Small room solutions. Room design

The bedroom in the house is considered one of the most important premises, because it is here that a person spends a significant part of his life, relaxing after a hard day and gaining strength for new achievements. That is why such strict requirements are imposed on the bedroom.

It should be comfortable, functional and properly equipped from a psychophysiological point of view.

In order for the new bedroom design to fully suit the owners of the home, you need to think over every little thing in advance, because the needs of each family are different. WITHThere are 2 division systems:

NS about belonging;
NS about the type of housing (in your own house, in a panel house with an improved layout, in Khrushchev).

The type of setting and style of the room should be used taking into account who will own the bedroom. There may be several options here.

Marital (or parental).

This room should be as comfortable and aesthetic as possible. In addition, it is imperative to add at least a touch of romance here, because the spouses in the bedroom not only relax, but also want to retire.

The central place here will be occupied by a bed, quite spacious and comfortable.

Bachelor.

The atmosphere in this room is as close as possible to that of a matrimonial.

Quite often, this room serves not only as a bedroom, but also as a home office.

Children's.

Usually the child's bed is located in the children's room, which serves as both a play and study area.

Special requirements apply here.

In a one-room apartment.

These cases also need a special approach, since the bedroom is combined with the living room.

Such a room needs zoning.

Influence of the type of housing on the decor of the bedroom

As already mentioned, the type of dwelling has a great influence on the design of the bedroom.

Own house.

The peculiarity of interior design in a private house is that residents can choose a room for a bedroom, based on their own preferences - they have such an opportunity.

The main selection criteria will be the direction to the cardinal points, the location of the windows, the area of the room and its location relative to other rooms.

If there is a second floor in the house, the designers recommend equipping the bedroom there. Completely inimitable design options are available for the attic bedroom.

Photos of finished projects will surely attract your attention.

Panel house with improved planning.

In this case, the owners have slightly less choice than in the previous case, however, there are many opportunities to equip a spacious, bright bedroom without worrying about cramped conditions.

Only the declared budget and your own preferences can limit the design.

Khrushchevs.

This type of housing is one of the most common in our country, and it is here that difficulties arise with interior design. The main reason is the small floor space and low ceilings. There is no need to talk about any space here.

Interior designers have in their arsenal about a dozen techniques and tricks, thanks to which even the arrangement of furniture in the bedroom is 12 sq. m will be winning and attractive.

Sofa in the bedroom - space saving

Many tenants of small apartments install exclusively beds in bedrooms, sacrificing precious square meters and abandoning other important interior items. Whether it is worth using the same option is up to the residents to decide.

However, the masters have long suggested using an effective solution to this problem - the design of a small room of 12 sq m with a sofa.

A properly selected sofa will successfully replace even the most comfortable bed, and here's why.

Saving space.

This is probably the first thing that comes to mind, and this statement is indeed true. Unlike a double bed, the assembled sofa takes up 2 times less space, and therefore there will still be enough space in the room during the day.

Moreover, in this case, the arrangement of furniture in a room of 12 sq m will not require rejection of other necessary furniture.

Functionality.

Manufacturers offer the use of a huge number of folding sofas, which differ in size and type of mechanism.

Thanks to this, the sofa unfolds in just a few seconds, turning into a spacious bed.

Convenience.

Now you can choose absolutely any sofa, taking into account the size, level of softness and type of upholstery.

Gray sofa in the room 12 meters.

Functionality.

If you want to save a little more space, choose models with drawers at the bottom.

Bed linen and other items can be placed here.

Versatility.

The sofa will perfectly "fit", both in the matrimonial bedroom, and in all other types of premises.

Pastel colors and textiles add softness and comfort.

Selection of furniture for a small bedroom

So, even if you have already decided on the purchase of a sofa, the question remains how to arrange furniture in a 12 sq m bedroom without compromising free space, and most importantly: how to choose it?

The process of creating a small home requires a lot of effort.

It should be noted that there is a very standard list of furniture items that must be in every bedroom:

TO bed or sofa;
NS a cafe for clothes (if there is no dressing room in the house);
T bedside umbels (they can be successfully placed near the sofa);
H A small chest of drawers (very convenient for storing small items and underwear).

