7 Ideas We Borrowed from a Stylish 32 m² Studio in Minsk

A 32 m² studio in the residential complex «Minsk Mir» turned into a manifesto of color and compactness. Designer Julia Pоздняк didn't just decorate the interior, but created a space where every square meter is used wisely, and each accent delights the eye. We've selected 7 tricks that are easy to replicate, even if your apartment is a different size.

Green as the Base

Instead of the usual white or gray, the designer used a eucalyptus shade. It became not just an accent but the foundation for the entire interior. Against its backdrop, wood, black graphics, and bright accessories look great. The color works as a background but also adds coziness and individuality.

Vibrant Pouf in the Entrance

A small but expressive detail — a yellow pouf by the entrance. It becomes a focal point, sets the mood from the first step, and solves a practical task at the same time. This idea can be easily applied even in a standard entrance hall: choose a comfortable model and integrate it into the apartment's overall palette.

Partition That Doesn't Block Light

A transparent glass partition between the bedroom and living room makes zoning easy. The rooms retain their light, and the space feels larger — especially relevant for studios and small one-room apartments.

Appliances Hidden in a Cabinet

To keep the kitchen neat and minimalist, large household appliances like a microwave oven were moved into a column opposite. This solution freed up the work surface, making the kitchen more convenient even in a small space.

Vibrant Decor

From pillows to a painting above the bed — everything here is vibrant but carefully thought out. The colors are united by a common palette: yellow, orange, pink, green. Thanks to this, even a richly decorated space doesn't feel heavy but instead creates harmony.

Rug and Coffee Table for Zoning

A round rug with a graphic print and a cylindrical table separate the living room from the kitchen. The soft zone is perceived as a standalone area despite being in one space. This idea can be noted for any combined room.

Bathroom with Character

Even the bathroom here has a twist: flamingo, a rug shaped like a face, and a sculptural piece made of glazed ceramic transform the utilitarian zone into a space guests would love to show off.

And it reminds us: functionality doesn't interfere with irony.
