Design projects, layouts of a small studio of 29 sq. m.
Initially, a studio apartment has no walls, except for those that separate the living area and the bathroom.

Modern style in the interior of an apartment 29 square meters
Typically, neutral tones are used to decorate small apartments: as you know, this allows you to “dissolve” the walls, filling the studio with light. But connoisseurs of modern style find this solution boring and are not afraid to experiment with design.
The photo shows an unusual studio with a yellow partition that turns into a beam. It visually divides the space and changes the entire perception of the apartment due to its bright color.
The design of a modern apartment uses colored furniture, ornaments, bright finishes and even dark colors. All this focuses the eye on the color accents and distracts from the small size of the 29 sq. m studio. m., and the lighting built into the glossy ceiling visually lifts it.
The photo shows a square studio with a partition separating the bedroom and kitchen. The owners also decided to organize a workplace in the dining area.
Children's
A separate children's room is located in two-room apartments. The smaller room is enough. To save space as much as possible, a dressing room is installed in it to accommodate all the toys and things. Plastic trays are used as additional storage containers. If the family is large and there are two children, then you should think about a bunk bed that will save space. For classes and studies, the child is allocated a separate work area. Universal desks are suitable for its design, which combine shelves for books, space for a computer and niches for toys. In a separate corner there is a “healthy lifestyle” corner with special equipment for exercise and exercise. If the children's room is decorated in eco-style, then an original move would be to place a real tree of knowledge with branches and shelves for books in the corner. Don’t forget about the ceiling, on which a decorative firmament is installed, which is illuminated at night, with stars, meteorites and the moon.
Studio design 29 sq. m. with balcony
A loggia or balcony is an excellent addition to the studio, because this space can be used as a dining room, office or even a dressing room.
In the photo there is a studio of 29 sq. m., where the balcony with a workplace is separated by elegant French doors.
The loggia can turn into an additional room, which can be used during the cold season: the main thing is to take care of high-quality insulation and lighting.
The photo shows a balcony turned into a dining room due to the corner bar counter.
Kitchen-living room
A small L-shaped kitchen was planned in the kitchen area. The customer wanted a small built-in refrigerator. Therefore, we thought about placing it together with the oven in a column at the entrance to the room.
The workspace in the kitchen was left open. Four functional departments have been thought of here:
- hob with two burners,
- cooking space,
- sink,
- dishwasher.
The sofa was placed against the wall at an angle of 90° and turned with its back towards the kitchen. The kitchen and recreation areas were separated by a metal partition with forging and mirror inserts.
This is not a cheap solution, but customers really liked it. Therefore, we left a proposal for the implementation of the interior. The cost of the partition is 280 thousand rubles.
Opposite the sofa we placed two cabinets from IKEA from the BESTO collection. Two wall cabinets for storage were planned above them.
The table and chairs in the dining area were also selected from the IKEA collection. Yellow chairs continued the leitmotif in the room, set by the Vives tiles in the shower.
The lighting for the dining area was done with overhangs from Maytoni. The rest of the lighting is built-in lamps and small spotlights.
A built-in wardrobe was planned behind the dining room at the entrance to the loggia.
Photo of a studio apartment in loft style
The industrial style is becoming the most popular due to the harmonious combination of light and airy elements with a rough texture in the decoration. This design is also appropriate in a studio apartment of 29 square meters. m.
Despite its deliberate “heaviness” (exposed brick, concrete, metal pipes), the loft surprisingly maintains a feeling of spaciousness: the main thing is not to forget about “lighter” textures - glass, wood, glossy surfaces.
The photo shows a rectangular loft studio, where at 29 meters there is a comfortable living area, a shower room and a stylish hallway.
Studio apartment 29 sq. m. with due diligence, you can decorate it so beautifully and unusually that even the shortcomings (incorrect layout, concrete slabs on the ceiling, open gas water heater) will turn into elements that give the apartment character.
In such an interior, the modest size of the room will be the last thing to be noticed.
How to visually enlarge a room
A few life hacks that will make your studio more spacious, even if only visually.
Minimum partitions
Do not turn your open space into a chain of corridors, nooks and partitions. Use other zoning methods or keep the partitions low.
Furniture with legs
This method works great! Sofas, shelving and cabinets with legs add air (and cleaning, to be honest) and “pull” the space upward.
Mirrors
A win-win option is mirrored surfaces on cabinet doors, doors or a stationary partition between the bed and the rest of the room.
Invisible doors
A little design trick: it is better to make cabinet doors, kitchen facades and even the door to the restroom invisible, that is, without trims, chamfers, frames and other decorative elements. Such laconicism unloads the space, removes all visual debris and makes the apartment more spacious and cleaner.
Design code
Avoid strict and excessive interior styles like classic or Provence. Let the space be minimalistic, functional, without visual “noise”: brocade sofas with monograms, massive armchairs and tables with twisted legs. A minimum of decor and calm colors make even the tiniest studio a spacious and comfortable space for living.

Scandinavian style on 29 m2
This direction is taken as the basis of design by lovers of minimalism and comfort. White or gray walls, contrasting details, house plants and elements of natural wood in the decoration combine wonderfully in the setting, filling it with light.
In order not to visually clutter the space of a studio apartment of 29 sq. m., designers advise choosing furniture with thin legs or an openwork structure. If possible, it is worth abandoning the fittings on the furniture facades: without them, the set looks modern and laconic.
The photo shows a kitchen set hidden in a closet: it is visible only while cooking. And behind the frosted glass sliding doors there is a bed hidden.
Hallway
To the right of the entrance we planned a spacious wardrobe for storage with mirrored doors. Cabinet length - 1.79 m.
A shoe rack was placed to the left of the front door. To disguise the electrical panel, a framed mirror was designed above the shoe rack. It was not possible to recess the meter into the wall, since the hallway borders the bathroom through a thin partition of 10 cm. Therefore, we selected a thin body of the electric meter and custom-made a mirror to fit its size.
The walls were covered with paintable wallpaper. Floor finishing - French herringbone laminate from Egger
