The 5 m2 kitchen is quite compact. At the same time, it can become unusually convenient if you approach the issue creatively. Many people see the main problem as being able to place a refrigerator in such a small space, hob, sink, storage cabinets and a dining table to boot.
So, let's pick up a pencil
First, let's face it honestly and write it down on a piece of paper so we don't forget anything.
- How often do you go to the store?
- How often do you cook?
- How many people are in your family? How often do you use all 4 burners? Maybe two is usually enough for you?
- How many people should be seated at one table in the kitchen?
- How many dishes are constantly in use?
- Can some of the kitchen utensils be moved to the balcony, pantry or any other storage location?
Now you can start designing your kitchen.
Work triangle
Now we take a tape measure and measure our walls. If the length of the street wall is 2.5 m, then the remaining wall is 2 m. So, one wall with a window and the opposite with a door. In total, we have 8 m of linear walls along which we can place our set with a refrigerator. Usually one wall goes under dining area. There's not much left.
What must be distributed throughout the kitchen:
- Refrigerator – 60 cm.
- Washing machine – 60 cm.
- Gas stove – 60 cm.
- Sink – 60 cm.
Total, 2.4 m for household appliances with a sink. Let's try to fit this into our space. The upper cabinets can be placed as you please, the main thing to remember is that it is better to place a dish dryer above the sink, and a hood above the stove.
If possible, it is better to take the washing machine into the bathroom. However, you can manage to find a place for it too.
Costly option
The refrigerator can be placed in a mini-corridor in a niche, which is cut off from the bathtub by installing a shower stall. You will have to go through the dismantling of the wall, renovation of the bathroom and give up the bathtub. But we win a place in the kitchen for a full table.
Tricky with placement
We place the refrigerator near the window, the sink in the corner, and the stove near the entrance. It is convenient because there is a fairly spacious tabletop. It is possible to place a washing machine next to the refrigerator.
But in terms of security, this option has a drawback, because... When entering, you might accidentally push boiling water from the stove onto your feet. This can be easily solved if you add a small side, about 15-20 centimeters, which will protect against accidents.
The second option for a refrigerator by the window also causes quite controversial opinions. So, the refrigerator stands near the window, 10 cm from it there is a stove, behind it there is a sink hidden through a cabinet with drawers in the corner, and near the door narrow tabletop 40 cm rests on the lower cabinet. For safety reasons, the corner is rounded and equipped with open shelves.
The refrigerator needs high-quality cooling of the rear radiator grille. She's always hot with him. If there is a stove next to an oven, then a problem arises. For long service life of cooling devices, they must be installed away from heating devices. Also, do not place them near radiators and heating pipes.
The void between the stove and the refrigerator can be filled with cargo.
What if you think about it some more?
The minimized version provides a comfortable dining area and an ultra-compact set.
The refrigerator, sink and stove line up along the side wall. Opposite the entrance in the corner by the window there is a dining area. In this case, you can put kitchen corner, in which you can put a lot of all kinds of utensils, organize the storage of dry products, for example, groceries.
The dining table will act as a cutting surface while preparing dishes.
What if you need spacious storage boxes?
The stove and sink can be placed along the street wall with a window. In this case, the refrigerator will stand in a free corner.
This adds spacious cabinets and a spacious work surface. Especially if you use a built-in oven and a domino hob instead of a stove.
Feeling cramped and want some space?
Let's try to build a working triangle along the window. Cold zone opposite the door. Next is a sink, a small cabinet and a stove. IN free corner chic table with a soft corner.
If you place a table along the wall from the door, and behind it a wide cabinet, a refrigerator can fit opposite them, spacious wardrobe, a sink in the corner and another part of the set along the short wall. At the same time, wall cabinets will occupy three walls, absorbing all the accumulated goods of the hostess.
If you prefer to dine in the living room, then the task is simplified and the set grows. you get full kitchen with cabinets, a chic countertop and a refrigerator looking at the door from the window.
If you modernize this option, you can build a place for lunch near the window, where you can have a snack together.
What about the washing machine?
It can be placed between the sink and the stove.
Or between a mini refrigerator and a sink under the hob. And the oven will move to a microwave with convection.
Take a closer look at mini refrigerators that can be installed under the countertop. They take up little space. But you can win the desired cutting plane.
