Distribution can be made when you can change the size of the kitchen at the expense of the other rooms in the apartment. Advantage of this method lies in the fact that the kitchen really becomes bigger. However, you should think very carefully before doing this. It can be done if the kitchen’s walls or partitions are not bearing walls. For example, you can down the wall between the kitchen and the room and make a studio.
