Tiny studio apartment with ingenious interior design solutions

It seems logical that a small apartment can’t become larger unless it is actually redesigned and extended. However, interior designers like to fool the eye by finding all sorts of ingenious solutions. A nice example is this small apartment from Chelsea, New York. It measures only 650 square feet but it actually seems larger because of the interior design.

The apartment was designed by Robert Garneau of Studio Garneau. He turned into place into an airy and spacious area for its owners. The clients are a couple who run their office from home so besides needing a nice and cozy place to live they also needed an office space for work. The designer used many built-in features to open up the rooms. For example, a sliding wall in the bedroom hides a built-in storage and a series of bookshelves. It only covers them but because it’s white and continuous it gives the impression of a larger space.

Every little inch of space was exploited to its maximum. Even the space under the couch was used to include storage drawers. The kitchen features a multifunctional piece with three adjustable heights that can be sued as a kitchen island, dining table and work surface. A sliding door hides a small bedroom area with a pull-down bed and built-in niches that serve as nightstands. When not used, the bed goes up and the room becomes a part of the living area. The whole apartment is full of clever solutions.{found on remodelista}.
