This case is a set of exquisite small apartments with an area of 48 square meters, located in the bustling city of Beijing. The owner of the house is an independent and elegant girl who longs to have a cozy nest of her own in the hustle and bustle of the city to soothe her soul. The original unit was a two-bedroom unit, but it has been cleverly transformed into a one-bedroom layout, which greatly improves the quality of living.
▲Floor plan
In the original layout, the living room space was long and narrow. Considering the fact that the owner lives alone, the designer converted one of the bedrooms into a cloakroom, expanding the space of the living room. This renovation not only makes the space more open, but also meets the needs of the homeowner for storage.
| Entrance |
Behind the entrance door, a space is cleverly used to customize the storage cabinet for cleaning tools and sundries.
On the right side of the entrance is a thoughtful shoe cabinet and a shoe changing stool design, and the countertop is convenient for placing small items needed to go out. The curtain design adjacent to the cloakroom not only ensures the privacy of the space, but also makes it easy for the owner to hang his coat when he returns home.
The small hallway between the entrance and the living room adds a full-height custom cabinet with an open design that keeps books organized and the bottom can be used for storage.
Low-saturation pink paint has been chosen for the entire entrance wall to create a gentle and comfortable atmosphere, making people feel at home from the moment they enter the house.
| Living room |
A glass door is used as a partition between the living room and the bedroom, which not only ensures the transparency of the space, but also makes the overall layout appear flexible. A reading area is set up by the light-filled east window, while the sofa can be expanded to become a bed as needed, making it easy for the owner's parents to stay in occasionally.
The use of venetian blinds softens and dimins the light in the space, and the combination of a single sofa and a small coffee table creates a quiet and comfortable corner.
The glass sliding doors in the bedroom can be completely closed, and the reflection effect of the glass makes the whole space more bright and spacious.
| Restaurant |
The dining room is closely connected to the kitchen, and the flow is smooth and reasonable. The living room without a traditional TV wall is more fresh and natural, and the sun-dappled appearance adds a bit of comfort and coziness to the space.

The black walnut dining table is both practical and beautiful, and can be used both for dining and as a work top.
| Kitchen |
The kitchen is decorated in black, white and grey, with dark walls, floors and cabinetry contrasting with white countertops and black hardware. The washing and drying integrated washing machine is cleverly embedded in the cabinet, which solves the problem of drying clothes in a small apartment.
The black wrought iron hanger keeps kitchen tools organized and tidy.
| Bedroom |
The bedroom is located in the centre of the unit and is separated from the living room by a glass sliding door. This design not only increases the layering of the bedroom, but also expands the visual area of the living room.
The high windows bring plenty of light to the cloakroom, making the space more transparent and bright.
The compact bedroom layout is centered around the bed and is designed against the wall to save space and provide a sense of security. Soft bedding and warm lighting create a peaceful and comfortable space to rest.
| Cloakroom |
Considering the oppressive feeling of a large wardrobe for a small space, the designer used the cloakroom as a separate space and connected to the bedroom. This design not only meets the storage needs of the homeowner, but also avoids the occupation of space by the wardrobe.
| Toilet |
The bathroom is decorated with gray tiles and white furniture, which is simple and stylish. In order to solve the problem of dark guards, the designers opened a strip skylight in the partition wall between the kitchen and bathroom, bringing in natural light and making the bathroom bright and comfortable.
The design of separating the sink from the shower area ensures the effect of separating dry and wet, and the use of shower curtains is both practical and beautiful. A small partition is installed on the wall above the toilet bowl to make full use of the space above for storage.
