When I get to know this apartment, I can't believe thatits area is only 36 meters. It has everything you need for a comfortable life. Moreover, despite the rational approach, the designer managed to create a harmonious interior that echoes nature. For some designers, the words "typical apartment with an area of 36 square meters" sound like a sentence. But not for Yulia Klyueva. When you look at the wonderful project she developed for a young couple living in just such a small dwelling, you understand that the true design skill is manifested precisely in the design of small spaces. Yulia Klyueva, architect-designer Graduated from Almaty State University, faculty of arts and crafts. Founder of Interior & Decor design studio. Taking into account the small area of the apartment, it is quite natural that the main wish of its inhabitants was to squeeze the functional maximum out of their small space. But the main decorative idea of the interior was found thanks to the couple's creative hobby. Young people are fond of photography. The plot of one of the pictures found in the home photo archive was used as the main decoration theme. The image of flowering tree branches is used on a glass panel - the main decorative element in the living room, against which a TV is placed. The same drawing on the front of the cabinet. And he, only in the form of a negative, decorates the built-in wardrobe in the hallway. The ecological theme continues with natural materials specially selected by the designer to be able to combine natural motives and clean architectural lines in an elegant modern interior. Numerous wood accents are skilfully highlighted by the whiteness of the walls and ceiling. 
The only room in the apartment is divided into twozones: bedroom and living room. The zoning tool deserves special attention. The vertical slats between the bed and the sofa can be opened and closed. When open, they do not interfere with the penetration of natural light into the living room and create a beautiful illusion of the play of sunlight on tree trunks. But if necessary, the blinds are able to visually hide the sleeping place. A biofireplace located on a "floating" chest of drawers, symbolizing a home, and a coffee table in the form of a saw cut from a tree once again emphasize the naturalness and natural orientation of the interior. In addition, these decorative elements can be excellent decorations for home photography. 
The enlarged window opening made the room morelight. In order to realize this idea, the radiator had to be moved and replaced with a vertical model, which perfectly fit into the interior. The Loggia has been identified as an outdoor seating area. A wide wooden sill board and a pair of bar stools were installed along the fence to give the owners a pleasant opportunity to have a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in this place overlooking the city. The main advantage of the hallway planning solution was the allocation of the built-in wardrobe due to the relocation of the bathroom wall. Just like in the living room, decorative wooden planks are used here, the continuation of which in the form of linear lamps passes into the ceiling and then onto the wall. Wood cut imitation is the main decorative accent of the kitchen. It is printed on thick acrylic and cut along the outline of the design. Due to the lack of a work surface and the need to place a functional oven and wine cabinet, the idea of installing a small island was born. Fortunately, the kitchen space allowed for this functional solution and did not give up on a free-standing table for family dinners. 
Let's summarize.Thanks to the designer's skillful approach to creating the interior, the inhabitants of the modest 36-meter dwelling received a hospitable living room with a full, visually isolated sleeping place, a functional kitchen with a dining area, a bathroom with a shower cabin, a washing machine and a utility closet, and a large number of storage spaces. (wardrobe in the bedroom, wardrobe in the hallway, drawers under the bed, chest of drawers in the main room) and an equipped insulated balcony for relaxing gatherings in the fresh air. Unbelievable, but it is a fact! And all this comfortable functional interior is decorated in a fashionable and, thanks to an exclusive design idea, a unique ecological style that makes it surprisingly harmonious. The perfect space for a creative young couple. Photos provided by designer Yulia Klyueva