If you build a strong frame, then this option is also possible:
In this case, the main thing is that the frame on which the refrigerator rests can withstand the weight of the unit and products. If you continue this pencil case upward, you can add several shelves.
Do you still think that 5 sq. meters - is this a hopeless death sentence? Then look for a competent designer who will help you create comfort in this space. Better yet, take a closer look at how these problems are solved on a more modest area in European mini-apartments and tiny houses. This is an inexhaustible source of ideas for compact kitchens.

Kitchen 5 sq m with refrigerator and washing machine
Jul 28, 2017 Werri
Kitchen area 5 sq. meters is often found in Khrushchev buildings, typical panel houses and old buildings. It is quite difficult to fit a work and dining area into such a tiny space, but it is quite possible. From this material you will learn how much depends on what furniture is selected and how it is arranged, what color the walls are painted, how the light is arranged and what curtains hang on the windows. And here you can get a lot of super ideas for design, renovation, planning and redevelopment from a selection of 50 photos of real interiors.
Layout
So that the kitchen has 5 sq. meters to fit both the working and dining areas, there is no other way out than to plan the arrangement of furniture in an L-shape or linearly.
- L-shaped (corner) layout good because it allows you to arrange the stove, sink and refrigerator according to the “working triangle” rule, as well as use a corner and two walls. By arranging kitchen furniture in this way, you will get a spacious work area and ample storage space. True, you will have to “save” on the size of the dining area and choose a table/counter for 2 people. Example corner kitchen 5 sq. meters is shown in the photo below.
- The linear layout is more compact, but a little less convenient, since to prepare food the cook will have to run along the entire kitchen line many times. However, in such small room it's not that difficult. But the dining table can be more spacious - designed for 3-4 people.
If the kitchen is only a utilitarian room, and the dining area is moved to another room, then you can consider a U-shaped or two-row layout.
- Two-row furniture arrangement scheme - great option For narrow room. As a rule, the kitchen is arranged as follows: the stove, sink, food preparation area and dishwasher are placed on one side, and the refrigerator, oven and microwave oven are on the opposite side.
- The U-shaped layout is the most convenient, because everything you need for cooking is at hand. The downside is the bulkiness of the U-shaped headset. This option is most suitable for square kitchen. In the next photo slider you can see the interior of a 5 sq. m kitchen. meters with a U-shaped set and a dining area located in the living room.
When designing your kitchen in a U-shape or in two rows, remember that the passage between the furniture should be at least 90 cm.
Color range
Kitchen area 5 sq. meters must be light and monochrome rather than multi-colored or contrasting.
- Best visually increases space and solves the problem of lack of light white. In a small kitchen of 5 sq. there should be more meters of it than any other flowers. In fact, the facades of the furniture, the decoration, the dining area, and even the curtains can be white. Don't be afraid of white surfaces getting dirty. In fact, they are as practical as any colored ones. And so that such an interior does not seem too “hospital”, use several shades of white (from milky to ivory) and different textures (from gloss to stone).
Design small kitchen 5 sq. meters in one-room Khrushchev house
- To pair with white, you can choose other light shades: light gray, light blue, cream, beige.
- Try not to use more than 3 colors in the interior, otherwise there is a risk of “overloading” the interior.
Finishing
- “Pushing apart” the walls will help correct styling floor. If you have chosen ceramic tiles, then it should be laid diagonally. Wooden floors and laminate in narrow rooms They are also placed diagonally or across the room. Ideally dies flooring should be small, folded in a spread or herringbone pattern.
- A well-known disadvantage of kitchens in Khrushchev-era buildings is not only the small area, but also low ceilings. Wallpaper with a rhombus or vertical stripes will help to “raise” them. But be careful narrow kitchen an abundance of vertical lines will narrow it even further.
Design project for a small kitchen with striped wallpaper
- It is advisable that the walls be plain and without patterns. But if you want to wallpaper, then choose canvases with small patterns in muted shades. Wallpaper with large and variegated prints is safest to glue on only one wall.
- Create the illusion of more space Photo wallpaper will help with a perspective image. For example, it could be a city street, a road going into the distance, or a forest path.
- Another super-effective technique is covering walls with mirrors. If you decorate the entire wall with it or large plot(for example, an apron or a wall near the dining area), the space will visually appear larger. And if the window is reflected in the mirror, then there will be more natural light.
