Cute, compact, and colourful, these three charming French apartments are little rays of sunshine. Designed by Neva Interior Architecture , each modest apartment design offers a fresh different set of ideas on how to tackle small-space living. We’ll take a mini tour through a 19-square-metre studio apartment with a mezzanine bed that’s lofted right above the front door and a small shower room/laundry room combo. Next we’ll enter a curiously shaped 30-square-metre attic apartment layout with a challenging tier-fall roof. Finally, we’ll finish with a bright and airy 36-square-metre apartment, which is tucked into a hidden pocket of flowery countryside in the city of Paris.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation

Visualizer:Design At Sketch

Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.

2. Add Wooden Elements

Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
