Deisgn of Two-Bedroom Apartment 72 m² in Scandinavian Style

Interior design with the remodeling of a 72 m² one-bedroom apartment into a who-bedroom, Primorsky Quarter residential complex, St. Petersburg.

Project task

A young family with a child — owners of a new 72 m² two-room apartment — contacted us.
Their wishes were:

a combined kitchen-dining-living room;
a master bedroom with a walk-in closet and private bathroom;
a separate children’s room;
two full bathrooms;
a comfortable and functional hallway.

Analysis of the original layout

The initial scheme had a number of drawbacks:

an oversized and dark hallway-corridor of 14.3 m²;
a small kitchen of 12.4 m², not suitable for a living room function;
a second bathroom of only 2.2 m² — too small for a shower.

New layout solution

We redistributed inefficient square meters and made the space as comfortable as possible:

in the center of the apartment appeared a shared kitchen-dining-living area of 27 m²;
the kitchen niche is organized in the “wet zone” of the hallway (according to regulations);
the 16.1 m² master bedroom occupied the right wing of the apartment, complemented by a private bathroom and a 4.1 m² walk-in closet;
the 11.2 m² children’s room was located in part of the former kitchen, with a separate 4.3 m² loggia;
the second bathroom was expanded to 2.5 m², allowing for a shower;
the hallway was reduced to an optimal 4.2 m², equipped with a built-in wardrobe and laundry zone.

Interior design

The interior is designed in the style of modern minimalism with Scandinavian accents:

light, neutral shades — white, beige, cream, light gray;
natural materials — light wood in flooring and furniture, soft textile textures;
lighting works as a zoning tool: linear fixtures emphasize geometry, pendant lights above the table act as accents, wall sconces add coziness;
flush hidden doors create a seamless, “clean” space.

The result is a bright, functional, and cozy interior where everything is thought out — from the layout to the details.

Result

From a standard one-bedroom apartment, we created a full-fledged two-bedroom home with a spacious common area, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a walk-in closet. This format perfectly suited the young family, ensuring daily comfort and a perspective for the future.
