This small apartment combines the kitchen, living, and sleeping functionalities into one single open-plan room. A new wall is constructed in between the kitchen and the bedroom and to allow light to flow freely into the space, an interior window is fitted inside this wall to connect both spaces together.
The white kitchen with beige pale wood countertops sets the stage for the modest color palette of the interior in this small studio apartment that includes tints of beige, white, and other natural colors.
A white studio kitchen with a kitchen island and window toward the bedroom
The kitchen in this apartment is built on a relatively small surface and so the floor plan has to be optimized for enough storage opportunities. The peninsula kitchen island not only visually separates the kitchen from the living room area, but it also includes storage modules underneath.
The wall space above the sink is used for upper cabinets that go up to the ceiling, leaving out a small gap next to the wall for floating shelving. This ensures a lighter look and provides a great spot to display the prettiest kitchen items.
The white kitchen cabinets are paired up with a light wood countertop, chrome hardware, and a limestone backsplash that adds elegance to the otherwise simple materials used.
The long window in the kitchen wall looks out onto the bedroom and it allows daylight to flow into the kitchen section of the apartment as well.
A simple white and beige color palette in the living section
The white walls in the living room are enhanced with sheer beige curtains and subtle brown and beige tones in the accessories and textiles for a simple look that works in a calming way.
A round dining table provides ample space for having guests over for dinner and a simple gallery wall decorates the walls in matching tones and colors.
A large mirror leaning against the living room wall reflects a lot of daylight back into the room and makes the space appear larger.
A small bedroom with beige walls and floating shelves inside a niche
Since the kitchen takes up a lot of floor space, the bedroom is rather small, fitting a small bed just barely. Since the bed is wedged in between the kitchen window and the apartment window, it doesn’t feel too cramped, however.
A niche behind the bed is turned into floating shelves which work great as a nightstand, for books, and for small decor pieces.
The beige walls of the bedroom are met by the white walls of the living room. The two wall colors visually separate the two functional areas from each other.
A small hallway with an optimized mudroom section
The small hallway, which can be reached when opening the curtain next to the kitchen, includes access to the bathroom and a small built-in mudroom section to hang jackets, place shoes, and a close storage module on top.
