8 Ideas from a Stylish 30 m² Khrushchyovka That You Can Replicate Too

The apartment is located in a Khrushchyovka in the center of Moscow and belongs to a young woman. The interior was designed by designers from Huge Studio: at the request of the owner, it should have been restrained, durable, and functional. The focus was placed on a cool palette, built-in furniture, a compact kitchen, and smart use of every square centimeter. We share the techniques worth paying attention to.

Kitchen Adapted to Preferences

Since the client rarely cooks, designers installed a two-burner stove and a built-in dishwasher with a width of 45 cm. The refrigerator is also built into the base — this allowed maintaining compactness and not overloading the space.

Privacy Partition

The apartment was originally an open studio space, but architects decided to isolate the bedroom. For this purpose, a lightweight partition was erected, and now the relaxation area is hidden from view and separated from the kitchen-living room.

Economy on Materials Without Sacrificing Beauty

The main emphasis in the furniture was placed on LDPF rather than MDF: this allowed staying within budget. At the same time, the existing parquet was not changed but restored — it became an accent and enabled savings.

Microcement in the Bathroom

Gray microcement in the bathroom looks modern and minimalist. Important: a special composition suitable for wet rooms was used — thus, no problems arise during operation.

Smart Storage

The main storage system is located in the bedroom: designers worked out every drawer, shelf, and door. Thanks to built-in solutions, the entire wardrobe was hidden, leaving the space visually clean.

Painting a Nightstand to Fix an Error

One of the few elements ordered online — a bedside table. Its tone did not match the parquet tone, and designers simply painted it black: a simple way to adapt furniture without replacing it.

Budget Decor from Mass Market

Textiles and small interior elements were selected from mass market brands. Thanks to a minimalist color palette, even inexpensive items look harmonious and complement the apartment design.

Universal Palette

A blue and gray palette was used throughout the apartment.

The color palette visually expands the space, easily combines with natural materials, and works as a background for vibrant details if the owner decides to add them in the future.
