Ideas for odnushki. Design projects of one-room apartments

There is never a lot of living space. But this axiom often does not affect the owners of spacious apartments. the best way- large areas are wasted irrationally. But the owners of small-sized apartments are accustomed to saving every centimeter of space and already know by heart all the ways to visually expand the space and efficiently plan. Given the continuous rise in real estate prices (especially in large cities), many of us may consider it happiness to own even a small, but separate studio apartment... And it is necessary to equip this home with maximum practicality, comfort and efficiency. Not forgetting about modern trends and personal preferences in interior design. The task is not easy, but doable. Moreover, over the years, designers have accumulated considerable experience in creating ergonomic, functional and visually attractive design projects for one-room apartments. We bring to your attention a kaleidoscope of ideas for creating a multifunctional interior for a small area home and we hope that it will help you create an original and comfortable design for your own apartment.

Design ideas for decorating a small area home

Before you start planning repairs in a one-room apartment, you need to decide on the number of functional segments:

  • whether the kitchen and the room will be combined to increase the total area and create an open-plan interior (this may require not only the demolition of walls and dismantling of doorways, but also the transfer of communication systems);
  • decide on the number of zones in the living room - a segment of sleep and rest, a video zone, workplace, children's Corner;
  • it is also necessary to find out whether it is possible to increase the total area by attaching a loggia;
  • in the "Khrushchevs" there is a pantry that can be converted into a built-in wardrobe, thereby relieving the room and saving you from the need to install a large storage system for the wardrobe of the whole family.

If in fact it is not always possible to change the number of free meters, then it is not difficult to achieve a visual expansion of the space using the following design techniques:

  • one of the simplest and most popular ways is to use a light palette. In order for the room to appear larger, but at the same time not to look shapeless (which happens when a light tone is applied to all surfaces), use the following tonal layout - the ceiling is the lightest, the walls are one or two tones darker, and the floor covering is contrasting dark;
  • glossy, glass and mirrored surfaces will also help to create a light and fresh image of the room, slightly shifting the boundaries of the small area of ​​your only room;
  • in small spaces, it is necessary to give preference to furnishing simple and laconic models. Any manufacturer has in its arsenal a line of compact, but functional and incredibly practical models of sofas and armchairs, storage systems and attributes to them;
  • keep the use of decor to a minimum, this does not mean that the entire furnishings should be minimalist, devoid of decorations, but refuse floor elements will have to, giving preference to the metered use of wall decorative elements;
  • small spaces especially need sufficient lighting. If you can very rarely increase window openings to increase the flow of natural light, then you can provide the room with several sources artificial lighting just necessary. With the help of the lighting system, you can not only zone the space, but also decorate it.

In small rooms, you have to use the entire arsenal of useful design techniques for the correct distribution of space and its visual increase. Light shades are also used color palette finishes and furnishings, the use of pieces of furniture made to fit the size of the room and ideally fit into it, the use of transforming mechanisms and staying true to the principles of minimalism.

The combined use of white shades for the decoration of surfaces and the installation of mirror planes as part of the decoration allows you to create maximum illumination even in a room located on the north side of the building. The snow-white environment is best "diluted" with integration wooden surfaces and furnishings in warm, natural colors - from pastel to dark chocolate.

No less effect for creating a light, airy image of a room can be achieved by using glass and plastic interior elements. Transparent plastic and glass seem to dissolve in space. Lunch group or coffee table, desk or console - all these items will not weigh down the design of a single room if they have a transparent texture. For a modern style of room decoration, such elements are perfect.

In adjoining spaces, you must take advantage of any available advantage. For example, if the ceilings in your apartment are above average, then use this design feature just necessary. Built-in storage systems under the very ceiling are only at first glance impractical. To get to them, you need to use a stepladder or at least a chair. But after all, you can store in such lockers household items that are taken out once a season or even used as needed.

The high ceiling of the apartment can be used to create an additional living level. A sleeping place as a loft bed for adults is a reality of our time. Scarcity square meters can be more than compensated for by creating a second level. It is only important to entrust this occupation to specialists who will be able not only to correctly calculate the load, but also to perform all work with a quality guarantee. By transferring the sleeping area to the upper tier, you free up the main space for arranging the living room, dining room and kitchen.

Transforming furniture items can significantly simplify life for those who are forced to have a living room, bedroom, workplace and, possibly, a kitchen with a dining room in one room. Folding bed, which is hidden behind the front of the cabinet during the day, can be expanded at night into a full-fledged sleeping place for two. Folding tabletops that can serve both for organizing a dining area and a workplace. All these devices, which can hide in the closet during the reception of guests, serve the hosts to create a comfortable environment after they leave. But it is important to remember that each tilt mechanism has its own maximum load limit. When making furniture with folding mechanisms or buying ready-made solutions, it is important not to save on fittings - after all, all the elements will be activated daily and even several times a day.

When creating interiors for small spaces in which it is necessary to connect several functional segments, many designers are inspired by the ideas of Scandinavian style. Despite the fact that this style loves spacious and light rooms, its motives can also be used to decorate small apartments. A reasonable share of minimalism, the creation of the most practical, but at the same time comfortable environment, simple and laconic solutions in terms of furnishing and “green light to use a decor dear to the heart to bring comfort to the home - these are the main ideas that attract designers and their customers.

Studio apartment or combining kitchen with room

It is not without reason that the combination of all functional segments of the home with the isolation of only the bathroom has gained such high popularity all over the world. This design technique allows you to create the most comfortable and spacious room as much as possible in principle with the number of available square meters. If twenty years ago this type of dwelling was still a novelty for our compatriots, now it is practiced with great success for married couples without children or singles.

Did you get a studio apartment with a ready-made layout or did you have to demolish all non-load-bearing partitions on your own - the result is the same - you need to properly distribute the available space. The advantage of such rooms is that the entire space is evenly illuminated by the sun's rays (there are no partitions or other obstacles) and it seems larger than its actual size due to the use of an open plan. But at the same time, it is nevertheless necessary to provide each functional segment with artificial lighting sources.

One of the advantages of using an open plan is the absence of any partitions and obstacles not only for traffic, but also for the spread of light. Functional segments are zoned with furnishings. It is also possible to designate the conditional boundaries of each zone using carpet (in the living room and bedroom segment, for example) and a lighting system (obviously, one central chandelier will not be enough for the entire room).

In the case of an open plan, there are two options for the distribution of recreation and sleep areas, work space. In the first case, the room is made out as a living room, and a sofa bed plays the role of a sleeping place, which can be expanded only for the night. The advantage of such a layout is that it is possible to organize such an environment even on a very modest-sized area. But there is also a significant drawback - the owners will have to constantly sleep on the couch, and even the most comfortable models cannot be compared in terms of ergonomics with sleeping in a bed on an orthopedic mattress.

If your living room will serve you as a bedroom at the same time, then it is best to opt for a sofa on the corner model. When assembled, in the daytime, such sofas can offer a sufficient number of seats for the owners and their guests, in the evening they can be laid out into a full-fledged sleeping place for two. Among other things, the corner structure is very convenient to install in the corner of the room by the window. Thus, the light from the window opening will not be blocked (which is very important for small spaces) and the “dead” zone of the room will be used as efficiently as possible.

The second way to organize functional areas in a single room is to install a full-fledged bed in the form of a bed and upholstered furniture to decorate the living room recreation area. This option is suitable for couples without children and those who are not embarrassed by the openness of the sleeping area. Depending on the size of the room, the living area can be directly adjacent to the sleeping segment or set aside with furniture.

