Designing a luxurious home in just 26 square meters may seem like a challenge—but not for Evgenia Bubenshchikova, a visionary interior designer who has masterfully transformed a compact studio in Alcon Tower into a premium living space. Using pieces from the premium designer furniture store BuGe Furniture, the apartment now reflects elegance, function, and personality.

Whether you're shopping for furniture in Qatar, furniture in Kuwait, or furniture in the UAE, these ideas offer inspiration for your own home—with worldwide shipping available across the Gulf and Europe.
Let’s explore the top 8 interior design strategies used in this exceptional space.
1. Smart Zoning That Maximizes Every MeterIn a 26 sq. m studio, dividing the space wisely is crucial. Evgenia Bubenshchikova created distinct zones—living, sleeping, dining, and cooking—without building physical walls. Instead, she used furniture as architecture, a method that adds flow and flexibility.
The zoning strategy creates the illusion of more space, making the studio feel like a one-bedroom apartment—without losing openness.
2. Minimalist Kitchen with a Luxe TouchDespite its compact size, the kitchen exudes high-end appeal. Crafted entirely from premium materials provided by BuGe Furniture, the space features:
- Durable enamel finishes in a warm, white shade
- Blum accessories for seamless soft-close drawers and cabinets
This minimalist-style kitchen shows that simplicity doesn’t mean sacrifice. Instead of cluttering the area with unnecessary decor, the design speaks through craftsmanship and material choice. The result is a fully functional yet visually refined cooking area that elevates everyday living.
3. Contrasting Upholstery That Captures AttentionTo add a dynamic visual layer to the interior, BuGe Furniture introduced contrasting upholstery elements in two key pieces: the dining chair and the panel of the bed. Both are upholstered in a bold emerald green, which contrasts dramatically with the otherwise beige-toned interior.
This strategic use of color adds vibrancy and elegance, offering visual punctuation within a neutral palette. Green emerald is not only on-trend but also deeply symbolic—it evokes luxury, calmness, and a connection to nature.
Combined with high-quality fabrics and tailored finishes, these pieces become instant focal points, proving that color contrast is one of the most effective ways to elevate a small space.
4. A Calming Base of Elegant Beige TonesWhile accents in emerald green energize the space, the dominant color scheme is beige, chosen for its calming, space-enhancing qualities.
BuGe Furniture offers a wide range of exclusive furniture pieces in muted tones that serve as the foundation of premium interiors. These tones reflect sophistication and create an inviting atmosphere, ideal for small city apartments and high-end villas alike.
The beige color story connects every zone of the studio, reinforcing visual continuity while setting the tone for a tranquil yet luxurious environment.
