  • 01.06.2019

When designing the interior of a small room, they mainly adhere to two tasks: rationally use every centimeter or even millimeter of the available area and make it beautiful and harmonious at the same time. To accomplish these tasks, there are many ready ideas tested in thousands of rooms. They will be discussed.

General principles and ideas

Regardless of the purpose of a small room, there is general principles their design. This is far from dogma, but adhering to these rules, it is easy to create a harmonious interior of a small room on your own, and not at the expense of functionality and convenience.

Styles for small spaces

The very first thing you need to decide is the style. This makes it much easier to design, select Decoration Materials, furniture, accessories. Small-sized rooms should not be cluttered with objects; there should not be many accessories in them. The more free space remains, the more spacious the room seems. Because not all styles are suitable. The following will look good:

All of them are characterized by smoothly painted walls, clear lines, a minimum of details. All this will play into the hands of small room. Read more about almost all of these styles.

Color selection

It has long been known that light colors visually enlarge the premises. Light colors are not necessarily white, although white and its shades are used very often. They make the interior lighter and weightless, especially in combination with light floors and ceilings.

If you decide to make the walls colored, you need to remember the rule of three. Applied to color design its essence is that to create a harmonious interior, three colors must be present. The first is basic, there can be a lot of it. Two additional can be in very small quantities. If we talk about design in small rooms, the walls are painted in the base color and they should be light. Furniture - either the base color (maybe a very close shade) or one of the additional ones. Accessories and textiles - complementary colors.

If you take a closer look at the photos that seem most attractive to you, you will find that there are three colors in them. Can look good and more saturated different colors environment, but only a good designer can put everything together correctly.

But how to choose a trio of colors? There are tables of matching colors that designers use, but you can focus on your own taste or peep at the photo. The most attractive combination can be implemented in your room.

Ceiling decoration

Most often, the ceiling is made white. Not necessarily snow-white, some shades and tones are often used. What you should not do is paint the ceiling in a dark or bright color. This can only be used in a very high room with excellent lighting, and it is better that the ceiling is glossy. Dark colors make the room feel much lower. If you need to remove the "well effect" - this is good way. In other cases, it is better not to experiment, although with the right lighting it may not be bad, but this also requires considerable design experience.

Dark ceiling - a controversial decision

In rooms with low ceilings, there are several ways to visually make them look higher through the play of color and light. The first is to make the walls a tone lighter. At the same time, the boundary between the walls and the ceiling is lost, which is perceived by us as a higher room.

The second way is glossy ceiling. The surface reflects the environment, which again deceives our eyesight. From modern technologies this effect is only stretch ceiling, but the choice of shades and the degree of gloss and reflection is wide. Just be careful with gloss. It reflects everything. And what is on the cabinets too. Therefore, in such a room there should be perfect order.

The third is lighting around the perimeter or directed from the walls to the center. This option is usually implemented on two-level or multi-level ceilings. This stepping in itself also, as it were, lifts the ceiling up, and with the backlight effect it is further enhanced. Just thinking, do not create too small rooms complex structures. They are good for spacious rooms, not for small rooms.

All these methods can be combined, which is often done. It's important not to overdo it.

Floor decoration

The choice of color - light or dark - largely depends on the style, but there are those in which both options are acceptable. What then to choose? Focus on own desires. If you want to get a sense of stability in the room, a dark floor is more suitable. If lightness is required - your choice is a light floor.

The dark floor "grounds" the interior, but gives a sense of stability

With the help of floor design, you can also achieve visual magnification rooms, however, floor boards, laminate or parquet are suitable for this. Traditionally, they are laid parallel to the rays of light emanating from the window. To achieve the effect we need, it is necessary to lay the coating at an angle with respect to the front door. This breaks up the perspective and visually makes the room look bigger. Yes, this laying method is more difficult, and when using it, there is more waste - not all trimmings can be attached, but the effect is good.

Furniture

Small spaces require functional and comfortable furniture, while concise forms with clear lines look better. Styles are also pushing for such a choice - they all need strict, simple lines.

When planning, choose the environment so that the horizontal surfaces are at different levels. This makes the interior more dynamic. If you put everything on the same level, it will be too monotonous and flat.

Another recommendation - do not load too much space. In small rooms you need to put the necessary. It is advisable to avoid a large number of massive objects. If this suits your idea, put the furniture on metal legs. They seem to lift the object above the floor, creating interesting effects.

To increase functionality when using a small space allows furniture that changes its shape or purpose. It is also called "transformers". Everyone knows the sofa bed, chair bed. They have been used for a long time, they only change appearance and mechanisms become more convenient. There is also a wardrobe bed (the bed rises and hides in the body) and a considerable number of similar things (a transforming sofa in the photo below).

