Many Russians live in small apartments. And most often it's not a lonely young man or a young married couple, but a full-fledged family, and even with several children or with one of the parents. Therefore, we know how important it is to get rid of things in time to at least somehow expand the habitat. Readers will definitely be interested to look at the design ideas for the design of small residential spaces.

Creative people know that when they are placed in the framework of restrictions, they find the most unusual ways of fulfilling their plans. The result of clever decisions of strategic design is the perfect order in the house, and the author is bursting with pride for his creation.

Style is important

Of course, the interior of a studio apartment should be stylish, but what do you like? Bright colors, pronounced contrasts or measured neutral tones with flashes of accents. For example, on Mary Cook Associates website there is such an interior in bright colors that excite the imagination.

You live in an attic, a semi-basement room, or because of other characteristics, communications pass through your home. Take advantage of industrial or urban style. In them pipes, beams, rough building textures look not as a defect, but as one of the best decors. By the way, an excellent solution for those who do not want to use a wardrobe. Clothes just hang on hangers. Surely, somewhere in the field of view of the camera that was renting this wonderful apartment, there is a chest of drawers for the rest of things.

Industrial style

Many different styles of design came up for today. Modern man wants to live in comfort, but he also does not forget about the beauty of the surrounding world. How, you ask, combine household appliances in high-tech style with the carved legs of the table and ordinary storage cabinets. The answer is: very simple. Each thing will find its place, and you will only have to slightly adjust the interior with the help of small decorative elements, so that the blending of styles becomes organic. For example, in a modern apartment, the employees of The Cross Design hung an Empire-style mirror and put an outdoor mirror in a wooden carved frame of the times of classicism, through which we see a completely modern kitchen set and a vintage chandelier.

Plan space

So, we have a small living space, and we so want to have a bedroom, a living room, and a comfortable kitchen with a dining room. This is possible if professional designers will use every centimeter of your housing functionally. In this case, it even seems to you spacious. In the project from the company iDesignArch there was a place for the legendary chair Eames Lounge Chair.

A logical layout allows you to enjoy the space

It is worth making an important observation. The layout of the studio must float along the lines of the bearing walls. If there is a narrow pencil case, then it is not worth it to clutter up large furniture across the room. For example, the staff of Jordan Parnass Digital Architecture installed a bed on the podium at the end of the room, and the rest of the furniture was placed along the walls, without blocking the space. And only a large corner sofa separates the sleeping area from the living room and workplace.

Pastel colors expand the space

Lighting

Of course, the presence of large windows, and not yet draped with heavy curtains, will help make a small apartment lighter, more comfortable and more spacious. Naturally, we do not call for the abandonment of privacy, but it is better to use light curtains, half-closed blinds. And if your dwelling on the upper floors and in the windows is not looking at you, then you should think about the complete absence of curtains. Let the sun's rays play on the walls and furniture and wake you up in the morning, charging with a good mood for the whole day.

For various reasons, natural light may not be enough. Well, there is only one advice - use artificial lighting reasonably. It should not dazzle, its function is to give as much bright light as necessary in a particular case and place. Look at the same apartment from a different angle.

A good idea is zoning with the help of a color scheme. Although for the design of a sleeping place it would be better to have calmer tones, but for a common zone, for example, for a kitchen or a dining room, saturated colors would be an excellent solution.