Proper organization of space is a painstaking work that requires a lot of attention from designers.

If desired, items such as a TV (monitor) and a dressing table can be used in the bedroom. The list can be shortened or expanded depending on your preferences.

For a small room, this set will be more than enough.

Wardrobe.

The design of a small room of 12 sq m with a sofa simply cannot do without a storage system. At the same time, it is rather difficult to choose a suitable cabinet model, because in a cramped room any cabinet will look much larger than it actually is. To improve the situation even a little, designers recommend choosing built-in wardrobes along the entire wall from floor to ceiling. Another detail that makes life easier in a small apartment is the sliding doors (ideally mirrored or with frosted glass).

Such furniture will give a good economy of space, it will allow you to freely place all clothes, bedding and many more different items.

Shelves.

A cell phone, TV remote control, alarm clock and other little things can be stored on the bedside table. In the Khrushchev's bedroom, such a (seemingly) small piece of furniture can become an unaffordable luxury, because it will “eat up” a lot of space. Is there a way out? Of course, these are hinged shelves.

Well-chosen in style and color scheme, the shelves will perfectly replace both bedside tables and a chest of drawers.

Sofa.

As for the choice of a sofa, here you can fully rely on your preferences, since there are a great many options on the market for goods. They all differ in the type of mechanism and style. "American clamshell", "Dolphin", "Verona" will be quite spacious when disassembled.

Install the sofa against the wall.

How to arrange furniture in a small bedroom 12 sq m

It is very important to choose the right furniture for a small room, but it is equally important to arrange it correctly. Taking into account the recommendations of the interior designers, it will be much easier to deal with this, and the result will exceed all expectations.

There are only a few placement options, each of which has pros and cons, and some are completely unacceptable in tight spaces.

Symmetrical placement method.

Its essence lies in the fact that paired objects are installed on both sides of a given axis. A prime example is the bedside tables against the wall on either side of the bed or sofa. The same can be done with a built-in wardrobe - divide it into 2 parts and install it on the sides of the sofa. In this case, the TV can be hung on the opposite wall. This setting looks quite laconic and traditional. However, it has a drawback - it can be used only in a room with a square (or close to it) shape.

One wall in the bedroom is overloaded.

Asymmetric.

In this case, the sofa becomes the focal point, and all other objects are already located around it along the perimeter of the walls. Looking at a photo of such an interior, it may seem that all objects are placed in the room in an absolutely chaotic way, but this is far from the case. However, to maintain harmony in space, the swing principle is used. In other words, the main emphasis is on the fact that tall objects alternate with low ones.

This technique can be used indoors with any configuration - this is a plus.

Style sets the mood

If your apartment cannot boast of a spacious, bright bedroom, this is not at all a reason to be upset. For small rooms, there are no less effective solutions.

Moreover, in a small space it is possible to achieve a chamber design.

If you desperately do not want to put up with such a small room size and inconvenient layout, you can expand it a little at the expense of other rooms or a balcony. A bedroom combined with a balcony offers stunning possibilities for realization.

This space can be perfectly equipped as a work area or as a cozy place to relax by equipping the balcony space with shelves, an armchair or a pouf.

For a bedroom of 12 sq m with a TV bed and a wardrobe, you can choose a very different design.

Classic... Do not write off the classics that seem to have gone out of fashion - they are always relevant, especially in small rooms. Ivory, peach or beige mills can visually expand the space.

Almost any furniture is suitable here, it only needs to be carefully selected.
Sea style... The design of the bedroom in white, blue and greenish tones perfectly refreshes and sets a cheerful mood from the very morning.

Bright accents in small quantities are what you need to create an original interior.
Provence... Do you like light negligence? Then Provence is for you. In a small room, he will bring the coziness of a village house.

Pastel colors will give the atmosphere a lightness.
Minimalism... Where can we go without a strict and laconic style? The main advantage in a small room is the lack of details that only clutter up the space.