One of the ways to zoning a bed in a common room is to build a bed on a podium. In such structures, it is very convenient to have spacious storage systems, which are always lacking in small-sized dwellings.

We isolate the sleeping area in the common room

Not all owners of one-room dwellings are suitable for an open-plan option. For many, it is important to be able to retire to a sleeping and resting area to one degree or another. For some, frosted glass is enough interior partition while others need blackout curtains that do not allow light to pass through. Depending on the size of the room, the number of windows and the size of the bed (single or large double), which needs to be isolated, you can choose the following design options for sleeping areas:

The sleeping and resting area behind the interior partition gives the owners a feeling of some privacy, but at the same time does not completely separate the segment from the general space. At the same time, light from the windows can also penetrate into the sleeping area if there is no window opening there. It is most practical to use shelves or cabinets as an interior partition. This can be either a double-sided shelving unit with open shelves, or a storage system on one side and a surface on which you can hang shelves, a mirror, a TV or wall decor on the other.

Curtains, roller blinds, vertical blinds and other types of fabric barriers can be an option for isolating a sleeping place for those who need to be able to have privacy. This method does not require you to build partitions. You only need to install a guide for fastening curtains or blinds. If the guide is attached to the ceiling, then in the curtain version the sleeping area will not receive its share of natural light (provided that there is no window in the sleeping segment). If you place the curtain bar at the level of a person's height, then the remaining space will be enough to provide a segment, albeit dim, but still lighting.

Another option for creating a fence for a berth is to decorate the area with glass (or partially such) partitions. Almost half of the sun's rays penetrate through matte surfaces, but at the same time what happens behind the partition remains hardly distinguishable. The glass partition gives a feeling of isolation on the one hand, and leaves the thought of belonging to the common space on the other.

Experts recommend using glass baffle inserts when creating a fully insulated sleeping and resting segment. Even small transparent inserts from the ceiling to the doorway will help provide the sleeping area with a small amount of natural light, which may be enough to stay in this segment. daytime... For the evening and night time, you will in any case provide the room with lighting fixtures.

Kitchen design in a small apartment

As a rule, the kitchen space in standard (and even more so in small-sized) apartments has an area of ​​no more than 6.5 square meters. And on this small piece of space, it is necessary to arrange all the necessary household appliances, storage systems, not forgetting about the organization of the dining area. Usually, it is for this functional segment that there is not enough space, and the dining table and chairs have to be transferred to the common room, placing the dining room near the living area. But if a married couple without children lives in a one-room apartment, you can organize a small place for meals by extending the countertop of the kitchen island or by adapting an enlarged window sill for this purpose.

Experts recommend abandoning ready-made kitchen solutions in favor of custom-made headsets that will exactly match the capabilities of a modest room and use its advantages most effectively. There is never a lot of storage systems, especially in the kitchen space. Even a small niche near the gas water heater or the space under the windowsill can become a place for installing a wall cabinet or an open shelf.

In the long and narrow kitchen it is most logical to use a parallel layout of the furniture set. With this distribution of storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces between the rows of kitchen cabinets, there is usually only room left for movement, but not in any way for installing a dining group. If the length of the kitchen space allows, then install a large dining table with chairs or a compact kitchen corner can be in one of the corners of the room in front of the entrance. Otherwise, the dining area will have to be moved to the common area.

If the kitchen is part of a common room, then as a layout kitchen set most often linear or angular (L-shaped) layouts are used. If there is enough space for organizing the kitchen segment, then the set can be supplemented with a kitchen island or peninsula, which most often becomes a place for meals by extending the table top. But in most cases, you have to limit yourself to the linear arrangement of the furniture ensemble with integrated household appliances. The kitchen area and the rest of the room usually have the same finish. An exception is made only for the design of the kitchen apron and sometimes the floor covering in the work area.

A small studio apartment is a cozy space that can be easily made functional. This requires the correct layout, the choice of a suitable design and careful arrangement.

Pros and cons of a small studio apartment

A one-room apartment of a small area allows you to create comfortable conditions and a stylish interior. The correct arrangement of a small space allows you to organize all the necessary zones. For this, various design solutions. Effective method is transforming furniture. It is also important to take into account all the features of the space, because the method of planning the apartment depends on it.

The advantages of a one-room apartment of a small area are as follows:

  • it is quite easy to put things in order in a small room, and the cleaning process does not take much time;
  • space design in the style of minimalism is an up-to-date and practical solution;
  • there is no need to think over the layout of several rooms, depending on their purpose.

A small one-room apartment has such disadvantages as:

  • a small area of ​​space that does not allow the creation of separate functional areas, for example, a bedroom and an office;
  • a careful selection of furniture is necessary, which does not take up much space and is practical;
  • it is impossible to use complex and voluminous types of decor, massive objects in the interior;
  • careful organization of the storage system is necessary to maintain order.

Layout options for small-sized housing (including for Khrushchev)

A studio apartment or a small studio apartment requires careful planning. In this case, it is not necessary to create partitions and complex structures to separate zones. The best option would be the absence of unnecessary details, which will make the room more spacious. A number of factors are taken into account to determine the appropriate layout.

The layout in a small one-room apartment or studio involves the arrangement of only the main areas. This takes into account the number of people living in the room. For a married couple without children or a lonely person, the layout is optimal, in which there is a sleeping area, a workplace, a TV. At the same time, the kitchen is separated by a main wall and serves as a kitchen-dining room. An effective solution for increasing space is to combine the kitchen and the room. This solution is optimal for an apartment of 18, 14 or less square meters. m.

It is easy to make a spacious room comfortable and functional. In a studio apartment of 33 sq. At the same time, a small dressing room is often equipped in a room or hallway, which is much more practical than a classic wardrobe. A partition is installed in the room, separating the bedroom and living room. A simple option is to combine the living room and bedroom, but the furniture should be transformable.

Zoning with partitions

Partitions are an effective method of dividing space. The elements of various types allow you to zone a one-room apartment and create comfortable conditions. Spaces are often divided with plasterboard partitions, mobile screens, curtains, and other options. The details are optimal for a one-room apartment with an area of ​​more than 18 sq. m. This is due to the fact that the apartment in Khrushchev is very small, and the partitions will make the space less free and comfortable.

The most voluminous plasterboard partitions, since when they are created, part of the usable area is lost. This option is optimal for a spacious room. In an apartment of a small area, movable screens and curtains are often used. The elements are compact and allow you to divide the necessary zones. Partitions arranged like compartment doors are often used. The structure settles down clearly around the bed and separates the living room from the recreation area.

In a one-room apartment less than 18 sq. m. it is best to avoid various partitions. The presence of a loggia or balcony allows you to expand the space by insulating and arranging these additional square meters. As an exception, it is worth separating the sleeping area, but often the transforming sofa is a sleeping place and furniture for the living room. In a small one-room apartment of 14 sq. m. it is very difficult to divide the functional areas and therefore, in this case, partitions are not used.

The most difficult option for a partition is a plasterboard construction. The construction is practical, convenient, but requires correct installation... This is due to the fact that the material is sensitive to various factors. At the same time, plasterboard structures are best suited for a spacious one-room apartment.

