Interior design, layout and zoning of a studio apartment. Zoning of a one-room apartment Design of a 1-room apartment with zoning

IN modern world apartments with a combined interior space is not a new thing. Naturally, firstly, it is convenient, and secondly, it is stylish. To create a design for a small studio apartment in such a way that the guests will take their breath away is our main task for today. Let's plunge into the maelstrom of creative design solutions together!

Design of a small studio apartment 18 sq. m.

Take a close look at these images:

Can you believe that this apartment is only 18 square meters? That's the same. How did the designers achieve the effect of spaciousness in a seemingly cramped room?

Let's figure it out.

  • Light

In this case, the design of a rectangular small apartment seems very harmonious due to the abundant daylight. However, if your small size is in shady side this does not mean that such an effect cannot be achieved artificially. How exactly? Let's find out further.

  • Color palette

The walls are made in an impeccable snow-white tone. This color literally absorbs the lighting and makes the apartment visually more spacious. Plus, light plain walls remove the accent from the corners, and this is very appropriate here.

  • contrasts

The furniture, unlike the walls, is made in dark chocolate shades. Reception of contrast will decorate any cramped room. Try it too.

  • straight lines

A perfectionist's paradise, there's no other way to say it. No clutter, small details and chaos! Clear geometric lines and sharp corners visually turn the mini-apartment into a very cozy home.

  • Glossy surfaces

Pay attention to the ceiling. No pretentious stucco and bulky chandeliers. Only stretch glossy ceiling with concise light bulbs "eyes". Here is the whole secret for you high ceilings.

Design of a small studio apartment 20 sq. m.

And this apartment is simply a masterpiece of ergonomics! See how correctly the designers solved the problem of small footage. In 20 square meters they managed to fit an entrance hall, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and even a separate bedroom! How did they do it? See for yourself.

  • Second floor

If your apartment has high enough ceilings, make it a two-level one! This is extremely fashion trend recent seasons. Now it is completely unnecessary to pay so much attention to bulky canopy beds. A laconic loggia with a mattress, a night light and shelves for storing things is the key to success!

  • Mirror partition

You can't do without a mirror in an apartment. And if it does not just hang on the wall, but serves front door in the bathroom?

Sliding mirror design from floor to ceiling can replace bulky walls and visually expand the space of a small space. How do you like this idea?

  • functional niches

Correctly using the recesses in the wall is an important matter. We arranged a niche for a small kitchenette and now, as if you were in a separate room. Great, right?

Design of a small studio apartment 25 sq. m.

Another version of a narrow apartment, which at first looked like a corridor, and only with the help of wise designers turned into a beautiful home.

  • Mirror cabinet at the entrance

Very good decision for narrow, cramped hallways. About magic mirror surfaces you have already heard, and, as you can see, this technique is rightfully considered very effective.

  • Minimalism in decor

Designers tried not to overload the space with unnecessary elements. The color palette in white, pleasant orange and base light wood do the trick.

  • Hidden backlight

Pay attention to the ceiling in the recreation area. Under hinged drywall construction local lighting lamps are installed. This technique visually expands the walls and gives the apartment a cozy atmosphere.

  • tinted baffle

Great zoning. Frosted glass does not take up much space and at the same time separates the living room and kitchen areas.

Design of a small studio apartment 30 sq. m.

And this cute apartment impresses with its unusual atmosphere! Just look, the kitchen surface is turned to face the aisle, and in the niche behind it there is a podium with a separate bedroom! Unusual, right?

And a couple of other delights of this design:

  • Living room-study-dining room

In the sixteen-meter space of the living room, the designer managed to combine many different functional areas. Here you have a desktop, and a dining place and a cozy sofa for relaxing.

  • Lighting

Please note that the apartment itself is not bright enough. However, the designers placed hanging rotary lamps around the perimeter of the apartment. This will help illuminate dark corners and visually increase the footage.

  • Ergonomic kitchen

Although the secluded kitchenette is a walk-through, two small surfaces are turned towards each other so that the design seems to be absolutely harmonious and convenient.

Gone are the days when people lived in spacious houses with offices, dining rooms, children's rooms and "servants" rooms. A large number of couples with children live long years in one-room apartments. The child grows up, his brothers and sisters are born, and living conditions often remain the same. The only way is to competently equip the interior and design one room apartment.

