Starting to repair any residential premises, we, first of all, determine its purpose. What do we want to see in the end: a spacious living room or bedroom, and can a combined space, not limited to one function?

Today we will talk about the design and zoning of the room at 18 square meters. m. When a shortage of square meters often falls in one residential room combining several functions, such as a bedroom or living-dining room.

It happens that a teenage child lives in a common room, and it needs to be equipped with a comfortable workplace.

Consider several room design options in 18 square meters. m.

One-bedroom apartment with residential premises in 18 square meters

Starting an independent life, we often acquire a one-room apartment. This is the so-called start in a big way. Everyone seeks to equip its first housing as comfortable as possible. This is important for singles, and for a young family. As you know, often the relationship is broken by a unsettled life, so it is so important to fulfill the correct zoning.

How to arrange we have already written in one of the previous articles. And what functions can still be combined in the same room?

Lovers of youth parties and holidays is important to create a relaxed and fairly spacious atmosphere in the room. It is difficult to do it in a small space. However, if your kitchen house is equipped with electric stoves, then there is an opportunity to combine the kitchen with a living room, provided that the wall between the rooms is not carrier. Between two, the dining area is perfectly located on the premises.

Visually, two rooms can be divided by a small partition or bar counter, as well as the texture or color of the floor and walls. And combine the common color stains used in both rooms to maintain the integrity of the space.

Gas equipment owners were obviously upset, thinking that it was impossible to "push the walls between these premises. There is a way out. In the wall between the kitchen and the living room are installed. In the open state of the doors, the division of the premises is missing, and at the right time the kitchen is easily isolated from residential space.

For a young couple, a room can be divided into three zones: a common, combining living room and a sleeping zone, as well as an office for a young man and a small ladies room - Boudo. If you wish, these small rooms can be isolate, for example, textiles or shirma.

Separately, I would like to say about transformable furniture, which is always by the way in small rooms or rooms endowed with various functions. Thanks to the designers and designers who work in this direction in this direction and invent various options for transformation of furniture, we can significantly improve the comfort of our dwellings.

We draw a cabinet or workplace in a small apartment

Often in small-sized apartments in the living room equip the place for the mini-office or the working area of \u200b\u200bthe child. It is very important that this zone is either knocked out from the common space, and harmoniously fit into it.

The working area can be mounted by a partition or easier design - rack, as if isolating it from the living room space.

Another decision of a mini-cabinet or a small workshop in the living room is the location of them in the closet or in a niche, supplemented with special backlight. At the end of the work, the table and the chair are moved to the internal space, the doors are closed, and the interior of the room, with an area of \u200b\u200b18 square meters again carries the only function - the function of the living room.

Due to the inability to highlight a separate place under the office, it is often suitable in the bedroom. Whatever does not interfere with your second half rest, the work area is still better to isolate. Parers made of tight fabric are perfectly suitable as partitioned and lightweight.

Studio apartment

A distinctive feature of studio apartments, fashionable lately - is the absence of partitions. The exception is partitions of the bathrooms and bedrooms. A single-room apartment-studio option is suitable for people living alone, or for a family consisting of no more than two people, since a single space does not imply privacy - everything is all in sight. As a rule, such housing choose creative and active people, young couples or bachelors.

The studio is usually not overloaded with furniture, the room is only visually divided into zones. And initially a small residential room 16-18 or even 20 square meters. m. It becomes spacious through the accession of the kitchen and the hallway (in whole or in part).

Currently, more and more often from small apartments in Khrushchev, through redevelopment, studio apartment organizes. Agree that it is much more pleasant to live in a spacious room, rather than in the clad walls and a ceiling closed small space.

Poses the waymark (after the corresponding coordination) between the living room and the kitchen, the passage from the corridor into the kitchen is closed. A refrigerator is installed in the resulting niche in the kitchen, and a small pantry or a wardrobe can be made from the corridor.

Try not to overload small on the square of the room with furniture, but also make them very dark, otherwise you visually even more reduce their area. Prefer light shades.

