Our studio was tasked with developing the design of a bright and cozy modern apartment for a couple. The family consists of two adults who, over time, plan to replenish and a pet. All the nuances had to be taken into account and a living space suitable for all points had to be created.

The apartment is located on the 23rd floor in the residential complex Kakhovskaya, in Kiev, its area is 70.3 sq.m. To fulfill all the wishes of the customers, it was necessary to redevelop the existing solutions. As a result, out of the six layouts provided by us, the owners chose the most optimal solution. Now the apartment consists of an entrance hall, a kitchen-living room, a master bedroom, a nursery, a main bathroom, a guest bathroom with a laundry room, a dressing room and a storage room.

The couple love to host. Sometimes relatives stay with them, so the wish was to come up with a place to stay for the guests. Since we were limited in space, and we still had to complete many difficult tasks, we decided that it would be a good option to put a comfortable sofa from Interia in the living room. It will not only be a cozy corner for gatherings, it can be expanded and create an additional place to sleep. And this is exactly what the owners need!

In general, the common space, which consists of a kitchen, a small dining area and a living room, turned out to be bright and stylish. Pastel shades of floor, wall and furniture finishes visually expand the space. And the dark decor and some pieces of furniture serve as a contrasting addition to the interior.

The kitchen area is small, but it has everything you need for hospitable hosts to prepare their favorite dishes and delicious treats for guests. The kitchen has a U-shape. On the right we placed a built-in refrigerator, oven and microwave. Further there is a sink with a work surface and a built-in electric stove. There is a compact bar on the left where you can have breakfast or use it as an additional work surface.

The owners wanted the interior to be aesthetic, practical and as functional as possible. Therefore, here you will not see any frills in the form of complex plasterboard structures or heaps of decor. The interior is neat and clean. Furniture and small details were chosen to be minimalistic so that they do not eat up precious square meters.

We have located a seating area by the window where the couple can spend time comfortably watching movies or reading books.

The bar area is opposite the window, so the owners can admire the view outside the window while eating. Separately, I would like to note the bar stools, which fit well into the space. The combination of white and wood in them brings a touch of Scandinavia to the interior.

For a leisurely meal or in case guests arrive, we've set up a compact dining area against the wall. It does not interfere with movement around the apartment and serves as a separate functional area.

A wooden panel on the wall has become a real decoration of the dining area. She visually distinguishes this place, and natural material creates additional comfort. Another highlight is the unusual ceiling lights hanging over the table. They not only serve as an additional source of light, but also add sophistication to the interior with their sophisticated appearance.

We had to think hard about zoning open-space. The bar table is positioned so as not only to fulfill its direct function, it also separates the kitchen area from the living room. The partition and table top are made of light modern material that does not load, but as if dissolves into space.

Open-space turned out to be light, spacious and functional - the way the owners wanted it to be. There is enough space for daily routine and relaxation, and most importantly, all this takes place in an aesthetic and inspiring space.

Since customers do not like dull rooms, but want the apartment to be light, we have thought out several lighting scenarios. Each functional area has its own light source. They are all different, but they are combined in character and general mood. We used pendant lights from Nowodvorski lighting and ESL track lights. There is also additional lighting for the kitchen worktop and decorative lighting in the dining area, which is emphasized by the wood panel.

In the hallway, we placed a minimalistic console cabinet where you can hide various small things so as not to create visual noise; mirror to fix your hair before going out; and the complementary ensemble of the entrance lobby - a laconic pouf.

Upon entering the apartment, we find ourselves in a bright, cozy space. Even from the doorway, it is noticeable that people with taste live here who value aesthetics and minimalism. The living room is partially visible from the hallway. There are no thresholds and unnecessary doors, which creates a feeling of spaciousness and does not interfere with free movement around the apartment. We applied vinyl flooring in the hallway, corridor and open-space area. This unites all rooms and sets a single mood.

The interior of the corridor is made in complete minimalism. We used a gray color paint from Kolorit as a wall decoration, and we chose interior doors in a single design from the Dooris manufacturer. There is a guest bathroom behind the doors on the left. Walking straight along the corridor, we find ourselves in the nursery and master bedroom. On the right side there is an entrance door and a dressing room.

This project provides for two bathrooms: guest and master. The area of ​​the guest bathroom is just over 3 sq.m. There is a modern plumbing installation with a hygienic shower and a small sink at the entrance. The design of the bathroom is minimalistic, with porcelain stoneware used for the floor and part of the walls, and the walls were finished with a warm shade of paint. The lighting here is represented by two point built-in ceiling lamps and additional illumination of the mirror and the wall above the toilet.

