Smallest Apartments: 5 Studios from Our Projects

Small area — not a problem for designers. They continue to surprise us with their solutions, thanks to which even the tiniest studio turns into a comfortable and functional space.

Small minimalist studio

Designers from Anova Interior Design decorated a bright apartment with an area of 35 square meters — this is where a young single man will live. In the niche, they placed a full-size sleeping area that can be hidden behind a sliding partition if needed. The main space was designed as a kitchen-living room, which was zoned using a small bar counter.

Despite the minimalist interior, there are enough storage solutions here, and they are simply well-hidden. For example, behind the mirrors in the hallway, there are actually wardrobe doors for clothing.

Compact studio with living room and bedroom

This studio is only 31 sq. m, but it has everything needed for living. The apartment is shaped like a stretched rectangle, and designer Katya Kuznetsova came up with how to divide the space into functional zones. The mini-bedroom was separated from the living room-dining area by a partially glazed partition — and natural light now fills the entire room.

There wasn’t enough space for a TV — it was replaced with a projector in the living room. The screen extends from a niche in the ceiling so that movies can be watched while sitting on the sofa.

Mini-studio for a single man

It's not easy to design a comfortable space on 29 square meters, but designer Ekaterina Ulanova managed to do it. The bedroom was separated from the kitchen-living room using a custom-made partition made of glass and metal. A sofa was placed between the kitchen cabinet and the partition — here you can watch movies and relax with friends. The wall conceals many storage spaces.

In the bedroom, a wide windowsill with sockets was designed — it can be used to sit and enjoy the view of the city if desired. In the hallway, a wardrobe with hidden handles was designed from floor to ceiling. It can be used to store clothes and sports equipment.

Miniature studio

To make 28 square meters not seem too cramped to the client, designers at Soda Studio focused on a light color palette. The space was zoned using a partition that lets in natural light.

To save space on the kitchen, a small bar counter was placed next to the partition. The built-in refrigerator was even hidden in a cabinet. In the living area, by the way, there is a large wardrobe for storage that is 7.5 meters long with many shelves and alcoves.

Mini-studio for a family of three

The area of the smallest studio in our selection is only 27 square meters. Moreover, it's not just one person living here — there are three people: a family with a child. In the kitchen-living room zone, designers Andrey and Elena Timonin installed a pull-out bed that becomes a sofa when folded. Behind it, there are places to store blankets and pillows during the day, and a backrest for the sofa at night.

A little higher up, there is a sleeping area for the child, which is covered with roll-down curtains. For main storage in the hallway, a large built-in wardrobe was installed.
