A prospective buyer in Slovakia is weighing design options for a 34-square-meter, one-and-a-half room apartment in a new development. The central question is whether to divide the space to create a separate bedroom, or maintain an open-plan living area combining the living room and kitchen. The buyer is concerned that partitioning the room might result in overly small and cramped spaces. Options considered include a permanent partition as shown in the floor plan, or utilizing a large, floor-to-ceiling shelving unit as a divider. The individual is seeking advice on prioritizing space and functionality within the limited footprint of the apartment. The decision impacts the overall feel and usability of the living space.
