Redesign: 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 transform 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.

Merged Kitchen and Living Room

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

Built a Partition Between Bedroom and Hall

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

Merged the Bathroom

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

Removed the Partition in the Hall

The partition between the kitchen-living room and the hall 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.

What was the result?