Choosing a style for interior design

When arranging a small one-room apartment, the style of the interior is of particular importance. A room with an area of ​​33 or 18 square meters or less. m. requires careful development of a design project. In this case, the main requirement for the design of a small space is to use a minimum number of parts. Massive elements and pieces of furniture do not allow you to organize comfort zones.

High tech

This design direction is in great demand and is characterized by restrained decor, maximum functionality of every detail. It is quite simple to decorate a one-room apartment of any size in high-tech style. In this case, light shades are appropriate, as well as contrasting combinations. It is worth avoiding many dark tones, which visually make the room less spacious.

High-tech style involves the use of modern lighting options. It should be rich. The division of space is often carried out by contrasting the design of the zones in the apartment. For example, in one room, the sleeping area is decorated in dark colors, and the living room is lighter. Bright shades are appropriate in the kitchen, but any room needs a minimum of decor.

Eco style

Natural shades and materials, natural surface structures, simple grace and comfort are distinctive features design of an apartment in an eco-style. An interior in this style assumes the correct forms of all objects and the maximum naturalness of colors. Furniture, decoration, textiles are harmoniously combined with each other. At the same time, there are no unnecessary elements that make the interior complex and the atmosphere heavy.

A one-room apartment of any size can be easily decorated in an eco-style using light shades. Bright elements of natural green, moderate yellow, brown tones will emphasize the harmony of the combinations.

Provence

Lack of pretentiousness and luxury, slightly worn surfaces, faded fabrics and uneven wall finishes are the main characteristics of a Provence style interior. The furnishings do not imply luxury, shiny decor, glossy surfaces and perfect renovation... This design direction is appropriate in country house, but you can create a Provence style atmosphere in a one-room apartment of any size.

When decorating a room, it is important to take into account that shabby, aged parts should be present in moderation. In a harmonious interior, uneven wall decoration or worn countertops are enough. Provence assumes a slight shade of simplicity, discreetness.

Art Deco

The art deco interior is distinguished by refined luxury, originality of color combinations and unusual decor. This design option is suitable for a spacious one-room apartment. In the design, it is appropriate to use ceramic figurines, wooden furniture with chrome fittings, elements from exotic materials.

In the art deco interior, abstract paintings, contrasting combinations, glossy surfaces are appropriate. To visually increase the space, light shades, rich lighting are often used. The high ceiling allows for multi-level structures that add style and luxury to the space.

Modern

The main distinguishing characteristic of the Art Nouveau style is the combination of simple elements with graceful details. Furniture from natural wood decorated with frosted glass, carved facades, shiny fittings. Moreover, all the details of the furnishings are functional and compact, which is optimal for a small one-room apartment.

In the interior, you can use mirror surfaces, light partitions. Such details allow you to visually increase the space. Wallpaper with patterns in the form of large flowers or leaves is an effective solution. One-color walls are also optimal.

Scandinavian style

The room, decorated in a Scandinavian style, has laconic and graceful elements. The design uses elements from natural materials. Light shades are optimal for a small apartment, visually increasing the space.

When decorating, furniture made of light natural wood is appropriate. Finishing, textiles can be milky, pale yellow, peach tones. Beige or light brown details will complement the decor.

Room decoration

When arranging an apartment, finishing requires special attention. Various materials are used for this, but should not be used complex structures that take up useful space and do not differ in functionality. Finishing is carried out after careful planning, development of a design project. The color scheme of the interior, the type of surfaces used, and furniture are pre-selected.

Flooring

Floor covering in any apartment should be comfortable, practical and durable. Laminate and linoleum are in demand, and ceramic tiles are often used in the kitchen. The color of the material is selected depending on the style of the interior. For furnishings in light colors, do not use a very dark floor covering. At the same time, you can zone the space using a coating of contrasting shades.

Walls

It is easy to decorate the walls with the help of various materials. Decorative plaster is suitable for Provence-style interiors, and the wallpaper is universal. Photo wallpaper or a combination of contrasting coatings help to zone the space. For example, the wall behind the sofa should be pasted over with dark wallpaper, and the rest of the space is decorated with light.

The work area in the kitchen is best decorated with ceramic tiles. In the hallway or room, you should not use panels, plasterboard structures. This is due to the fact that such structures take up useful space.

Ceiling

The high ceiling in the apartment allows you to create original multi-level structures. This finish is appropriate for any interior style. Stretch ceiling also suitable, and especially an impressively glossy finish. And also the colored background looks original light color where the light sources are placed.

Light patterns may be present on the ceiling. Decorating of this type allows you not to use complex elements in the interior.

How to furnish an apartment

The main requirement for furniture for a one-room apartment is compactness, functionality and the possibility of transformation. The living room, combined with the sleeping area, the work area, assumes the presence of a universal sofa. And you also need a TV, small and narrow cabinets, a table. With a large area in the hallway, it is worth placing narrow cabinet or replace one of the walls with built-in furniture. A small dressing room is an effective solution, but it is very difficult to create such a zone in a one-room apartment in Khrushchev.

Placement ideas

Compact furniture is used in a one-room apartment of a small area. In this case, its location is of particular importance. There is often a desktop by the window. This piece of furniture is more functional on an insulated loggia, if there is such a space in the apartment.

The sofa is installed against the wall, but opposite it is best to place the area with the TV. A practical solution is the bed, which is separated from the rest of the space by a partition.

Shelves for decor items, books, flowers are best placed in the corners of the room. At the same time, useful space is saved, and the atmosphere acquires a special comfort. Shelves, paintings, tapestry and other similar decor options are appropriate over a sofa or bed.

If the apartment does not have a wall between the room or the kitchen, then a partition is required. A design imitating a bar counter is a common design solution.

Lighting, decoration, textiles

When arranging a living space of a small area, it is important to pay attention to lighting. Massive chandeliers, many wall lamps and floor lamps are inappropriate, as they take up useful space. Therefore, the optimal solution is Spotlights... It is very easy to arrange a complex of such elements on a ceiling of any type, providing bright lighting.

Bulky and massive decor in a small apartment is inappropriate. Paintings, corner shelves, wallpaper, ceiling decoration, mirrors - these elements decorate the space and do not take up much space. In this case, the decor should be of the optimal color, which will provide a harmonious combination and comfort.

Numerous textile elements make cleaning difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, in a one-room apartment, it is best to hang blinds, roller blinds, light curtains on the windows. Textiles of this type will provide protection from sunlight, emphasize the style of the interior and comfort.

Designing a design for a one-room apartment is not an easy task. This is due to the fact that a single living space should perform several different functions at once - to provide an opportunity for work or study, serve as a place for communication, rest and sleep at night, and in some cases be a children's room at the same time. In addition, the footage of such apartments, as a rule, does not allow the designer to use standard solutions, it is not enough just to fence off its own corner for each zone, it is necessary to preserve the feeling of free space to the maximum, which increases the comfort of living.

We present to your attention 12 of the best modern designs of one-room apartments.

1. One-room apartment 42 sq. m.

The use of light colors in the design of the apartment made it possible to create comfort in a small space and maintain a sense of spaciousness. The living room has only 17 sq. m. area, but all the necessary functional areas are located here, and each of them performs several functions at once. So, the recreation area, or "sofa", at night turns into a bedroom, the sitting area with an armchair and a bookcase can easily be transformed into a study or a playroom for a child.

The corner arrangement of the kitchen made it possible to organize the dining area, and glass door"To the floor", leading to the loggia, added light and air.

