The owner of the dwelling wanted to have a single space, but at the same time, he wanted to seclude the bedroom area. Hiding a sleeping place in a one-room apartment is not an easy task, but in this apartment they did it 100 percent.

Functional storage

Special attention was paid to storage in this apartment. Shallow cabinets were made to order for the kitchen, and several more open shelves were placed under them. In the dining area, the table top is also a storage system. The wall in the TV area does not look overloaded or cluttered, but it also hides storage cells.
