No Renovation Needed: 75 m² Trash Home with Minimalist Design

Designer Svetlana Mamaenko created an interior in a natural color palette in a 75 sq. m three-room apartment in a new building. The layout provided by the developer was already suitable for the clients, and they didn't change it. The task was to make this space beautiful, comfortable, and unique.

Layout

The layout provided by the developer was quite convenient: there is a common kitchen-living room, from which doors lead to the bedroom and children's room. There are two bathrooms — one main with a bathtub and one guest bathroom.

Kitchen-Living Room

The kitchen is linear along the wall opposite the window. It does not take up much space, making the visual space spacious and airy.

The cabinet sizes are standard, modules 60 cm wide, built-in refrigerator, all necessary built-in appliances — oven, microwave, dishwasher. Spacious storage is arranged in two levels in the upper cabinets.

Selected table with an unusual leg shape — one of the main accents in the kitchen-living room.The client wanted to place a turntable player, so a cabinet was specially selected for it.

The color palette is the main highlight of the interior. Everything here is built on a carefully selected natural tone palette and textures. The floor is engineered parquet, which the owners wanted to be exactly parquet for a tactile feel.

Shades in the living room windows are made of wood veneer.Bedroom

All walls are painted, except the wall behind the bedhead — there, Cole & Son wallpaper with a beautiful pattern was used.

Children's Room

The children’s room was intended to be as neutral as possible — oversized, so the accents were added through decor.

Bathrooms

Tiles are only used in wet zones, and most of the walls were painted in the guest bathroom and a micro-element in the main bathroom.

The ceiling is made of black wooden slats — very convenient for servicing the ventilation system hidden behind them. Such a ceiling adds depth and preserves the feeling of space and air.

Behind the cabinet is a column with the washing machine and dryer in a cabinet.

"In the guest bathroom, I arranged a lowered installation to make a unified surface of the shelf above the installation and the vanity countertop. This is very convenient and looks beautiful. The flush button is placed horizontally at the level of the countertop. Above the installation — spacious storage," — the designer explains.

Entrance Hall

In the entrance hall and bedroom, IKEA frames were used for wardrobes, and custom-made doors in the desired color were made for them. This allowed optimizing the budget without compromising beauty.
