For those of you who live in apartments or small residences, limited space is often an unavoidable obstacle. The solution is that you may have to rethink the spatial planning, placing functional furniture and even creating an additional mezzanine floor. Mezzanine is an additional floor whose position is usually between the two main floors in a room or between the floor and ceiling. The term mezzanine itself comes from the Italian word ‘mezzo’ which means ‘middle part’. This mezzanine is open and its size does not match the main room.
This mezzanine floor can be a solution for maximizing space in a narrow room, without having to renovate on a large scale. The height of the room is only half the height of a regular room. But with proper planning, this size is more than comfortable for resting or doing light activities. The following are mezzanine ideas that you can use as a solution for small rooms. Let’s see!
The ideal mezzanine size
Even though mezzanines are usually small, try to size them according to your comfort. So, there is an ideal size that needs to be considered. First of all, know that a room that can have a mezzanine built in it has a minimum height of 4.4 meters to 5 meters, so the mezzanine should ideally have a height of 2 meters so that your head doesn’t hit the ceiling and you can walk easily. With a height of 2 meters, this means that the space under the mezzanine floor still has a height of around 2 meters so it is comfortable to access. Meanwhile, the size can be adjusted to suit individual needs. However, try not to cover more than three-quarters of the area of the main room.
Benefits of mezzanine floors
Mezzanine floors are usually intended for narrow rooms, but can also be used in larger rooms. Not only for residential, but also for commercial space. This is because this floor has many benefits.
Adding Space
Mezzanine floors are able to increase space vertically, without having to expand or add more floors to the building. Highly recommended for those who have limited land and budget.
Flexibility
This additional area can be used as any room. Starting from the bedroom, study room, play room, TV room, work room, library, living room, even storage space.
Separating Space Functions
For example, in a bedroom, the mezzanine can be used as a work area so that the function of the bedroom itself is not disturbed. Meanwhile for commercial areas, such as restaurants, this floor can be used as a special area for guests in certain groups.