- To add small space feeling of airiness and lightness, use shiny, glossy or “satin” surfaces to decorate the apron. For example, hog tile or glass .
Redevelopment and zoning
Redevelopment is always a labor-, time- and financially costly undertaking, but with its help you can radically change and enlarge a small kitchen. There are two redevelopment options: combining the kitchen with adjacent rooms or moving partitions.
- Relocation of the partition and enlargement of the kitchen due to adjacent rooms. Pros: increasing the kitchen by a couple of square meters, making it possible to create a full-fledged dining room and work area. At the same time, the kitchen remains isolated - smells and noises will not penetrate into the rest of the rooms. Cons: the area of the living room/corridor is reduced, repairs become more complicated and more expensive due to the construction of new partitions.
Below is an apartment plan with the partition moved and the kitchen area increased due to adjacent rooms.
On the following photos The interior of the kitchen is presented in a one-room Khrushchev house, which was enlarged to include a living room.
Keep in mind that the redistribution of an apartment, even with the demolition of non-load-bearing structures, requires approval from housing inspectors.
- Combining the kitchen with the living room and/or hallway. Pros: the space becomes convenient for family holidays, meals and meetings with guests, the kitchen is enlarged due to the relocation lunch group in the living room area or on the border of two rooms, it becomes possible to arrange a full and spacious dining area. Cons: there is no opportunity for privacy, noises and smells from the kitchen can disturb those relaxing in the living room (and vice versa), clutter in one or another area will spoil general view rooms.
Below are the plans two-room apartment in a typical Khrushchev apartment before redevelopment and after combining the kitchen with the living room.
Plan of a two-room apartment in Khrushchev before redevelopment
And here it is clear example design of a combined kitchen-living room in a one-room Khrushchev house.
Apartment layouts “before” and “after” remodeling
To make a combined kitchen-living room or kitchen-hallway look orderly, it needs to be zoned. The boundaries of the zones can only be defined visual techniques(by using different finishes walls, floors and ceilings, lighting, carpets) or physical “delimiters”. For example, this could be furniture, a low partition, ceiling beam, partition with arched or open doorway, plants, glass partition, sliding doors and curtains. The following selection of photos shows examples of zoning of combined kitchen-living room areas.
Furniture
A lot depends on the choice of furniture. Here are some tips to help you plan your kitchen set:
- Since a tiny 5-meter kitchen is sorely lacking space for storing things, you need to use its height, that is, the walls. Choose a three-tier kitchen set up to the ceiling and place it on the most upper shelves those things that are not often needed in the kitchen (glasses, festive dinnerware, food supplies, bottles for pickles, etc.). By the way, you can hide the air duct in the additional tier.
- In addition to the top of the kitchen cabinet, you can also use its bottom, namely the base. If you build several roll-out drawers into it, you will get excellent storage for small items.
- Ideally, the kitchen set should be ordered by custom sizes, because not a single centimeter should be wasted.
- To visually lighten the interior, facades kitchen set it is worth choosing glossy or with glass inserts, solid doors without panels and even without handles will also work well.
- The universal color of the kitchen set is white. It is also good if There is a gas heater in the kitchen. After all, among the white facades, the white box will be practically invisible (see photo).
- Another good option is a set to match the walls.
You need to be no less scrupulous when choosing a table and chairs. After all, in a mini-kitchen they should be maxi-functional and super-compact.
- The most “miniature” solution would be a bar counter. In an isolated kitchen, it can be equipped on the basis of a window sill (see photo examples below), and in a kitchen combined with a living room, it can be placed on the border of the rooms.
In the corner kitchen with an area of 5 sq. meters, you can carve out a place for snacks by converting the window sill into a bar counter
Example of a window sill table
And here is an example of the design of a combined kitchen-living room with a bar counter.
A mini-bar counter can also be built into a headset niche, as shown in this photo.
- One more thing mobile solution— a folding table that, when assembled, turns into a hanging shelf.
- In a 5-meter kitchen, a small round one will also fit coffee table for 1-2 people.
If your lifestyle does not fit in with mini-tables, choose a table for 3-4 people, rectangular or square shape– they use space more efficiently. It is desirable that it can be easily folded and unfolded.
- The chairs are light, compact and functional. For example, these could be folding “garden” chairs, transparent polycarbonate chairs, benches, stools or corners with built-in storage drawers.
