Modern furniture
To neutralize the industrial-style accents, modern furniture in sleek silhouettes and clean finishes were chosen.
Modern furniture is known for its clean and straight lines. Designs often emphasize simplicity and minimalism, with crisp, uncluttered lines contributing to a sleek and contemporary look.
Modern furniture, therefore, tends to embrace minimalism, favoring simplicity over ornate details. This results in a streamlined and clutter-free appearance.
They are also accessorized with vibrant colors like blue and yellow.

Living room console
Despite its modest size of 520 sq ft (48.3 sqm) – a compact or modest size suitable for individuals and couples – the interior designers have managed to create pockets of storage throughout the home, such as the console that separates the living room from the kitchen.
A living room console like this serves as a functional surface for storing keys, mail, and other items that are convenient to grab on the way in or out.
In the case of this bachelor, his console was designed as a compact home office solution – a designated area for tasks like working on a laptop.

Shisha room
The homeowner, an avid shisha smoker, had requested a separate entertainment and shisha room.
While it’s not particularly common for homes in Russia to have dedicated shisha rooms, the prevalence of shisha (or hookah) lounges at home can vary based on cultural and individual preferences, For example, Shisha rooms are common in regions such as the Middle Eastern countries, North Africa countries, South Asia, Turkey, and Iran where shisha is deeply ingrained in the cultural traditions.

Floating bed
The bedroom was placed in the middle of the apartment. Curtain tracks were installed, so the homeowner could have some privacy.
Placing a bed in the middle of an apartment is often referred to as a “floating bed” or “centered bed” arrangement. It is a central focal point in the apartment, drawing attention and making a bold design statement.
A floating bed allows for more flexibility in arranging other furniture around it, as it doesn’t necessarily need to be placed against a wall. This flexibility can be beneficial in open-concept homes.

Corridor coat rack
Corridor spaces, also known as hallways, can often be underutilized areas in homes. However, with thoughtful design and planning, homeowners can maximize the functionality and aesthetic appeal of their corridor spaces.
This bachelor opted to have his corridor feature a hanging rack, so daily essentials like coats and umbrellas can be easily accessed.

Grey bathroom
The bathroom is clad in grey, to match the concrete in the living room. Grey is often considered a timeless, elegant, and neutral color that can create a sophisticated and versatile backdrop for various design styles. Pairing light grey with dark accents or using varying shades of grey can add depth and visual interest to the space.
Particularly in softer shades, grey can contribute to a calm and spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom – a big bathroom trend in creating serene and relaxing spaces for self-care.

Spa-like bathroom
Natural materials like wood and stone, as well as accessories like pebbles, create a spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom.
Spa-like bathrooms often feature luxurious materials such as marble, natural stone, and high-quality finishes.
Homeowners seek a space that provides a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life, creating a calming and serene atmosphere.

Washer and dryer
The interior design team also managed to create some space for the washer and dryer within the bathroom.
In homes with limited space, having a washing machine and dryer in the bathroom can be a convenient choice. Bathrooms are often designed with plumbing and water connections, making it practical to integrate washing machines without requiring additional plumbing work.
Since bathrooms are often enclosed spaces, they can help contain noise generated by washing machines and dryers.
