Trend from New York for Those Tired of Scandinavian Style

This 64-square-meter two-room apartment with 4.2-meter-high ceilings brings together many elements of New York interior design. Spacious panoramic windows, an open layout, and "clever" furniture where the bed is also a sofa and a dresser.

The basis of the apartment's layout is a free and open space without walls or partitions. The living room and kitchen are combined. Furniture is concentrated in the center of the room rather than along the walls as usual.

Another feature of the living room-kitchen interior is eclecticism. A black classic cabinet and a wooden dining table are placed next to a velvet sofa, a Moroccan pouf, and colorful textiles. Against the backdrop of calm walls and daylight from panoramic windows (five in the living room!), everything looks harmonious.

The apartment has two staircases. One is hidden behind the kitchen cabinet, which is more of a necessity than a decorative element due to the high ceilings. The second leads to a 11-square-meter second floor that can transform into space for quiet evenings or noisy parties.

The bedroom has minimal extras: a high double bed and two bedside tables. This minimalism does not take up square meters, and the high ceilings and freedom are especially noticeable here.

The bathroom is minimalist: no shelves or cabinets. Instead, there's plenty of space for a shower corner.

The hallway, although small, is convenient. To the right of the door are a large cabinet in the same style as the kitchen cabinet and a coat rack. A little further on is an antique dresser, and above it is an indispensable detail of a New York apartment: a round mirror.
