Visual Integrity

60x120 cm or larger ceramics mean fewer joint lines. This creates visual integrity and a sense of spaciousness.

In Kağıthane residence bathroom renovation, porcelain ceramics are preferred. Porcelain ceramics, with over 99% waterproofing rate, offer ideal solutions in small bathrooms.

Lighting Plan: LED Strip and Mirror Lighting

In small bathrooms, proper lighting creates a spacious feeling.

LED Strip Lighting

We place hidden LED strip lighting at wall and ceiling junctions. These systems create a spacious atmosphere by providing indirect lighting.

Mirror Back Lighting

We place LED strip lighting behind the mirror. This system is ideal for face lighting and adds a spa atmosphere.

Smart Furniture Integration: Functional and Aesthetic Solutions

In Maslak and Kağıthane residences, smart furniture systems enable maximum efficient use of small spaces.

Bedroom: Storage and Work Area Integration

Wall-to-Wall Wardrobe Systems

Wall-to-wall wardrobe systems provide space for both storage and decorative elements. Inside, drawers, hanging rails, and special item compartments are optimized.

Under-Bed Storage

We create drawer systems or lift mechanism storage areas under the bed. These systems provide additional storage in the bedroom.

Wall Bed (Murphy Bed)

If necessary, wall bed systems can be applied. This system saves space by lifting the bed to the wall when not in use.

Living Room: Sofa and Storage Integration

In small living rooms, we create storage areas under the sofa. We also design wall shelf systems and hidden TV units.

Work Area: Compact Office Solutions

Wall Desk

A desk extending along the wall provides maximum work area while taking minimal space.

Hidden Work Unit

If necessary, work units recessed into the wall or with covers can be designed. These systems keep the living room tidy by hiding the work area.

Color Palette: Colors That Make Small Spaces Appear Larger

In modern minimalist design, color selection is critically important. The color palette we recommend for Kağıthane residences:

Primary Color: White and Light Gray (70%)

We use white and light gray tones for walls, ceiling, and main furniture. These colors expand space and create a spacious atmosphere.

Secondary Color: Warm Wood Tones (20%)

We use warm wood tones (oak, walnut) for floors, doors, and some furniture. These colors add warmth and character.

Accent Color: Black and Dark Anthracite (10%)

We use black or dark anthracite for details, accent walls, and some furniture. These colors make the space appear dynamic by creating contrast.

Fast Delivery Processes: Turnkey Delivery in 30 Days

In Kağıthane residence renovations, fast delivery processes are important. Because residence residents typically live in rental housing or temporary accommodations.

Project Planning and Timeline

• Plumbing renewal

• Electrical renewal

• Wall and ceiling arrangements

• Insulation applications

• Ceramic flooring

In Maslak residence renovations, this process is completed in 6-8 weeks. For fast delivery, material supply is planned in advance and parallel work flows are optimized.

Modern Office Renovation: Areas Optimized for Working from Home

In Kağıthane and Maslak residences, home office areas have gained importance. Special solutions are required to create a professional work environment in small spaces.

Compact Office Design

Wall Desk and Storage

A desk extending along the wall provides maximum work area while taking minimal space. Above, wall shelf systems and wall cabinets are placed.

Hidden Work Unit

In the living room, a hidden work unit can be designed. This system keeps the living room tidy by hiding the work area.

Sound Insulation: Critical for Video Conferences

In work-from-home areas, sound insulation is critically important for video conferences. In-wall mineral wool insulation and door bottom seals reduce sound transmission.
