Emerald Apartment for a Surfer

In this studio lives a surfer and traveler, so the storage question had to be solved first. All personal items, just like the surfboard, were hidden in the podium by designers Julia Shmidt and Alexandra Taranova. It serves as a bedroom zone and consists of multiple doors, behind each of which something can be hidden. To support the traveler's love for green color, the apartment was decorated in emerald tones.

Studio in Dark Tones for a Blogger

Not everyone likes bright colors: the owner of this apartment chose a monochrome dark gray palette. Designer Alexandra Ermilova decided to add more air to the space and avoid partitions. Only the bedroom was enclosed in a glass cube: the glass can be shaded when necessary. To avoid filling the room with wardrobes, the apartment included a separate closet.

Designer Anastasia Brandt transformed the living room into a spacious and vibrant lounge area: one wall was painted blue, and the main space was filled with seating areas for guests. By the way, it's convenient not only for relaxing here: working can be done at a half-bar table in the kitchen.

In this apartment, high ceilings were used, so designer Dasha Ukhlinova designed a bedroom on the second floor. The kitchen-living room was placed downstairs with armchairs, sofa, and a bar counter. To emphasize the loft style, aged brick, concrete, and metal were used. The result was an open and functional space for relaxation and meetings with friends.
