If you think it's impossible to create a comfortable and attractive interior in an area of more than 20 square metres, then this article is for you! Here we present 3 striking and useful examples of decorating a small flat in a stylish and up-to-date design.
Open space without borders: A modern solution to a studio flat
The basic idea of the "open space" concept is that a room decorated in this style should be permeated with light, air and have no obvious boundaries. For a small studio flat, the open space approach is one of the best solutions. The absence of walls frees up extra square metres. The compact entrance hall, which seamlessly transitions into the spacious living-bedroom, no longer looks cramped. And the small kitchen, combined with the seating area, becomes a comfortable space for preparing meals. The main advice when choosing a style for an open space studio is to avoid overloading the space with too much furniture and decor. That's why styles like loft, minimalism, Japandi and Scandinavian are popular, creating harmonious interiors with a minimum of furniture but with original and authentic details.
The niche bedroom: the perfect solution for a studio flat
Of course, not everyone likes the concept of open space. For many of us, it is important to have a cosy and secluded bedroom, which gives a feeling of security from the outside world. In this case, a modern solution can help: the niche bedroom. This approach allows you to save space and air in a small flat, while separating the sleeping area into a separate 'private world'. Often the bed is placed on a podium, which has drawers for extra storage in a small flat. Large, thick curtains, or comfortable sliding doors can be used to create a peaceful atmosphere. For some people, a low partition which could serve as a bedside table or shelf for small items may suffice.
The monotonous style of a small flat
One common method of creating a stylish interior in a confined space is to use a minimal number of colours. Choose one base colour, preferably a lighter shade, and paint the walls of the flat in that colour. This can be white, beige, light grey, blue or light purple. However, more saturated shades can also be used to create the impression of a unified space. Furniture, textiles and decorations are chosen in accordance with the basic colour. This applies especially to large pieces of furniture. For example, a large white sofa won't look bulky against a white wall. This technique makes the best use of the furniture, avoiding cluttering the space. To keep the interior from looking boring and sterile, it is recommended to add bright accents.