The successful arrangement of furniture in the bedroom of 12 sq m in the style of minimalism is a truly stylish modern solution.
Art Deco... Take a look at the photos of the works of famous designers: here are the use of bright accents, and unexpected forms, and a light touch of luxury.

A bedroom with this style has absolutely everything to conquer at first sight.

Color palette of design

Everyone probably knows that to visually increase the space in the bedroom design, you need to add light tones to the walls, ceiling and furniture. However, plain rooms can only aggravate the situation. Feel free to use:

Play of light

Even the smallest and darkest room can be instantly transformed with carefully thought-out lighting (primary and secondary).The main light is the central chandelier.

For the design of a 12 meter bedroom, it is better not to buy large hanging models. They will look bulky.

Additional light can be represented by a sconce with a soft diffusing light, a tall floor lamp, spotlights. An amazing design result can be created using the zoned ceiling lighting.

Numerous photos of backlight options will serve as proof.

Textile decoration - stylish completion of the design of the room

Curtains are one of the main additions to every room interior. For small cramped spaces, interior designers recommend opting for a light translucent tulle, as it makes the interior more airy and light. However, the bedroom is the place where personal space is of the utmost importance, so the use of a thick curtain is quite acceptable.

In color, it can overlap with the interior palette or, on the contrary, be contrasting and bright.

Vertical blinds can be called a modern fashionable solution.

They are very similar to traditional curtains, but much more original and easy to clean.

VIDEO: Bedroom designs 12 sq.m.

There are a great many articles on how to make a small room seem larger than it really is. And, nevertheless, after reading many of them, I also wanted to express myself on this matter.

At the same time, get away from the standard cliché: "10 tips on how to change a room."

In general, for a start, it would be nice to decide what it is all about! What room can be considered small?
Is your room really small, or is it just your imagination?

Let's look at an example.
Let's say we have a room with an area of 9 sq.m.
Of course, this is very little if we want to place a bedroom or living room in it. It's also a bit cramped for a teenager's room.
But for a kitchen with a small dining area, this is perfectly acceptable. Also, it is quite realistic to place an office in it or even a nursery for a preschool child using commensurate children's furniture.

And if these 9 meters went to the bathroom, then the unfortunate " TOTAL 9 meters"Magically turn into chic" WHOLE 9 meters».

Thus, any room can be small, for which the desired set of functions that this room must perform is disproportionately large in relation to its area.

In addition, additional factors will have to be taken into account: the configuration of the room, which sometimes matters more than the area, as well as the height of the ceiling and illumination.

Well, and last (but not least) is the permeability of the room.

Obviously, in the general case, a bedroom (without additional functions) has less traffic than a kitchen or a nursery, for example. But if it is in this room that the only balcony in the apartment, on which the things very necessary in the household are stored, then its permeability increases significantly.

So, the first thing to do:

1.PLANATION:
- try to initially most logically distribute the functions and offered areas so that they correspond to each other.
- if possible, reduce the number of functions dropped on one small room.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible, and yet, before shedding tears, trying to "cram in something unproductive," think: is it possible to make a competent redevelopment of the apartment as a whole in order to logically redistribute the area. Or maybe it is worth swapping the bedroom with the living room or the nursery? Or will it be possible to find a place for the wardrobe not in a tiny bedroom, but in the corridor, or in another room?

If the room has already been selected and cannot be changed, you should pay special attention to the arrangement of furniture in it.

2. PLACEMENT OF FURNITURE.
In mathematics, "the sum does not change from a change in the places of the terms." But when planning a room, the opposite is true. Changes, and how!

The so-called "first impression".
That is, what first catches the eye when we enter the room. And what do we see first of all? That's right, the front wall (opposite the entrance) and the "red corner" (diagonally from the door). Accordingly, it is these areas that require special attention in design.
Do not overload them with bulky objects and things that have lost their aesthetic appeal, be careful also with small details (all sorts of open shelves with vases, photos, ducks ...)

But on both sides of the entrance there is a "dead zone" (especially on the side of the door hinges). Here you can easily hide both a massive wardrobe and an ugly rack, which for some reason you do not dare to send to a landfill.
- Zoning. Another controversial topic for small rooms.

