8 Ideas We Spotted in a 33 m² St. Petersburg Euromansion

Designers Andrey and Alena Timoniny decorated this small apartment for a young couple. Despite the modest 33 square meters, they managed to create a hallway, kitchen-living room, bedroom, and even hide a storage area in the bathroom.

Thanks to thoughtful re-planning, color choices, and custom furniture, the interior turned out cohesive and practical. We share some ideas worth noting.

Bedroom 8.5 m² with a full storage system

The small bedroom was made as functional as possible. It includes a wardrobe, a bed with a lifting mechanism, and built-in drawers in the platform. Everything is done in a unified color scheme to avoid visual fragmentation.

Color of furniture as a continuation of walls

To avoid visual clutter, cabinet furniture and doors were painted in wall color. This technique helps blend bulky elements into the space and makes the room feel lighter.

No boundaries at all

The spaces in the apartment smoothly transition into one another while remaining clearly zoned. Thanks to furniture, lighting, and color, logical boundaries were created between the hallway, kitchen, living room, and bedroom without partitions or a feeling of crowding.

Cork floor

Except for the bathroom, cork adhesive flooring (Corkart) was used throughout the apartment. It is warm, soft to the touch, resistant to moisture, and requires no joints—thus no visual interruptions.

Color as a zoning tool

The deep blue in the hallway contrasts with the light kitchen-living room, while the complex pink separates the entrance area from the guest zone. The effect not only visually expands the space but also adds rhythm and mood.

Custom furniture

Nearly all cabinet furniture was made to individual sketches: this solution allowed every centimeter to be utilized and adapted the interior to real needs of the couple without compromising comfort.

Style unity

Even the small bathroom is decorated in the same style as the whole apartment. A nightlight with reflected light is placed above the mirror, and the washing machine is hidden in a cabinet. Everything is thought out to the smallest detail.

Concrete texture for depth

For the finishing touches, Artbeton's decorative surface with a concrete texture was used. The material adds relief and character to the interior, especially when combined with matte paint and furniture in matching tones.
