Working on the design of small apartments allows you to fully express your individuality and imagination. Here you will have to abandon the standard techniques, you need to design something original, special in order to create comfortable and cozy housing in a small space. As an example, we present 14 projects with the interiors of small apartments, some of them already have owners, and the other is only planned for implementation.
Design of small apartments up to 20 sq. m.
Interior design of a small apartment 18 sq. m.
With an area of 18 sq. m. you need to save every centimeter and use every opportunity to increase a small space. To this end, the designers insulated the loggia and combined it with the living room - for this they had to remove the balcony block. The former loggia was equipped with an office for work with a corner tabletop and open shelves for books.
A bench was placed at the entrance, a mirror and clothes hangers were placed above it. On the bench you can comfortably change shoes, and under it you can store shoes. The main storage system of variable width is also located here, part of it is given over to clothes, part to household appliances.
The living room is divided into functional areas. Immediately after the entrance area begins the kitchen, equipped with all modern appliances. Behind it is a living room - a sofa with a small table, above it there are open shelves for decor items and books, and opposite - a TV area.
In the evening, the living room turns into a bedroom - the sofa unfolds and becomes a comfortable bed. A folding dining area is located between the kitchen and living area: the table rises and becomes one of the sections of the storage system, and the chairs are folded and taken out to the loggia.
The project "Compact interior of the studio 18 sq. m." from Lyudmila Ermolaeva.
Design project of a small studio apartment of 20 sq. m.
In order to create a laconic and functional interior, the designers decided to use an open floor plan and dismantled all the walls that were not load-bearing. The resulting space was divided into two zones: technical and residential. A small entrance hall and a sanitary block were located in the technical area, and a kitchen-dining room was equipped in the residential area, which simultaneously serves as a living room.
At night, a bed appears in the room, which is put away in a closet during the day and does not interfere with free movement around the apartment. Near the window there was a place for a desktop: a small tabletop with a table lamp, above it - open shelves, next to it - a comfortable chair.
The main color of the design is white, with the addition of gray tones. Black is selected as the contrast. The interior is complemented by wooden elements - light wood brings warmth and comfort, and its texture enriches the decorative palette of the project.
For such a limited area, the best stylistic solution for interior design is minimalism. White walls and ceiling, white furniture of a laconic form, merging with the background - all this visually increases the size of the room. Colored accents and designer lamps are used as decorative elements.
Transformable furniture is another key to successfully solving the problem of placing everything that is necessary for comfort and coziness for a modern person in a small area. In this case, the living area sofa folds out and the living room becomes a bedroom. The table of a mini-office easily turns into a large dining room.