There are many pictures on the Internet, the room is divided into zones using a plasterboard partition, shelving or sofa set across the room.

It should be remembered that these solutions are not suitable for small rooms and, not only make them even smaller visually, but often greatly complicate the use of each of the zones for their intended purpose.

An exception may be a narrow, and at the same time disproportionately long room. But in this case, it is worth using only mobile pieces of furniture, low dressers or pass-through shelves that let in light in order to maintain the overall volume.

Also different will look inappropriate in a small volume. architectural excesses... Artificially created niches, heaped up from plasterboard, arches, columns, multi-tiered ceilings of strange shapes.

3. STYLE
First of all, let's define the style.
It is better to say goodbye to "palace" styles right away. The luxurious Louis XIV bed will lose all its luster if by some miracle you managed to shove it into a 3x3 m cage. And, alas, it will never give you the feeling of a royal bedroom.
Of course, most suitable for small rooms minimalism, with its laconic, ergonomic shapes.

But not everyone is a fan of this style. In this case, you can turn to a versatile and much more comfortable style. contemporary

or graceful provence.

For the most daring, you can offer eclectic solutions. For example, a grandmother's table may well get along with glossy cabinet fronts.

4. FURNITURE
Equally important is the process of choosing certain furniture models that can reduce the workload of the room.

The general principle of selection is simple:
- There shouldn't be a lot of furniture. Leave only the essentials.
Numerous, even small, objects can strongly litter any room.
- You should abandon massive products in favor of lighter graceful models.
- In general, light furniture looks lighter than dark furniture.
- Numerous drawers of cabinets of different colors and sizes, and even with any drawings, patterns and panels, will not add beauty, but will only crush your small room.
- Built-in or free-standing wardrobes, but with smooth, smooth fronts, attracting as little attention as possible.
- Choose a bed without a footboard.
- A sofa of a simple shape, not high. The upholstery is preferably monochromatic, not bright, not variegated. It is advisable to abandon the combination of colors and wide wooden armrests.
- Choosing to use non-standard furniture. Custom-made products can be tailored as much as possible in size and shape to the given circumstances.
I will pay special attention to various transformers.
- Folding bed.

- Bed-podium.

- Pull-out beds for the nursery.

- Sofa bed for the living room.

- Table transformer.

- Workplace - secretary.

They will help you save space in the room.
5. COLOR
After we have dealt with the furniture, we smoothly move on to color scheme.
Here, I probably will not say a lot of new things. All articles polls advise using white, light shades and cool tones.

And it really works!
White color tends to reflect light particles, so the room seems not only larger, but also higher and lighter.

Light cold tones visually move the surface away from us, expand the boundaries of the room. While the warm tones of the surface bring it closer.

"What are we going to do now, do everything white, like in a hospital"?
- Well, firstly, the interior will not seem sterile boring if you use different textures in contrast... Combine bricks, shabby wood with lace and silk, and fur with the shine of glass or glossy facades.

- Can be used various shades of neutral tones

- Or add a small contrasting note.

But that's not all!
If you prefer rich colors, you can use any of them. Even black. At the same time, the walls and floor, as well as all large objects in the room must be the same color... Shades, saturation and textures may differ.

You can use this technique, for example, if you need to place in a small room a large solid sofa of dark color, which you cannot refuse.
Since the color of the sofa will be close to the color of the walls, it will no longer look as bulky as it used to.

Now, what should be definitely avoided when decorating small rooms:
1. Sharp color contrast

2. Abundance of different colors.

6. PHOTO WALLPAPERS
They are often advised to be used to expand the space.

In principle, it is so. Perspective works best in this regard. But most people don't even know how difficult it is to find the right image that suits your interior. One of yours: " I liked this picture so much"- clearly not enough.
It is imperative to take into account both the plot and the color scheme, the size and geometry of the panel (square, rectangle (regular or strongly elongated in length or height), the proportionality of the picture, the horizon line and the correct angle for review.

It may happen that the cherished picture turns out to be alien to your interior.
You can spoil the impression
- the wrong angle,

-inappropriate image, or

- inappropriate close-up.

