How They Furnished a Tiny St. Petersburg Apartment of 25 m²

The owner of this studio entrusted the decoration of her modest home to designer Nikita Zub. The main task was to organize a comfortable space for living and relaxation within limited square meters.

Let's see what came out of it.

• Rooms: 1
• Bathrooms: 1
• Ceiling Height: 2.5 m
• Residents: 1
• Budget: around 500 thousand rubles
• Design: Nikita Zub

Layout

They did not change the original layout. They only added a partition with sliding doors that isolates the kitchen from the rest of the room.

Storage

An attic is installed in the corridor where rarely used items can be stored. There's also an open clothing rack, a bench-shoe cabinet, and an entry console.

The kitchen cabinets hang only on one side but reach the ceiling, allowing for plenty of storage space.

Under the bed in the bedroom, there are slide-out drawers. The living room is separated from this area by a bookshelf that serves as a headboard, side table, and shelf at the same time.

Shelves are located above the sofa and TV, while a spacious loft-style dresser under the television decorates the interior.

Lighting

The central lighting fixture is a ceiling light on a rod. It provides a wide range of rotation and features adjustable height. The mounting point is decorated with a classic socket, which is typical for Scandinavian interiors in old Swedish houses.

There are also Swedish table lamps and a floor lamp with a swivel shade in the apartment.

Color

The small apartment is done in light gray tones, making the tight space appear wider. The style in the studio reflects Scandinavian notes.

White baseboards, door frames, and furniture contrast beautifully with the soft color palette.

Furniture and Decor

The kitchen, wardrobes, bed, and side table were custom-made. Additional plans include purchasing shelves, a table, and foldable chairs from IKEA for storage in the wardrobe.

Textiles and decor were mainly selected at IKEA.
