6 Tips We Spotted in a Stylish 69 m² Apartment

When an interior is designed for rental, designers usually prefer to play it safe: neutral colors, simple furniture, minimal bright solutions. But in this Simferopol apartment, designer Tatiana Petrova made a bet on something else — a vibrant interior with expressive details and clear logic.

The 69 m² apartment was decorated for the adult daughter of the client who lives in another city, so the space was planned to be easily rented out and adapted for personal use in the future. We've selected 6 tips we'd love to repeat.

Paint the ceiling a bold color and not be afraid

The ceiling in the bathroom is painted deep emerald green, while the same tone appears in tiles, textiles, and furniture throughout the rest of the apartment. The solution unifies the interior, works as a color border, and adds depth even to small spaces.

Use botanical wallpapers with character

Rather than boring prints, actual botanics with a theme were used. In the bedroom — large leaves of monstera with butterflies and monkeys, in the living room — wallpapers with a large plant ornament, and on the kitchen wall — even the exhaust fan was decorated with floral motifs. Together, they create a sense of a living, thoughtfully designed interior with its own voice.

Make the kitchen entry from the living room and close it with a partition

To meet norms, the kitchen was left in place, but thanks to a new opening, it became more convenient. It is now connected to the living room. The designer also provided a sliding glass partition that allows isolating the zone when needed.

Divide the living room with a sofa

The living room is passable, which often becomes an issue in zoning. Here the solution is simple and elegant: the sofa is placed with its back to the dining area, visually dividing the room without overburdening the space.

Find space for a walk-in closet

In the bedroom, part of the balcony was glazed and turned into a spacious walk-in closet. It features glass partitions, and there was also space for a cozy vanity table next to it. A smart solution that provides maximum utility with minimal cost.

Highlight the bathroom zone with patterned tiles

The bathroom is only 3 m², but it looks fancy. The floor features an accent pattern that visually separates the bathroom zone, while the rest of the tiles mimic marble and black fixtures create a clean, stylish design.
