5 Really Cool Solutions We Spotted in a 35 sqm Studio Apartment

Small apartments can be not only functional but also stylish. With thoughtful layout and beautiful design, it's possible to create a cozy and unique space where living comfortably and hosting guests is pleasant. Here are five interesting ideas from a studio apartment designed by Pavel Bakanych.

Window Between Kitchen and Foyer

An original accent in the kitchen is a window above the sink. It serves an aesthetic purpose, visually expanding the space and allowing natural light to enter the foyer, transforming a small entrance area into a cozier and brighter one. This is an ideal solution for tiny apartments where every square meter counts.

Bedroom Behind Glass

A glass partition between the bedroom and the main room offers a stylish and modern solution for small apartments. It allows for space separation without sacrificing light or the feeling of openness. This approach works well for studios as well as apartments with a separate bedroom.

Terracotta Walls and Ceiling

For wall and ceiling finishing in the bedroom, a terracotta tone was used. It creates a warm, intimate atmosphere — in such a color palette, the feeling of comfort and tranquility becomes especially vivid and supports full rest. Terracotta pairs beautifully with light wardrobe finishing and green plants that bring freshness to the space.

Glass Blocks in Wardrobe and Bathroom

The wall between the bathroom and wardrobe is decorated with glass blocks. They preserve privacy while ensuring sufficient light, eliminating the feeling of being enclosed in a box. Additionally, glass blocks are waterproof and do not deteriorate from moisture.

Brick in Foyer Decoration

The walls of the foyer are decorated with handcrafted 19th-century brick. It gives the room a unique character and texture, adding an atmosphere of vintage and uniqueness. This material is excellent for foyer decoration — it's durable and has good sound insulation properties.

Design of a small apartment should not be boring or standard. Rejecting traditional approaches and experimenting with colors, textures, and forms can transform even the smallest room into unique and comfortable living space.
