The design project of the studio apartment of 40 sq. M can be either simple or rather original. Initially, the apartment studio was invented in the US as an economy class housing for people of creative professions and young professionals. Then this fashion went to Europe. Now already in our country it is not possible to imagine a new building without studio apartments. This housing is much cheaper than standard apartments and is multifunctional. In one room, divided by partitions, there is a kitchen and a living room. This is the main difference between an apartment-studio and a standard one-room apartment. And you need to understand that you need to visually divide the room into the kitchen - a place for cooking, a reception room and a rest area for sleeping. If you like more space, you can divide the apartment into only two zones: a kitchen and a living area, or replace the reception area with a children's area, if you have a child or plan to appear soon.

Decorating the room
We will begin to get acquainted with the design with the finishes. Let's consider a classical variant of design of an apartment-studio for one, two persons. In general, most often, such apartments are rented without decoration, only bare walls. Do not forget a few rules:
- First you need to prepare the surface, the walls and floor must be level;
- it is good to think out from what material the partition for the bathroom will be made, it is necessary to take into account the moisture resistance and noise insulation of the material;
- quality material is more expensive, you need to save with the mind.
Usually the kitchen area is already allocated. Most one-bedroom apartments are now sold with built-in kitchen appliances.
Arrangement of one-room studio apartment will begin from the walls. The walls in the apartment can be pasted with simple wallpaper, having previously divided the entire room into three zones. You can use the wallpaper for painting or simply paint the walls. First you need to choose a color scheme. It depends only on your taste and imagination. Each zone may differ from another color or even a finishing material. Let's admit the walls located in the kitchen area between tables and hanging cupboards, we will tile pastel or vice versa of bright colors, it all depends on the color of cabinets and your desire.
The design project divides the studio apartment into three approximately equal sections. The living room from the bedroom is separated by huge sliding doors.

The walls above the cabinets can be simply painted, maximally selecting the color of the paint for the color of the tile. The walls in the living room area are made in a different color and from a different material, as an option it can be wall-paper. Do not forget that usually there is a window in the center of the room that needs to be changed or painted so that it harmonizes with the interior of a one-room apartment. If there is a financial opportunity, and a floor above the fifth, you can install a panoramic window, which will increase the amount of light in the room. And it will look stylish, expensive and beautiful. If there are two windows in the room and one of them is opposite to the kitchen area, you can use it to arrange the dining area on it by replacing the window sill, its expansion. For a rest zone, places for a dream you can use printed wallpapers. So, using the finishing of the walls, we zoned the apartment. The main thing is that everything should be harmonious and, as it were, flow from one another.
The next step is to think over the ceiling finish and lighting so as to emphasize this separation. To do this, you can use lamps of different configurations and colors. Or lamps of different lengths.
Interior of a one-room apartment is impossible without a floor design. And the completion of the division into zones should be finishing the floor. The floor covering in the rest and sleep zones can be the same both in color and structure. Coverage of the same area of the kitchen may differ in color and in the material used. For example, in the kitchen, the laminate is used in a darker shade, and in the residential area and recreation area, the laminate is a few tones lighter or generally the floor is parquet. Although, if you consider the arrangement of square meters of the floor on the side of the cleaning comfort, the covering can be the same, and it can be divided into zones using various mats.

Furniture and household appliances
It is necessary to think carefully about what furniture is needed? First you need to decide what is best for sleeping, a sofa or a sofa bed, or it can be a rollaway bed, or it will generally be a chair-bed, or perhaps a built-in bed, which during the day generally looks like a cupboard. We need to consider where the bedding will be stored. In general, furniture for apartment studio accommodation should not be cumbersome. It should be practical and functional. It is better to use wardrobes, small tables on wheels, various screens that will emphasize the division of the room into zones.
Now you need to separate the kitchen area from the rest area. You can use a small sofa for this, placing it back to the kitchen area. The same sofa will serve as a place to receive guests. If the place allows you to place two couches next to the couch, or, conversely, if there is a deficit in the area, you can put only chairs.

Next, arrange the kitchen itself. There must be several surfaces, one for cooking and another for dining, which can be made as a bar counter, or by increasing the window sill or simply by placing a transformer table. To complement the interior of a one-room apartment in the kitchen area will help stylish stools or chairs. It's up to you, depending on the layout and financial possibilities.
In the recreation area, in addition to seating, it is necessary to equip a table for the reception of guests. The table is better to use a small wheel, good if it will be glass.
Think about whether you need a table for your computer, or your computer will be replaced by a laptop. The TV can be put on a low chest of drawers or hung on a wall in order to save space. The TV brand needs to be chosen from needs. Perhaps it will be a home theater. It is also necessary to decide what other household appliances are needed, and where it will be located.
A small studio apartment thanks to a competent layout becomes a full-fledged dwelling with a separate bedroom, which is fenced off by a stylish glass partition.

Bathroom Decoration
Separate bathroom and toilet can do, perhaps, will not work, or they will be very small. Therefore, in order to save space, we will install a toilet bowl, a compact sink and a shower cabin or a small bath. The walls can be decorated with decorative plaster, floor the tile on the floor, and simply paint the ceiling with a moisture-resistant paint.
