Others begin with a functional change in the way people live in their homes. This **interior design project of a living room with a kitchenette measuring 24,73m2 in an apartment block** belongs to the latter category. Originally, the apartment had a classic layout that is becoming increasingly rare today: **a separate kitchen, a separate living room, and a bedroom**. In practice, however, this meant limited living space and no open area for spending time together. The decision was therefore natural — **to combine two rooms into one open living space**. In place of the former living room and bedroom, a modern **living room with a kitchenette** was created, combining the functions of relaxation, dining, and cooking within one cohesive interior design. The design of this space became not only a change in the apartment layout but also a **complete transformation of the way the interior is used**. ## What you will learn from this article - how the **24,73m2 living room with kitchenette** was created in place of two separate rooms - which design solutions allow you to **maximize space in an apartment in a block building** - how to plan a functional **layout of the kitchen, dining area and relaxation zone** - which materials and colors make the interior bright and timeless - how to introduce **natural interior design inspirations** into a modern project - how details – lighting, wooden slats and plants – influence the perception of space - which solutions we use in the **interior design of small apartments** ## Space analysis We began the project with a detailed analysis of the existing apartment layout. In the original version, the interior consisted of: - a separate kitchen - a living room - a bedroom Although this layout used to be standard, in practice it caused the space to feel fragmented. The rooms were relatively small, and the **day zone of the apartment did not feel spacious**. Our goal was therefore to create **one cohesive living space** that: - ensures comfort in everyday life - allows convenient cooking and dining together - maintains the cozy character of the living room After removing the wall between the rooms, a space of **24,73m2** was created, which we could design from scratch – both in terms of functional layout and interior style. ## Interior design concept The foundation of the concept was to create an interior that would be: - bright - visually calm - functional for everyday use For this reason, we decided to combine **warm beige tones, natural wood, and black accents**. The design also includes elements that visually organize the space, such as: - wooden slats - subtle linear lighting - plants introducing a natural character to the interior This approach makes the interior both **modern and very welcoming**. ## Functional zones Despite the relatively small area, it was possible to clearly define several functional zones. ## Kitchen zone The kitchen was designed as a **linear built-in layout with an additional kitchen island**. Thanks to this, we gained: - a large amount of storage space - a comfortable area for meal preparation - an additional worktop The island also serves as a natural **connection between the kitchen and the living room**. ## Dining zone The dining area is located between the kitchen and the lounge space. A table placed in the central part of the room allows comfortable use both during everyday meals and when hosting family or friends. A large mirror on the wall additionally **visually enlarges the interior** and enhances the feeling of spaciousness. ## Relaxation zone The living room area was designed as a **calm, minimalist relaxation space**. It includes: - a comfortable sofa - a coffee table - a footstool - a minimalist RTV cabinet The TV wall was emphasized with a decorative composition of slats and subtle linear lighting that creates an **evening, atmospheric mood**. ## Material details The materials used in the project were selected to be both aesthetic and durable. In the project we used, among others: - kitchen fronts in a warm beige shade - countertops and wall panels imitating natural wood - a herringbone-pattern wooden floor - steel elements in black This combination of materials creates a **harmonious and timeless interior design**. ## Interior color palette The color palette was based on three main tones: - **beige** – in the kitchen cabinetry and furniture - **natural wood** – in the flooring and decorative elements - **black** – in lighting and details This combination is one of the most universal in modern interior design. Thanks to it, the space feels: - elegant - visually calm - timeless ## Comments from the design team *When designing spaces like this, we always pay attention to the balance between aesthetics and functionality.* *In this project, it was particularly important for us to ensure that the **new living space would be максимально comfortable for everyday use**.
