When developing a project for the future interior of their apartment, they usually follow the rule of the three "U":

• Place for sleep and rest;
• Place for reception and leisure.

It would seem that the noise from the guests in the living room and the "sleepy" bedroom furnishings are not combined absolutely, but with a competent zoning of the space, both conditional rooms will not interfere with each other. Such a design fully meets the standards of "evrodvushek" and is recognized as a convenient option for young families who can not afford an apartment of solid dimensions. The living room, regardless of the style chosen, recognizes only a minimum of functional furniture: a coffee table, a spacious sofa, a TV stand, shelves or storage cabinets. If you have chosen a strict classical style or one of the modern trends, then you will have to abandon the cute little things, leaving only "vital" items. If the project is based on the now popular fusion, provence or eclectic, knickknacks and other small design elements are placed on walls and on open shelves.

With styles you can "play", having issued different zones according to the canons of different directions. For two-sisters the need for zoning is eliminated, so the living room can be equipped without looking at neighboring rooms. At the moment, such styles as the rich loft, elegant vintage, funny country, "natural" eco-style, contrast Art Deco and cold Scandinavian style are popular.

Helpful advice. You should not combine styles in the studio, which are combined with difficulty and represent complete opposites. For example, Provence and modern style in one room do not get along. Similarly, the combination of baroque and high-tech, antique and ethnic styles with minimalism will look ridiculous. There must be a common line of "contact" in the design, so the general principles of directions should echo.

       

Zoning

Zoning пространства самая злободневная проблема для квартир-студий. Зоны могут разделяться:

• Actually;
• Conditionally.

The easiest way to solve this problem is through decorative partitions. They will not only share space, but they can also benefit if it comes to end-to-end racks or walls with niches. The arch that will extend through the whole room will completely protect the sleeping area from the prying eyes of the guests, but it will add to the "gravity" space, will land it. For conditional zoning, curtains or portable screens will do. The tumba with the TV can also be put on the "frontier" zone, thereby fencing off two different "worlds". One of the most original design ideas is the placement of a universal rack, which can be used both for work and for tea drinking. She fences off the bed and adds one more recreation area instead of a low coffee table. The actual boundary will be not only the wall, but also sliding doors made of translucent plastic. If the style allows, a pattern can be applied to the surface of the door, which will emphasize the general direction of the design. Another type of zoning space can be a two-level floor when the sleeping area is located on an improvised "pedestal".

Bedroom

For the design of the bedroom most often stop on the classic style. Given the lack of space, the furnishing of this room is usually scarce, so you can recoup on details, luxurious fabrics and wallpaper. Priority should be made in bright colors:

• Relaxing blue;
• Gentle turquoise;
• Pale green color;
• Neat pink;
• Soft yellow.

In combinations use two or three colors. All the rest is made out in the game of their shades. The bed is chosen from wood with ornate carved patterns. It is covered with a monophonic coverlet, which becomes a field for placing pillows with exquisite patterns. For curtains choose dark colors that emphasize the texture of natural materials. Curtains shade with a weightless tulle of light shades. A series of paintings in a rich framework will bring life into the bedroom and complement the wallpaper with a floral ornament. Finish the picture a few "green" strokes in the form of houseplants on special stands.

Helpful advice. To decorate the bedroom in one of the modern styles, use natural materials: wood, marble, metal, stone. "Cold" interior is diluted with soft and warm patterns on the upholstery and wallpaper. A few bright accents in the form of floor lamps, a decorative table or a pair of pouffes will break the feeling of excessive "museum" space.

       

Kitchen

Kitchen, как правило, оформляется в соответствии с канонами минимализма. Кухонный гарнитур должен быть компактным и функциональным. Между раковиной и плитой размещают рабочие зоны. Верхние полки не должны сильно «давить» сверху. Столовую зону либо оставляют по соседству с зоной приготовления пищи, либо переносят в гостиную, если речь идет о 2-х комнатной квартире. Зонируют пространство узкой барной стойкой, которая добавит помещению изысканности и станет еще одной рабочей поверхностью. В домах 137-ой серии, кухни обычно большие. Для таких вариантов подойдут габаритные гарнитуры и роскошные столовые с большими обеденными столами, рассчитанные на большую семью или компании частых посетителей. Стиральную машинку тоже размещают на кухне и прячут ее за одной из дверок гарнитура.

Helpful advice. The window can not be hung with heavy curtains. First, even with a high-quality hood, they will absorb the smells of food and constantly demand washing. Secondly, compact kitchens need a maximum of light and space, which will give a window.

       

Children's

A separate children's room is accommodated in two-bedroom apartments. Enough room is smaller. To maximize the space in it, they set up a dressing room to accommodate all toys and things. Plastic trays are used as additional storage tanks. If the family is big and the children are two, then it's worth thinking about a bunk bed that will save space. For classes and studies, the child is given a separate work area. For its design suitable universal desks, which combine shelves for books, a place for a computer and niches for toys. In a separate corner place a corner of the "healthy lifestyle" with special equipment for charging and exercise. If the child is made out in eco-style, the original course will be the placement in the corner of this tree of knowledge with the branches-shelves for books. Do not forget about the ceiling on which the decorative sky is set, which is illuminated at night, with stars, meteorites and the moon.

