Tight living spaces present challenges, but challenges often evoke great creativity and ingenuity–and this is certainly the case inside these four small studio apartments. Not only are these tiny homes packed with great space saving ideas and bespoke furniture inspiration, but they manage to exude style within their limited proportions too. Exciting accent colours, artistic partition walls, a smart mezzanine, a chic glass wall bedroom and beautifully crafted small bathrooms all add up to amazing small living spaces that can easily contend with the big boys. Take the mini tour through each one and find yourself laden with a myriad of ideas and home style envy.

In Saint-Petersburg, Russia, a 23 square metre studio apartment is decorated in warm umber, cobalt blue and pale lemony accents.

Each piece of furniture is custom built into the apartment to ensure that every single centimetre of space is well utilised. Storage cabinets have been built around the base of the window, and drawers pull out from the space under a custom made sofa bed. Yellow and umber handles add dashes of colour.

Three yellow base cabinets and three wall cupboards make up a tiny kitchen at the centre of the floor layout. Whilst the yellow base cabinets define the kitchen as its own zone, an open shelf unit is umber coloured to create a cohesive link with the rest of the home decor. Basic white tiles cover the backsplash and countertop.

A glass wall and ceiling wraps the small kitchen, which prevents kitchen steam from rising directly up into a mezzanine bedroom above, and stops cooking splashes from hitting the adjacent sofa bed by the window.

Underneath the mezzanine level, dark blue tiles with umber grouting colour a hallway seat by the front door. The closets in the entryway provide much of the storage for the tiny home, though there is additional closet space on the mezzanine. Recessed yellow handles add an extra stripe of colour, which matches them with the built in storage cabinets around the window.

The umber stripe that’s painted around the top half of the apartment engulfs the whole mezzanine bedroom. An open fronted wardrobe system is painted in the same umber shade so that it falls back into the walls. The mezzanine platform doubles as a floor bed design, offering a shallow recess in which to lay the mattress.

Tour three is a 38 square metre micro apartment kitted out with scaled-down home comforts. The bedroom is separated from the main living area by glass partition walls, and a raised floor. A privacy curtain draws around the inside of the glass to complete the divide. The adjacent living room is a gorgeously executed design with a plush white couch and elegant arcing floor lamp.