7. LIGHT
Of course, the better the room is lit, the more spacious it appears.
That's why:
- Try do not block the flow of light, placing a number of tall wardrobes.
- Dense replace curtains with air, translucent curtains.
- If the layout allows, you can hang a mirror opposite the window, which will reflect the stream of light.
- Also, if window slopes wide enough, they can also be make mirrored.

In general, we'll talk more about mirrors later.

8. ELECTRIC LIGHTING
One of the keys to success is uniform lighting.
The only question is how to achieve this.
Usage built-in spotlights on the ceiling is not always justified, and not always appropriate.
Firstly, it is still a kind of technical lighting. It can be used without restrictions in the hallway, bathroom, dressing room and to illuminate the kitchen front.
Beautiful stylish models are also suitable for living rooms in the style of minimalism, high-tech.

Secondly, the ceiling will need to be lowered.
The safest solution would be to add to the main lamp additional lighting scenarios.
- Sconces, table lamps, floor lamps.
- Lighting for glass cabinets and pictures always creates intrigue in the room, and
- Perimeter LED strip and hidden behind the ceiling cornice, not only visually raise the ceiling, but also contributes to a soft intimate atmosphere.

9. MIRRORS
In addition to its direct function
- reflect your person,
For him, there may be several more roles in the interior:
- Mirrors reflect light, having a positive effect on illumination.
- The magic of reflections allows increase space .
- They alone can serve decor element .

Therefore, when hanging a mirror in a particular place, first decide which of these functions is in priority.
1. In the first case, the mirror is hung up so that it is most convenient for you to use it. If we are talking about a large mirror, there should be an approach to it in order to see yourself at full height. In this case, the light should fall from the side or from above, but not from behind.

And this will happen if the mirror is hung on the wall opposite the window.
2. But the window will be reflected in the mirror, this will give you a beautiful perspective and a well-lit room.

For this purpose, if for some reason you are not very fond of mirrors, you can use glass or glossy surfaces, metal or mirror mosaics instead.
Also, instead of one large mirror, you can hang several small ones at a sufficient height. They will also reflect light, but you don't have to bump into your full-length image all the time (for those who don't like it)
3. If the task is to increase the space with the help of mirrors, think about what and how your mirrors reflect. It is unlikely that the reflection of an empty bare wall in a narrow corridor, or a mess piled up in the corner, will help to solve the problem.

4. When you hang mirrors solely "for beauty", then the place for them should be chosen as if we were hanging a picture or other element of wall decor. Considering composition, style, shape and color.
- But it is not worth hanging on all the walls and free corners of different-sized and multi-colored pictures and other decorations.
- Also, you should not hang open shelves with books and various "things" everywhere.
In the end, I would like to summarize all of the above and focus on the main points.

SO:
- Correctly distribute the area of the apartment.
- Do not overload small rooms with unnecessary functions.
- Try to find the most rational arrangement option.
- Discard "unnecessary" architectural elements.
- Choose the right style.
- Reduce the amount of furniture.
- Avoid bulky models.
- Use non-standard furniture made according to your size and various transformers.
- You should not split the room with furniture of different sizes, facades of different colors and shapes, numerous shelves, paintings, etc.
- Opt for uniform surfaces without patterns or patterns.
- Avoid sharp contrasts and colors.
- Try to choose all the finishing elements in the same color scheme, the difference can only be in shades and textures.
- Give preference to white, light shades and cool tones.
- Try to fill the room with light.
- Arrange uniform lighting and different lighting scenarios.
- Properly use various design techniques aimed at visually expanding the space: wallpaper with perspective, mirrors, glass and glossy surfaces.
I would be glad if my article helps you.

Unfortunately, compact spaces in our apartments are not so rare. However, if desired, they can be made aesthetic, comfortable and functional. With proper zoning and a competent combination of colors and textures, you can make a modern design of a small room and visual expansion of the space.

Where to begin?

