Elegant Interior in a Cozy Studio Apartment in an Old House

The area of this apartment built in 1893 is only 48 square meters. However, designers from Faomi managed to transform it into a closed storage zone with plenty of wardrobes, a bar counter, and everything necessary for comfortable living.LOCATION: MoscowAREA: 48 sq. mROOMS: 1DESIGN: FAOMISTYLIST: Kira ProkhorovaPHOTOS: Alexander VolodinLayout

The space was designed as a studio: the kitchen, living room, and bedroom are located in one part. Zoning is achieved through lighting, furniture, and decor. Most items were made according to sketches by Svetlana Shaldybina.

Light curtains soften the interior and reveal a magnificent view of the Dolgoruky-Bobrinsky estate.

Corridor

In the entrance hall, there is a built-in puff under which a closed shoe cabinet is located. The wall above the puff is covered with fabric panels with hooks for outerwear. There is no ceiling lighting—two wall sconces near the mirror and one on the wall were chosen instead.

Automatic built-in lighting works in the more distant cabinets. All the clothing, suitcases, and household items are stored in wardrobes up to the ceiling.

Living Room

In the living room niche, a sleeping area with sliding storage drawers was installed. Behind the pillows, there is a shelf for a phone and books, and on the wall—lighting fixtures. The zone separates from the main room using semi-transparent curtains, and there is a niche in the ceiling for hidden curtain rails.

Here, a classic sofa with contrasting cushions and a mirror-door wardrobe that visually breaks up the space are placed.Kitchen

A green kitchen set was installed, upper cabinets with internal lighting, a stone apron and countertop. An integrated extractor hood with a shelf for small items was mounted above the stove.

The bar counter with black legs and countertop was custom-made, while the chandelier and sconces were inherited.

Bathroom

The bathroom was tiled with graphic "calf" tiles with a matte surface. The floor features contrasting ceramic granite with an ornament and aged edges, and the ceiling is lined with gypsum cornices.

The mirror in a metal frame visually expands the space and increases ceiling height. A cabinet with combs hangs above the toilet, and to the right of the plumbing fixtures is a cabinet with a washing machine and dryer.
