Media Concept
In the morning, students have to navigate around furniture in the studio; during the day, they search for a workspace; and in the evening, they clear a spot to have dinner. This feeling of cramped space accumulates from small, everyday details and never seems to go away. At the same time, people see beautiful interiors on social media, but they can’t replicate them in their own apartments: the design is oriented toward large spaces, budgets, and capabilities.Small Meters is a Russian-language media outlet dedicated to interior solutions that help people live comfortably even in small spaces. We discuss how zoning, storage, multi-functional furniture, color, and light work. Furthermore, the solutions we propose do not require major renovations or significant investment.
Primary Goal: to provide residents of small-space housing with practical and reproducible solutions that allow them to furnish their space ergonomically, stylishly, and without unnecessary expense.
Thematic Plan
The curriculum covers six essential practical topics, each explored over a dedicated month. Students will gradually master relevant design techniques and learn to optimize their space so that every square foot is functional and the living environment reflects their individuality.
Content Samples