Mirrors help visually "push the walls", increase the space and fill it with an additional light - are an excellent solution for small rooms.

Extended by the doorway between the living room and the corridor with sliding doors will also help in the daytime to increase the space by combining the hallway from the living room. If necessary, the room is easily isolated.

Often, our life dictates conditions when it is necessary to revise the appointment of existing premises - this is the creation of a family, the birth of a child and others. Comely and thought about redevelopment or repair with division into zones, and then even in a small apartment you can live quite comfortable and friendly.

Small rooms whose area is 18 squares, are found in most apartments of the old type of planning. It is difficult to call a big room, however such a size is enough to make the design of the room of 18 sq. Meters, bedrooms, living room - was very cozy and both functional.

It is known that the tiny apartments adversely affect the human psyche, while spacious and bright premises have a safe effect. In addition, with illiterate design of a small room, it will seem uncomfortable. Pondering the design of the room of 18 sq. M - bedrooms of the living room, should be used by the Rule of "Golden Mid" - is unnecessary to overload the space with extra details is not worth it, otherwise it turns out a closed room.

The easiest way to get a beautiful lawn in front of the house

You, of course, saw the perfect lawn in the cinema, on the Alley, and perhaps on the neighboring lawn. Those who at least once tried to grow a green platform in their own area, without doubt they will say that this is a huge work. Lawn requires careful landing, care, fertilizer, watering. However, only inexperienced gardeners think so, professionals have long known about the innovative agent - liquid lawn Aquagrazz.

General Comfort Requirements

To the living room, the bedroom meet all the requirements of comfort, you must follow the following rules:

• A more expressive appearance room acquires the room when bright or brighter color gamans are used in the design. Yes, and bright shades contribute to a visual increase in the area;
• If possible, it is better to provide a small room with spacious window openings, so it will be possible to fill it with light, creating an illusion of the space;
• Many furniture objects will lead to the clutter of the interior of the bedroom living room of 18 sq. M. It is advisable to place a transforming sofa bed here, which will save several precious meters;
• It is worth abandoning bulky models of chandeliers, it is better to replace them with small copies of lighting items;
• Big closed wardrobes are better preferred by open shelves: the benefits of them are as much, but the organic view of the placed photo frames, books and other decorative elements fits perfectly into the design of the guest bedroom;

• To increase the height of the ceilings, you should use simple design techniques: cover the ceiling space with glossy canvases, arrange the wall planes with vertical stripes.

Options zoning

Although the sleeping and living room are combined into a common room, it is necessary to delimit these functional sections. Zoning starts with choosing a bedroom place. It is quite clear that it cannot be done in any way, since for a full-fledged high-quality rest, a man needs silence and calm. Therefore, it is advisable to place a sleeping area away from the doorway, that is, near the window. There is an alternative option - place a bed in the corner, organizing a cozy secluded place.

When combining a pair of functional zones, one of them is considered dominant. This is usually the guest part.

For visual distinction of two sites, it is resorted to various design techniques:

• Partitions built of plasterboard sheets - such structures are easy to erect, the material is environmentally friendly, its cost is available. The design of such a partition is beginning with the construction of a frame of metal products, which is then sewn with plasterboard. The finish finish of the material can be completely different, starting from the usual wake-up, before applying decorative plaster;

• Transparent glass or plastic partitions - these designs are good in that the natural solar streams from the adjacent room will be freely penetrated, filling the second room with light. The design of partitions made of glass material may be the most unimaginable, color. Stained glass canvases are very popular today, and the matte surfaces organically fit into the interior compositions of modern stylistic directions;
• Curtains and curtains are the easiest and cheapest option to exorcate the territory. For this kind of designs, it is enough just to pull the rope and hang on it the selected textile canvas, which should perform the partition function. To give such fencing dynamism and uniqueness, you can decorate them by beads or sequins tracks.

Any partitions in the design of the room of 18 sq. M bedrooms - living room - they carry only a visual load so that it turned out to be overlooking the territory. A big mistake is the design of one room with bright shades, often guest, and the second is sleeping - calm. It is not recommended to do so contrasting colors accents or use different style directions. Take these two rooms better in a single thematic concept.

