How We Improved the Layout of a Small Studio

Recently, we told about the interior of a studio by Olga Katyuk's project, and now let's go into more detail about the re-planning. For a young woman, the designer arranged a small apartment where it's comfortable to rest and practice yoga and dance. We tell how they found free space in it.

Moved the kitchen to the corridor

Since the apartment area is very small, there was no space for a separate kitchen. It was decided to move it into the corridor — such a solution is possible if during relocation you do not end up on the territory of the bathroom or living room. You can read more about relocation rules in our article.

The dining area was moved to the corner of the room, closer to the window. With this arrangement, up to four people can comfortably sit here.

Built a partition in the room

It helped separate the kitchen and bedroom-living room zones. A bed with side rails was placed in the newly formed niche. Since only one girl lives in the apartment, no one will disturb her during sleep — additional partitions were not needed.

Thanks to the smart arrangement of furniture in the center of the room, there was enough free space for dancing and yoga.

Shifted one of the walls

This wall separates living and non-living space. Since the designer needed to slightly adjust the bathroom size, the wall was moved a bit. As a result, here they placed a washing machine that didn't fit in the room.

Set up a wardrobe

It was placed in the hallway, but the designer tried to create an atmosphere of a full-fledged wardrobe room with a full-length mirror.

What was the result in the end?