Design of small apartments from 20 to 25 sq. m.
Small studio 25 sq. m.
The apartment is equipped with all the requirements for comfort. There is a large storage system in the hallway, in addition, additional storage systems are arranged in the bedroom - this is a mezzanine where you can place suitcases or boxes with things, and a chest of drawers in the television area located in the bedroom.
The large double bed is headboarded against a wall decorated with a geometric pattern. The small bathroom has space for a washing machine. A kitchen with a sofa may well serve as a guest place.
The 24-square-square studio is decorated in a Scandinavian style. White walls, doors and light wooden surfaces are harmoniously combined with accent colors typical for northern interiors. White is responsible for the visual expansion of space, bright accent colors add a joyful mood.
A wide ceiling cornice is a decorative detail that adds charm to the interior. A play of textures is also used as a decor: one of the walls is lined with brickwork, the floors are wooden, and the main walls are plaster, all this is painted white.
Design project of a small apartment of 25 sq. m.
An interesting example of space zoning is the DesignRush studio, whose masters have turned an ordinary small-sized apartment into a very comfortable and modern living space. Light colors help to expand the volume, while milky shades are used to add warmth. The feeling of warmth and comfort is enhanced by wooden interior elements.
In order to separate functional areas from each other, designers use a multi-level ceiling and different floor coverings. Properly planned lighting supports zoning: in the center of the sofa area under the ceiling there is a suspension in the form of a luminous ring, along the sofa and TV area there are lamps on metal rails in a line.
The entrance hall and kitchen are lit with built-in ceiling spots. Three black chimney lamps, mounted on the ceiling above the dining area, visually draw a line between the kitchen and the living room.
Design of small apartments from 26 to 30 sq. m.
Beautiful small apartment with an unusual layout
Studio apartment 30 sq. m. is designed in the style of minimalism with elements of the Scandinavian style - this is indicated by the combination of white walls with the texture of natural wood, a bright blue accent in the form of a carpet on the floor of the living room, as well as the use of ornamented tiles for finishing the bathroom.
The main "highlight" of the interior is an unusual layout. In the center is a huge wooden cube in which the sleeping area is hidden. From the side of the living room, the cube is open, and from the side of the kitchen, a deep niche is made in it, into which a work surface with a sink and stove, as well as a refrigerator and kitchen cabinets are built.
There are other wooden details in each zone of the apartment, so the central cube serves not only as a separating, but also as a uniting element of the interior.
Small one-room studio 29 sq. m. was divided into two zones, in one of which - farthest from the window - there is a bedroom, and in the other - a living room. They are separated from each other by decorative fabric curtains. In addition, we managed to find a place not only for the kitchen and bathroom, but also for the dressing room.
The interior is made in the art deco style in its American version. The stylish combination of light glossy surfaces with dark wenge wood against the background of beige walls is complemented by glass and chrome details. The kitchen space is separated from the living area by a high bar counter.
Apartment design 30 sq. m.
A small apartment, the overall style of which can be defined as modern, has a sufficient amount of storage space. This is a large closet in the hallway, a space under the sofa cushions, a chest of drawers and a TV stand in the living room, two rows of cabinets in the kitchen, a drawer under the bed in the bedroom.
The living room and kitchen are separated by a gray concrete wall. It does not reach the ceiling, and an LED backlight strip is fixed on top - this solution visually lightens the structure, making it “weightless”.
The living room is separated from the bedroom by a thick gray curtain. The use of a natural palette and natural materials gives solidity to the interior. The main design colors are gray, white, brown. Contrasting details are in black.
Design of small apartments from 31 to 35 sq. m.
Studio project 35 sq. m.
The best small apartments are designed using natural materials - this brings the required solidity to their environment, and allows you to do without decorative elements cluttering up the space, since the color and texture of the materials themselves are used as decor.
Herringbone parquet, porcelain stoneware with a "marble" surface, veneered MDF - these are the main finishing materials in the apartment. In addition, white and black paint was used. Wooden elements of the interior in combination with marble surfaces make it possible to saturate it with an interesting pattern, while keeping the main volume free.
The living room is combined with the kitchen and dining room, and the bed is separated by a partition made of metal and glass. During the day, it can be folded and leaned against the wall, so it does not take up much space. The entrance area and the bathroom are isolated from the main volume of the apartment. In addition, there is a laundry room.
Project "Design by Geometrium: studio 35 sq. m. in residential complex "Filigrad"
Apartment with a separate bedroom 35 sq. m.
Beautiful interiors of small apartments have, as a rule, a common feature: they are based on the style of minimalism, and an interesting decorative idea is added to it. Such an idea in the 35-meter "odnushka" was a strip.
A small place for a night's rest is highlighted by a wall with horizontal lines drawn on it. They visually make a tiny bedroom look bigger and add rhythm. The wall in which the storage system is hidden is also "striped". Track lights in the interior support the idea of horizontal stripes, repeated both in furniture and bathroom decoration.
The main color of the interior is white, black is used as a contrast. Textile elements and panels in the living room bring subtle color accents and soften the atmosphere.
The project "Design of a one-room apartment of 35 sq. m. with a berth "
This is a real masculine interior with a strong character, reflecting the views of its owner. The studio layout makes it possible to preserve the maximum possible volume, while highlighting the necessary areas for work and leisure.
The living room and kitchen are separated by a brick bar, typical of a loft-style interior. A chest of drawers was placed between the living room and the home office, to which the work desk adjoins.
The interior is full of rich decorative details, many of which are handmade. In their manufacture, old, already discarded things were used. So, the coffee table is a former suitcase, the seats of bar stools were once the seats of bicycles, the leg of the floor lamp is a photo tripod.

