How to Create a Stylish Micro-Kitchen in a Studio Apartment

This single-room apartment of 38 m² in St. Petersburg became the first shared home for our heroes. Anastasia, a textile designer, and her husband Maxim, who works in IT, chose comfort and convenient location over large space.

The kitchen-living room here became the heart of the home: compact dimensions did not prevent the housewife from creating a stylish and functional area for cooking and relaxing.

Anastasia designed and supervised the renovation herself: she made drawings, visualizations, prepared a budget estimate, and managed the process as a foreman. The main goal was to create an interior reflecting her personality, filled with colors and vintage details.

Insparation for the design came from Peronda tiles with a worn effect: our heroine saw them in one of the online projects and couldn't forget about it. For this element, she had to adjust the budget, but the result was worth the investment. The wow effect begins right at the entrance — the tiles became the main accent of the hallway, setting the tone for the entire interior.

The green walls in the kitchen-living room were painted with English paint Little Greene, and French Argile was chosen for the hallway. Complex shades harmoniously fit into the overall concept of the apartment, adding comfort and depth.

The kitchen cost 350,000 rubles: despite some imperfections and lengthy corrections, the result justified expectations.

Vintage elements play a key role in the room's decoration. Czechoslovakian chairs from Avito complement the dining area, and the table looks just as impressive.

The kitchen turned out not just beautiful, but full of individuality. The housewife wanted to create a space that would be comfortable for her alone, and not follow trends.