2. Design of a one-room apartment without redevelopment, 36 sq. m.

In this project bearing wall turned out to be an obstacle to changing the layout, so the designers had to act within the given space. The living room was divided into two parts by an open rack - this simple solution is very effective in many cases, allowing for visual delimitation of zones without cluttering the space and reducing the luminous flux.

The bed is located by the window, there is also a kind of mini-office - a small bureau desk with a work chair. The rack serves as a bedside table in the sleeping area.

In the back of the room, behind a rack that plays the role of a bookcase and a display case for souvenirs, there is a living room with a comfortable sofa and a large TV. A full-wall sliding wardrobe allows you to store many things and does not clutter up the space, its mirrored doors visually double the room and enhance its illumination.

The refrigerator was moved from the kitchen to the hallway, which freed up space for the dining area. Hanging cabinets on one of the walls were abandoned to make the kitchen seem more spacious.

3. One-room apartment 40 sq. m.

A good project that shows how convenient it is to equip an apartment for one or two people, taking into account all the requirements for a modern level of comfort, without having to change the original planning solution.

The main room is the living room. Furniture in the room: comfortable corner sofa, a large screen TV mounted on a hanging console - on the opposite wall. A large storage system is provided for clothes and other necessary things. There is also a coffee table, which adds completeness to the interior. At night, the living room is transformed into a bedroom - an unfolded sofa forms a comfortable place to sleep.

If necessary, the living room can be easily converted into a study: for this you need to open two doors of the storage system - behind them is a tabletop, a small shelf for documents and books; the work chair slides out from under the table top.

In order not to burden the space, which is already not too much, in the kitchen they abandoned the traditional top row of hinged shelves, replacing them with open shelves.

At the same time, there are even more places where you can keep kitchen utensils and supplies - the entire wall opposite the work area is occupied by a large storage system with a niche into which a sofa is built. Next to him is a small dining group. Rationally organized space allowed not only to preserve free space, but also to reduce the cost of kitchen furniture.

4. Modern studio apartment 37 sq. m.

The design of this one-room apartment is 37 sq. m. every square centimeter is used. The sofa, armchairs and a coffee table, which form a seating area, are raised to the podium and thus stand out from the general volume. At night, a sleeping place is extended from under the podium: orthopedic mattress provides good sleep.

The television panel, on the other hand, is built into a large storage system - its volume made it possible to correct the initially irregular, too elongated shape of the room. Under it is a living flame, covered by the glass of the bio fireplace. A screen hides in the box above the storage system - you can lower it to watch movies.

The small kitchen area contains three functional zones at once:

  • a storage system with a worktop and kitchen equipment is built along one of the walls, forming a kitchen;
  • there is a dining area near the window, consisting of round table and four designer chairs around it;
  • on the windowsill there is a lounge area where you can relax and have a coffee while having a friendly conversation, enjoying the views from the window.

5. Project of an apartment with a dedicated bedroom

Even in a small one-room apartment, you can have a separate bedroom, and you don't need to move the walls or build the space according to the studio principle: the kitchen takes up a separate volume and is completely fenced off from the rest of the apartment.

The project provides for the location of the bedroom near a single window. There is a standard double bed, a narrow chest of drawers that serves as dressing table, and one bedside table. The role of the second bedside table is played by a low partition between the bedroom and the living room - its height allows you to maintain the feeling of a large space and provides daylight to the entire living area.

Lilac wallpaper with an elegant pattern is in harmony with the mustard color of the walls in the design of the kitchen, made in the same style as the room.

6. Design of an apartment of 36 sq. m.

Maximum functionality and impeccable design are the main advantages of the project. The living room and the bedroom were visually separated by wooden slats: starting from the bed, they reach the ceiling and can change orientation similarly to the shutters: in the daytime they “open” and let light into the living room, at night they “close” and isolate the sleeping place.

Light in the living room is added by the bottom lighting of the console chest of drawers, effectively highlighting the main decorative piece of furniture: a coffee table from a cut of a huge trunk. On the dresser is a bio-fueled fireplace and a TV panel above it. Opposite there is a comfortable sofa.

The bedroom has a double-use wardrobe, which stores not only clothes, but also books. Bed linen is stored in a drawer under the bed.

Due to the angular arrangement kitchen furniture and island - oven, managed to organize a small dining area.

7. Corner apartment 32 sq. meters

In the project of a one-room apartment, the living space is divided into two: private and public. This was done due to the angular arrangement of the apartment, which led to the presence of two windows in the room. The use of IKEA furniture in the design has reduced the project budget. Bright textiles were used as decorative accents.

A ceiling-to-floor storage system divided the bedroom and living area. On the living room side, the storage system has a TV niche, as well as storage shelves. Near the wall opposite there is a structure of drawers, in the center of which sofa cushions form cozy place for relax.

On the side of the bedroom, it has an open niche that replaces the bedside table for the owners. Another cabinet is suspended from the wall - a pouf can be placed under it to save space.

The main color in the design is white, which makes it visually spacious. The dining table folds down to save space. Its natural wood worktop softens the strict style of decoration and makes the kitchen more comfortable.

8. Interior of the apartment in a modern style

The main condition set for the designers was the preservation of the isolated position of the kitchen. Additionally, it was necessary to provide quite a large number of storage locations. The living area was supposed to accommodate a bedroom, a living room, a dressing room and small office for work. And all this is on 36 sq. m.

The main idea of ​​the modern design of a one-room apartment is the separation of functional zones and their logical combination with the help of contrasting colors of the spectrum: red, white and black.

Red in the design actively highlights the recreation area in the living room and the study on the loggia, logically connecting them together. The graceful black and white pattern that adorns the headboard is repeated in a softer color combination in the decoration of the office and bathroom. A black wall with a TV panel and a storage system visually moves the sofa part away, expanding the space.

The bedroom was placed in a niche, with a podium built - it can be used for storing things.

9. The project of a one-room apartment 43 sq. m.

Having received at their disposal a standard "odnushka" of the 10/11/02 PIR-44 series with ceilings with a height of 2.57, the designers decided to use the square meters provided to them to the maximum, while dispensing with redevelopment.

The convenient location of the doorways made it possible to allocate space in the room for a separate dressing room. The partition was lined with white decorative bricks, as well as a part of the adjacent wall - the brick in the design allocated a place for relaxation with an armchair and a decorative fireplace.

The sofa, which serves as a sleeping place, was highlighted with a patterned wallpaper.

A separate seating area was also organized in the kitchen, replacing two chairs in the dining area with a small sofa.

10. Apartment 38 sq. meters in a typical house, KOPE series

The combination of white, gray and warm beige creates a relaxing, serene atmosphere. The living room has two zones. There is a large bed near the window, opposite which a TV panel is installed on a bracket above a tall narrow chest of drawers. It can be deployed towards a small seating area with a sofa and a coffee table, accented with a plain beige floor carpet and located at the back of the room.

The upper part of the wall opposite the bed is decorated with a huge mirror attached to the wall on a special frame. This adds light and makes the room look much more spacious.

The corner kitchen has a lot of storage space. The combination of gray oak for the fronts of the lower row of cabinets, the white gloss of the upper ones and the shiny surface of the glass apron adds a play of texture and shine.

11. One-room apartment 33 sq. m.

The design of the apartment is executed in modern style- a lot of wood, natural materials, nothing superfluous - just what is needed. To separate the sleeping area from the rest of the living space, glass was used - such a partition practically does not take up space, it allows you to maintain the illumination of the entire room and at the same time makes it possible to isolate the private part of the apartment from prying eyes - for this, a curtain serves, which can be pulled if desired.

