Arrangement of a small studio apartment with a kitchenette

A small space can be very difficult to arrange. It is not without reason that many designers and owners of apartments are now opting for a kitchenette in a studio apartment. Thanks to this, they gain an open space that seems larger and brighter than a separated room. However, such an interior requires special attention, because its arrangement is governed by its own rules.

Arranging a small studio apartment with a kitchenette does not have to be boring!

Although the design of an interior with a small space is certainly a challenge, it is not worth getting discouraged. By arranging a studio apartment with a kitchenette, you can relatively easily turn its disadvantages into advantages. Think that an alternative would be an apartment divided by massive walls. This would certainly limit the freedom to move around in space, and also result in visual crampedness.

It is much better to get rid of unnecessary partition walls, gaining a spacious, bright room. Paradoxically, it should be slightly easier to furnish it than to arrange two separate rooms. You don't have to worry about the size so much. Elements that will not fit in the living room may be on the border with the kitchenette, and those from the kitchen - enter the living room.

The very barrier separating the kitchen area from the living room can also take very interesting forms. Popular solutions include, among others:

assembly of a kitchen island on the border between the kitchenette and the living room,

installation of a bar on a half wall between the living room and the kitchen,

various types of glazing and partitions - also with sliding doors.

Each of the above methods visually separates both zones from each other, without limiting the free space too much. A kitchen island or a bar will find a very practical application, so by choosing one of these solutions, you will not waste valuable space.

How to arrange a studio apartment with a kitchenette?

In order to properly arrange a small space, you should carefully consider both the color of the interior and the selection of furniture. In this first matter, you have two basic solutions at your disposal:

maintaining a consistent color scheme between the living room and the kitchenette,

use of different colors to separate the seating area from the kitchen.

While using the same shades in both zones may seem boring to you, it has some advantages over the contrast effect. It will lead to the optical enlargement of a small space. Remember that shiny surfaces (mainly mirrors) will also help you achieve this goal, which will effectively distribute the light around the interior.

The same applies to the selection of furniture - in a small studio apartment, sets in bright colors, well reflecting the light, will work best. In the kitchenette, you can use, for example, the tasteful Junona Line set. In order not to waste valuable space, try to place the upper cabinets just below the ceiling. Thanks to this, you will get additional storage space, and at the same time, you will make it easier to keep the room clean. You will eliminate the problem of dust collecting on the surface of the cabinets.

You can also furnish the kitchen area with dark furniture. However, try not to overwhelm the space. Simple shapes and a minimalist finish will certainly help. An interesting example of such a set is the Semi Line collection from the Black Red White offer. The housing will look great against white walls, and its combination with a seating area should not be a problem for you. All thanks to the universal design and versatile colors.

The necessary elements of a studio apartment with a kitchenette also include a table with chairs. Note that you don't have to force them into the kitchen or living room. The eating area can be on the border between the two parts, visually separating them from each other. This is a great opportunity to simultaneously take care of both the functionality and aesthetics of the room. So go for a simple Keita set, and if you have a bit more space at your disposal - go for a four-person Starks set.

The arrangement of a studio apartment must of course also include a set for relaxation. It should include a comfortable place to sit and a coffee table. So get interested in, for example, the Cupido sofa, and if you dream of a slightly bolder interior design, choose the yellow Logan model. Also, put practical cabinets in the living room - for example a chest of drawers, a bookcase or a display case. However, try to keep their number to a minimum so as not to lose valuable space.

A kitchenette in a studio apartment - arrangements

Arrangements of a studio with a kitchenette can use different styles. Sometimes it is worth choosing to combine them intelligently. In this case, the design of the kitchen can be maintained, for example, in the Provencal aesthetics, and the living room - in the Scandinavian one. However, be careful not to collide with strongly contrasting styles, and if you do - make sure that the transitions between zones are smooth.

A studio apartment with a kitchenette will also look great in industrial aesthetics. This will allow you to make potential shortcomings a strong point of the project. In such an interior, for example, vintage furniture, unplastered walls and cables hanging from the ceiling will work well. The loft style will certainly help you visually connect the kitchen area with the living room.

The modern style is less effective, but easier to implement. It is characterized by minimalism and simple forms, and these features definitely favor a small studio apartment. The perfect solution in this case is a kitchen island - separate zones with it, at the same time enriching the interior with a multifunctional element of equipment.
