Owners of small dwellings always strive to break free from the clutches of cramped conditions. This apartment, despite its small size, seems spacious and laconic.

To realize his ideas, he designed a multifunctional partition-screen. It separates the bathroom and bedroom area from the rest of the space. It hides a TV, mobile workstation, bookshelf, wine storage and a spacious drawer for things. If desired, the screen can be completely closed and the partition can be turned into a blank wall. So no one will guess what is really hiding behind her.

A little space has been allocated for the bedroom. Only the bed fit here. A hinged storage box was placed on the wall. But to get rid of the feeling of crampedness and diversify the interior of the room, a graphic poster in a black frame was marked on one of the walls.

In order to visually increase the area, it was decided to install a mirrored kitchen apron. The location of this area opposite the window also played into the hands. So, the light from the windows is reflected in the mirror and the illusion of additional space is created..

In the dining area, laconic furniture was placed, not striking in design and color. She does not take on much attention and is almost invisible..

But the living room area turned out to be quite emotional. Moreover, coziness here is built from little things – several bright pillows on a gray sofa, a round warm rug that is so nice to touch, a picture with subtle splashes of bright colors. Even a small indoor flower works to create a cozy atmosphere..
