Organize the layout of rooms and furniture with Lapeyre to feel good at home
To make a house more harmonious and make its occupants feel good there, it is advisable to think in advance about the layout and arrangement of the rooms that make it up.
A welcoming and functional entrance
As it is the room through which one enters the house, the entrance plays a big role in the layout of a house: it must be both warm to make one want to come in, while being functional for its users. A well-designed entrance is therefore a practical room, in which you will be able to store (thanks to a cloakroom or a coat rack ) your coats, bags, and shoes, in order to create a break with the outside and leave it behind you… But the layout of this room, which gives an overview of the overall atmosphere of the house, must not be neglected: a small bench, a well-maintained plant, and a pretty light will thus brighten up this room, and create a cozy atmosphere which will make you feel good as soon as you cross the front door.
A pleasant lounge conducive to discussion
In order to allow people to move around, exchange ideas, and relax easily in a living room, it is advisable to: -Avoid overloading the room with too much furniture and ornaments. -Opt for furniture with rounded shapes, and arrange armchairs and sofas around a coffee table to encourage communication, but without turning your back on the door. -Choose brightly colored furniture to energize the room. -Vary the light sources, and if possible, create an opening (with a glass roof or a skylight) onto another room to avoid feeling closed in.
A Zen and refined bedroom
To feel good and sleep soundly in a bedroom, it must first and foremost be tidy and uncluttered: there’s no question of letting clutter build up there, or overloading it with furniture that would suffocate the room. The furniture must therefore have soft shapes, colors, and textures, and storage (a dressing room or cupboards on a section of wall, but also toy boxes for children, for example) is welcome so that when you enter the room, serenity prevails.
An intimate and quiet bathroom
To rhyme with well-being, a bathroom must be partitioned to offer a minimum of privacy to its users. As such, Lapeyre concealed storage units are perfect for creating a peaceful and orderly atmosphere without sacrificing practicality. If the choice between a shower and a bathtub is primarily a question of space (or taste!), it is preferable to place the toilet in a room separate from the bathroom, and one that opens onto a corridor.
A practical and dynamic kitchen
Today, the kitchen is one of the main rooms in the house, where we soon spend as much time as in the living room (especially if it is a kitchen open to the living room). To make it as convivial as it is practical to live in, it is therefore necessary to ensure: 1. To install the worktop so that the person using it can take in the room at a glance, especially in the case of an open kitchen. 2. To ensure that there is as little distance as possible between the sink, the refrigerator, and the cooking point. 3. To place aromatic plants in the kitchen: they will bring a touch of color and greenery as well as very pleasant smells. 4. To bring warm colors into the room, through the worktop, cupboards, or storage, for example.
Parameters not to forget
To feel good at home and make your home more harmonious, some parameters should not be overlooked when it comes to the layout of your home: -Remember to position windows and doors, ensuring that you can always look outside when you are in a room. -Set up "buffer zones" in your home to preserve everyone’s privacy: demarcate the space between the living area and the sleeping area, and place a room (toilet, bathroom, dressing room) between the parents' bedroom and those of the children. -Avoid your bedroom or any room in the sleeping area being a through room for maximum comfort and serenity.
