Before and after: how a typical one-room apartment in a panel house was transformed.

The designer created a comfortable and stylish interior without resorting to redevelopment. We show what happened and what happened.

Designer remodeled a one-room apartment with an area of ​​33 square meters for a young customer. A typical panel with an old renovation turned into a bright and functional interior without remodeling. The designer isolated the kitchen with gas, zoned the bedroom with the living room in the common room and placed an office on the balcony. 

Kitchen before renovation:

Kitchen furniture and appliances were placed along two walls, opposite each other. There was room in the center by the window for a dining table. The customer wanted to make the space more comfortable from an ergonomic point of view, plus create a soft area with a sofa for a more comfortable pastime.

Kitchen after renovation:

The apartment has a gas pipe, so the renovation began by moving it closer to the window – access was left. The hood was placed higher than the level of the other cabinets: this is according to the rules. The set was raised to the ceiling, there is a plasterboard indentation in which the air duct was hidden. The kitchen has a sliding door.

The set was installed in the letter L, the refrigerator was moved to the opposite wall. The dining area was decorated with 3D panels and a fresco with floral patterns. Vertical stripes visually raise the ceiling. The radiator was moved to the wall.

Living room before renovation:

The room was more like a living room with a sofa and armchairs, rather than a full-fledged bedroom with a place to relax. It was important to create several functional areas and separate them from each other.

Living room after renovation:

The room was divided into two main zones using a partition made of wooden slats – this is a functional and stylish solution that looks very modern. The slats were diluted with narrow lamps that create a beautiful light pattern in the dark.

The bedroom area was decorated with a fresco with a pattern of tropical leaves – it looks interesting. The bed is quite large – the mattress is 180 cm wide, and there is a lifting mechanism for additional storage.

Loggia before renovation:

The loggia was not insulated and served as a place to store everything necessary and unnecessary.

Loggia after renovation:

A wide window sill was made on the loggia, which can be used as a bar counter or work table. Heated flooring was installed on the floor and walls.

Bathroom before renovation:

The bathroom was a standard bathroom with a bathtub, sink and space for a washing machine. It was necessary to replace communications and plumbing, making a more modern space with separate faucets.

Bathroom after renovation:

The bathroom is quite small, but functional. On one side there was a cabinet with a sink, on the other there was a washing machine under the countertop and an open shelving unit. It was possible to increase the number of storage spaces.

Entrance hall and corridor before renovation:

Immediately at the entrance to the apartment there was a mezzanine, which reduced the height of the ceiling. The corridor is quite narrow, so there were problems with placing storage. Plus there are a lot of doors and they all caught my eye.

 

Entrance hall and corridor after renovation:

We got rid of the mezzanine, and made the doors to the bathroom and toilet without frames, with canvas in the same color as the walls. Porcelain tiles were placed on the floor – more convenient for cleaning. And they designed a spacious closet. Due to the turquoise color, it became the accent of the room.