In the decoration of an insulated kitchen, it is used as the main White color, the color of natural light wood serves as an additional color.

12. Apartment 44 sq. meters from the nursery

An excellent example of how competent zoning can achieve comfortable living conditions in the limited space of a family with children.

The room is divided into two parts by a structure specially built for this purpose, which hides a storage system. From the side of the nursery, this is a wardrobe for storing clothes and toys, from the side of the living room, which serves as a bedroom for parents, a spacious system for storing clothes and other things.

In the children's section, a loft bed was placed, under which there was a place for a student to study. The "adult part" serves as a living room in the daytime, and turns into a double bed as a night sofa.

Fit all the necessary zones and adapt them to the life scenario of the owners. Make them functional and aesthetic. This is, perhaps, the main task that it sets itself modern design one-room apartment in 2017.

Kitchen area, dining room, bathroom, dressing room, place to rest and sleep. Sometimes a nursery, study or living room is added to this. It's good if for all these needs there is at least 40 sq. m. But sometimes you need to create a miracle for 20 square meters. m, connecting imagination and all available design techniques.

The interior of a one-room apartment does not shape the lifestyle of the owners, but adapts to it. Based on this principle, the number of required zones and their sizes are formed. So, a spacious kitchen area will not be appropriate in the apartment of a person who is used to eating outside the home.

Stages of creating an interior design for a one-room apartment in 2017:



In addition, modern trends indicate a reduction in the area allocated for sleeping places. It should still be comfortable, but at the same time as laconic as possible. Massive wardrobes and dressers have faded into oblivion or transformed into disguised built-in niches.

The design of a one-room apartment largely depends on the composition of the family. Styles such as modern, classic, hi-tech are well suited for a married couple. Provence and shabby chic can be attributed to the female direction. And for men - loft and minimalism. Of course, this is a conditional division.

Each project is individual and focuses primarily on personal preferences and the purpose of the living space. For example, a bachelor's apartment can be both a place for noisy parties and a cozy den for sleeping and relaxing.



The studio apartment is still a popular option. With proper zoning, this solution allows you to create a cozy space even on an area of ​​18 sq. m. And functionality and ergonomics come to the fore, not forgetting about aesthetics. Where do you start? Having decided on the requirements for the future living space, it is necessary to start detailed planning. In the future, this will avoid many problems, and the repair will not take many months.

Design project of a one-room apartment

First, let's look at the main stages of developing a design project:

  1. drawing up a measurement drawing;
  2. layout of functional areas;
  3. if necessary, a plan for dismantling and installing partitions is drawn up;
  4. drawing up options for furnishing;
  5. planning the placement of plumbing;
  6. development of a floor plan (if necessary, with a floor heating scheme);
  7. development of a ceiling plan;
  8. development of a layout of sockets and lighting equipment;
  9. preparation of color solutions;
  10. selection of decorative elements;
  11. creation of 3D visualization.

However, this information is not enough to answer the question "how to make a design project of a one-room apartment with your own hands?" Therefore, let's decipher each stage separately using a specific example.

It all starts with measurements. They should be as accurate as possible, since the correctness of all project documentation depends on this. Pay special attention to the height of the walls, as even in new buildings it may differ. Based on the measurements, we draw up a measurement plan. Next, we develop options for the arrangement of furniture, appliances and plumbing equipment, indicating the size.

The design project of a one-room studio apartment necessarily includes a plan of openings and installation / dismantling of partitions. Here, separate footnotes indicate wall insulation, the construction of podiums and other similar information. It should be noted that some types of redevelopment must be agreed with the appropriate authority.

Now we turn to the floor and ceiling finishing plans, in which we work out the types and boundaries of coatings / facing materials. For the ceiling, we also mark the lighting fixtures, select the lighting scenario. Here the design project of a one-room apartment enters a very important stage - the development of an electrical circuit. Here we indicate the switches and their types, bindings to the nearest partition, the location of the sockets and their types.

Next, we make a scan of the rooms. On the plan of the apartment, we assign a serial number to each room and wall. Then we indicate at what height this or that element will be placed, we develop color solutions... After that, it is necessary to draw up a detailed estimate, in which we indicate the amount of consumables and facing materials and the cost.


The final stage is the creation of 3D visualization. The most popular programs for creating a design project for a one-room apartment: 3D Studio MAX, Sweet Home 3D, FloorPlan 3D. These are programs with different levels of difficulty. With a lack of experience and a tight repair schedule the best solution will turn to professional designers.

The interior of a modern studio apartment can be compared to a multitool tool. It is just as multi-tasking and functional. Everything here is aimed at visually expanding the space, competent use of the usable area without loss of comfort. After all, there is only about 36 square meters for everything about everything. m.

The hallway is usually used as a mini dressing room. Floor-to-ceiling mirrored doors without visible frames will be appropriate here. If for some reason this is not possible, an interesting idea is to attach a mirror to front door... This technique will lengthen the corridor / hallway. If the wall with the built-in wardrobe is adjacent to the bathroom, then you can donate part of the space for washing machine... As a result, you will get a small niche that will significantly save space.

Sometimes there are quite bold ideas for the interior of a one-room apartment. For example, if the layout allows, you can equip a mini-kitchen in the hallway. This option is suitable for those who mainly eat out.

The design of a bathroom in the interior of a one-room apartment is also aimed at visually expanding the boundaries, since most often this zone has a rather small area. A light palette will come to the rescue - from decoration to plumbing. A good solution would be a mirrored ceiling and a clear glass sink. Shower doors should also be transparent. This will give the room the necessary lightness.


In order not to clutter up the space with various small items, it is necessary to provide for closed storage systems. The external organization and orderliness of the room will also allow you to achieve the effect of airiness. The main decorative element can be a mirror in an original frame. One accent is enough. A sliding door can also become a convenient functional element. Remember that in advance all ideas must be drawn up on paper or in a specialized program.

The kitchen in the studio apartment is combined with the rest of the space. Let's consider the most stylish ideas... We combine the kitchen and the living room, which in turn is separated from the bedroom by a false partition or screen. This technique allows you to turn a one-room apartment into a two-room one. In addition, we have a full-fledged dining area, which can also serve as a place to relax and receive guests.

Another option is not to move the dining area outside the kitchen. Instead, zone the space with a bar and a sofa set with the back to it. A good solution for an area of ​​30 sq. m and less. In addition to a sleeping place and a recreation area, it allows you to equip a small work area. Most often, it is taken out onto the balcony, combined with the room.


The design of the kitchen in a one-room apartment also involves the option of placing the kitchen unit in one line. In this case, each module must be carefully considered. Retractable "carousels" and all kinds of niches with a large number of compartments are used.

The kitchen in a one-room apartment can be separate. This will avoid wall demolition and additional costs. In addition, the main area will be isolated from odors that are an integral part of cooking. In the room, you can place a large sofa in the relaxation area and equip a mini-cabinet.

On a very small area of ​​17 sq. m as a bed, choose a folding sofa, which in the daytime is a seating area. A more spacious quadrature allows you to separate a full sleeping place. There are many zoning techniques that make a bedroom in a studio apartment a secluded and comfortable space.

A practical choice is a double-sided wardrobe that can be used to store clothes and other items. On the one hand, it can be closed with mirrored doors, on the other, it can have open shelves.