Bathroom

Bathroom обычно совмещена с санузлом. Пространства не хватает даже одному человеку: в таком помещении тяжело развернуться. Стоит задуматься о замене ванной на компактную и многофункциональную душевую кабинку. Освободившееся пространство можно заполнить аккуратными ящиками или тумбами для хранения вещей. Стиральную машину прячут за специальными панелями, оставляя «свободным» только барабан за дверцей. Только так техника не изуродует своим видом стиль помещения. Если ванну вы решили оставить, то пространство под ней закрывают панелями и используют, как дополнительное место для хранения порошков, кондиционеров и тазов для стирки. Раздвижные панели позволят скрыть все это хозяйственное «безобразие».

Helpful advice. Now in the fashion of ekostyle, which is easy to implement in this room with a minimum of costs. Use different textures and materials to decorate the walls. One, for example, trim under a small light brickwork. For another, choose materials that imitate bamboo. By the way, the trunks of this bamboo are placed as an original design element. The rug with imitation under the green grass and hanging pedestals without legs of light tones will complement the "natural" atmosphere.

       

Entrance hall and corridor

The design of the hallway should be simple, without superfluous pretentiousness. The cluttering of furniture elements and small details will destroy an already tight room. In the hallway, instead of the standard hangers with a heap of outerwear, modern panel wardrobes are installed. The assortment of these products allows you to choose furniture for every taste and for any style. Expand the space of the mirror door surface. The floor is covered with a laminate or a neat tile of bright colors. To resonate with the riot of colors will be chairs of original shapes and catchy colors. A narrow shelving in the ceiling with a pair of decorative vases or sculptures does not take much space and will complement the situation. Multi-level lighting in the form of a set of miniature light bulbs on the ceiling and floor lamps on long, curved legs will visually widen the entrance hall. On the shelves of the shelves are also added light sources, which beautifully emphasize exquisite souvenirs. Unconventional solution will be the placement in the hallway of a glass cabinet with books. In general, this room is not designed for library storage, but for fusion or eclecticism such a move is fully justified.

       

Balcony

In a one-room apartment with an area of ​​only fifty square meters, a balcony or loggia will not only be an observation point with a beautiful view of the park or the street, but also a separate study. If the family is large, and the dimensions of housing leave much to be desired, then the battle for each square will begin. For example, the room has nowhere to receive guests, the landlady dreams of her workshop or the riot of the flora at home, but there is simply nowhere to place all this. The decoration of the balcony for a separate functional area will be a real option for saving space. Then you should start warming the balcony or loggia. After that, you can demolish the balcony door and window to combine the room with an additional room. In cases where a separate office or workshop is located on the balcony, it is best to leave this functional area as a separate room. For the rest zone, a narrow sofa or a pair of soft armchairs paired with a small coffee table are placed on the loggia. Particular attention should be paid to the decoration of walls and floor. The plan for the reorganization of the balcony needs to be prepared and proceed to the finishing works thoroughly, so that the balcony no longer resembled a "humbler" and a place for drying laundry, but became a full-fledged room. Window frames are installed with thermal insulation, plastic double-glazed windows are ideal for these purposes. The floor can be installed with heating, the walls are trimmed with natural wood, but not the lining, which has long become "beaten" and bored material.

Styles of design

The loft style came to us from the largest US cities. Previously, according to his canons, the rooms were formerly uninhabited. It is suitable for odnushki in 50 m2 of the 137th series. In such houses, high ceilings, which remotely echo with industrial premises and dwellings in attics. The loft is characterized by the use of rough textures and natural materials. On the finish you can save: brick or concrete walls are only welcome. No loopholes and rough zoning loft does not recognize, so the owners of two-bedroom apartments will have to think about redevelopment. It is based on a combination of stylish, expensive furniture for "filling" with a rough finish of the room itself.

       

Ethnic style is present in every country. It is characterized by the use of national motives, which overlap with elements of modern trends. If it is a question of Russian ethno, then traditional painted patterns are used in upholstery, wallpaper or curtains. Popular ethnic style of "safari" with the use of "wild" colors, imitating animal skins, painted clay pots, striped blankets, upholstery from natural fabrics and rough texture of the floor covering. For the Arab ethno, materials with rich silver embroidery are used, with which the room is literally wrapped, and simple furnishings.

       

Art deco is also gaining momentum. For the style is characterized by the use of elite furniture, which without superfluous words one of its kind speaks of chic. Materials are selected only natural: wood, metal, granite or marble. For decoration use leather, fur, suede.

       

Modern style is characterized by the use of plywood, plastic and artificial fabrics. The direction is universal and does not recognize strict limits, therefore it freely admits both bright colors and pastel colors. In apartments decorated in a modern style, frequent "guests" are elements from other directions that do not look foreign in the room. It is for this reason that the style is suitable for fans of simplicity and saving on materials.

       

Marine style loves peace of mind in the colors and softness of the lines. Apartments that are designed in accordance with the principles of this direction, remotely reminiscent of the atmosphere of cozy cottages by the sea. Blue, white and blue become the color base for furniture, walls, ceiling and curtains. Welcome to the use of "marine" elements: shells, decorative anchors, ropes and paintings with images of sea battles and ships. The original addition will be reproductions of the famous seascapes of Aivazovsky. From the materials emphasis is placed on natural wood and canvas.
