Description from designer Vadim Matevosyants
The 60-square-meter apartment is located in the Duet housing estate on Deguninskaya Street. The designer Vadim Matevosyants designed it for the client. “I am proud of the fact that the interior is comfortable, stylish and light. And that despite the small area, we managed to create a lot of storage space,” says the author of the project.
Vadim Matevosyants says that when he just stepped into the apartment, the interior design concept immediately came into view. “Although the client wanted a light classical setting, I convinced her to go for minimalism. The low ceilings and small space did not dispose to gypsum moldings and cornices. Now the client is happy.

Working on the layout, Matevosyants avoided narrow corridors and tried to make use of every centimeter. He designed a spacious hallway with shelving and a storage system. The living room is united with the kitchen, the boundary between them is a structural pilar. 5.6 square meters are the meters given to the bathroom, which is not so little for a compact apartment.
3 square meters allocated for dressing room in the bedroom, besides that the room also has a spacious built-in wardrobe.
Light walls serve as a background, accents on black color and natural oak flow from room to room. Such technique unites the space and visually increases the area. The warm tone of the veneer on the wall panels enriches the “cold” minimalist interior. The black granite used for the kitchen’s backsplash gives depth, pushing and extending the boundaries of the room. Doors up to the ceiling optically increase the height. The hidden behind the glass TV set creates a composition that does not disturb the harmony of the interior. In the bathroom, the marble porcelain stoneware highlights the black sanitary fixtures and the towel rail.

As Vadim Matevosyants tells us, he selected the furniture according to the principle “price-quality-style-comfort”.

In order not to overload the interior, the designer suggested semi-transparent smoky Kartell chairs for the kitchen. The customer did not approve them at first, but Vadim convinced her and she agreed. “When it was time to receive the chairs, it turned out that the factory stopped producing them. I assumed that a replacement would be required, which the customer would be happy about. However, now she wanted these particular chairs and no others! We started looking all over the world and found literally the very last ones. I said “Take care of them, there won’t be any more like them. In general, I was lucky with my client. We were “on the same page” and even became friends.
