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 how it was done.

Combined Kitchen and Living Room

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

Partition Built Between Bedroom and Hall

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

Combined Bathroom

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 vanity unit under the sink. Storage systems were also built above the installation.

Removed Partition in 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?