Technique
To save space in your work area, choose small-sized and built-in equipment.
It is better to choose a refrigerator that is narrow but tall, a dishwasher with a width of 45 cm, and a hob with 2-3 burners.
It's good if household appliances will combine several functions at once: multicooker + bread maker, food processor + meat grinder + juicer or oven + microwave.
Lighting
Proper lighting is the key to comfort. In a small kitchen there must be a lot of it.
- Penetration daylight neither curtains, nor furniture, nor extra items on the windowsill.
- It is important to distribute artificial light as evenly as possible throughout the room. The following lighting scenario is ideal: spotlights along the perimeter of the ceiling + furniture lighting for the work area + sconce or chandelier above the table.
- Choose the lamps themselves to be miniature and laconic.
Decor
All small kitchens tend to feel cluttered and cluttered. Even magnets on the refrigerator can bring a feeling of disorganization to a 5-meter kitchen. Therefore the most main principle her decor is “less is more.” However, there is no need to completely abandon decorations and accessories, otherwise the interior will turn out to be too minimalistic. Pairs of small paintings/posters/photo frames on the wall, a pot of indoor flower And wall clock will be quite enough to create comfort.
As for curtains, short and laconic types of curtains are best suited: Roman and roller blinds, blinds and cafe curtains as in the photo below.
Functional, ergonomic, beautiful, and most importantly, comfortable design kitchens 5 sq. m - myth or reality? If your apartment has a small kitchen, this is not a reason to get upset and give up. Your “thumbelina” is not as hopeless as it might seem at first glance. Even on 4 square meters, designers manage to create real miracles of ergonomics, and you have as many as 5 of them! A small kitchen can be a great joy for owners. If you approach the issue wisely, effectively using every centimeter in the design usable area, on five square meters you can not only place everything you need, but also create an extraordinary, stylish and cozy interior.
Design of a 5-meter kitchen: expanding the space
If 5 sq.m. is definitely not enough for you, it’s worth considering everything possible options expanding the space of a small kitchen. Only redevelopment can radically “redraw” the kitchen by changing the size and geometry of the room. Where to look for such coveted additional square meters? In the hallway adjacent to the kitchen, living room, storage room, on the balcony or loggia. By connecting the kitchen with the adjacent room, you can increase its area by at least a third and no longer restrain your design impulses by the modest dimensions of the room.
Even if you simply remove the door between the kitchen and the corridor, expand the doorway, install an arch instead of the door, and decorate the corridor in the same style as the kitchen, it will seem more spacious and, in addition, there will be a couple of additional centimeters of usable space that the door previously “eaten up”. By equipping your kitchen with a powerful hood, you don’t have to worry about the smell of cooking food spreading throughout the apartment. However, please note that any redevelopment that involves the demolition of walls and the transfer of gas and water supplies requires approval from the relevant authorities. Therefore, think carefully about this step, weighing all the pros and cons.
To make the kitchen look more spacious, sometimes it is enough to remove the door separating it from the corridor and decorate both rooms in the same style
In view of design features At home, the option of redevelopment may not be possible, and the architectural fusion of rooms is not always advisable. In such cases, you will have to use techniques visual expansion space. You can visually increase the area, “move apart” the walls and “raise” the ceilings by decorating the kitchen interior in light colors, as well as applying the effect of smooth transition of color tones. Bright colors, sharp contrasts and large patterns in a small room they look too intrusive and quickly get boring. It is better to choose wallpaper for wall decoration in a single color, or with a relief ornament or a discreet pattern that repeats the tone of the base.

Kitchen design 5 sq m: rational layout
How smaller kitchen, those more difficult task stands in front of the designer. Nobody wants to sacrifice the benefits of civilization. A cluttered kitchen will also inspire few people to create culinary masterpieces. What to do, how to place everything in such a limited space? necessary furniture and household appliances without turning the kitchen into a warehouse? Depending on architectural features 5 meter kitchen, you can choose one of the rational layout options:
L-shaped layout - optimal solution For small area. In various variations, it is found in almost every second kitchen of 5 sq. m. Usually, on one side, a corner kitchen set is completed by a doorway or window, and on the other, a refrigerator. Free space in the corner can be used as additional work surface or place household appliances there. It is advisable to round off the corner of the fitting adjacent to the door. Smooth, streamlined shapes do not interfere with entry into the kitchen and look more aesthetically pleasing than sharp corners. It is recommended to place the refrigerator on the long side and hob with an oven, and place the sink on the short side. On the opposite side you can place a dining table, wall cabinets or shelves.

