The apartment with a small area of 37 square meters is one-room and absolutely did not represent the possibility of expanding the space using additional premises. Therefore, some difficulties arose when creating a new design project.
As a result, the authors had to sacrifice the territory of the corridor, which, according to the new layout, moved to other zones. In its place, modern spacious storage systems appeared in the form of a large closet, which simultaneously divides the space of the living room and the hallway.
The style is typical for people with established views who are not afraid to change anything in their lives. All elements of the interior are made of natural raw materials: the walls are lined with bricks, the sofa is covered with leather, cabinet furniture and ceiling finishes are made of wood.
Plan
From the point of view of modern approaches to the comfort and convenience of residential premises, this apartment, built in the last century, does not meet the conditions for the proper organization of space.
Experts dismantled almost all the structures that separate the room, hallway and kitchen. The result is a huge spacious room filled with natural light and air.
As a result of the redevelopment of the corridor and the use of free space, the designers were lucky enough to enlarge the bathroom. After installing a wardrobe separating the living room from the entrance, a small cozy entrance hall was formed.
Storage
In a small apartment, it is quite difficult to organize and install many functional storage systems. Especially if it does not even provide for an elementary pantry. In this room, the most important and capacitive place for storing things was a huge closet at the entrance.
It has also become possible to hide accessories in the cabinet under the TV, in kitchen cabinets, bathroom furniture, as well as in the original tables-chests located next to the sofa.
Light
The task of lighting a small area has a very original solution. The customer refused standard chandeliers and lights. He wished to use extraordinary ceiling water pipes with cylindrical lamps attached to them. This non-standard design element perfectly complemented the style of the interior.
The function of secondary illumination of the room is performed by wall lamps purchased in the store, located above the dining table. They are attached with custom forged brackets.
Color
To emphasize the long history of the house, the designers used techniques that were fashionable in the last century: a high elegant plinth was installed around the entire perimeter, and the door and windows were decorated with portals. Thus, another style, the Stalinist Empire style, quite organically fit into the interior design.