There are very interesting and functional furniture options. These are the so-called transformers - objects that can change their shape and sometimes even purpose.

The application of these rules is not mandatory, but it will allow you to develop a beautiful and harmonious design small room.

Interior ideas for small rooms for various purposes

Now let's specifically see how all of the above is implemented in the design of premises for various purposes. It is clear that there is a significant difference between the design of the living room, nursery and bedroom.

The only room in the apartment

V one-room apartment the room should be super functional. After all, it is used both as a living room and as a bedroom. First of all, you should think about the sleeping place. There are several solutions. The most obvious and common is to put a folding sofa. There are different designs, but the essence of this does not change. The only drawback of this solution is, after all, it is not a bed and sleeping on the sofa is not entirely comfortable. However, this is the most common option.

A sofa bed is often placed in a small room.

This option is acceptable if one person lives in an apartment. If there are two people, this is no longer very convenient: someone wants to sleep, someone else can’t sleep. In this case, they try to fence off part of the room with a translucent partition and place a bed behind it. The rest is furnished as a mini-living room.

The partition can be made from any material. The only condition: if it encloses the area near the window, it must let in enough light. In the photo above, the room is divided by a translucent glass wall. With an explicit separation, space is not fragmented. It remains whole. Another option is to designate the area with a plasterboard openwork partition or make a partition in the form of shelves.

If you still want more privacy, there is an option with sliding partitions that work like doors in wardrobes.

They can move apart in different directions (photo on the right) or fold to one of the sides. If such a partition is made mirrored, it will also visually expand the space.

Is there some more non-standard options setting up a bed in a single living room. For example, if the ceilings allow, you can move the bed to the ceiling. To do this, they build a solid structure in the form of a closet or podium, and make a bed on the “roof”.

There is another option with that de podium. Make a working or living area on it, and hide a pull-out bed under the flooring. It is difficult to imagine a more rational use of space.

The bed "leaves" under the podium

You can also play with the design of the bed. They can fall from the ceiling, be disguised as a closet. Such beds are already on sale and are called "bed-wardrobe".

Folding bed-wardrobe

In general, there are enough solutions. The interior of a small room in a one-room apartment can be both beautiful and functional.

small bedroom

Even if you do not have a studio apartment, a small bedroom is far from uncommon. For many, its area does not exceed 10 sq.m. In this case, only the necessary items are left from the situation. Mandatory bed, bedside tables. Everything else - if the interior of a small room is not very overloaded.

Small bedroom - nothing more

Without a closet in the bedroom it is very inconvenient, but a massive item takes up too much space. It can be replaced by a sliding wardrobe or. In fact, they differ in size and content. The dressing room must be at least 1.2 m deep (so that you can enter). In long and narrow bedrooms with front door on the short side, you can fence off a place right at the entrance. This makes the room more regular in shape - closer to the square, and such rooms are perceived as more spacious.

If the entrance to the bedroom is on long wall, under the dressing room, you can take one of the corners or also the end wall. It all depends on the specific layout. If there is the slightest possibility, allocate such a place. You will be amazed at how many things proper organization can fit in there.

One of the more traditional options is to fill the wall opposite the bed with furniture. But it will have to be made to order - in the entire wall. So the bedroom will have modern look. The design style of this “wall” is chosen based on the general style.

Another idea for arranging a small bedroom is to build the head of the bed into the furniture wall. From the point of view of Feng Shui, this is wrong, but from the point of view of rationality, it is an excellent option.

It is difficult to come up with anything else in such a narrowly specialized room. The main task is to choose the right color design.

Children's room

The concept of "children's room" is quite extensible. This is also a room for children of preschool and school age up to teenagers. As you understand, the design and content are significantly different, but the ideas are similar.

The main way to save space is to make bunk bed. At the same time, there can be one sleeping place - upstairs, and on the "ground floor" it is equipped workplace. This is the option that suits both toddlers and older children. The sizes of the beds are also not very different: children grow too fast, so they basically buy teenage beds right away, adding a “childish” entourage with bedspreads, pictures and other accessories.

Beds are built into the furniture wall
Reliable option. Fits well into the interior of a small room and saves space At the bottom of the desktop, on top - the bed

If you are afraid of heights, you can make another type of bed - with a pull-out second bed. Also a good option.

If you don’t need a second bed, drawers for toys or things can be made under the bed. In the interior of a small room, everything is subordinated to the task of optimally using the entire available area, while freeing up as much free space as possible.

Optimal use of free space - the main motto of the design of small rooms

For older children, they use almost the same techniques, only in a different design.

