In 2017, studio apartments and simply small-sized in new residential complexes economy and comfort class occupy up to 70% of all apartments. And in every third interior project, Mossebo designers work with a studio or room with an area of 8-9 square meters. The secrets of the competent organization of the space of a small apartment lie not only in visual expansion space, but also in creating storage space and saving space even on minimal elements.
In the interior of small apartments, many features must be taken into account - compactness functional areas, low light, but one of the main problems will always be the lack of space and storage areas. IN classic apartments people are "saved" by pantries, mezzanines or large cupboards. In the case of a studio, you have to choose: keep things at home, get rid of "excess" or rent storage space. We will discuss how to find a compromise between these solutions and save space in the apartment as much as possible.
Furniture transformer
To save space, the first and obvious solution will be transforming furniture. Most simple examples: sofa bed, sliding table and folding chairs, but there are more original options... This is a mirror-shelf with hidden drawers for storing jewelry or cosmetics, and hidden consoles with folding furniture. The use of such solutions is always associated with a trade-off - so you should not choose as the main sleeping place convertible sofa if you are not ready to fold it every day.
Furniture matryoshka
Another focus is matryoshka furniture. Several pieces of furniture are inserted into each other and take 3-4 times less space... This avoids the clutter effect without using flimsy folding furniture. There can be many examples; the most common are benches inserted into each other, stools, coffee tables, but there are also original solutions- chairs hidden in the rack.
Compact nursery
If you also need to fit a children's room in a small apartment, you can put a bunk bed. At the same time, ceilings are desirable from 3 meters, otherwise the upper tier will be too close to the ceiling. If one child lives in the room, then a study or play area can be placed in the lower part. And if there are two children in the family, then both tiers will occupy the beds. To ensure that each child has a personal space for privacy, curtains can be installed on the sleeping places. Usually, such a bulky piece of furniture, like a bunk bed, is installed close to the wall or in the corner of the room.
Hidden handles and little tricks in the kitchen
The real problem is to organize a full-fledged kitchen at the extreme 6 meters. And this is exactly how much the kitchen takes in both old Khrushchev houses and in new studios. You can also save space by increasing its comfort. Therefore, the handles on the doors should not eat up space, and should be replaced with hidden hinges and a click-on system. Such doors open with a light push. The hidden light in the cooking area and in the dining area will also save money, because in a fresh renovation there is nothing worse than portable lamps with a mountain of wires.
Table top on the windowsill
Using the window sill space for the working area or the needs of the kitchen is an affordable solution in all apartments where the wet area and window are correctly located. It is worth recalling that the standard plastic window sill not suitable for the needs of the workspace. The expansion of the window sill occurs at the expense of the table top, which can be wood, stone, quartz or artificial stone... It is worthwhile to process the joints with high quality and calculate the window openings, think over ways to protect against moisture and temperature extremes.
The space under the windowsill can also be adjusted. The simplest solution is to push bar stools into this niche, but you can also place larger items, such as a washing or dishwasher... Some people use a window sill to place the kitchen area, install a stove and an oven, in this case, you can do without a hood and open the window when cooking.
Ergonomic zoning
In studios where more than one person lives, there is often a need to hide the bedroom area from the main space in order to provide an opportunity for privacy for sleeping. When there is not enough space for this, you have to literally build a separate room around the bed. The easiest thing is to enclose the bedroom area with a dense fabric. Often they install dark partitions or build a whole box, but in this case, you need to carefully consider ventilation.
In studios with high ceilings, it is possible to add a second floor for a sleeping area. Many people place the kitchen under it, but in this case, all kitchen smells will rise to the bed. It would be wiser to place a work area or living room on the ground floor. To save space, the staircase to the second floor can be turned into a storage area by converting the steps into drawers or the side part into a wardrobe.

Understand that the interior design of any apartment begins with planning, but it is especially true for small spaces. Therefore, do not be lazy to draw a plan of the room with a pencil on a piece of paper, and below write down those furnishings that are necessary for this room.