Difficulties of zoning a one-room apartment for a family with a child

If it is possible to make a major restructuring of the apartment with the allocation of micro-rooms for parents and the child, then this is fine. But often it is impossible to obtain permission for redevelopment, or as a result, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bnooks and crannies will turn out to be so meager that it will nullify all efforts.

Important: you need to take care of the legality of any redevelopment. It is especially difficult, almost impossible, to obtain permission to transfer the so-called "wet zone" - bathroom and kitchen communications, as well as the removal of batteries to the loggia.

The main difficulty is little room for maneuver, that is, there is little space for a good division of the apartment into zones. A child or children need light, parents need air and they want a night of solitude. What if there are two or more children?

Each family member not only has the right to sleeping place but also their passions. If mom loves to sew, then you need a place for sewing machine, a cabinet with flaps and buttons and a table for cutting. If dad is a motorcyclist, then you will need a cabinet for parts and tools. Often you need an office for work. The child also needs a lot, depending on his age. All this taken together turns our task into a completely unsolvable quest.

Workbench in the apartment - a place for dad's hobbies

A one-room apartment has mandatory areas: a kitchen, a bathroom, an entrance hall, a loggia. And if due to the addition of a hallway and a loggia it is possible to increase the area, then due to the bathroom it is impossible. In the case of the kitchen, the situation is a little softer: you can remove the partition between the kitchen and the common area, thereby making the room more spacious and brighter.

Layout options

There can be a huge number of planning options, it is impossible to take them into account, because everything depends on baseline, addictions of parents and their financial possibilities. We can focus on several varieties of planning, depending on the age and number of children.

Planning for an infant

This simplifies the task a little - for a while, of course. The baby only needs a small bed, a wardrobe and a changing table. The arena can also be placed on the common territory.

Important! In the area where the "nursery" for the baby is located, there should be daylight, good ventilation (natural is also better) and a source of heat.

If the windows are airtight, it is better to place a crib or playpen directly under the window - so that the sun hits the baby. In addition, it is advisable to fence off the “nursery” from the parent area with a curtain that does not interfere with ventilation, or build something like a canopy or canopy over the crib - but with caution for the same reason. Because the child needs to sleep often, especially late at night when the artificial lighting, and child psychologists insist on darkness and silence during a baby's nighttime sleep.


Place for a baby cot according to the German designer

Many parents prefer to be as close to their baby as possible at night. In this case, such hard zoning is not needed. It's also important to make the room as safe and comfortable as possible for crawling and exploring, especially once your little one is on his feet. It is equally important to lay a soft carpet in the children's area for crawling and sitting the baby.

The diagram and photographs show that in the future the changing table and the crib will give way to a transforming bed for a preschooler

If you have a preschool child

For a preschooler, the rules are essentially the same. There is a soft carpet for games. The playpen disappears, the crib gives way to a transforming crib (they are in a large number of varieties in IKEA), so that your child will have enough length for several years. The changing table is replaced by a small table and a chair for children's creativity.


Table-desk for a preschooler in the style of "contemporary"

Important! Above each place for games and activities, a separate light source is needed so that the baby does not spoil the eyes.

You can try to find a place for a rack or a locker where toys will fit. You can already install a small TV for a preschooler or give him a laptop for the first computer lessons and watching cartoons and movies. Below is the transformation plan, and in the photo gallery you will see this project by designer Mila Mijanovic in color.

on the plan one-room apartment for three with a preschooler, a transforming bed is clearly visible through a low wall from the parent sofa

Your child went to school

A schoolchild needs not only a bed, but also a wardrobe for things, and instead of a table - a full-fledged ergonomic desk with the same chair to avoid curvature of the spine from long studies, and instead of shelves for toys - a wardrobe for toys, textbooks, personal books and stationery. This makes the task incredibly difficult.


Schoolchildren's corner with a desk and bookcase

It is easier to combine all the required items in one large transformer. Or provide a podium with a pull-out bed, on which there will be a table, an armchair and cabinets with shelves.


All fit on the podium necessary items environment for the student

In addition, at little man there are also hobbies. And if, for example, he is engaged in painting, then an easel should fit there, and if he is a cyclist, then there is a place for details, a pump, and equipment. It is very important full lighting at several points, required table lamp and a sconce over the bed so that the child can read and study comfortably and lightly.