Furniture equipment

Furnishing on the territory of the small-sized room is the most important aspect on which a comfortable stay depends on. If there are small square meters, it is worth thinking about the maximum functional placement of furniture items.

The best solution is transforming furniture. So, a sofa bed in the daytime will serve as a place to land all guests and family members, whereas at night he turns into a comfortable full-fledged bed. Wardrobe for storage of things is better to install in the guest zone. By combining a closed wardrobe with open shelves, it will be possible to organize a place to accommodate photos, favorite books and other cute trifles.

In order not to load the space of a television table, you can make a built-in shelf in the wall. It is advisable to replace a large chair with a stylish compact ottoman. Don't forget about little fromtholik for logs, which can be easily moved if necessary.

If there is a sufficient budget, it is possible to place a sofa on the podium to which a full-fledged bed is built. At night, she simply put forward, and in the morning hiding back.

Color palette of room 18 square meters

Typical living space 18 squares does not have high ceilings, so that the ceiling planes do not "pressed" on people, they are decorated in bright shades. The material is better to select this from which the light reflects. The optimal option is stretch ceiling canvas. At the same time, the walls are also separated by light colors, but still just darker the ceiling coating. The main thing is not to create a strong contrast, otherwise it will be "box".

Speakingly change the borders of space will help color games. Strips drawn on the walls in the vertical direction, "raise" ceilings. Horizontally applied bands contribute to the expansion of the borders.

Furniture objects are also better selected in bright design. If dark accents are needed, then it can be pillows, photo frames, vases and other decorative parts.

Lighting of a small room

When selecting lighting systems and devices, it is necessary to take into account the location of the room. If the living space is on the side where the solar light flow falls, then this is enough, it will only be possible to think over night lighting. At the same time, the most natural light should be selected, then the human eye will be comfortable.

The best option, if the design of the living room, the bedrooms of 18 squares will be supplemented with a multi-level backlight. Such structures allow you to adjust the flow streams by choosing the appropriate option for a specific day of day. Designers recommend creating backlight around the perimeter of the territory.

An excellent idea is to place the floor-type lamps. Stylishly look point built into furniture or mirrors lamps.

Window and doorways

Large spacious window openings contribute to an increase in light flux, and accordingly, the room will seem more. If the windows are small, then the repair will allow them to expand them. Speected and stylishly look the window openings height over the wall. You should also decorate them with curtains of airless materials.

A lot of precious space opening inside the door of the door. And even if you change the direction, the situation will not change too much, because rarely, which type apartment is distinguished by wide corridors. Alternative to roller doors. The cost of such a household design, but the living room bedroom will be much more modern.

Picking up the style for decoring a small room in 18 m², preference is better to give minimalistic direction, high-flow or modern. Distinctive features of these stylistics are:

• minimum number of decorative items;
• glossy, glass planes;
• monochrome color palette, silver cold shades;
• functional household and furniture groups.

Highlighting small-sized living space, it is very important to keep the balance between two concepts: functionality and style. These two components must necessarily have peacefully in a single concept, then it will be really comfortable completed design.

Selection of design for room 18 square meters: examples of a cozy living room

You need to start with the selection of material for the floor. It is best to use a homogeneous coating with one color. The same color must be used to cover the walls of adjacent rooms so that the space is combined with a single style, color and texture.

If you apply bright shades, you can sometimes use even dark colors, narrowing space by definition, - you will get a saturated depth, the room does not lose as a result, and the design of the living room of 18 sq m will only benefit from such a bold solution.

The visual and physical size of the room largely depends on the height of the ceiling, therefore you should not expect that in the low room you will feel spacious. In order to visually increase the height of the ceiling, you need to use a shade for it, which will be brighter. Also often use vertical strips on the walls, which also increase the height of the ceiling.

