A current interior of a two-room apartment of 52 square meters for a family with two children.

Layout

To make the apartment as convenient as possible, the kitchen and living room were combined into a single space. The bedroom was supplemented with a small work area, and the small children’s room was planned in such a way that it would be comfortable for two children at once.

The area occupied by the kitchen was slightly increased, taking space from the bedroom. To do this, it was necessary to move the wall, which allowed not only to expand the main room in the apartment, but also to make it more convenient: a niche for a sofa appeared in the living room, and a niche for a storage system in the bedroom, of which there should be a lot in a two-room apartment for a family with two children. The entrance area was not fenced off from the living room in order to preserve as much open space as possible and make the hallway bright.

Kitchen-living room 14.4 sq. m.

The white color of the walls, typical for the Scandinavian style, is complemented in the interior by complex blue and green tones. Blue wooden “blinds” on the storage system echo the blue apron of the kitchen area, adding a play of textures to the play of colors.

The dining group chairs have a faded blue upholstery, and bright blue stripes on the Roman blinds bring a touch of marine romance. The design of the apartment does not look cold, despite the abundance of blue tones. They are softened by the delicate beige shade of the sofa upholstery and the warm creamy tone of the kitchen set. The wooden unpainted table and the same chair legs add homely warmth.

The floor in the living room combined with the kitchen is made of a material with unique properties – quartz vinyl. Tiles made of it are very resistant to abrasion, since almost 70% consists of sand, and not just ordinary sand, but quartz sand. This tile looks as beautiful as wood, but will last much longer.

The walls are finished with matte paint that can be washed, since the designers planned from the very beginning that only very practical finishing materials would be used in the apartment for a family with two children.

A white brick wall came into the apartment from the loft. A sofa was placed next to it, and a backlight was built into the voluminous storage system suspended above it for convenient reading.

It was not possible to allocate space for a dressing room, but instead, the designers placed spacious closets in each room, as well as additional storage spaces. Almost all the closets are built-in and reach the ceiling – this way they can accommodate much more things. Despite their significant dimensions, the closets do not clutter the area – decorative techniques turned them into an interior decoration.

Bedroom 13 sq. m.

The finishing materials of the bedroom are designed in an ecological key: these are the colors of nature, different shades of green, and the print on the wallpaper, transferring to the atmosphere of a fairy-tale forest, and even a decorative element – a white deer head above the headboard.

The bedside tables on both sides of the bed work on the general idea – they are wooden stumps, as if just delivered from the forest. They both decorate the bedroom, and give it a natural charm, and do a good job of functioning as bedside tables. Another decoration is the chair. This is a replica of the Eames designer piece.

The bedroom is lit by ceiling lights, and there are additional sconces at the head of the bed. The floor is covered with wood – parquet board.

Children’s room 9.5 sq. m.

An important place in a two-room apartment for a family with two children is occupied by the nursery. This is not the largest, but perhaps the brightest room. Here, natural shades give way to rich red and blue tones. This color scheme will please both a boy and a girl. But even in the expressive blue-red ensemble, there are ecological notes: owl pillows on the sofa, decorative paintings on the walls soften some of the harshness of the bright colors.

For the children’s room, fabrics made of natural fibers were chosen, and parquet boards were laid on the floor. The children’s room is illuminated by spotlights built into the ceiling.

The design of the 52 sq. m. apartment provides plenty of storage space in all rooms, and the children’s room is no exception. In addition to the closet, it has a rack, and, in addition, under the bed there are large drawers that are easy to roll out.

Bathroom 3.2 sq. m. + toilet 1 sq. m.

The bathroom is designed in a combination of white and sand – an ideal combination that creates a feeling of cleanliness and comfort. In the small toilet room there was room for a narrow, but long sink. The main part of the furniture had to be made to order according to the designers’ drawings, since the dimensions of the room did not allow for ready-made sets.