- Kitchen 5 sq m with corner sink or hob
The corner space can be rationally used by placing a sink there. For easy access and comfortable work, the sink should be located in a beveled or radius corner table, and the short side of the headset is narrowed. By placing the sink in the corner on the long side, you will have enough space not only for the refrigerator and stove, but also for a small work surface. In addition, the narrowed short side of the set somewhat increases the free space of the kitchen, and the radius facades give the kitchen a beautiful and stylish look. appearance. Much less often, a hob is placed in the corner. If the latter option is more suitable for you, choose an ergonomic corner model a hob that will organically fit into the interior of the kitchen and will be convenient to use.
- U-shaped kitchen
With this layout, furniture is arranged along three walls, which allows for maximum use of usable space kitchens and create the ideal working triangle “refrigerator-sink-stove”. To make the kitchen convenient and comfortable, there is free space between opposite sides should be at least 1.2-1.5 meters. Then, without restricting each other, several people will be able to move freely around the kitchen.
U-shaped layout of a 5 meter kitchen
All tall and bulky objects are usually located in the far corner of the room. This little trick makes them more “graceful” and less noticeable. If you want to have a lot of spacious cabinets and drawers, or place them in the kitchen large number appliances, there can be several “high cabinets” - a refrigerator by the window, and a pencil case or vertical block with an oven built in the middle at the entrance. This configuration significantly increases the capacity of the kitchen unit, but sharply limits the work space. With this layout, on 5 square meters you can successfully place a hob, oven, refrigerator, dishwasher, a built-in microwave and even a washing machine, but a vertical block at the entrance, firstly, will increase the length of the corridor, and secondly, will create acute angle, and thirdly, it will reduce the free space of the kitchen.
The most bulky item in the kitchen interior is the refrigerator. Therefore, when the owners have an urgent need to make their small kitchen as spacious as possible, as a rule, it is the refrigerator that is “evicted” into the corridor or onto an insulated loggia. Purely with practical point This is not very convenient, but it will be possible to organize a full-fledged dining area with a comfortable table and even a soft corner, or a comfortable work area with a wide, free tabletop.
Corner kitchen without refrigerator
- Single row kitchen
The simplest and inexpensive option layout - straight single-row kitchen. This compact solution in the spirit of minimalism is ideal for everyone who does not want to overload their “baby” with furniture and household appliances. If you can move the refrigerator to the opposite wall or move it outside the kitchen, you will have a large, spacious space with the most convenient location of the stove relative to the sink. Leaving the refrigerator as part of the set, choose an oven and hob no wider than 45 cm. Also note that access to the sink with such a layout will be limited on one side by a wall.
The simplest and most inexpensive layout option is a straight single-row kitchen
- Double row kitchen
Double-row arrangement of kitchen units and household appliances will provide a large work space. With this layout, it is better to place the sink and hob on one side, and the refrigerator on the other, which will create a convenient working triangle. The distance between the furniture fronts on the opposite walls of the kitchen should be at least 1.2-1.5 meters to provide access to the cabinets and maintain freedom of movement.
Kitchen interior 5 sq m: secrets of success
In the design of a small kitchen, everything should be thought out to the smallest detail, and the details themselves should be as small as possible. If possible, avoid bulky and simply unnecessary accessories that clutter up your interior. Ideally, each item should carry a functional load.
- Expand the window sill by installing a tabletop, and under it small shelves and cabinets. A window sill with a wide tabletop is perfect as an additional work surface, dining table or bar counter.
- Having decided to expand the kitchen with a balcony or loggia, do not rush to demolish the window sill! Turn it into a bar counter!
- Make the most of your kitchen's vertical space by installing tall wall cabinets. Rarely used items can be stored on the upper shelves under the ceiling. On the contrary, the depth of the lower cabinets can be reduced from the standard 60 cm to 40 cm to gain additional free space.
- Equip your kitchen set with ergonomic fittings and other “smart” devices: roof rails, drawers And cutting boards, “magic” carousels for corner cabinets.