Often, starting to make repairs, we puzzle over how to use the space correctly, what colors to choose, what furniture to buy. The question becomes even more complicated if the apartment is very small and you want everything in it to be comfortable, beautiful and cozy.
Today website will tell you some interesting tricks on how to equip a small apartment.
Choice of light furniture
When choosing furniture for your small apartment, make sure it looks light. Let it be transparent, translucent or on thin legs and have an elongated shape.
Light colors
No matter how much you love bright colors, if you have a small apartment, give preference to light ones. The most suitable colors for increasing space are blue, light green, light pink, cream, light gray.
Don't choose small furniture
One of the common mistakes is choosing the same small-sized furniture in a small-sized apartment, which has the opposite effect - it feels like you are living in a dollhouse. Add a couple of massive items for balance.
Right Light
To illuminate a small room, you should not choose huge half-ceiling chandeliers, but it is better to use spotlights around the perimeter, so even if you do not have the highest ceiling, it will not crush.
Multifunctional furniture
Another piece of advice regarding furniture: it is better when the same item performs several functions. So, for example, a desk can also be a dressing table and you can store things in it.
Less Borders
A single flooring erases the boundaries, the absence of transitions and thresholds makes the space whole without dividing it into small parts.
Use angles
Few people think and use them, but it's very convenient. So, for example, by placing small storage systems in the corners of the hallway, you can hide a lot of little things that had no place.
Today I want to touch on an important and complex topic - small apartment interior. Very often, looking through magazines that publish magnificent interiors of luxury apartments and country houses, one wonders how far these rosy pictures are from real apartments, in which 99% of the inhabitants of big cities live. Moreover, often large design agencies refuse to work with small spaces due to the unprofitability of such projects.
Interior of small apartments: functional zoning
Each room in a small apartment performs several functions. Modern small apartments do not allow organizing separately, and an office. However, it easily solves this problem. Here are some good examples, in my opinion:
Kitchen + dining room + living room + office + library
Living room + office
Bedroom + living room + office
Bedroom + workplace
Tiny room combines sleeping and working space
organized in .
One of our projects was created just for a small studio apartment. In this case, in a single room, the zones of the bedroom and living room are delimited.
The issue of zoning is successfully solved by flooring - carpet in the living area, tiles in the kitchen, wooden floor in the hallway. Here you should pay special attention to the harmonious combination of materials and colors.
The ability to arrange a general "decluttering" is an invaluable quality for the owner of a small apartment. Get rid of furniture that is out of the general concept of the interior or is not used for its intended purpose. Remove from your eyes numerous souvenirs brought home from travels, hide all unnecessary items in cabinets and boxes. Regular cleaning and a meticulous analysis of everything in sight will help save space in your home.

Designers say that in order to visually expand the room, you need to make floors and walls in similar colors. Contemporary style dictates the same rules and a few others:
- The design of the premises should be as simple as possible, this direction loves conciseness.
- - another technique suitable for owners of small apartments (it is permissible, for example, to combine a bedroom with a living room).
- It is better to use modular designs and functional furniture.
So that the interior is not faceless, designers recommend placing accents. In a small apartment, it is better not to get carried away with decor, but one large-format painting is a great option.

The predominance of function over form is the essence of this style. In functional interiors, all useful space is used to the maximum and there are almost no unnecessary decorative details. This feature makes functionalism suitable for small spaces. Refusal of a large number of items in plain sight is the first rule that a designer adheres to when designing the interior of a small apartment, and functionalism fits in this case as well as possible. The photo shows tall hanging cabinets in the kitchen and a row of floor cabinets. Behind them you can hide overall equipment that does not fit in the open space of a small apartment.

It made it to this list due to its gravitation towards smooth forms. For small rooms, it is better to avoid sharp corners, and the “modern” interior meets these requirements as well as possible.

8 Eco style
The good thing is that it can be implemented in any room and make it only better: it will “revive” a small apartment. Eco-interior does not require a lot of furniture, decorations, decor. On the contrary, moderation is encouraged. Natural materials will make the room warmer and more comfortable, and green plants will add freshness and comfort to residents.
