Studio apartment interior design in Riga

A design project with Valerija Gelfere starts at 10 € per m²: from 250 € for a 25 m² studio and from 300 € for 30 m². 3D visualization can be added from 5 € per m², which is from 125 € for 25 m².

First divide the room into zones: the bed away from the entrance, the kitchen near the plumbing, the living area by the window. Zones are separated with furniture, lighting, flooring or a glass partition rather than walls, so daylight reaches the whole room.

The sleeping area can be separated with a shelving unit, a curtain, a glass partition or a platform with storage inside. If space is tight, a sofa bed or a wall bed that folds into a cupboard works well.

The best places are floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, shelves above doors, drawers under the bed or in a platform and built-in furniture in alcoves. Closed doors make the room feel calmer than open shelving.

Light, uniform colours on walls and floor, mirrors, light from several points and furniture on legs make a room feel larger. One flooring throughout and curtains hung from the ceiling also help.

The kitchen usually goes next to the existing water and drainage pipes, because moving them is expensive. A powerful extractor hood and closed cabinets help keep the kitchen from taking over the room.

In a small space mistakes cost more, because every centimetre has to be used. For a 25 m² studio the project starts at 250 €, and before renovation it is already clear where the bed, kitchen and wardrobes go and where the sockets are needed.

Yes. Valerija Gelfere runs the whole project: the renovation is carried out by trusted crews and companies she works with regularly, and she supervises the work herself so it matches the drawings.
