Euroroom-greenhouse 49 m² with original storage

The leitmotif of this cozy euroroom is a Soviet greenhouse. Designer Anastasia Struve used bright colors, different textures and finishing materials. The interior was created for a young couple with a cat. Customers often work from home, so one of the main tasks was to provide two separate workspaces.

Room tour of this apartment (47 minutes) About layout and renovation

The apartment was delivered with white box pre-finishing. The floor screed was left as is, radiators were replaced, some walls were built and sockets were added. On 49 m² it was possible to arrange a separate bedroom, kitchen-living room, entrance hall, combined bathroom and two offices.

This room is a real feast of finishing materials: paint, wallpaper, glass blocks, tiles, cornice — they were mixed to maintain the botanical garden style and make the interior expressive.

In the corner near the sofa, the wall was decorated with bordeaux paint and complemented with contrasting vertical lighting. The light lines pull the room upwards, visually increasing ceiling height. Opposite the sofa is a storage system that smoothly flows from the corridor. The center of it has sockets for mounting TV bracket.

The corner kitchen cabinet is made in a bright blue shade. The worktop was extended to a functional bar counter with additional storage. To avoid cluttering the space, upper cabinets were abandoned and built-in appliances and storage units were moved to the opposite wall.

About the bedroom

For wall finishing in the bedroom, a dark green enveloping shade was chosen. It promotes relaxation and comfortable rest. The bedroom is divided into several zones. The sleeping area is a bed with a soft textured headboard, which is equipped with atmospheric lighting from above. On the sides are different storage systems, one side has a wooden shelf, the other - a suspended cabinet.

Above the bed, the wall is decorated with glass blocks leading to the kitchen and plant motifs. Above it, there is a deliberately built box where utilities, lighting and a roller blind are hidden, which can close the glass blocks when needed.

Opposite the bed is an original storage system. The cabinet is made in three colors - white and green on the outside and yellow inside. The fronts have mirrors that echo the mirror in the entrance hall. Between the white cabinets is a cabinet, above which the TV will be placed, and functional shelves.

About the offices

The long balcony was divided into two parts, creating two offices in each. As a partition, glass blocks were used. From the bedroom side, the office is called 'dark', as it is also made in enveloping green shades. It has an ergonomic desk with a lifting mechanism, a soft chair and shelves for storage. From the kitchen side, the office is brighter - furniture is arranged symmetrically to the office behind the glass blocks.

About the entrance hall

In this small space, there is a load-bearing beam, so efforts were made to fit everything necessary within its framework. For finishing the beam itself, travertine was used - a unique material for decorative stucco with an unusual texture and excellent appearance. The entrance zone was decorated in a deep blue shade. According to the designer's concept, it represents night. Retro lights and wall sconces are images of bright stars.

To the right of the entrance, there is a shallow cabinet for everyday clothes, bags and shoes. The electrical panel is hidden in it, and water utilities are concealed above. Space under the cabinet is reserved for storing a vacuum cleaner and sockets. Further down the corridor is an elegant arched mirror, which corresponds to the interior concept and recalls old windows in a greenhouse.

About the bathroom

Bathroom finishing is maximally close to the atmosphere of a real greenhouse. On the walls, washable wallpapers with plant motifs and an original structure imitating greenhouse doors are used. All panels open and allow for full cleaning. The structure is equipped with concealed lighting. For finishing other surfaces, fashionable terrazzo tiles were used, and the ceiling was painted green.

The room area allowed placing a full bathtub, installation, storage areas and two basins of large and small sizes. Instead of a countertop, white mosaic was used, instead of a standard curtain, a glass shower curtain.
