How We Transformed a 50 m² Studio in 2 Months (Before and After Photos)

Designers from the studio "Home Staging with Love" transformed a standard 2-room apartment of 50 sq. m into a vibrant and functional interior in just two months. The challenges of layout and limited space were a real test for the team: they had to accommodate a kitchen, dining area, and relaxation zone within a small space.

Additional constraints came from the strictly prescribed placement of an air conditioner, as required by the developer. However, designers found unique and efficient solutions that maximized the apartment's advantages, including panoramic windows and high ceilings. In the end, the typical layout became convenient and modern, meeting all the owners' desires.

The transformation was carried out by the team of the studio "Home Staging with Love"—designers Irina Kuliakova, Julia Gridneva and Olesya Ivashkina. The project stands out for its bold use of vibrant colors, meticulous attention to every square meter, and striking interior accents.

Before Renovation

The main goal was to create a cozy and functional space where the owners would feel comfortable, and the interior would reflect their character and lifestyle.

Before Renovation

The kitchen-dining area, measuring just 14 sq. m, was typical of new developments: cramped and inconvenient for clear separation of functional zones.

The situation was complicated by the strictly prescribed location for the air conditioner, which limited possible layouts.

Designers positioned the sofa so it became the main focal point of the room and visually divided the space, highlighting a cozy relaxation zone.

The dining area was moved closer to the panoramic window, making it more secluded and allowing owners to enjoy a beautiful city view thanks to the high ceiling of the apartment.

About the Bedroom

Before renovation, the room looked standard, despite having two large windows that visually expanded its space.

After the update, the bedroom became bright and airy. A bold design solution was a large headboard made from soft vertical panels glued directly to the wall, which allowed perfect customization of its size.

This solution gave the bedroom's interior a special sense of comfort and individuality.

About the Flexible Room

The room was originally typical, without a clearly defined function or interior accents.

Designers made it versatile by adding a workspace and using a cabinet and chair in the overall color palette of the apartment as bold accents.

This made the room a harmonious part of the overall interior solution.

About the Bathroom

The bathroom initially looked dull and unexpressive due to standard developer solutions.

Designers added individuality to the interior by using contrasting tile joints and matching the bathtub screen and toilet panel to the overall tone.

A bold poster on the panel not only gave the room more expressiveness but also skillfully concealed construction imperfections.

As a result of the work done, a typical 2-room apartment of 50 sq. m was transformed into a stylish and functional space that fully meets the owners' needs. Designers skillfully used layout features, color accents, and unconventional solutions to create a cozy and modern interior. Each room received its own character while maintaining an overall style, and the bold approach to decoration made the apartment not only convenient but also visually attractive.
