Another Idea for Decorating a 30 Square Meter Apartment

This single-room apartment with a total area of 30 square meters and high ceilings (five meters!) includes a spacious living room, a separate bedroom on the mezzanine level (thanks to the high ceilings), and even a terrace with a view of the dock. To zone the space throughout the apartment while maintaining a sense of openness, designers added niches made from gypsum board. These were also used as storage spaces to avoid cluttering the area with additional wardrobes.

The main color in the finishing is white. Walls and floor of the same shade erase boundaries. Additionally, designers intentionally stuck to a neutral color palette and avoided large prints that would emphasize the small area.

In the living room, furniture is selected to match wall color, making the space appear larger. However, to define the rest area near the sofa and dining area, beige tones were used: wooden chairs at the dining table, a carpet, and a wooden coffee table.

The kitchen is visually separated from the living room by partitions on both sides. To save space in the kitchen and free up work surface, all appliances were built into the cabinet. For example, the microwave is mounted on a bracket rather than placed on the countertop as usual.

The bedroom is located on the mezzanine level. Due to a niche in the wall, there was enough space for not only a large bed and a workspace corner but also a wardrobe.

In the bathroom, as in the rest of the apartment, everything is well planned. For example, to add extra storage space without overloading the area with boxes, designers installed a shelf above the washing machine.

The hallway has space for a coat rack and a wardrobe. The sliding door wardrobe is not a random choice, as it saves space compared to regular doors.

The highlight of the apartment is a terrace with a view of the dock. First, it continues and expands the living room, and second, it fills the entire apartment with daylight, which is crucial in small spaces.