Some layouts have a special niche for a double bed. From the side of the hallway, it can be separated by a wardrobe, and it can be fenced off from the living area using a blackout curtain from ceiling to floor. A good solution would be to arrange a podium with boxes for storing bed linen, blankets and pillows.

Competent bedroom design in a one-room apartment largely depends on the correct lighting. If there is only one window in the bedroom, the dividing cabinet should not be high to allow natural light to enter the second part of the room. Another option is to separate the sleeping area using glass sliding doors.

The design of a one-room apartment for a family with a child requires a special approach. The task is complicated by the addition of another large zone, which is divided into several smaller ones. Furniture becomes a particular problem. After all, the question arises: "where to put a crib in a one-room apartment?"

Dividing the room into two zones can be a good solution - a sleeping place for parents with a large folding sofa and a children's area with a furniture set, which includes a bed, a workplace and a small wardrobe for storing things. Of course, a lot depends on the age of the child.


A place for a newborn in a one-room apartment can be equipped in a very small area. You just need to put a cradle and a changing table, and use wall decor in the form of painting, paper crafts and felt as an accent.

To equip a children's corner in your apartment, use bunk headsets. There are very original models, which provide not only a sleeping place, but also a closed play area in the form of architectural niches. Of course, the design of a nursery in a one-room apartment will require a lot of imagination and careful preparation. But thanks to modern furniture and a rich selection of materials, nothing is impossible.

With proper design and planning, a small studio apartment can turn into a stylish and functional home. Numerous design techniques allow even 17 sq. m arrange all the necessary zones. Of course, you can't count on the gym and the library, but the gentleman's set will definitely fit.

There are general rules that it is advisable to adhere to. The interior of a small one-room apartment does not tolerate dark colors. In any case, in large numbers. It is better to take white, pale beige, cream shades as a basis. If you want bright colors, you can make an exception to the rule. One of the rooms, for example the kitchen, is decorated in deep colors - blue, brown, green. But at the same time, the furniture must be necessarily light, preferably white.

Sometimes there are layouts with narrow elongated spaces. The rectangular room is not the best way for furnishing, but this is a solvable problem. A room can be made visually wider using several techniques.

Opposite walls are painted in different shades. For example, in white and light beige. Or one of them is decorated with a photo wallpaper with a perspective. Thanks to this, even a space of 20 sq. m takes on a completely different look. The floor is decorated with a finely patterned carpet. It is also worth considering the correct lighting scenario. Instead of a single pendant lamp, several light sources are used. The window opening is not hung with curtains, but is left as open as possible. Blinds and roman shades are also good. The furniture is used laconic, in light upholstery. Much also depends on the finish.


Renovation of a small one-room apartment, most likely, will not do without redevelopment. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to organically enter all the necessary zones and adapt them to the life scenario of the owners. A studio apartment is most often the most successful solution for a modest square.

First, let's understand the terminology. A smart apartment is a small living space. In fact, this is an updated version of the good old living rooms. The minimum area starts from 18 sq. m. However, there is a significant difference. Smart translated from English means "smart". A smart interior knows how to dispose of every centimeter of usable area.

Equipping a smart apartment is not an easy task. That is why some developers offer ready-made housing. If you want to implement your own project, you need to sit down to a design project or contact professional designers.

It should be noted that smart housing is not at all a budget option... It would seem that the modest dimensions should have a beneficial effect on the overall estimate. After all, you need less finishing materials... This is true, but there is one "but". All furniture should ideally be made to order. Here literally every millimeter counts. Of course, you can find ready-made solutions with the required parameters. However, this is time consuming.

The answer to the question "how to furnish a smart apartment?" will become transforming furniture. The word "smart" also applies to her. One set may include a sofa that converts into a double bed, a small table and a wardrobe with a built-in ironing board.

The kitchen in a smart apartment should be as inconspicuous as possible. For "camouflage" use white fronts from floor to ceiling with doors that open by pressing. It is important not to skimp on fittings, so that it lasts as long as possible. Interesting idea- a mobile table on a rail built into the windowsill. This will not only save 10-15 centimeters, but also provide freedom of maneuver. One way or another, the window sill area must certainly be used as dining table or an additional work surface.

The design of a smart apartment can be compared to shooting a short video, when it is necessary to put in a colossal meaning in a few minutes. However, this is bearing fruit. Space of 15 sq. m turns into a cozy and comfortable house with a unique character. This type of apartment is well suited as a first independent home.

So that the repair of a one-room apartment does not drag on for a long period of time, it is necessary to start with drawing up a detailed estimate. We divide the costs into several groups (select items depending on the type of repair):

  1. repair team;
  2. rough and finishing materials, as well as their delivery and unloading;
  3. plumbing equipment;
  4. lighting;
  5. pieces of furniture;
  6. textiles and decorative elements;
  7. loading and disposal of garbage.

A contingency reserve should also be provided. Do not start renovating a one-room apartment without a full estimate. Otherwise, finishing touches and rescheduling simply cannot be avoided.

Redecoration of a one-room apartment

This is the most affordable way to freshen up your interior. At the same time, even a change in the design of the walls can change the space beyond recognition. The best time for renovation is spring. But you can buy materials already in winter. If you wish, you can cope with this task. on their own... If you need to do renovation work as quickly as possible, and there is not a month or two in stock, it is better to hire a professional construction team.

Redecoration of a one-room apartment often does not provide for leveling the walls. This means that you need to choose the right finishing materials that will hide this flaw. Painting and decorative plaster unsuitable. In this case, thick wallpaper is needed. Non-woven and vinyl types of this material are suitable. The former have a pleasant matte texture and are well suited for the bedroom. The second - they tolerate wet cleaning better, and therefore are applicable in the kitchen and in the corridor / hallway.

You can reanimate the floor with carpet, which can be laid even over the old flooring. Linoleum is also suitable. It is necessary to select a material with a high level of wear resistance. A 31-32 class of operation is suitable.

Overhaul of a one-room apartment

Overhaul of a one-room apartment consists of the following stages:

  1. development of project design and budgeting;
  2. purchase of rough and finishing materials, tools;
  3. installation of plumbing equipment, radiators, electrical wiring;
  4. replacement / installation of windows and doors;
  5. bathroom finishing;
  6. finishing the kitchen;
  7. decoration of the hallway and bedroom;
  8. loading and disposal of garbage.

Most of these steps will require the help of a professional construction team. You need to choose a team that has a leader. This will greatly facilitate the control process. A convenient, but not cheap option is to order a complete design project with a field supervision service.

Dismantling work can be done on your own. This will cut your budget a little. But you should not save on wiring and materials.

Repair of a one-room apartment with a niche

Renovation of a one-room apartment with a niche provides for an emphasis on space zoning with finishing materials. Often, a niche is converted into a sleeping area, visually separating it with wall decoration or flooring. Sometimes the construction of additional architectural structures is required - a podium, false partitions and others.

Another option is to arrange a work area in a niche. An interesting solution can be a two-level podium, in the lower part of which there is a built-in pull-out bed. This trick is especially good for small spaces.

Repair of a one-room apartment in a new building

Most often, developers transfer living space to the owners in the following configuration: floor screed, plumbing wiring, final plastering of walls. Windows and radiators can also be installed. The rest of the work will have to be done independently. Repair of a one-room apartment in a new building has exactly the same stages as described above. But special attention must be paid to additional sound insulation. In the future, this will significantly increase the level of comfort of living in the new house.