Important: the student needs natural lighting in the workplace! Desk should be placed under a window, if possible, so that natural light fell directly or slightly to the left - if your child is right-handed.

On the scheme of a one-room apartment with preserved partitions, a place for a student with transformer furniture is fenced off with a curtain

Layout for a high school student

There is little that changes, except for the size of the bed. And, perhaps, your grown child will want to put an acoustic system in his zone, or, perhaps, he will want to separate from you no longer with a curtain, but with a plasterboard partition-wall.

If you have two children

We will not consider the extreme case - several children in a odnushka; Let's say there are two of them. Still, the task becomes more difficult. Unless it will be possible to get by with one closet and one TV. Everything else must be managed to place in duplicate. It is good if the children are close in age. And if one is a baby and the other is a high school student, you will have to use all your ingenuity and make the most of transforming furniture, "lofts", podiums and bunk beds.

A private question: how to fence off the children's area?

There are, in fact, two options in a one-room apartment. Either use the existing walls separating the room from the kitchen, hallway, bathroom and loggia, or, with permission received, selectively demolish them and zone the room in other ways.


Scheme of a one-room apartment before and after the demolition of partitions while maintaining the hallway and the "wet zone"

Having connected during the redevelopment of the premises, we often get a large space, much more comfortable than two small ones. A thirty-meter room is always and definitely better than two 15-meter rooms. If you don't like solitude closed door, and you prefer to be surrounded by household members all the time, then such a layout will suit you more than numerous walls and doors. But it is better for children to allocate a completely separate zone: "order" will not spill over into your territory. When designing such an apartment, we can create a much more modern and advanced interior than for two separate rooms, due to larger area and the ability to construct environments from more puzzles.


Competent zoning: every centimeter of space is used

There are a lot of ways to zone your apartment. If not all, then most of the problems are solved by a competent approach to business. Over a large area, zoning is a fairly easy task. But even in not big room with an area of ​​16-18 m 2 big amount required zones, you can create a cozy and comfortable interior.

Important! It is necessary to try as much as possible not to infringe on the habits of any of the inhabitants. It is not enough to separate one zone from another - it is important that they look stylistically as a single whole, but it is clear that this is the territory of different family members.

Zoning can be visual - created with color, carpets, furniture - and real, created with drywall partitions, curtains, sliding doors, screens or complex room perimeter.

Furniture arrangement

You can separate the children's area with furniture. It can be a wardrobe, a bookcase, a closed or through shelving, a chest of drawers or a wall of a transforming children's bed. This is, of course, the easiest, most practical and reversible (furniture can always be moved around) way to divide a room. But when using massive furniture, the room can become visually cluttered, and the furniture will interfere with the normal lighting of all parts of the room. Therefore, it is better to use through racks or low chests of drawers.

Separation of the children's area with a screen

A wonderful old invention - a movable folding screen that covers and protects. The screen can be a real work of art and antiques. You can hear how your child breathes at night in a dream, and whether he does homework during the day.

Zoning using a sliding panel (compartment doors)

It moves along the guide rails; it can be wooden, plastic, glass - transparent, matte, with a pattern; can take shape different ways depending on the design. The transparent panel does not affect the lighting, but it is still good to combine with curtains.

Building a drywall partition

Between the children's and the common areas, a real plasterboard partition is sometimes built. It often looks more comfortable than lighter structures, although it is not placed on the entire width of the room. You can hang pictures, rugs and lamps on it. Such a partition is lightweight, and despite the fact that it is very similar to a real wall, you do not need special permission to install it. But it visually makes the room heavier and blocks the lighting. To avoid this, you can make a “window” in it or build it low.

Application of curtains

This is the easiest of all options, but it can become a real decoration of the room when correct selection material and method of fastening curtains. Curtains allow air to pass through and, with proper density, perfectly isolate from views and light.

The choice of style and design for the design of your apartment

In a small space, the choice of design style becomes especially important. How less room, the simpler and without frills it should be designed. But a combination of two styles is allowed - for the general (adult) and children's zones. They, differing from each other, provide additional accents and help to zone the territory. The main condition is that the styles must be combined with each other, in a single territory they are doomed to interpenetration. It is important that they do not conflict with each other. The chosen design should ideally suit the apartment itself, the house, the district - and the owners, their rhythm of life and habits, the habits of their children.