Role of lighting and decor

Multi-level lighting and bamboo wallpaper give the little bedroom warm and comfort. The interior of a small room will only benefit from the right light. If you have a desire to visual expansion of room space, then point lighting is considered to be the best option.

You can apply the trick with a false platform in which the backlight and lamps are installed. Even in the cold season, with their bright glow, an illusion is created that outside the window is the summer, not a cold winter.

It is better not to use an extra decor, staying on the functionality of the apartment. Therefore, you should not use heavy carpets, drapets from velvet, candlesticks, and the like. An important role is given to accessories, or rather, their absence. Do not put them all over the room, hoping that this will create some kind of unique atmosphere or style. You need to leave the most valuable and necessary for a vital space not lit up.

With a small room area, minimalism is made the best style for its design, and recommend paying attention to Japanese or Swedish minimalism that carry exotic. When buying things for a small room, it is better to use the rule that one major part of the interior is better than ten small, which eat space and do not bring much benefit.

In the case of a good view from the window, you advise not to use the curtains, which will make the room lighter, and the street will continue the interior. In this case, it is better to use rolled curtains or Roman blinds.

Zoning and redevelopment

As a rule, the small room performs the role of the living room in a two-or three-bedroom apartment, therefore it is not used so often. Some resourceful designers prefer to modify the interior of the room of 18 sq. M.

For example, using drywall, you can select several square meters in order to make an office with a computer and a table. Sometimes a nursery is made from such a room. That is, you distinguish certain functional areas in the room, turning it either to the restroom, or in the workplace.

The location of the furniture along the walls can not be called rational use of space, since it is necessary to use not only horizontal, but also vertical space. You can create additional levels. If a narrow corridor leads to the room. You can hang the shelves there, which go up to the ceiling. They are very convenient to place books and things if you use them not so often.

To change the functionality and increase the useful space, you can make redevelopment, but for this you will need to do the room repair. For example, ordinary swing doors can be replaced with sliding, as well as using built-in wardrobes. Popular now combined kitchens with living rooms allow you to increase the space, due to the absence of a wall. The entrance to the kitchen is usually separated in this case by a translucent curtain or partition.

To visually enlarge room space, mirror panels are used on the ceiling and walls. Such planes "spread" the walls, making the room wider visually. A similar result can be obtained using a wardrobe with sliding mirror doors to the entire wall.

The combination of the bedroom and the living room can be an excellent solution for a small apartment. Separate tiny rooms will coal a person, and the spacious room, on the contrary, will have a positive effect on an emotional state. But if it is incorrectly issued an interior with a bedroom with an area of \u200b\u200b18 square meters. m, the room will look rude and uncomfortable. What is important to remember, starting repairing?

Zoning of the room

Although the bedroom and living room are in the same room, these are two different zones that perform different functions. Therefore, they need to be visually divided. First of all, you should choose a sleeping place. It can not be passing, because a person must relax with the maximum comfort.

As a rule, the bed is placed near the window, away from the door. This will make it feel protected, but not isolated. Another option is possible. Some people are easier to relax, climbing in a "secluded place." In this case, the bed can be put into the angle.

In the combined rooms, one of the zones is still considered dominant. In this case, it will be a zone for guests. The second part makes an invisible.

Zoning options can be different:

• plasterboard partition;
• transparent plastic partition;
• glass (perhaps matte) partition with stained glass windows;
• curtains (fabric or beads).

Partitions should not strictly divide the plots. We make only visual zoning, while maintaining the spaciousness of the room. An error that newbies often allow: the design of the living room they make bright, and the bedrooms are calm. Do not do sharp contrasts in colors or combine different styles. One topic should prevail in design.

Arrangement of furniture

Furnishing plays an important role in the design of the room of 18 sq. M bedroom living room, the room should not be lit. Of course, everyone wants to achieve maximum functionality. But it is not necessary to force our furniture every square meter, because then the room will turn into a warehouse or a barn. Limit the most necessary objects, leaving more free space.

