Furniture in Slaveykov

Many apartments in Slaveykov are home to families with children, sometimes three generations. The problem is almost always the same: there is not enough storage. Coats pile up by the door, toys cover the floor, and the kitchen has no worktop where you can cook in peace.

The answer is not more furniture but smarter furniture – made to the exact size, up to the ceiling and with an interior planned around what you actually own. That is where we start at the visit: what needs to fit and where.

The entrance is where clutter shows most. A custom hallway unit is made to the size of the hallway: a shoe cabinet with tilting or pull-out shelves, hooks for everyday coats, a closed wardrobe for seasonal clothes and a bench to sit on while you put your shoes on.

If the hallway is narrow, the units are made shallower and the doors sliding. A mirror on the wardrobe door saves a separate mirror on the wall and makes the hallway look wider.

The children’s room in Slaveykov is often the smallest room in the apartment. The best solutions free up the floor: a bed with storage or drawers, a desk exactly the width of the wall, shelves up to the ceiling and closed cupboards where toys disappear in a minute.

When two children sleep in the room, the beds are arranged so that each has space for a desk. The furniture is planned with the future in mind – the desk and cupboards stay when the children grow up, and only what is no longer needed changes.

Many kitchens in Slaveykov are L-shaped. The corner is where space is most easily lost, so the solution is chosen according to what will be stored there: a carousel, a pull-out mechanism or a deep cupboard for large pans. More on the page custom kitchens in Burgas.

Wall units up to the ceiling add a whole row of space, and drawers in the base units are more convenient than doors with shelves. The soil stack is boxed into a unit with an access compartment, and the ventilation stays where it is.

A wall-to-wall wardrobe from floor to ceiling holds noticeably more than a ready-made wardrobe of the same width. The top row is for suitcases and seasonal things, the middle for rails and shelves, and below there are drawers or space for shoes.

In bedrooms the doors can be sliding or hinged, with or without a mirror. More on the page fitted wardrobes.

The bed, bedside tables and chest of drawers can have the same fronts as the wardrobe – so the bedroom looks tidy even when it is small. A bed with storage adds space for bed linen and blankets.

If the bedroom is narrow, the bedside tables are made smaller or replaced by a wall shelf. More on the page custom bedrooms.

During a major renovation it is best for all the furniture to follow one design – kitchen, hallway, wardrobes, children’s room. The fronts and handles are chosen together and the apartment looks like one whole.

Manufacturing is done at once and installation room by room, in an agreed order. If the budget is tight, the kitchen and wardrobes come first and the rest later in the same style. More: apartment furniture.

In a home with children, furniture has to withstand knocks, scratches and frequent cleaning. We use highly moisture-resistant chipboard with solid edging, and for the fronts matt or gloss, depending on what is more practical for you. Matt fronts show fewer fingerprints.

The hardware is Blum – drawers and doors close softly, without slamming, which matters when there are small children at home.

We usually come within 24 hours of your call. We measure every wall at several heights, mark the windows, doors, soil stack and sockets, and talk about who uses what in the apartment.

After the visit you receive a 3D design and a written quote. Changes before manufacturing are free.

Ready-made furniture is handy when you need something quickly, but it rarely fits a panel-block apartment exactly. There is empty space above the wardrobe, the hallway unit doesn’t fit the hallway, and the child’s bed takes up half the room.

Custom furniture is made to the real measurements and to the family’s needs – how many pairs of shoes are in the hallway, how many children study at the desk, how much the wardrobe has to hold. That is why, for a family apartment, custom is usually better value in the long run.

When the children start school, the desk becomes one of the most important things in the room. A made-to-measure desk is made exactly to the width of the wall, usually by the window, with drawers for notebooks and shelves above. That way it takes up no more space than it needs.

If one of the parents works from home, a work corner can also be made in the living room or bedroom – a worktop with a cupboard above that closes when the working day is over.

The ceiling light shines from behind you and leaves the worktop in shadow. LED lighting under the wall units lights exactly the work surface and makes the kitchen cosier in the evening. It is planned at the design stage so that power can be provided and the cables hidden.

Wardrobes and display cabinets can have lighting too – it switches on when the door opens and makes things easier to find.

The visit is quicker and the first design is closer to what you want if you have a few things to hand:

• The sizes of the appliances to be built in – or at least their models.
• Photos of furniture you like – from the internet, catalogues or friends’ homes.
• A rough budget – so we suggest suitable materials straight away instead of several versions.
• How many people live in the apartment and what each room needs to hold.

You don’t need to know everything in advance. Most decisions are made together at the visit, with the samples in hand.

Custom furniture lasts a long time if you follow a few simple rules. Wipe water around the sink straight away rather than letting it sit on the edges. Don’t put hot pans directly on the worktop. Clean the fronts with a soft cloth and a mild cleaner – gloss and matt finishes don’t like abrasive sponges.

Blum hinges and runners rarely need adjusting, but if a door shifts over time it can be readjusted in a minute. Workmanship comes with a 10-year guarantee and Blum hardware with a lifetime guarantee.

In many panel-block apartments the washing machine is in the kitchen and there is “no room” for a dishwasher. In a custom kitchen both can be built in under the worktop, behind a front in the kitchen colour, so they are not visible. Water and drainage are needed in the right place – so we plan this at the visit.

A 45 cm dishwasher fits even in a smaller kitchen and frees the worktop and sink from piles of dishes – something a family with children notices immediately.

As well as kitchens and wardrobes we also make bathroom furniture – most often a vanity unit and a tall cupboard sized to the room. In the small bathrooms of panel blocks every centimetre counts, so the cabinets are made exactly to the niches and around the pipes.

For the bathroom we use highly moisture-resistant materials and solid edging, and we take the measurements at the same visit as for the kitchen.

Manufacturing usually takes 2–4 weeks after the design is confirmed, depending on how busy the workshop is. Our own team does the installation, and afterwards we adjust the doors and drawers.

When replacing a kitchen, the old one stays in place while the new one is being made – it is removed shortly before installation, so you are without a kitchen for as short a time as possible.

Send photos of the room and approximate measurements on Viber – we will tell you what is possible even before the visit. We reply within 2 hours during working hours.