But, since it was planned to make a utility block here, in addition to the standard plumbing equipment, we provided an area with a washing and drying machine, as well as shelves for household chemicals and a place for a basket of laundry. All this is successfully hidden behind the swing doors. The door facades are made in wood and have a pleasant warm shade, so even a simple bathroom becomes a little more comfortable.

The main bathroom with an area of ​​4.8 square meters is made in gray tones with dark accents in the form of furniture and details. The main wish of the customers was the presence of a full bathroom and walk in shower. We could not deny them this desire and we managed to place a bathroom, shower and washing area in a small area.

Under the sink are spacious drawers with black minimalist handles. Here the owners will be able to store all their bath accessories, and leave the most beautiful jars near the sink. We also placed an elongated mirror in this area. It helps to make the space more voluminous.

Floor, bath and walls, except one, are tiled with the same tiles. This solution makes the interior minimalistic and laconic. A glass partition in a black metal profile was installed on the bathtub, which is combined with other details of the room. This baffle prevents water from splashing over the entire space. A niche with lighting for cosmetics and various little things was made in the wall.

The owners did not want the children's room to stand out from the overall style of the interior. They like restrained colors, but at the same time not boring, with bright accents. Therefore, we made the interior of the nursery in pastel colors and added bright details to the furniture, and on one of the walls we decided to use photo wallpaper with a pattern.

We did not attach to the age or gender of the child, we made the room universal. There is a comfortable sleeping area, a place for both active games and study. We also thought of a functional storage system that can fit all the things and toys of the child.

The central place is occupied by a bed in the form of a house. It is not only comfortable for sleeping, but also attracts attention with its design. In the children's room, we paid special attention to materials, so we used only natural and non-toxic coatings.

We also thought of a comfortable study corner. Here the child can do homework, sit at the computer, read. The storage system consists of open shelves and closed compartments. You can hide books and stationery in them. Of course, the wall with photo wallpaper catches the eye. She decorates the interior and fills it with colors.

In the nursery, we made the most of the space. Therefore, all the necessary functional areas are well placed. Closed shelves are supposed to store clothes, and at the bottom there are niches where you can put baskets for children's toys. This will always help keep the room tidy. Separately, we have equipped a play area with wall bars. Here the child can be a little active and crawl on the wall, or play on a soft children's rug with his favorite toys.

Several functional areas had to be placed in the master bedroom. This is a comfortable sleeping place, a work area and a separate dressing room. In general, the interior turned out to be calm and light, and wood added comfort. Textiles played an important role in creating the atmosphere in the bedroom. Layering and calm natural shades are what you need for a bedroom.

To make a separate walk in dressing room in the bedroom, I had to sacrifice its area. But this did not make it any less comfortable here. Right at the entrance, we placed a dressing room with an area of ​​3.3 sq. M, and the facade of the outer door was mirrored. This solution allows you to slightly expand the space and makes it possible to fully appreciate the chosen look.

We were also asked to create a workplace in the bedroom. It turned out to be compact, as if built into the overall concept of the wall. We used every inch of space: we made two closed shelves right under the ceiling, and below them a small open shelving unit. The console table also has storage space - drawers for small items. To prevent a standard desk lamp from taking up space on your desktop, we decided to install wall lighting.

Some of the walls in the bedroom are finished in wood. For example, the wall at the entrance is decorated with wooden slats with ceiling lighting. The working area also has a wooden insert. All of this is eventually combined into a single canvas on the wall at the head of the bed.

The centerpiece of the bedroom is a minimalist bed. There are twin bedside tables on both sides. The ring lamps hanging over the pedestals became a decoration and an additional source of light. Rugs of different shapes and textures successfully complete the sleeping ensemble.

In the master bedroom, we have designed a spacious wardrobe. It is made in one neutral color scheme. Here on both sides are shelves and rails, and between them drawers and additional open shelves. The space was carefully planned so that not a single centimeter of space was wasted. Therefore, there will be enough space to accommodate the wardrobe of two adults.

In the hallway, we set aside a place for storing outerwear. By design, it looks the same as the wardrobe in the bedroom. This does not violate the overall style of the apartment and creates a single mood. There are hinged square shelves for bags, hats, gloves and scarves, and shoes can be stored underneath. All shelves are open, making it easy to find the things you need.

Thank you for watching, I am very pleased with your attention to my work. 
I will be glad to your assessment.