The ideal solution will become furniture-transformer. You can sit on the sofa during the day, and in the evening he turns into a sleeping place. Just choose models with orthopedic mattresses - uncomfortable sleep on ordinary sleep. The cabinet is appropriately placed in the zone for receiving guests. Do not install several overall cabinets - one will be quite enough. Align it with open shelves, on which you can store books, photos, small souvenirs and personal belongings.

Save the bedside table next to the cabinet. But it is better to make a built-in shelf in the wall. So you will save the place, and the room will look modern. If the chair seems too cumbersome or does not fit into the shared bedroom, replace it with the pencil. This will give elegance design. And do not forget about the coffee table: it is compact and it can be easily moved.

If the budget allows, install the sofa to the podium with the built-in bed. At night, it is simply nominated, and in the afternoon hiding from extra eyes.

Some push the furniture to the walls, trying to win as much space as possible. Of course, you can put some of the items to the wall, for example, a wardrobe. But the classic option is furniture around the perimeter and an empty place inside - looks old-fashioned, in Soviet. A small distance between the furniture and the walls gives the interior of lightness and ease. Fard the space original.

Color solution

The expansion of the space is very important for the living room bedroom of 18 square meters. meters. In small apartments, the ceiling often make low. So that he did not "give" a person to him, a bright tone should be selected for him. It is desirable that the material reflects the light. The optimal solution will be stretched ceilings. The walls must also be made in bright shades, but a darker ceiling. Just do not make a sharp contrast, otherwise it turns out the effect of the box.

Playing with flowers, you can visually change the boundaries of the room. Stripes on the walls will cope well with this task. If the ceiling is too low, the vertical stripes will "raise". Horizontal strips will expand narrow space. Examples of a good combination - white and blue or white and salad.

If you decide to use patterns, avoid large drawings with clear lines. We need lightness and airiness, and the contrast will make the atmosphere of severe.

It is also not worth ordering dark overall furniture. Wardrobe, sofa, bed and table should be blond. This does not mean that you need to refuse dark colors. They may be present in the finish: vases, floor lamps, photo frames, pillows for the sofa. Such a bedroom living room will look complete.

Lighting

Even the perfect combination of colors and thoughtful furniture layout will not save if the lighting is chosen incorrectly. The first thing you need to take into account is the location of the room. If it is on the sunny side, the day of light is quite enough, and you need to take care of the evening lighting. But if natural light is very small, the room will have to be illuminated even during the daytime. In this case, the light should be as close as possible to the natural, so as not to irritate the eyes.

The optimal option for the design of the bedroom with a living room area of \u200b\u200b18 square meters. m will become a multi-level backlight. It will control the intensity of the light stream and choose areas for lighting. You should not buy large chandeliers - so you will drive all attempts to "raise" the ceiling. In addition, the abundant upper stream of light does not affect the human psyche.

You can use floor luminaires. Also beautiful will look at dotted lamps built into furniture (for example, in a shelf or mirror). Their main feature is a certain direction of light. In addition to additional lighting, it will help in zoning.

Take care so that the room does not have sharp transitions from bright areas to the dark. Lighting should be uniform. If there are mirror, glass or glossy surfaces in the interior, install the lamps so that there is no glare. It will irritate the eyes and badly affect the nervous system.

Windows and doors

The size of the window is also important for the ergonomics of space. Spacious windows will help to push the boundaries of the room and increase the flow of light. If they are small, if possible expand them during repair. Very spectacular looks window on the whole wall. It can be decorate with beautiful air curtains.

Doors opening in the room, "eat" a lot of space. Of course, you can change the direction when opening. But small apartments rarely have spacious corridors. Better to order roller doors. Yes, it will have to spend on it. But the living room bedroom will become more practical and modern.

If the apartment does not boast of large dimensions, it can still be done functional. Of course, the size can not be mechanically increased. However, it can be cleaned more widely and higher. But the bedroom the living room looks truly stylishly, you need to remember important advice.

It is impossible to focus on design to the detriment of functionality and vice versa. These two criteria must merge into a single whole. Properly decorated room, albeit small, easily challenges to spacious giants.
