9 Great Design Solutions for Home and Cottage

All these solutions we spotted in May projects. They can be implemented both in an apartment and on a cottage.

How to organize storage on a balcony?

No space for wardrobes on a small balcony? Place a sofa with storage spaces, like in Anna Simonova and Irina Shestopalova's project. This also decorates a relaxation area.

Transformer Bed

Designers Andrei and Alena Timonin solved the problem of sleeping space in a studio. The pull-out bed can be covered with a cover in its deployed state.

Storage spaces for blankets and pillows are provided at the top during the day, and in the evening, the sofa back is stored there.

New Life for Old Items

Don’t throw away vintage items so quickly. For example, in this project, a Zinger sewing machine was useful. Designer Julia Chernova decided to make a sink stand from it.

This storage combination was assembled by Oh, Boys! Interiors studio from IKEA BESTÅ cabinets. Some fronts were custom-made to eliminate gaps and shelves, which is cheaper than ordering a built-in wardrobe.