Styles of a one-room apartment

Choosing the style of a one-room apartment is an extremely important and incredibly exciting stage. The character and mood of the future interior depends on it. But there are so many directions, how can you stop at one and only one? Play explorer. View visualizations and photos of interiors, and save the ones you like. After analyzing the selection for general details, you can understand which style is best for you.

The design of a one-room apartment is primarily selected based on personal preferences and the possibility of maximum adaptation to the habits and scenario of life. Let's consider the most popular options according to the scheme: main features, pros, cons.

To understand what it is - a one-room apartment in the Scandinavian style, it is necessary to highlight the main features of this direction. These include:

  1. dominant white color in tandem with rich color accents and pastel colors;
  2. natural materials in decoration, decor and textiles;
  3. furniture and free space in a percentage ratio of 50 to 50;
  4. practical furniture;
  5. abundance of natural light.

Pros: lightness of space; simple grace combined with practicality; does not require the use of expensive materials.

Cons: white requires extremely careful use and careful cleaning; it is necessary to consider a large number of "invisible" storage systems; it creates a feeling of coziness in warm seasons, but in winter its atmosphere can seem a little cool.

One-room loft-style apartment has a masculine character. This is due to the following characteristic features of this direction:

  1. rough finish (most common materials: concrete, brick, metal);
  2. the minimum amount of decor;
  3. simple and practical furniture;
  4. maximum open space.



Pros: a feeling of psychological relief due to the laconicism of the interior; ease of repair; cleaning does not take much time.

Cons: the integrity of the interior, which can be easily destroyed by new things or the decor you like; the need for original design items that can cost a pretty penny; the need to equip hidden storage systems.

A one-room apartment in the style of minimalism will suit those who are tired of overloaded interiors, massive furniture of bright colors. The main features of the direction:

  1. lack of decorative elements;
  2. monochrome palette;
  3. furniture of laconic forms;
  4. hidden light sources.


Pros: free layout is ideal for creating any design project; an abundance of natural light; simple and functional space.

Cons: the atmosphere of the loft can hardly be called warm and homely; requires large financial costs; fits hard into a small area.

The main task is to make the most of every centimeter of the area. For these purposes, transforming furniture is well suited. Coffee table, which with the help of lifting mechanisms turns into a dining room. Wardrobe bed with small folding table... There are many options on the market. The main thing is to choose models with high-quality fittings that will ensure a long service life.

Such furniture also has a significant drawback in the form of high cost. More affordable standard options. A folding sofa may well have several functional loads - a sleeping place at night and relaxation areas in the daytime. If space permits, it is better to give preference to a double bed with storage boxes at the bottom.


Furniture for a one-room apartment should be multifunctional. Since it often serves as a zoning tool. It is selected individually, based on the style of the interior and for specific needs.

Cabinets, if possible, are built into a niche or models with glass doors are chosen. Don't forget about decorative elements. For small apartments, mirrors in unusual frames and vases with glossy textures are well suited. In a more spacious square, you can enter a geometrically verified composition of your favorite photos, paintings and even volumetric sculptures made of paper.

A studio apartment is associated with a lack of space. In economy-class residential buildings, the minimum living area of ​​such apartments is 14 square meters. In elite new buildings, this figure has been at least doubled. However, in a one-room apartment, furnishing is always difficult. But also in small apartment it can be convenient and psychologically comfortable for each family member if the interior is properly organized. Let's find out how to correctly arrange all the necessary household items.

The most important thing when furnishing a one-room apartment with a minimum area (28 square meters) is to take into account the number of residents in a given area, their age, tastes, and preferences.

The standard principles for the practical and aesthetic organization of the environment are as follows:

  • Competent use of space - creating the most open area by combining the living area with the kitchen, hallway. Redevelopment - elimination of partitions between residential and utility rooms, combination of furniture and equipment that are similar in functionality in one space; arrangement of internal partitions, windows, openings, arches, podiums; elimination of doors, their replacement with sliding doors or changing the direction of their opening; vertical organization of the interior (available even with a standard ceiling height of 260 - 270 cm!);
  • Functional furniture - the use of non-standard, folding furniture that can be built into wall niches, alcoves, other places (this can be bought in a store or made to order), a bed with a lifting mechanism, a bed that transforms into a wall with a sofa, shelves and a wardrobe; sofa bed, folding sofa, couch, sofa bed, folding sofa, couch. The use of mobile pieces of furniture - transformers: folding chairs, a sliding table, hanging fabric wardrobes, screens on wheels;
  • Visual effects of enlarging the room - the active use of mirrors, mirror surfaces, the correct choice of color and pattern of wallpaper, the use of suitable photo wallpaper, impeccable lighting.

It is important to choose in a small apartment light walls, ceiling, floor, matching the color of the furniture. The level of housing comfort directly depends on the chosen method of interior redevelopment. The smallest change of internal partitions can lead to the desired result.

Accommodation rules

Like any responsible business, the choice and arrangement of furniture does not tolerate fuss. You can't be led by your desires and buy "this wonderful bed" or "adorable wardrobe" just because you like them. Furniture is an important part of the interior; you need to choose it based on the technical capabilities of the room. Otherwise, all this beauty will turn into an absurd heap. But you need a comfortable place to live, not a warehouse? Therefore, before furnishing a one-room apartment with furniture, try to assess the possibilities of the premises, ways of redeveloping it, if necessary:

  1. Do not rush to bring in household items and decor if the room is empty, or take them out if you are thinking about reorganizing the space;
  2. Take measurements of the room, hallway, kitchen, make a plan of the apartment on paper or using a graphic computer program in which interior designers work;
  3. Create several furniture options by hand in a prepared plan or on a computer;
  4. Analyze photographs of the furnishings of an apartment similar to yours. This will help you navigate the organization of space, choose suitable interior solutions;
  5. Design tips for zoning space will be helpful. In this case, in the middle of each zone, the main pieces of furniture are placed in the odnushka, and additional pieces of furniture are placed around them;
  6. Opt for compact furniture that does not clutter up the space;
  7. If a lot of furniture is needed, then it is better to put it closer to each other so that it is convenient to move around the apartment;
  8. Reflect all your preferences and ways of moving around the housing in the plan.

If you are not the only inhabitant of the apartment, agree with other family members on several options for plans, jointly approve the most successful one.

Hall

A one-room apartment is a living room, a bedroom and an office at once, so we only bring in the furniture that is necessary and not bulky, which has the maximum functionality. If you have an apartment built during the reign of Khrushchev at your disposal, the first step towards furnishing the hall will be to abandon the arrangement of furniture along the walls. This likens a narrow rectangular room to a corridor or a carriage, which cannot be called a cozy nest.

Modern design solutions are based on a square shape, since it is most convenient for interior design. What kind of furniture is needed and how should it be arranged in a one-room Khrushchev as well?

Closet

We give priority to the coupe (one of the doors or all can be mirrored):

  • First, it is roomy;
  • Secondly, it can serve to highlight two zones, if you position it with its end part against the wall. In this case, it visually ceases to be perceived as a traditional cabinet, standing along the wall;
  • Thirdly, it is high, the upper shelves will replace the mezzanine.

Chest of drawers, bedside tables

We choose tall and narrow ones to lighten the space as much as possible.