When designing the interior of a small children's room, use the above rules: three colors, multi-level surfaces, no unnecessary details.

Small square living room

No matter how much you would like to stick wallpaper with large pattern, you shouldn't do it. Unless in fragments or on one wall, using, otherwise they will “eat up” the space and the “box” effect will appear. You will feel almost on the physical plane how the walls are pressing on you. The best choice- plain walls in pastel colors.

One wall is finished with wood or stone - one of fashion trends the last time

Here the invoice can be different. It could be decorative. textured plaster, wallpaper with an embossed pattern or fiberglass with a texture for painting. It is very fashionable now to finish one of the walls with wood or stone (stone-like tiles or flagstone). All these are ways to diversify a not too large set of furniture that is usually present in a small living room. Most often it is a sofa, two armchairs, coffee table and TV. It doesn't seem like a very large set, but there are many variations. First, there is furniture. different forms, styles and colors. And the number of combinations is very large. Some of them are in the photo gallery.

Most Russians inherited from the "stagnant times" disproportionate, rectangular, narrow rooms, more reminiscent of solid corridors than a full-fledged room for arranging personal space.

narrow room

narrow room createsa lot of difficulties in terms of interior design. It is quite difficult to create a cozy room, no matter how you rearrange the minimum set of furniture, but, nevertheless, there is always a way out.

Redistribution of space

One of the simplest and quick ways the transformation of narrow rooms can be considered the division of one large space into a smaller pair, using plasterboard partitions. The partition itself does not take up much space, and the resulting premises acquire a more or less regular square section configuration, especially if it is possible to increase their area by demolishing other walls.

Changing the space with decor elements

modern building industry, latest materials, paints and original design solutions of specialists can radically change the space of a narrow room without building partitions. It has long been known that light, color, well-chosen accessories and furniture can change the space beyond recognition. So, for example, a small bright folding sofa placed across a narrow room zones the space by dividing it into two working rooms:

  • Having disassembled the sofa, you get a full-fledged bedroom;
  • By assembling it and placing a couple of small wicker chairs and a small glass coffee table, you turn an intimate sleeping area into a cozy living room;
  • Behind the back of the sofa, you can easily equip an office or study place for a student by substituting a chest of drawers or a regular desk to the back.

In addition, a high room can also serve as a room divider. bookcase, and an openwork whatnot, one of the double-sided fireplaces or even an LCD TV on the nightstand. Now it's worth paying attention to how you can change the space with the help of light and colors.

The play of color and light in a narrow room

You should pay attention to the fact that the color palette, correctly selected in each case, is visually able to expand the space. Here you can not do without the brave design solutions. So, for example, the walls of which are painted in light bright or pastel colors will look more voluminous. Some interior designers use this method: the transverse wall of a narrow room is pasted over with wallpaper with a geometric pattern located horizontally, and on the longitudinal walls, on the contrary, wallpaper with a vertical pattern is pasted. The main thing here is to choose a wallpaper with a similar, uniform pattern, then the unity of space will be preserved and the appearance of an extended room will be created.

You can use a very popular design technique - the game of contrasts. But here it is important not to "overdo it" when choosing colors, otherwise instead of cozy interior it can turn out to be a tasteless, eye-catching room.

Experienced designers in such cases use a combination of dark and light tones of colors. Most often, the transverse walls are covered with paint in dark tones, and the longitudinal ones, respectively, are light. Sometimes gradient wall painting is used. It's when one is over dark color smoothly turns into a light scale of the same shade, or vice versa, a contrasting one. So, from red you can go to pink or cream color, warm lilac will look good with a transition to cold blue or cold pale yellow or golden color.

Trying to transform a narrow room, use the "play of light". Correctly directed rays can expand it, but the direction must be strictly horizontal. Interestingly, light strips located under the ceiling and directed vertically raise the ceiling and it seems that the room is somewhat higher than it actually is.

will appear even bigger. Choose long (floor-length) curtains and tulle in the same color scheme as the walls. Give preference to light flowing fabrics that do not weigh down the space and do not focus attention on themselves. If possible, replace blackout curtains with gas tulle. This will allow maximum light into the room.

3. Make the most of the space. Each piece of furniture, especially in a small room, should have its own purpose. Try to make the most of it. For example, a furniture wall is a great option for those who live in a one-room apartment. It does not take up much space and combines several types of furniture at once: a wardrobe, a bookcase, a chest of drawers, a TV cabinet, a mini-bar, shelves for souvenirs, photographs and other small things.

