"Create an open-plan kitchen and living room space in a small apartment with 270 cm ceilings. The smooth, neutral-toned walls and clean, minimalist lines define the space, with the kitchen area featuring sleek, flat surfaces in a soft matte finish and light-colored cabinetry that blends seamlessly into the wall. The floor transitions smoothly between the living and kitchen areas, with light wood or neutral tile flooring, maintaining harmony in the space. Focus on the interplay of light and shadow, highlighting soft reflections on the walls and flooring. The muted color palette—whites, light greys, and natural wood tones—creates a calming and open atmosphere. Large windows in the living area allow natural light to flood the room, enhancing the clean, minimalist design. No furniture or decor should be present, ensuring the focus is purely on the room's structure, finishes, and the soft light that fills the space. The low ceilings emphasize the compact yet airy feel of the small apartment."