Important! In a small space, you can not recklessly apply bright styles with catchy decor, there is a danger of overdoing it or showing bad taste. From the brightness in the cramped quickly and very tired.

For our case, the styles of "eco", hi-tech, minimalism, "contemporary" are suitable. They are perfectly combined with each other. You can introduce into the design and individual details of the bright styles of "boho", "ethno", art deco, but there should be very few of them.

Photo gallery: examples of different styles in the design of a one-room apartment with a child

For our hypothetical apartment, we chose the contemporary style combined with elements of other styles. Now, designers use this term to denote a laconic style that does not have pronounced features that belong to past historical times. The “contemporary” style is good because there are a lot of its manifestations, and you can apply it in two varieties: bright and elegant for the “children's” zone and noble and restrained for the “adult”. With the help of these two incarnations, the necessary accents are placed.


Elegant bright interior in the style of "contemporary"

The peculiarity of this style is its suitability for application in any aspect of the interior. Novelty, freedom of expression, lack of a pronounced style, mass character, convenience, comfort, accessibility, proportionality, ease of construction and interchangeability of parts - these are the features of the "contemporary" style. That's why he became so popular.

Important! When creating a modern appearance of your house or apartment in the style of "contemporary", remember that the main rule is "the less, the better." Feel free to bet on clean and straight lines. Forget lively floral prints on wallpaper, ruffles and fringes on curtains, furniture with excessive carvings.

In the foreground in the choice of materials - their durability, functionality and environmental friendliness, this is due to the ideology of the "contemporary" style. Therefore, most of the materials for the basis of such a design are artificial: metal, plastic, concrete, glass, porcelain stoneware, fake diamond and recycled wood (chipboard, MDF, laminate, etc.). So that the interior does not look cold and sterile, you can use as accents natural materials: wood, wood veneer, a natural stone. It is possible with caution - after all, the room is small - to introduce "live" details: flowers in pots or interior trees.

Design of "children's" and "adult" zones in the style of "contemporary"

The floor, as a rule, has a single solution for the entire room. For the floor in this design style apply artificial materials- laminate, tile, porcelain stoneware, vinyl. In the "children's" zone, you can make a separate warm floor, or raise it to the podium.


Podium for a child decorated with themes the same laminate

The walls are often painted and do not have a pattern. But in the "children's" zone, you can decorate the walls with funny stickers. The contemporary style also allows for a geometric print - a strip, a cage. Chrome accents allowed metal parts and the use of glass or mirror surfaces as a way to visually "open up" small spaces.


Decals on the wall in the area for two children

For furniture, more often artificial materials are chosen: plastic, MDF and chipboard, metal, glass, artificial stone. Sometimes natural wood or veneer is also used. The main difference between furniture in this style suits us perfectly. This is functionality and love for transforming objects.


Transforming bed for parents

Lighting in a laconic "contemporary" carries a huge functional load. It helps to zone the territory, highlights the levels of illumination, creates color effects. Lighting design can be anything - from minimalist lamps to complex lamps, as if coming from other design styles. There is only one rule: there should be many of them.


Lamps "ethno" in african style

In textiles, the “contemporary” is characterized by a play of textures: wool, linen, jute with expressive weaves and a bright pattern will be very appropriate. Color and quality of bedding and kitchen towels is also an important point. For visual "warming" of cold floors made of porcelain stoneware or laminate, carpets are used, more often with geometric pattern. They not only warm the feet, but also reduce the uncomfortable echoes of the room.

When you have only one room at your disposal, you involuntarily forget about aesthetics, occupying your head with solving primary tasks: where to put a double bed, how many square meters to allocate for the living room and where in all this chaos to find space for storage? Not to mention free movement. In general, zoning a one-room apartment is not an easy job. The good news is that you don't need to "reinvent the wheel" - just get ideas from our article!

Basic zoning methods

Owners of one-room apartments can be proud of their housing, as open space, like studio apartments, is very popular today. In them, the number of partitions is kept to a minimum, while the emphasis is on space and freedom.

But in order to harmoniously organize the interior, it is necessary to resort to zoning. This is a kind of magic wand in the world of design, which allows you to divide the room into visible living areas, while maintaining its functionality. To do this, you can use anything: from fabric to furniture.

Screens

Traditionally, ladies hid behind screens to change their outfit and maintain their dignity. For a long time, this element was forgotten - either because even in the smallest apartment you can find a place to change clothes, or because of the variability of morals. But in vain, because this is the simplest version of the partition.

Screens are ideal for those cases when you need to divide the space into two squares. Moreover, they are mobile, do not require complex installation, do not take up much space when assembled. You can purchase products that fit into any style, hide from prying eyes part of the room or create light outlines, decorating the interior.

Curtains and curtains

To avoid a clear division of the room into zones, you can use curtains. They are best suited for enclosing the bedroom, creating an intimate, cozy environment promoting sound sleep.

However, the effect depends on the material. For example, light tulle will only visually separate the area from the rest of the room, but will give it a feeling of airiness. More massive curtains will do an excellent job of zoning, but for small spaces it is better to give preference to light-colored textiles.

You can install a curtain-partition on a regular cornice inside the room or create a design like holders for canopies.

Drywall partitions

You can also visually zone a one-room apartment with the help of plasterboard partitions. It is problematic to remove them if necessary, such as, for example, a mobile screen, but in appearance you cannot distinguish them from a main wall.

Drywall construction is cheap, lightweight, easy to install and has good sound insulation. It can be flat, rounded, arched, helping to create unique design. Depending on the needs of space, it is made bright accent in the interior or an inconspicuous part of the wall, which in any case will perfectly cope with the mission of zoning.

Shelving and cabinets

We are used to placing bookcases and shelving along the wall, thus "taking" a huge part of the room. To save space and divide it into two zones, it is enough to place such furniture perpendicular to the wall.

For this, cabinets with through shelves are more suitable, but in the case of closed design- the back side can be made a mirror or used as slate board coated with special paint. Items that combine several functions at once - modern solution not only for small apartments, but also for spacious rooms.

catwalks

A small podium is another great way to zone a studio apartment. Holders of high ceilings can place a living room, dining room or study on it. But with low ceilings, you can only afford a bedroom, which involves minimal movement.

Such a hill can serve as additional storage space, thanks to drawers. For very high podiums, steps are recommended. The advantage of podiums is that they do not take up extra space and help to highlight some area.

Sliding partitions

Created on the principle of sliding doors, such partitions allow you to completely separate the area or make it open. Modern products in open form occupy a minimum of space, and thanks to different materials help create the right atmosphere.

For example, if there are no windows in the resulting area, it is better to choose a translucent surface that provides privacy, but allows some light to pass through. Ideally, this solution will fit into the Japanese style or minimalism.

A one-room apartment is a solution not only for bachelors. Here you can comfortably accommodate and married couple with a child, if you choose suitable option zoning.

For small child you need to choose the warmest and brightest part of the room, which over time can be expanded or modified.

To be able to monitor the safety of the child, but at the same time giving him personal space, you can use a regular screen, curtain or sliding partition.

Children of any age will like children's on the catwalk, and the higher, the better. To do this, you can purchase bunk furniture. Transforming structures with a table crossing two zones will help control the child's activities.

You can visually separate the nursery from the living room in a one-room apartment with the help of flowers. Often, children are greedy for everything bright and cheerful, so children's Corner will be easy to distinguish from the rest. You just need to make sure that the shades in the interior are combined.

For such a typical zoning option any will do type of barriers. You need to build on the features of the layout, design and the desired effect.

In studio apartments square shape it is customary to allocate the bedroom area with dense partitions, which practically create a feeling private room. This can be achieved by combining different types. For example, shelving on one side and curtains on the other.

Zoning ideas for a 1-room apartment - photo

Nothing better illustrates theoretical material, as implemented projects of one-room apartments, in which the principles of zoning are involved. By studying them, you can learn for yourself interesting ideas and verify the effectiveness of different solutions.

1. Wooden aesthetics in Moscow

Designers from the Welcome Studio in the Wood & Stone project managed to combine two opposite properties - intimacy and openness. Typical odnushka 49 sq.m. turned into a proportional space, divided into convenient squares. The apartment includes the following areas from the mandatory "set for comfortable life»: bedroom, office, living room and kitchen with a small dining area.

Zoning is carried out using wooden partitions, the design of which resembles blinds. They transmit light and are used everywhere, creating a holistic image, inseparable from the overall interior. Natural finishing materials create a light atmosphere in the home.

Housing of this type can hardly be called a dream apartment. small size and low ceilings only complicate the redevelopment, limiting the choice of "tools". But the designer Alena Ganko was able to comfortably organize these apartments.

The initial layout required the dismantling of several walls, after which a functional zoning structure was placed between the bedroom and the hallway. It is both a niche for books, a wardrobe, and also separates the recreation area, making it as compact and comfortable as possible.

Located in the same space as the living room, the kitchen is visually separated by a narrow dining table. The neutral color scheme of the finishes is the perfect backdrop for bright pieces of furniture.

3. Bright apartment-vest

Designer Marcel Kadyrov turned this walk-through long apartment into a stylish studio.

It is difficult to design such an interior without resorting to zoning. After all, even in bachelor housing there should be comfortable boundaries.

In the center of the space are two closets, forming a small walk-in closet. She, in addition to the main purpose, helps to share the hallway with residential areas. For the same purpose, several pipes with shelves were installed between the sofa and the bed - a rack of an unusual design.

That is, in one large room there can be a sleeping place, a study and a children's corner.

Zoning is not only fashionable, but also a practical technique. If you are not a happy owner of an apartment with an enviable number of squares, in this case, dividing is the only way out. But even if you are not deprived of space, in this way you can give a very original and stylish look.

It should be noted that zoning small apartment involves the use of effects that allow you to make the room visually several times larger. That is why it is worth remembering and following these rules for interior design:

  • Regardless of the number of zones in the room, be sure to use only light shades finishes. This will help you create pleasant living conditions, make the room visually a little larger and lighter. You can make several accent, bright "spots" in the interior;
  • Mirrors. Several mirrors in one room also have a positive effect on the visual perception of the room. You can choose floor wall options accommodation;
  • Furniture must be functional, durable and practical. choose modern models They will help make the room comfortable and cozy.

Don't plan and implement a large number of the main zones in space, this will avoid the most common mistake - a pile of various, often incompatible pieces of furniture and decor with each other. It is important that all the main elements do not contradict each other.

For example, it is worth dividing the room into a playroom and working area, think over a recreation area and, of course, a place for receiving and treating guests. At the same time, try to make game Zone it was clearly visible, but the children did not interfere with the adults' communication during the game.

18 ways of zoning an apartment

When zoning the largest room in the apartment, Special attention it is worth paying attention to the fact that the room is intended not only for receiving guests, but also for the whole family to get together in the evenings and weekends and spend time comfortably.
Therefore, first of all, an attractive design does not play such a big role here.

Options for dividing a room into zones

By dividing the room, you can get an advantage from the practical and aesthetic side, and even if the space small size, then this technique will allow you to favorably emphasize every meter in the room.

Different partitions

Install , for other rooms, both transparent and with a matte effect. Also, “false walls” will help to ennoble the room.
This method was borrowed by designers from the style attic space, and will fit perfectly into the space of creative people, such as writers, artists, etc. you can think of color screens made of glass or plastic, and when sunlight hits them, the space will be incredibly transformed.

With the help of an arch

You can divide the room into zones, and this is perhaps the most classic way. Openings can be either straight or curved, but it is important that the arch echoes in style with both zones.

Multi-level ceilings

And not only with different levels but also the color palette. Smooth transition from dining area to the relaxation area, and it will feel like you are in another room. And the angularity can be smoothed out by making a bulge in the shape of a circle or oval on the ceiling.

Using decorative designs

But this method requires a fairly spacious room. Plus, a fireplace or an aquarium, various lighting or glass inserts can be integrated into drywall constructions. This option is perfect for a large family.

With a podium

In the event that there is no extra space for another spacious closet, will successfully perform this function, besides, with its help you can hide the bed from prying eyes. The main thing is to correctly calculate the height of the pedestal.

using curtains

A great option for a combined living room, they are easy to maintain, comfortable and, if necessary, can be easily hidden or moved apart. They can also, from the prying eyes of guests. And the method can be considered not only the simplest, but also the cheapest.

Different wallpapers in the room

The method is convenient in that it visually divides large room on different zones, and does not require the installation of additional structures. There are two ways - the first, where Bottom part wallpaper darker than the top. And the second - where they are used in order to highlight a certain section of the wall.

Flooring and carpets

Another way to divide space into zones, here you can play with color palette, various materials, texture, especially if you use contrasting colors and rather sharp transitions.
But it is necessary to maintain a balance, and take into account natural and artificial lighting.

Furniture and shelving

For example, share a living room, simple sofa, placing it in the center of the room, or a narrow and flat aquarium located on a pedestal or drywall podium.

Built-in wardrobes and shelves

Quite often they are used for zoning rooms, and shelves, for example, like and, can be thought out on both sides for both rooms.

Zoning techniques for a small apartment

Living-dining room

Correctly in one room it is more rational with a bar counter or an island, so you can separate upholstered furniture to take a break from the eating area. Yes, and on the bar you can store a lot of little things in order to quickly and without fuss set the table.

Living room with office

For a living room in one space, it is recommended to use wooden or plasterboard partitions with glass or plastic inserts.
In the design, you can additionally consider shelves for storing documents and office equipment. From the side of the living room, you can hang pictures or frames with photographs on the structure.

For children

For, zoning space into a recreation area and a playroom is recommended using a closet with shelves on one side for storing toys, and with doors in the "bedroom" for storing clothes. Since children are active and mobile, it is important that the structure is reliable and stable, it should be firmly fixed.
open shelves dust can be covered with a light tulle with a children's pattern.

Living room and corridor

Best used with an arch, or using a false division of space, these techniques will further visually expand the space.

Which zoning option to choose depends on the room itself, its size, as well as on the preferences of the owners. And, of course, to begin with, you need to carefully weigh the pros and cons and try to visualize as much as possible what you want to see after the conversion.

Conclusion

Thanks to the zoning of space in the interior, it is possible to realize the dream of all the owners of small rooms. That is, even from a one-room or two-room apartment make it cozy, convenient, comfortable and beautiful dwelling. Your perfect home, in which, thanks to the zoning of rooms, it is pleasant to live and create, in which it is easy and simple to cook food, to retire for important work, relax with friends and family.

The project for the arrangement of a one-room apartment is addressed to young spouses who have acquired their first home. According to the designer's intent, virtual customers lead active life but at the same time appreciate comfort and privacy. All the walls in the apartment are load-bearing, so the author of the project refuses to radically redevelop and offers a much less radical alternative. All rooms are connected by a single design, which is characterized by conciseness and active use of summer colors.

The living space is supposed to be divided into two functional areas - a living room and a bedroom. For this purpose, it is planned to build two narrow piers that will "outline" the location of the mobile "walls" - thick curtains, with the help of which the sleeping area (there is enough space for a full-fledged double bed and two bedside tables), if necessary, will be visually isolated from the living room area with a sofa, a TV group and a work desk. But the partition between the corridor and the kitchen, on the contrary, is dismantled, due to which the need to install an interior door will disappear.

Instead of a hinged structure, a sliding structure will be installed between the corridor and the living room. Thanks to the apartment, it will become more convenient to move around, and the renovated premises will seem a little larger than they really are. Others will also contribute to the optical increase in their footage. design techniques- mirror panels and facades, as well as various options top lighting.

Sophisticated lighting of the representative area includes, in addition to the main scenario (track systems built into the false ceiling), also local illumination of two types - pendant lamps(at the desktop) and a sconce (on the wall behind the sofa).

The designer believes that small footage is not a reason to refuse when decorating the interior, and by combining them with white and beige, it creates a summer atmosphere in the apartment.

sleeping area

Just two movements are enough to transform the corner with the bed into a private area. Its insignificant volume is visually enlarged due to a two-level ceiling with hidden lighting and white walls. The space adjacent to the bedroom also seems more spacious thanks to the mirrored facades. wardrobe and glossy surface of a sliding interior door.

Hallway

The configuration of the room is conducive to the installation of a spacious closet. A model with sliding doors will allow you to more rationally master the volume of the hallway. Everyday outerwear expected to be stored in wall hanger, and place shoes on the shelves of the stool and in the shoe cabinet.

Corridor

Apple-colored interior paint and an unusual floor covering - porcelain stoneware with the image of old newspapers will help to transfer the room from the category of auxiliary to the rank of the "first room".

Kitchen

After dismantling the partitions, a wall will be erected - to the depth of the hull two-chamber refrigerator. Thus, by lengthening the wall of the corridor, it will be possible to optically level the bulky element kitchen set. The depth and texture of the interior will be given on the apron, glossy facades, wooden panels.

The spacious kitchen-dining room seems even larger due to the skillful combination of glossy surfaces, LED backlight kitchen front and translucent window curtains.