4. Multifunctional furniture. It is not necessary to approach the issue radically - to purchase a bed that turns into a wall, or a table that folds into a coffee table, especially since such innovative design ideas are not cheap. The most common and affordable way save space - this is a sofa bed. At night, it is a comfortable double bed, which is assembled in the morning into a full-fledged sofa on which you can receive guests. In addition, usually, under the cover of the sofa there is a place for bed linen, blankets and pillows.

5. Reflective and transparent surfaces. Mirrors and other reflective interior elements can also visually enlarge the space and make the room brighter due to the reflected light. It is desirable that the mirror is opposite the window. Wardrobe with large mirrored doors or wall with mirror tiles visually enlarge the room twice. Transparent interior items made of durable plastic, less often glass, (for example, tables, chairs) allow you to visually expand the space. Furniture with transparent legs creates the effect of lightness and soaring. These simple ways allow you to effectively furnish a small room in an apartment or house.

6. Zoning of the premises. To make the room more functional, divide it into zones. For example, you need to separate working area from the bed. Use different color combinations, divide the space with screens, curtains or bookshelves. Use different sources light to create the illusion of two different rooms. Arrange furniture around the room so that it is accessible and you can move freely around the room. Remember: the more floor space is free, the more spacious the room will seem.

7. Avoid clutter. This is especially noticeable in small space. Do not "litter" the room with unnecessary things. Determine your priorities: get rid of what you do not need, hide what will someday be useful in closets and drawers, and for those things that you use constantly, determine the most accessible places.

8. More light. Natural and artificial light have the ability to expand the space. Even if the window is large, try not to cover it with curtains. If the room is not on the sunny side, you can use built-in light sources around the perimeter of the room. Choose a small chandelier, a large one will look ridiculous. Ceiling transparent chandelier - the best option. See the article on rooms, this will help to achieve a visual increase in space and better equip a small room, the photo examples below clearly demonstrate this.

9. Small furniture for a small room. Refuse bulky interior items, especially if they do not carry a functional load. Large chairs can be abandoned, replacing them with no less comfortable chairs. A small folding table is useful both for receiving guests and for home office. Replace the luxurious corner sofa with a more modest size. It is no less comfortable and takes up much less space.

In the beginning, it is necessary to establish the compositional center, which in any bedroom is, of course, the bed.

Attention: When matched for her the best place, then it will not be difficult to figure out the location of other elements of furniture and decor.

So:

  • In order for the room not to become too crowded, it is better to leave free space in the center of the bedroom. You can arrange all the furniture around the perimeter of the bedroom so that there is no free space between it. Bedside tables should not be higher than the bed itself.

How to visually expand the space

Of course, many people dream of a large spacious bedroom, but not always it really is. But even in a small room, you can achieve the desired effect by applying several methods of optical illusion.

Glass and mirror elementsA large mirror will visually expand the space, and a few small ones will be able to slightly hide the boundaries of the room.
  • It is best to choose a place for mirrors opposite the window, as this way they will be able to reflect natural light and fill the room with it.
  • If, for some reason, it is not possible to place mirrors in the room, then they can be replaced with mirror surfaces, for example, stained-glass windows, tiles, panels, etc.
  • Furniture in a small room can be mirrored, such as a table, shelves, racks or doors. This will minimize the occupancy of the room.
Glossy finishesTo visually expand the space, you can give preference to glossy paint for wall decoration. Attention: But it is very important that the shade of such coatings is not too bright, as this will negatively affect the psyche of people in the room.
  • It is better to choose bed calm tones.

  • Stretch ceilings, made in gloss, can also visually expand the space in the room. With good lighting, they allow you to stretch the ceilings. Currently, there are a huge number of different variations of the pattern for such ceilings.
  • An excellent solution for a bedroom can be a ceiling that has a pattern in the form of an imitation of the starry sky.
Illusion with wallpaperIn order to achieve this or that visual effect, you can use photo wallpapers, the choice of which is huge today. In most cases, they depict natural landscapes or views of various cities.

LightWith help proper lighting you can also achieve some visual effects in a small bedroom. It is better to abandon the classic central bright lamp and break the room into several light zones. So, for example, if several lamps or sconces are located around the perimeter of the room, the ceiling will visually rise when they are turned on. You can also create multi-level lighting in the bedroom.
BalconyIt’s great if a balcony adjoins the bedroom, as it can really expand the area of ​​​​the room. It can become an extension of the room, becoming a place to read or work. This can be done by placing certain pieces of furniture on it. The balcony also carries a large number of daylight natural light.

If there are no windows in the bedroom

Sometimes in a one-room apartment big room divided into several small rooms, thus highlighting the bedroom. But as a result, the resulting room may not have windows at all.
This does not always mean that the bedroom will be dark and gloomy.
You can make it more comfortable with the help of several tricks:
