Consider how the apartment looks like a small American family consisting of parents and one child. Such a family must necessarily have a kitchen and a dining room, a living room and two bedrooms. Similar apartments Americans are referred to as two-room apartments, considering only the number of bedrooms. It is clear that the American two-room apartment will have a much larger area than the domestic "kopeck piece".
Spacious premises already by themselves are one of the most important active elements of design. Kitchen and dining room are a single room, divided either by a special bar or by a bar counter. This approach allows you to visually increase the area of the rooms, which seem much larger than they really are. By the way, American developers know that any normal hostess who knows how to love and cook will certainly be delighted with a large and spacious kitchen, that's why they do not save squares in this room.
Through the eyes of an amateur to an American apartment
The kitchen of Americans is a huge luxury room, which can not be said about the kitchen itself, which is simple and concise. For example, in Moscow, a studio with a small kitchen, you can see valuable expensive breeds of wood, marble, as well as exclusive furniture from famous designers.
Americans look at the kitchen furniture much more pragmatically. They select for their kitchen white or brown lockers without any frills. Part of the case is also that developers are selling apartments already with repair, so they just do not want to spend a lot of money on exclusive designer furniture from expensive materials. Buyers, in turn, also do not see the point in changing the new inexpensive kitchen more expensive.
Some drawback in the material, the Americans learned to compensate, skilfully picking up decorative elements. There is just no American kitchen: colorful glass vases, paintings, beautiful figures, magnets on the refrigerator, etc.
American Living Room
Everyone has heard a word like a living room. Americans, pronouncing this word, mean the living room. Unfortunately, only in units of Russian apartments you can see such a room.
Living room in the American sense is a spacious room, located, as a rule, directly going into the house. This room is designed to collect the whole family and friends. Unfortunately, in Russian apartments, a tiny kitchen turns into a living room - often this is the only place where you can arrange family gatherings.
The American living room is an amazing place that can really bring people together. There is a large sofa or two small sofas that can stand opposite, a TV set, a coffee table, bookcases and shelves, as well as various decorative elements - vases, candles, paintings, frames with photos, etc. As practice shows, in such premises people spend very much free time.
Indeed, the living room is a universal room. Here, children can play the console at a time when adults are having a party at the table. In this case, no one will disturb anyone, but everyone has the opportunity to communicate with each other and joke. Living room - this is the most necessary and most successful element of the American apartment.
Green Zone
American decor is not only beautiful, but also functional. Americans are quite practical people, so they always try to find multifunctional options. Almost every American house or apartment has so-called common areas, which can be used not only for communication with family members, but also for familiarity with all neighbors.
For example, a common place for picnics, where all the neighbors can gather. Here you can see a strong street furniture, built-in barbecue, comfortable tables. Where there is practically no place for the construction of such zones, Americans manage to arrange picnics even with a cover.
The main thing for these people is communication. That's why they have no fences, and if they are, they often have a symbolic character. Only in dysfunctional areas people wall their homes with fences, but where everyone lives a quiet and cheerful life, fences are simply unnecessary.
Large lounges, where the evening is spent, relatives, friends and acquaintances, green areas for recreation and picnics, and the constant smiles that Americans give each other, are a lifestyle that is reflected in all its spheres, beginning with family relations and ending with the interior in the apartment. The meaning of the Americaninterior is to create a pleasant atmosphere for communication, in which there will be a desire to share their plans, just to chat on abstract topics or even to have a grandiose fun.
