Features of redevelopment
If we talk about redevelopment, then here wereminimal changes were made, as the designers wanted to preserve as much open space as possible. The only partition was demolished, and the bedroom area and bathroom had to be further separated.
Minimalism with character
There were no problems with choosing a style.Young people most often prefer, where functionality comes first and there is nothing superfluous. And in the conditions of a small apartment, this is a very smart solution, because a large amount of furniture breaks up the space and makes it more cramped. It is worth noting the deep in this interior, which occupies an important place here. Why it? It's simple - this shade best reflects the character and independence of the owner of the apartment. In addition to gray, the classic and proven pair white + black was taken as a basis, and blue and yellow colors are diluted as bright accents in the apartment. Elena Koroleva, designer and founder of Leo Company: - Due to the contrast of black walls, gray ceiling, white box with perimeter lighting and bright accents (blue panels and sofa, yellow table), it was possible to achieve a visual expansion of the space. leo-gk.com
A place for privacy
A cozy sleeping place always requires privacy,and even in a studio apartment you can solve this problem. The bedroom will turn into a separate room if you use sliding doors, as was done in this project. At any time you can hide from prying eyes, and when the doors are not closed, the studio looks more spacious and does not feel closed in.
Proper organization of storage
When space is small, it is important to use it wiselyorganize storage of things. There are two wardrobes in this apartment. One of them is at the entrance (white door) and is used for outerwear and shoes. The second one is built-in in the bedroom, it can even be called a mini-dressing room, it was made according to the company's sketches. Initially, the designers considered the option of a corner wardrobe, but in order to save precious space, they decided to abandon this idea. Standard sliding doors were replaced with a curtain, which made this wardrobe even more stylish and exclusive.
Lighting
There were built-in structures around the entire perimeter of the apartment.spotlights from Modular, which eliminated the need for lighting the living room and bedroom with chandeliers. In addition, there is a pendant light in the hall, and in the bathroom you can see a small wall light above the mirror.

Elena Koroleva, designer and founder of LeoCompany: — The main difficulty was in the layout: in a very small space it was necessary to fit everything necessary for life, including a screen for the projector. The situation with the color scheme was quite difficult, it was important not to make the apartment too gloomy and boring. Separating the bedroom into a separate zone (room) required a lot of design solutions, in the final version we settled on sliding doors. The deadlines for the project were very tight — 1 month, construction and finishing works lasted 4 months. But, despite all the difficulties, both we and the customer were very pleased with the result. As they say, nothing is impossible! leo-gk.com
