Corner Kitchen Cabinet in Contrasting Tones

For the kitchen, a corner cabinet model was chosen. This allowed for an ergonomic workspace and placement of all necessary items. For the doors, a contrasting combination of burgundy and white was selected. The upper shelf in wall color does not seem bulky and looks light.

Beautiful Zoning

Dense curtains were used for zoning. With their help, the bedroom and living room, as well as the entrance closet were separated. Textiles make the space cozy, provide privacy or, conversely, help unite zones.

Stylish Geometry

A standard-sized and styled sofa did not fit into the living room. An alternative was a model of an original shape — in the form of terracotta beans. Since there is a rounded wall in the interior, the sofa's shape was harmonized with it.

Workplace and Storage Behind Curtains

Storage was hidden behind curtains in the bedroom, next to a workspace. This is a great and convenient solution for a small room. You can easily hide zones from others by simply closing the curtains. In other times, they can be kept open to visually make the room appear more spacious, while the curtain remains a stylish accessory.

Mirror Wall

Behind the mirror wall in the hallway, there is a bathroom. Mirrors create a real wow effect upon entering and visually expand the space. Moreover, they are very convenient to look at from various zones in the apartment.

Functional Closet

To the right of the entrance, a full-sized closet was created. It includes primary storage for clothes and a robot vacuum station. One wall is entirely mirrored. For clothing storage, various arrangements were made, with high-quality lighting and shelf illumination.

Full-Fledged Laundry Room

The bathroom area allowed for a full-fledged laundry room, deliberately designed as a niche. In addition to the washing and drying machines, it includes sections for storing household chemicals, a rail for air-drying clothes, space for a ladder, iron, and other accessories. To ensure quick access and make a bold statement, the laundry room was hidden behind a vibrant terracotta curtain.
