Upper cabinets were divided into two levels, which created attics for storing rarely used items and dishes. With them, the room looks neat and uncluttered — all necessary items are securely hidden behind cabinet doors.

To make the most of available space, the kitchen was made deeper than standard. This allowed creating a functional apron where all necessary items are stored: from grains to spices. Everything needed should be within reach but not necessarily visible at all times.

The refrigerator column was designed so that there's room for beautiful dishes and small household appliances. It was placed between two adjacent windows and complemented with attractive internal lighting. The vertical structure allows maximum efficient use of wall height, leaving more free space for movement.

The bedroom, as a place of rest, requires a special approach. A multi-functional storage system was designed around the bed. This allows maximizing space and creating additional storage areas. Bedside tables hidden in niches help maintain order, look stylish and neat.

Even a small bathroom can hold everything needed if every corner is used efficiently. In this bathroom, a cabinet was built into the niche for storing household chemicals and decorated with venetian blinds. Thanks to this solution, the room does not look overloaded.
