Successful layout, smart home, and plenty of storage

This apartment is located in a Moscow new building in the VDNKh area. It is home to IT analyst Anastasia Usilina and her family: husband, son, and daughter. Anastasia and her husband carefully planned the layout, design, and did the renovation themselves. The main goal was to create a space where every family member feels comfortable.

About the Layout and Renovation

At the time of purchase, the apartment was just a concrete box, which served as an excellent starting point for implementing ideas. As a result, a harmonious space was created where the kitchen and living room are combined into one area. The bedroom with a study became a cozy corner for work and rest, while two children's rooms provided each child with their own personal space for play and activities. Additionally, a laundry room was set aside, and two bathrooms ensured convenience for the whole family and guests.

About the Kitchen-Living Room

For the kitchen, an L-shaped cabinet was chosen that maximizes the use of available space. A countertop 40 cm wide along one wall not only saves space but also creates a functional workspace. The cabinet was designed with consideration for the combination of monochromatic doors and doors with vertical routing, which gives a monochrome space expressiveness and dynamism. A coffee corner and a place for an air fryer were provided, as well as an original shelf with backlighting.

The living room area has a standard layout: it includes a comfortable sofa, TV, sideboard, and a narrow shelf that harmoniously complements the dining table in color. An impressive chandelier is the main highlight of the living room, adding atmosphere and emphasizing the overall design. A modern solution is smart lighting that allows easy adjustment of illumination depending on the time of day or mood.

About the Bedroom

For the bedroom, the most spacious room was chosen to create a cozy and functional space where a study and wardrobe are also located. A bed with a lifting mechanism provides additional storage space, while bedside tables on high supports give the interior a light touch.

The wardrobe without doors is left open, visually expanding the room, and a mirror placed opposite the entrance enhances this effect. The entrance to the wardrobe is designed with functional shelves. The study is separated by a decorative partition that does not close off the space. At the same time, curtains with electric drive are provided to create a cozy and private atmosphere.

About the Children's Rooms

In the son’s room, an original solution was implemented: a desk for hobbies easily transforms into a full-size bed. This allows efficient use of the available space and creates a comfortable atmosphere for play, activities, and rest.

In the daughter’s room, the space designated for a wardrobe is temporarily used for storing toys, books, and clothes. Soon, it is planned to place a bed and a desk here so the room becomes more functional and cozy.

In the entrance hall, ceiling height was visually increased thanks to doors with wooden panels reaching the ceiling. For convenient storage in the hallway, a mirror-finished wardrobe was installed. It is not only functional but also visually expands the space. To the left of the entrance, in a niche, a suspended structure with open shelves for small items and closed cabinets for belongings was installed. This solution helps maintain order and adds coziness to the interior.
