Interior designer in Łódź: a design that fits the floor area

Flats in Łódź are noticeably smaller than the national average, so every metre needs planning. In the blocks in Bałuty and Widzew a designer often starts with the layout: where to move a door, whether to open the kitchen into the living room, where to squeeze in a walk-in wardrobe. A plan drawn on paper costs less than moving partition walls mid-renovation. If you have an old floor plan from the housing cooperative, attach it to the job and you'll save the designer some measuring.

In the city-centre tenements the starting point is different. The walls can be crooked, the ceilings high, and the wiring dates from another era. The designer then begins with a survey, an exact measurement, because dimensions on paper rarely match what's actually there. Based on that, they redraw the electrical points and lighting from scratch. A tall room also gives a chance for a mezzanine or floor-to-ceiling built-ins, but that has to be checked with a structural engineer and the building manager.
