Elegant Loft in a Compact One-Room Apartment of 32 Square Meters

Is it possible to create a harmonious and modern living space in just 32 square meters? It turns out, yes — the layout designed by designer Maria Dadiani serves as an example.

She managed to turn an old small apartment into a cozy loft with an ergonomic storage system — the perfect solution for a single owner. And yes, the visual approach to the loft is not quite conventional at first glance, but very original.

What Changed

A typical corridor in a Khrushchyovka did not provide convenience, as it was impossible to fully turn around in it. Now, it is a bright and wide entrance hall where you can store items.

The wall separating the kitchen and living room was transformed into a partition with glass windows — this solved the zoning issue. Instead of a bathtub, a shower was installed, which added more space in the bathroom.

Finishing

Budget-friendly materials were mainly used in the renovation. The floor was covered with laminate and ceramic tiles, walls were finished with decorative brick, and other surfaces were painted with paint.

Storage System

An auxiliary area was set up at the entrance for bulky items, and a wardrobe for outerwear was placed further along.

Everything necessary was arranged on the kitchen, and even a washing machine was placed in the buffet. Despite the limited space, several storage areas for various utensils and items were created.

Furniture and Appliances

All furniture in the apartment is functional, with no unnecessary items. The kitchen table and chairs can be adjusted in height, providing the possibility to transform them into bar seating for guests.

A TV on a retractable mount was placed between shelving units — this is particularly convenient if you want to watch lying on the sofa.

Bedroom in a niche

Another interesting solution was to set up a bedroom in a niche. Along the perimeter of the niche, gypsum board protrusions were built in wall color. The top was used to hide a curtain rod that conceals this area from outsiders.

To the left, a protrusion was designed for a built-in wardrobe for storage in the bedroom. Mirror facades visually make the space wider, while numerous pull-out drawers increase functionality.
