12 Design Hacks We Spotted in Projects

We reviewed all the January projects once again and selected 12 interesting design solutions that can be useful for you.

Additional Storage Spaces

Customers asked designer Evgenia Makarova to create a soft corner for guests on the kitchen. The pro decided to make the most of this and built a bench with a fold-down seat and an internal box for storage.

Multi-functional Structure

Designer Olga Katyuk created a whole structure by the window: it includes a seating area in the dining zone, a desk, and a wardrobe for clothing and cosmetics storage. Thanks to this solution, the client can practice yoga and dance at home — there is now enough free space.

Waterproof Wallpaper Panels

When tiles in bathroom finishes become tedious, you can find more interesting solutions. For example, combine paint with special waterproof wallpaper panels as in Anastasia Marchenko's project.

Do you see these holes in the base of the bar counter? Actually, they are wine shelves. What do you think about this idea from Mango Studio?

Unusual Partition

This partition is made entirely of glass blocks. According to designer Irina Reichers, the client bought them on Avito and cleaned them at the factory.

Drying Cabinet and Paw Washing Tray

The client requested designer Nina Ivanenko to find a place to dry clothes — there is no balcony in the apartment, and floor drying takes up space and ruins the interior view. In the end, the pro positioned an electric towel rack behind ventilated facades above a specially designed tray for pet paw washing.

Idea for Zoning

How to quickly zone a space? Designer Julia Grabko solved this issue with semi-transparent mesh curtains — they visually separate the kitchen from the insulated balcony.

Way to Hide Flaws

According to designer Elena Teplova, the high mirrored portal in the living room covers part of the protruding load-bearing wall that disrupted spatial symmetry.

Hidden Pantry

How to hide the pantry in the kitchen interior? Designers of 3DDesign Studio designed invisible facades matching the wall color — they are almost invisible.

Unusual Cabinet Doors

For a loft-style interior, designers of VizDiz Studio chose unusual mesh cabinet doors for the kitchen cabinets. They let in fresh air and help instantly see what's on the shelves.
