Layout of a studio apartment of 25 square meters

When designing the design of this studio, it is especially important to think through the project in as much detail as possible, draw up a technical plan and make a drawing. It is also necessary to take into account the scheme according to which the batteries, ventilation shafts, central riser, etc. are located.

How to arrange furniture in a studio?

A small studio in a Khrushchev-era building can be furnished with low and less voluminous furniture that should not contrast too much with the wall decoration. When using bright furniture items, a feeling of a busy space is created.

In the design of a square apartment, the furniture is located exactly along the perimeter, and in a rectangular room it is shifted to one wall. In this case, the free wall is equipped with hanging shelves or other storage systems.

Ideas for studios with two windows

A 25 sq. m. studio apartment with two windows is a very good option, with a lot of natural light. Windows placed on one wall provide a natural and harmonious division of the room into two functional zones.

For example, if a kitchen set is installed near one window opening, and a bedroom or living room area is located next to the other, you can avoid using additional partitions. A great solution would be to place the headboard of the bed by the window, make the windowsill a bedside table, or arrange cabinets and shelves around the opening.

The design is complemented by posters, paintings with images of northern landscapes or animals, and the decor is also decorated with live plants.