- To save space, choose small-sized appliances to complete your kitchen. For example, buy a narrow but tall refrigerator. Ideal option- built-in equipment. Being part of the set, it does not “overload” the interior.
- If you don’t like and don’t plan to cook a lot, it makes more sense to install in your kitchen not a standard 4-burner hob, but a more compact 2-burner one.
- If it is important for you that the whole family can fit at the dining table, choose a transforming table that can be easily extended and assembled when not needed.
- To visually expand the space, use furniture with glossy facades, use metal, mirrors and glass in the decor. For example, make a glass apron over the work surface or decorate the ceiling with mirror inserts.

Kitchenette in the apartment
If the kitchen is 5 sq. m is open to the living room, then you can plan its location more freely, because the walls are no longer a strict limitation. Additional benefit The benefit of a shared kitchen is the ability to maintain eye contact with people in the living room, which is especially important when there are small children at home. When organizing a cooking room combined with a living room, you must choose the furniture accordingly. Kitchen cabinet fronts should be matched to the living room furniture to keep the entire area consistent. It is also worth introducing a traditional boundary between the kitchen and the living room, for example, in the form of different floor coverings.
Small kitchen in an apartment: good design

Special attention should be given to the selection and placement of furniture. Kitchen cabinets with light, smooth facades will be the best. Tall structures will provide a large volume storage facilities, A open shelves will give lightness. In a small closed kitchen All purely decorative elements should be kept to a minimum. Kitchen design should be well thought out. Regardless of whether the room is small or large, narrow or spacious, when planning the interior, you should know a few universal principles that will protect you from serious mistakes.
Small kitchen 5 sq. m - practicality and beauty 2 in 1
If you want to make the most of the space in a very small apartment kitchen, remember that each room with floor-to-ceiling furniture will appear even more compact than it actually is. And in a small kitchen of 5 sq. m this is especially noticeable. It is better to choose cabinets at different levels.
Kitchen furniture and doors
In a very small kitchen in a block, you need to choose a custom sliding door. Low cabinets with glazed fronts and illuminated from the inside are recommended in accordance with current fashion not only for small kitchens. They are increasingly used in kitchens open to the living room. If someone already decides to install upper cabinets in a small kitchen, it would be good if their facades were made of frosted glass or translucent plastic. Transparent kitchen furniture located at eye level creates the illusion of space and a sense of depth. Sliding doors especially recommended for small kitchens of 5 sq. m, which take up very little space.
Wide kitchen countertop - great choice for kitchen 5 sq. m
A practical solution in a miniature kitchen is to increase the width of the countertop to 80 cm. Thanks to this, under the wall you can place compartments for storing convenient working tools: knives, spoons and other kitchen utensils necessary for preparing and consuming dishes. By expanding the working surface area, you will get more space under the cabinet, which can now be 60 cm deep. The added 20 cm is also a place to store necessary items. Thanks to the expansion base cabinets you can store more kitchen utensils in them, and functional, pull-out shelves and drawers allow you to make the most of the space.
A kitchen for a family should be spacious, but our desires do not always coincide with our capabilities, so we should arrange the available space as comfortably and practically as possible. Even the kitchen is 5 sq. m can sparkle with new colors if you think through its design and choose the right ones finishing materials and furniture. The room can easily become comfortable, functional and safe. The advantage of a kitchen of 5 sq. m is not its size, but even on such a miniature area you can create an excellent room for use that will decorate the entire apartment. Make sure of this by looking at the photo gallery of this article.

Arrangement of a corner small-sized kitchen with a refrigerator
Accommodation refrigerator in a small kitchen always caused certain difficulties.
Fridge- this is the largest item of household appliances on a small kitchen 5 - 6 sq. meters. Let's look at the most common three options for its placement.
- Directly at the entrance to kitchen. Let's face it - this is not the best suitable place. In this case, it will not be possible to install a full-fledged, even small corner kitchen set with the right amount furniture cabinets. This arrangement of bulky refrigerator will steal away the already small kitchen space.
- In the far corner - opposite the kitchen unit. The advantage of this option is that more space and opportunities are allocated for small kitchen design with enough items. The downside is limited space for eating, i.e. small dining area.
- Fridge place it in another far corner, i.e. Once the kitchen furniture is finished, there will be more space left to place a dining table or bar counter, and there will even be enough space for the furniture itself.