When drawing up a design project, one should take into account all the architectural features of the room and its pros and cons. After measuring the width of the walls, the sizes of windows and doors, the height of the ceiling, the distances between the furniture, taking into account the width of the aisles, a schematic plan is drawn. The system for the location of electrical outlets should also be indicated on it.

There are several techniques with which you can competently dispose of square meters in a small room:

If the door is not an urgent need, it is better to get rid of it - this will help free up a couple of free meters; you can go further and expand the doorway or turn it into an arch; light sliding doors are a good option for a small room;

Sliding doors in the bedroom

When choosing furniture, preference should be given to light sliding structures or built-in wardrobes;

You can make the room visually more spacious with the help of mirror or glossy surfaces;

A narrow and long small room can be easily divided into zones; however, massive elements should not be used as partitions - it is better to install partially filled structures or glass partitions;

You can select a separate work area even in a small room

Zoning space with furniture elements and contrasting wall finishes

If there is no natural light in the room, it is advisable to provide a false window with artificial lighting in it - the room in this case will look much more comfortable;

You can also save living space by increasing the width of the window sill;

Window sill-table top

To prevent the room from looking too dull, do not neglect the decoration of the ceiling; of course, in a small room, complex ones will be inappropriate (you can only afford small ceiling elements); Glossy stretch fabrics with or without colored inserts can be ideal.

Advice... If the central part of the decor is the ceiling, the remaining surfaces should have a minimum of finishing.

Glossy stretch ceilings in the nursery

Be sure to consider the type of lighting - a well-lit room seems more spacious; in a small room, it is better to provide a combination of spot ceiling lamps, a central chandelier, sconces and floor lamps;

Stucco molding and massive chandeliers are not used in small rooms.

Choosing a color palette

Be sure to make a colored sketch of the room - in this case, you can personally verify the correct choice of shades and placement of accents:

For a small room, it is preferable to use light colors - they visually expand the space; bright juicy or dark colors are best used only as a decoration;

Dark tones are used only as decoration

Light colors help to visually expand the room, plus delicate pastel shades will promote relaxation

The ceiling does not have to be painted white, but in order not to burden the space, it must be at least a couple of tones lighter than the walls; choose for it calm pastel beige, shades of linen, ivory or muted yellow shades - this way you can compensate for the lack of lighting in the room facing the shady side;

The ceiling should be slightly lighter than the walls

Too large prints capable of "eating up" space, while an excess of small repeating patterns can be depressing; if you certainly want to stick wallpaper with colored patterns into the room, trim only one of the walls with them;

Only one of the walls can be decorated with colored wallpaper.

Plain walls can be revived with bright color inserts, paintings or photos;

Be extremely careful with the selection of color shades - after all, color dissonance can negate even a brilliant design;

Experiment with horizontal and vertical ornaments - in the first case, you can visually make the room higher, and in the second, visually expand the room;

Volumetric curtains with drapery in a small room are inappropriate - it is better to choose a lighter plain fabric or fabric with a small pattern

If the room faces the sunny side, you can afford to experiment and decorate it in cold colors: gray, ash turquoise, muted blue or dull purple; diluting such a color palette with bright colors, you can get a very non-trivial interior.

If the room is well lit, you can easily afford to use shades of gray.

Advice... Chrome surfaces are very difficult to combine with natural wood. It is best used in combination with glass or stone.

Selection of furniture

When arranging furniture in a small room, the main task is to use the usable area most efficiently:
to the maximum it is necessary to use mobile, folding and multifunctional furniture;

You can free up free space with the help of cabinets that are not too deep, but high, up to the ceiling;

Advice. In design, there is an immutable rule - the color of the flooring should be the opposite of the color of the furniture.

In a small room, try to use sofas to the maximum or - they can contain bed linen and bedding;

Sofa with built-in wardrobe

Built-in wardrobes are located at the bottom of the bed

You can also save space by using small lockers located above the head of the bed;

Wardrobes above the head of the bed

Open shelves eat up less space; it is not worth making them with too many small objects - they will bring a feeling of chaos;

With the help of mirrored or stained glass glasses, you can bring more volume and light into the room and expand it visual.

Using mirrored surfaces to expand space