Bed

For a good rest, you need a comfortable sleeping place. But you won't be able to afford the royal bed. The options for odnushki are as follows:

  • A folding sofa, an important detail of which is the presence of storage boxes;
  • You can do without this item if you make a bedroom on the windowsill. You will need to alter the window sill to a wide, long one, but this option will save space;
  • Another option is to create a berth by the window on the podium, inside which there are many compartments for storing things;
  • A practical solution - a bed on the upper tier, a wardrobe, a work area, a computer desk, a chest of drawers, shelves, a pull-out bed on the lower tier - all in one. This mega-functional invention is real! It is ideal for small-sized rooms even when a baby appears and the question arises of how to arrange furniture in a one-room apartment with a child and make a children's area.

Tables and shelves

Books, documents, needles, threads, all kinds of small household items should always be in order, at hand, in a certain place, so that it is convenient to get them without spending a lot of time searching (you can use dividers, sign boxes, boxes, if they are opaque ). It is optimal to use for this:

  • Open wall shelves different lengths, where you can put decor items, place a photo;
  • Open shelves that serve as a partition at the same time;
  • Closed shelves, interior boxes and baskets;
  • Built-in headsets that, when opened, serve as a desk for work, niches and shelves for storing various items.

When opting for built-in furniture, pay attention to the following details:

  • Its color should not contrast with the color of the walls, so as not to visually reduce the area of ​​the room;
  • Try to place such transforming headsets not over the sleeping place, because these are still the attributes of the working area.

Armchairs and poufs

We'll have to abandon massive armchairs, replacing them with mobile folding chairs.

Lighting

Adequate lighting levels play an important role in one-room apartments. It is preferable not to use oversized floor lamps and other massive light sources. It is best to make a point ceiling lighting, purchase wall sconces, table lamps in the style of minimalism.

Kitchen

Refrigerator, stove, sink, cutting table, cupboards for dishes, products, spices, dryer, microwave oven, food processor - this is not a complete list of kitchen attributes. All of them should fit on a minimum of 6-8 square meters, while not obstructing your movement around the room and ease of use: opening the oven, you should not think about how not to touch the refrigerator.

Kitchen furniture should be ergonomic and functional. The dimensions of the kitchen set are minimal. Better to do individual project, allowing you to rationally use the corner space of the kitchen.

Combining a kitchen and a room is one of the common solutions to the problem with a lack of space if a family of three lives in an apartment. At the same time, the broken wall between the two rooms is partially restored due to the installation of kitchen floor cabinets, which are an extension of the headset, with a countertop, which may well serve as a place for eating, and as a bar counter. Small kitchens are often associated with a lack of dining table space for the whole family to gather. Therefore, the dining area becomes necessary and the studio apartment popular.

Hallway and corridor

The hallway in the apartment is a visiting card. The general perception of the interior also depends on its design. The layout of the hallways in different apartments is different, so ideas working on the furnishings of a square hallway will be completely inappropriate in a narrow and long one. Estimate the size of the hallway, lighting, ceiling heights.

If the hallway is small (it is a corridor), they act in two ways:

  • They draw up it according to the accepted design rules;
  • They combine an entrance hall with an adjoining room - a kitchen or a living room.

In the first case (especially when it comes to Khrushchev), you will have to abandon a large cabinet, instead use:

  • A sliding wardrobe with mirrored doors will not only visually increase the space, but also solve the problem with the mirror in the hallway. In such a closet there is only enough space for seasonal outerwear (middle tier), shoes (lower tier), accessories (upper tier), everything irrelevant is stored in the room. If possible, you should put an ottoman for the convenience of putting on / taking off shoes, place a shelf or a hook for a shoe spoon next to it;
  • Modular furniture is an excellent solution for any, especially small hallways .. No bulky wardrobes, only interesting constructive suggestions. Such a kit is assembled to order and will certainly meet all your requirements.

In the second case, the wall between the hallway and the room or kitchen is eliminated, replaced by an arch or other architectural solution. The hallway becomes part of another space and should stylistically correspond to it.

Accommodation features depending on the size of the apartment

A one-room apartment, regardless of its size, is a universal territory. The main features of the furnishings here will be order and organization, the multifunctionality of objects. Remember, large furniture is the focal point of the composition. But the number of meters affects the distribution of furniture, its design solution.

In a small room without a balcony, it is better to abandon bulky furniture, preferring modular furniture. Such a room should be equipped in a minimalist style so that each item stands in its place. Focus on the essentials, actively use the wall, corner space, the space under the windowsill. Preferred:

  • A sleeping place that can be easily transformed into a guest place during the day;
  • A table that can be used as a working, toilet place;
  • Sliding wardrobe or built-in wardrobe;
  • Suspended, hanging shelves, shelves, mezzanines - an excellent storage option, an interesting way to make a room stylish;
  • Corner furniture always looks original, does not clutter up the space, on the contrary, makes it smoother.

If the apartment has a balcony or loggia, it is reasonable to make him / her part of the living space: a workplace, a recreation area can be located here.

Zoning

How to arrange furniture in an apartment with a living area of ​​no more than 18 square meters? The answer is obvious - to zone the space. Depending on the composition of the family, the room requires zones such as:

  • Guest;
  • Working;
  • Sleeping;
  • Children's (the arrangement of this zone depends on the age of the child and should change over time: for a newborn and a preschooler - one organization of a children's corner, and for a schoolchild and a student - a full-fledged workplace).

For the children's area, you need to choose the warmest and most illuminated place! A loft bed with a workplace will be an excellent alternative to a children's room.

If parents are given non-isolated space, they should consider placing in the walk-through room so as to preserve personal space.

The allocation of functional areas can be carried out using:

  • Shelving;
  • Shirm;
  • Canopies;
  • Sliding partitions;
  • Suspended partitions;
  • False wall;
  • Podiums;
  • Plasterboard partitions-shelves;
  • The inclusion of a balcony in the space of the room;
  • Sleeping facilities above the guest area;
  • Arrangement of a sleeping / work / children's place on the "second floor" if you have high ceilings.

Frequent mistakes

Not everyone can afford to invite a specialist for the correct arrangement of furniture in a one-room apartment. Not everyone is given a sense of proportion and style. Not everyone has enough knowledge, patience and time to create a competent interior. That is why the planning results are disappointing. To prevent this from happening, we will consider the most common mistakes and try to avoid them by furnishing a one-room apartment:

  1. A illogical project - even in the smallest one-room apartment there should be a place for an entrance hall, a guest area and personal space. But why combine a kitchen and a room if one person lives in the apartment? And if there are several inhabitants, you just need to zone the room;
  2. Over-zoning is a standard option for one person or a couple - two zones in the room. Large quantity partitions without an appropriate number of residents will make living uncomfortable;
  3. Refusal of a full-fledged place to sleep.
  4. Non-mobile interior - when there are not enough meters in a one-room apartment, it is impossible to place stationary furniture everywhere. Think constructively;
  5. Transformers are not in place - if everything is being transformed, assembled, then this space is needed for something. If you don't need it for anything, then you can do without transformers and put, for example, a normal bed;
  6. An ill-conceived storage system - why are drawers and dressers needed if there is a built-in headset, a podium or a wall niche ?;
  7. Unsuccessful eclecticism, or in what style the room - you cannot overload one room with a combination different styles, more than three colors, a variety of textures and light sources. The space should be uniform.
  8. Accumulation of unnecessary things and objects - get rid of unnecessary things in time, so as not to turn your home into a pantry, but yourself into a Box.

Let it be one-room and small, but this is your apartment. What it will be depends on you!
