5 coolest budget ideas, spotted in a pristine 2-room apartment

Designer Olga Kalitina created a universal yet not 'faceless' interior in a 38-square-meter two-room apartment. She filled the space with interesting and eye-catching solutions that delight the eye. Take note.

Trendy square tile

For the kitchen backsplash, a neutral option was used that won't go out of style. This is white 10×10 cm tile from a Russian manufacturer: despite this being a fairly classic model, it simultaneously meets the trend for square tile in minimalist interiors.

Unconventional light fixture placement

Agree, a suspended light fixture instead of a top kitchen cabinet is an unexpected solution. In the project, it's due to the location of the access panel for utilities. But this technique can be used in any interior. It looks stylish and unbanal.

Wallpaper in unusual places

The designer highlighted the space above completely ordinary cabinets using molding and vibrant wallpapers with a print. This immediately makes the interior look fresh. By the way, such round mirrors are associated with classical historical drawing rooms. At the same time, their design and placement are not quite classical, which adds an element of playfulness to the modern minimalist interior.

Painting in blocks

To make the interior more interesting without increasing the budget, you can use regular paint. Two contrasting shades were used here along with molding on the wall by the headboard. Believe us, this inexpensive solution will completely transform even the simplest living space.

Combination of tile and paint

Another 'workable' trick is to use tile together with paint in the bathroom. Paint usually costs less and is easier to apply. In addition, a colored wall and ceiling add style to a simple interior.
