Is a living space of around 30 square meters enough to be lived in properly? Even in the tightest of spaces, there can be enough space if you set it up correctly. With a little imagination and clever solutions, any small apartment can be furnished. We offer an overview of six modern designs of one-room apartments that create comfort in 30 square meters.
Furnishing a small apartment – 6 modern and clever ideas for interior design
The living space of the first one-room apartment is 29 square meters, excludingbalcony, and includes living area, fitted kitchen and bathroom in a single room. The apartment looks extremely modern and airy. It is designed in monochrome colors - white, gray and anthracite, and the concrete-look ceiling gives an industrial design flair.
Optimize 30 square meters of living space
The room layout is functional and also visually structured - the different areas are designed in one color with high contrast. The small fitted kitchen with a white plaster ceiling remains to the side, while the corner sofa with wall shelves is designed in bright light gray. The built-in cupboard and the TV console have a rectangular and straight design, with a high-gloss surface in anthracite gray.

Living idea #2
A chic apartment with an area of just 20 square meters impresses with elegance and girlish charm. Small shimmering details and accents in old pink add a romantic touch. To optimize the limited space, the mirror wall effect is used in this room. It achieves optical illusion for parallel spaces and doubles the light in the room.
Chic little apartment with a particularly feminine look
Of course, all other design elements and furniture shine in white, with a reflective high-gloss surface. The small, functional fitted kitchen offers space for two at the counter. The sofa can be pulled out and becomes a comfortable double bed in the evening. There is also no planned workplace opposite. To make the interior appear lively, small playful accents are used: zebra motifs - fur carpet and cushions and wall units with shiny walnut veneer.
Bright, girly one-room apartment
Indirect, soft lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere in the evening. Different light sources and backlights are used to set accents and blind others.

Living idea #3
A one-room apartment with a living space of 28 square meters looks very simple and simple. The playful accents make an impression - a colorful carpet consisting of several hexagonal pixels and glass lamps in different colors, the black cable of which is visible.
The visually uniform design is ensured by the same structure and color of the ceiling covering and floor covering. White panels for the floor and ceiling, arranged like building blocks, alternate with elements in a light wood look. The outer wall looks like a brick wall, but painted white and can also be seen on the balcony. The space on the balcony serves as an extension of the interior - small seating and workstations are set up on both sides.

Living idea #4
The next small apartment, with an area of only 21 square meters, belongs to a family of three and offers space for everyone. Functional furniture that can be pulled out, folded out or repurposed optimizes the space and makes it livable.
Clever solutions – the coffee table becomes a dining table
The rectangular coffee table can be folded apart and converted into a dining table. The sofa becomes a double bed and behind the white slatted wall there is a bed suitable for a child.
Mirror wall in a small room visually enlarges
The trick with the illusion is used here as an entire wall design and a TV console is placed in the middle. Built-in cupboards provide additional storage space and make every niche usable.

Living idea #5
Neutral, light colors and clear structuring give small rooms and areas a pleasant look and make them appear inviting. The next one-room apartment is designed according to this principle - white, wood and straight lines.
Visually separate the room – use different materials
The use of wood in light shades has a positive effect and is particularly relevant at the moment. The fitted kitchen is on one side and a spacious, modular sofa on the other. The dining area is visually separated by decorative wall paneling with wooden slats. The window “shines” in the center of the room – designed as a cozy reading corner or windowsill.

Living idea #6
Indirect lighting can totally change the space and the next small apartment serves as an example. Neutral, light nuances combined with suitable lighting that accentuates the ceiling provide a positive effect and fresh accents - individuality and a feeling of living. The sleeping area is separated from the living room by a few steps and a small partition. Small niche behind the door is designed as a functional workplace. Modern kitchen with high-gloss cabinet fronts is in the other room.
