How to Convert 1RK to 1BHK?

In cities like Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, and others, there is a great demand for affordable housing. Making affordable homes is truly challenging due to the expense of land. I wanted to buy a big house for my extending family but I wasn’t able to do that due to the increases in housing costs. So I thought of making changes to the home I owned in order to gain some extra room and give it a more upscale appearance. I will tell you how to convert 1RK to 1BHK and what I did to convert my 1RK to 1BHK.

1RK converted to 1BHK

Generally, if you wish to convert a 1 RK home to a 1 BHK while you are living in it, the kitchen is moved to the balcony off the living room, and your kitchen is turned into a bedroom. It is possible that the living space is underutilised and the bathroom is overcrowded. But often, we look for a house that is both attractive and roomy while remaining within our budget. You must therefore be creative and keep a track of the costs of various items. You can come up with some cost-cutting suggestions that will allow you to fit things within the budget while still maintaining aesthetics. To make the rooms appear more appealing, I would advise using 2x2 vitrified tiles throughout, granite for the kitchen counter, and some simple and elegant false ceiling designs.

• Keep the sink outside of the restroom.

• Mke sliding doors for the wardrobe.

General tips to convert 1RK to 1BHK

1. Placing a tube light in the room isn't always necessary for lighting. Structured lighting, such as bedside table lamps, LED console lights, etc., that illuminates a space is what is important.

2. Consider all the activities you would want to perform in a specific area.

3. Colours can give any place more depth and space. Choose a calming colour scheme to create the impression of more space.

4. To get the most storage space possible, overhead storage must be built in the bedroom, kitchen, and hallway.

5. Make the most of your vertical space by creating wall-mounted furniture that may be used as storage.

6. Place the basin outside the bathroom to give the impression that it is larger.
