This flat in Moscow had been rented out for years. When her latest tenant moved out, the owner decided to renovate it. The original plan was to just freshen it up cosmetically, but interior designer Irina Nosova suggested significant improvements to the layout.



Irina’s plan involved turning the studio into a one-bedroom apartment: the sofa-bed gave way to a separate bedroom, while the kitchen was repositioned into a recessed space just off the living room for a much more functional layout.
