We love to show stylish interiors andbeautiful houses, so the editorial team of Roomble went to visit an amazing apartment, and we invite you to look at the photos and video of this interesting apartment
We love to visit and show readersreal apartments where people live. It's one thing to photograph a recently completed design project, where everything is perfectly staged and angles are chosen correctly, but it's another thing to photograph an apartment where people live, where they welcome guests, and where there's a cat.
That’s why we’ve prepared a photo report about one very stylish and “lively” apartment.
If you spend a long time flipping through interior glossy magazines, you mightit may seem that the ideal interior does not imply the presence of a person, it may seem that these stylishly decorated apartments are not intended for living, but are created solely for inspiration, like models in the fashion industry. And from the cover of magazines, empty interiors created by a talented designer look at us. These interiors are certainly beautiful, but there is no life in them, there is no feeling that you can sit on this sofa, and cook in this kitchen - everything looks like a high-quality museum exhibition.
Residential apartments are like a living organism:they change, something is constantly happening in them, new decorative items appear. We bring souvenirs from trips, buy paintings, decorate the house with flowers - and all this changes the interior, makes it more frank, "homey" and cozy.
Today we will tell you about an unusual apartment that the etk-fashion.com team recently visited.
According to the layout, this is a typical one-room apartment in a new building,but the owner has arranged her apartment in such a way that there is a feeling of more space, although the area of the apartment is only 46 square meters. Related articles
Gulnara Mityushkina, architect, interior designer:
— It wasn’t difficult for me to create the interior, because I clearly imagined how my apartment should look and what functional areas should be present in it.
Gulnara developed the project herself, and inIn a conversation with our team, the owner admitted that she learned some interior design techniques from the Roomble portal, and her architectural education helped her to carry out a competent redevelopment.
Layout
Two residential units appeared in a one-room apartmentrooms: a daughter's room and a mistress's room, which can be separated from the kitchen area with thick curtains, and if necessary, it can be transformed into a large living room where you can accommodate a group of friends or gather the whole family.

This solution for small apartments can be calledrevolutionary, since this redevelopment find not only increased the level of comfort, but also intelligently divided the space into functional zones without violating housing legislation. This redevelopment is legal and subject to approval, since no load-bearing walls were demolished for its production, and the kitchen was enlarged at the expense of the corridor and dressing room, while the kitchen equipment remained within the non-residential area of the apartment.
Thanks to a well-thought-out planning solution, the apartment turned out to be bright and created a sense of space.
Living room-kitchen
The living room-kitchen is decorated in a restrained stylecolor scheme. All items are selected similar in finish, and the role of color accents is performed by the bright legendary Charles Eames chairs, which brought a sense of joy to the interior.
Behind the sofa we see a white brick wall,painted white, the same brick walls frame the bathroom from the kitchen and hallway, only for contrast they were painted in a dark shade.
The kitchen area is surprisingly well thought out:Every centimeter is used and works here. Cooking equipment, such as an electric oven and a built-in steamer, is located in one block and at a convenient height - 900 centimeters from the floor, it turns out that the hostess does not have to squat to check the degree of readiness of the dish.
The dishwasher is located in the lower level of cabinets, to the right of the sink, since the housewife is right-handed and this arrangement of equipment is preferable for her.
The refrigerator has found its place in a special niche near the kitchen, it is visually invisible, since it is built into the cabinet. Related articles
For organizing storage in the kitchen Gulnaraused all the resources: the interior space of the floor cabinets is delimited by height, which allowed for more shelves to be installed and more kitchen utensils to be placed. And the upper cabinets are used to store dishes, but there is also a third level - these are narrow cabinets between the ceiling and the hanging cabinets of the kitchen, where toasters, bread makers, food processors and all sorts of gadgets are stored, making the cooking process more convenient and faster.
The living room has a soft area with a multimedia system, and a nice and roomy round table has found its place on the border with the kitchen area.
The living room also makes effective use ofspace, for example, on the sides of the window behind the curtains there are narrow bookcases, and behind the curtain that divides the space into two zones there is an ironing board and a couple of paintings - the owner has not yet decided which of them she wants to see on the wall behind the sofa.
Children's room
The design of the children's room has a sense ofsome difference in the finishing, and this is not surprising, because Gulnara's daughter was in charge of selecting finishing materials and furniture. When a child chooses the furnishings of his room himself, it teaches him responsibility and careful attitude to things, in addition, it gives the child freedom to realize his talents.
The hostess's daughter studies diligently and is engaged in her studiesmusic and goes to art school - and after decorating her room, she thought: why not become a designer or an architect? How wonderful it is when a child chooses his own profession and life's work, based on positive experience!
The children's room has a well-organized workspace, which is located correctly, the light from the window falls on the left, and there is also space for music lessons and drawing.
The sleeping area is located next to the storage area,and the bed itself deserves special attention: it is double, meaning that an additional sleeping place can be pulled out of it - an ideal solution for small apartments.
Bathroom
The modest area of the bathroom is compensatedmirrored wall finish and correct arrangement of equipment. A washing machine and a dryer are installed in a column near the bathtub, and this is not a monoblock, but two separate devices that are connected with a special installation kit.
A tumble dryer is a mustin the modern world and in our climate, since with its presence there is no longer a need to look for a ventilated place to dry clothes, now it is enough to transfer them from the washing machine to the dryer, and after a while the clothes will be completely dry.

Corridor
This space can be roughly called a corridor, since its main function is to separate rooms and create storage spaces, such as built-in wardrobes.
Hallway
And if the theater begins with a coat rack, then it is withAn apartment that is loved begins with such an entrance hall. The entrance hall is quite small, its area is a little more than six meters, but due to the built-in wardrobe with mirror panels, the entrance hall looks more spacious.
When we entered this apartment, we immediatelyfelt like welcome guests: the hallway is filled with light and decor that creates a mood. Gulnara provided a second hidden closet in the hallway for storing outerwear and installed a comfortable bench for putting on shoes.
Living apartments are interesting primarily becauseThey do not hide anything and demonstrate how the created interior fits into people's lives. What changes have occurred and how the space interacts with residents.
The abundance of textures and subdued color scheme makethis apartment stylish, and the presence of "live" decor creates a unique impression of coziness and home warmth.
