This is ReRooms’ own project, which our designers designed for a young married couple. In the 36-meter studio, everything is imbued with industrial style - brick walls, lack of partitions, laconic furniture, shiny textures, open lighting systems are assembled into a harmonious ensemble that created a very cozy and homely atmosphere.
Specialists paid special attention to the thoughtful arrangement of functional areas. A white corner sofa in the living room, a compact black and white kitchen set with glossy facades, a small dining table with a glass top, a mirrored wardrobe in the hallway and even household appliances with reflective surfaces successfully work to expand the modest studio space, which does not look crowded at all.

Choosing furniture in the loft style
For a loft-style studio, choose only the most necessary pieces of furniture. The room is completed with a sofa, TV stand, coffee table, dining table, bar counter in combination with high chairs. If necessary, the interior is decorated with chairs and shelving. When choosing furniture for a loft space, you can safely experiment, the main thing is not to clutter the room so as not to spoil the overall picture.
This direction involves the use of vintage and antique furniture or even items with elements of luxury, which are mainly arranged in a chaotic manner.
In the guest area in the center you can place a large sofa with velvet or leather upholstery and complement it with a wooden coffee table, in the bedroom you can install a metal or wooden bed with a wardrobe, and for the kitchen space you can choose a movable island or a functional and organic set with built-in appliances that provide significant saving square meters.
In the toilet and bathroom, the most simple white plumbing fixtures with a simple rectangular or square shape are appropriate.

This design is characterized by the use of unusual objects and non-standard furniture, for example, chests or suitcases are chosen as storage space. In a loft studio, the aesthetic contrast of modern appliances and vintage furniture elements against the backdrop of raw brick walls is especially appropriate.
Lighting recommendations
Most often in the urban direction there are massive chandeliers or multifunctional pendant lamps, which can be equipped with wires or chains that allow you to adjust the length of the lighting fixture. To add more comfort to a studio apartment, floor lamps are preferred.

Also, quite often, bright lighting and LED bulbs are used here, thanks to which it is possible to visually enlarge the room, give it volume, focus on certain areas or illuminate niches. A simple metal table lamp with a flexible leg will complement the interior no less advantageously.
Designer tips for arranging a small studio
- It is better to divide a small studio into functional zones, using different finishes or the correct arrangement of furniture, rather than partitions.
- The decoration should preferably contain light colors, thus visually erasing the corners of a limited space.
- It is better if large-sized furniture is made in neutral and muted shades, which will give it a less bulky look.
- For compact ottomans, chests of drawers and other decorative elements, you can choose a brighter design that will distract attention and visually expand the room.

With high ceilings, it is appropriate to use a mezzanine-shaped structure, which can become an excellent small wardrobe, library, work place or even a sleeping place. With the help of such an element, it will be possible to endow the studio design with special functionality and increase its usable area.

Elements of the plan
- Dimensional part. It indicates the area of the room, windows and doors, ceiling height, dimensions of each individual wall and other parameters.
- Dismantling plan. Used when there are walls that need to be removed or doorways need to be moved. Part of the structures being erected must be done if the construction of partitions is planned.
- Communication plan. The diagram shows the layout of pipes and the location of plumbing, the placement of lamps, electrical appliances, sockets and switches, the location of heaters and household appliances that require a water supply and constant power.
When developing a plan, you need to pay attention to the number of windows. If the design of a studio apartment of 30 sq. m, located on the north side, you need to add lighting sources and leave the window opening as open as possible. On the south side - use cold colors, think about the location of the cornice.

Redevelopment
Initially, the studio was an open space with two windows and a French balcony. There were no internal partitions built in the new apartment; to the left of the entrance there was a riser for water supply and sewerage, and to the right was a ventilation duct dividing the room into two parts. A bathroom was installed next to the riser; on one side of the ventilation duct, a living room area and a spacious dressing room were installed. On the other is the bedroom (it was hidden behind a curtain). To prevent the noise of the ventilation shaft from causing discomfort, the box was soundproofed.
They decided to make the dressing room wider than the adjacent ventilation duct. To equalize the width of these rooms, the ventilation duct was laid with tongue-and-groove blocks.
Kitchen modules were ordered with a depth of 53 cm. Cabinets with a standard depth of 58 cm would block the opening of the French balcony. The legs of the table and chairs are adjustable in height - this way the dining set can easily be turned into a bar set
A kitchen was planned in a small area behind the bathroom. The furniture set is quite compact, but it managed to accommodate all the essentials - a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a two-burner hob and a dishwasher. Considering that the housewife spends a lot of time at work and rarely cooks, it was decided to abandon the oven. The conventional boundary separating the kitchen and living room is the dining group - a height-adjustable table and three chairs. A sofa was installed in the living room area; on the contrary, in the partition between the windows, a TV was hung. There is also a small work area behind the curtain in the bedroom. The table for him was made of metal. This, at first glance, strict, unfeminine option fit perfectly into the decor.
