Cellini Furniture, a Compact Living Solution for Apartments

Living in an apartment Apartments have become a lifestyle for many people in big cities like Surabaya. The reasons are simple: apartments offer strategic locations, security, and comprehensive facilities. However, one major challenge apartment residents almost always face is limited space.

The compact size of apartments requires residents to be more creative in interior design. This is why the trend minimalist furniture is becoming increasingly popular. It's not just about its simple, modern appearance, but also because this furniture offers a real solution: optimizing limited space without sacrificing comfort or aesthetics.

Cellini As a modern interior brand, we offer a wealth of compelling inspiration for creating stylish, tidy, and multifunctional apartment living. Let's delve deeper into how minimalist furniture can be key to compact apartment living.

The Challenges of Living in an Apartment with Limited Space

Not everyone realizes that living in a compact apartment requires a special strategy. Apartment sizes typically range from 24–60 m², leaving many residents overwhelmed with interior design. Some common issues include:

• Limited storage space. Everyday items often pile up without a clear place. As a result, the room feels crowded and cluttered.
• Arranging living rooms and bedrooms can be difficult. If the furniture is too large, the space will feel cramped. Conversely, if the furniture is too small, its functionality will be less than optimal.
• Low flexibility. Conventional furniture typically serves only one function, while apartments require furniture that can adapt to a variety of needs.
• Lack of aesthetics. A focus on function often leads to neglecting design. Yet, interior appearance also has a significant impact on occupant comfort.

This is where the concept of multifunctional minimalist furniture comes in. It's not just about simple design, but rather furniture that can adapt to limited space, serve more than one function, and still add aesthetic value to a room.

Cellini not only presents concepts, but has also prepared concrete proposal plans for various types of urban residences in apartments with compact living concept:

1. 2 Bedroom Apartment – ​​Equivalent to a House/Residence with an Area Category of 60 m² (square meters)

Perfect for a young couple or small family, this 60 m² two-bedroom apartment offers greater flexibility in space planning. You can designate one bedroom as the master suite, while the second bedroom can function as a study, a child's room, or even a hobby room.

To avoid feeling cramped, Cellini recommends using multifunctional furniture—such as bedrooms with storage drawers, folding work desks, and sofas with hidden storage. Additionally, utilizing vertical storage and a minimalist design will help keep the apartment neat and spacious.

2. 1 Bedroom Apartment – ​​Equivalent to a House/Residence with an Area Category of 48 m² (square meters)

This type is ideal for those living alone or couples who want more personal space than a studio. With 48 m², you can still have a separate sleeping area, living room, small kitchen, and comfortable bathroom.

Cellini recommends using soft or curved partitions to differentiate between spaces without making them feel closed in. Sleek, integrated furniture choices—such as open wall shelves or a folding dining table—keep the home feeling spacious despite its limited space.

3. Studio Apartment – ​​Equivalent to a House/Residence with an Area Category of 32 m² (square meters)

A studio apartment with an area of ​​32 m² is the most compact and efficient type, often chosen by students, urban workers, or those seeking a practical lifestyle. All activities—sleeping, eating, relaxing, and working—are located in one open space.

To address space constraints, Cellini introduced the concept of "modular zones," a clever division of functions within a single room. For example, a sofa can double as a bed, a work desk can be combined with a bookshelf, and a dining table can be folded away when not in use. With Cellini's smart design and compact furniture, even a small studio can feel comfortable and stylish.

With the right layout and furniture selection, any type of apartment—whether two-bedroom, one-bedroom, or studio—can become a comfortable, modern home with maximum functionality.
