5 Budget Solutions for Transforming the Kitchen-Living Room

This kitchen in a small 2-room apartment was decorated by home stylists Svetlana Izотовa, Irina Kulikova, and Salmag Semenova. Using simple and budget-friendly techniques, they transformed the developer's renovation and created a vibrant functional interior. We share great ideas from the project that are easy to apply in your apartment's interior.

To make the space more expressive, part of the kitchen walls were painted in a pleasant green tone, and in the living room — in coral. Natural green visually expands the space, while warm coral helps create a cozy atmosphere.

The kitchen was assembled from ready-made standard modules. Furniture was placed in two rows to form an island with a convenient work surface for cooking. The functional island zones the space and serves as additional storage.

The backsplash was made with the same pattern as on the side parts of the island and the dining table top. Unified finishing makes the interior more cohesive and complete.

Chairs in the kitchen and a sofa in the living room were chosen with saturated fabric. Brightly colored furniture makes the interior warm and joyful, evoking only positive emotions.

Soft textiles can quickly make the interior attractive and cozy. Monochrome light curtains, a bulky throw blanket, and a textured rug will create a truly warm and comfortable atmosphere in the home.
