Reconfiguration: How a Studio Was Created from a Small One-Room Apartment

Recently we told about the interior of an apartment decorated by designer Natalia Golubovich. To turn a small one-room flat into a bright and spacious studio, almost all partitions had to be demolished. Storage systems were also not forgotten — we tell you how it was done.

Originally, a partition made of gypsum board was between these spaces — it was decided to remove it to add air to the space. Space zoning was helped by finishing: ceramic granite was laid on the floor in the kitchen area, and warm-toned parquet boards were used in the living room.

A part of the living room was dedicated to the bedroom. To isolate it from the common space, a partition was built next to the foyer, and heavy curtains were hung on the side of the living room to hide the bedroom from outsiders.

One of the designer's tasks was to plan as many storage systems as possible in the project. Combining the bathroom allowed placing a washing machine and a spacious cabinet under the sink. Storage systems were also built above the installation.

The partition between the kitchen-living room and the foyer was removed — this added light and space to the small room. Since a separate entrance to the bathroom is no longer needed, a wardrobe for outerwear was built in its place.
