During development individual project We take into account the following features:

The design of a one-room apartment is determined by the composition of the family. If one person or a married couple lives, the kitchen can be combined with a room, which will create more spacious housing. For a family with children, on the contrary, it may be necessary to construct partitions or use other solutions to create compact areas for family members.
It is always relevant to visually expand the space behind the design of an apartment in light colors.
If you have an insulated loggia (for example, if you have a nice new building), the living space can be expanded due to it. It is also possible to carry out preliminary high-quality insulation of loggias in old houses.

There is never too much space! Big square usually spent irrationally. And those of us who live in one-room small apartments, willy-nilly, get used to the fact that we need to use every centimeter of our home in the most thoughtful way. Let's look at the best ideas for designing a one-room apartment.

Interior design of a small apartment

Most of us will not always be able to think through the interior of a one-room apartment correctly on our own; we often have to resort to the help of professional interior studios. This is especially true for project development, since it is very difficult to combine all functions in a small space. A small apartment should have a recreation area, a work area, a place for meals, a children's area, and at the same time, everyone in a small apartment should have free space!!! Not an easy task... But there is no need to worry, I will give you many tips and rules for arranging and renovating a small apartment, which will become the subject of admiration for others.

This section contains the most interesting tips designers who will significantly ease your headache about small-sized interiors. So, let's begin:

Minimalism can be considered the best style for decorating the interior of a small apartment.. And this does not mean at all that the only furniture in the house will be a sofa, or even worse, a mattress on the floor. No, this does not apply to the minimalism movement at all. You really don’t need a lot of furniture, but each item should combine several purposes at the same time. When choosing furniture, pay attention to transformable items. It could be a table that turns into a bed in the evening. Or a sofa with a built-in tabletop instead. And of course, ideal option For small apartments, custom-made furniture will be made. This will significantly increase the free space, since the furniture will occupy only that part of the room that is necessary.
The interior should be “airy”- we will definitely need mirror surfaces, partitions made of thin translucent fabric or frosted tempered glass. Small spaces need to be zoned correctly!!! If there is no need for partitions, we can delimit the room when finishing. You just need to combine finishing materials correctly. The floor can also be covered different materials- for example, in the kitchen and in the hallway, and the guest area is separated by laminate. At the same time, it would also be nice to lay out a small rug in the “sleeping area”. This is one of possible options zoning in a small space. We still need to emphasize different zones in the apartment with light, then the overall picture in the house will become accurate.
Dark shades or, conversely, too bright shades cannot be used everywhere in a small apartment. Even if you really want to, you can and even need to make a couple of accents. The interior looks very unusual, in which the ceiling is made in a rich dark color, and the walls and floor are made white. Or a more traditional option, when everything is the other way around. The ceiling and walls are light or white, and the floor is made in dark colors. Well, naturally, it is better to give preference to light shades.
If the apartment has non-load-bearing walls that can be dismantled without permission, then it is better to do this. They cut up space and make small things even smaller. Studio apartments may not be suitable for everyone, but on an area of 36 square meters you can fit a lot useful items, which, if properly arranged, will turn the apartment into 56 square meters... Only, unfortunately, visually.
In Khrushchev houses there is a tiny room - a magical pantry, in which many people still store various rubbish. Here you can convert it into a closet yourself. And this can be not just a wardrobe, but also a full-fledged storage system, if you approach the issue wisely. Then we will no longer have to install a bulky box called a wardrobe in the room! And now we have a couple more meters and it will be free.
In apartments with high ceilings you can arrange sleeping area above ground!!! And it's not a joke. A loft bed is quite appropriate for adults and respectable uncles and aunts. And for greater strength, the base of our nest can be made as open or closed cabinet. But the frame must be strong, it is best to order such a miracle nest from experienced furniture makers who will calculate the load according to our, dare I say it, dimensions.
To make our one-room apartments visually more spacious, we need to avoid overcrowding one single room - stop buying figurines while traveling! Windows should also not be overloaded with fabric; it is better to use thin veils or rather than lambrequins. You can hide from neighbors' eyes if you install it on glass thick fabric. And by the way, I forgot to say about household appliances. Small apartments must have mobile equipment, or rather the owners, that is, you and me, must have it. It is better to install the TV on a swivel bracket, and immediately mount the acoustics on the ceiling of the room.

A small one-room apartment should be functional and modern; grandma’s closets should be removed and replaced with transformable pieces of furniture.

About the design of an apartment in Khrushchev

A room, a kitchen, an entrance hall, a combined bathroom, a small storage room and a balcony, if the floor is not the first - that’s all the space of a one-room Khrushchev apartment in Moscow and other cities in the post-Soviet space. There is only about 28 square meters of area on which we must place everything we need. I can already see the rounded eyes of the readers, and the silent question - how?!? The organization of space in such apartments is on par with functionality. Nothing is impossible - and that's true.

I'll start from the entrance. The first room is . Usually this narrow corridor, in which everything is full, but there is nowhere to step. To make the hallway in a Khrushchev building spacious and at the same time preserve the functions assigned to it, you can do this:

If there is an adjacent storage room, we convert it into a spacious closet, and on the hallway wall you can hang a couple of hooks for casual clothes. A mirror will visually expand the space and is convenient to use before leaving the house. Can be installed narrow shoe rack with a seat on top or put poufs with voids inside.
The geometry of the hallway in a Khrushchev building can be different. For elongated rooms, you can use a compact wardrobe or. But a mirror, preferably a tall one, should be in any home. But unnecessary details (vases, shelves for small items, etc.) must be abandoned. It is better to make the room light, and this applies not only to the color of the hallway, but also to the lighting. It is most beneficial to install the light source close to the mirror.

The second room that needs rationalization is the Khrushchev kitchen. Usually six squares, we do not have the possibility of transferring communications (gas, sewerage). Therefore, they usually select a set of furniture with built-in appliances. The dining area is best placed near the window, and the table can be attached to the wall and removed if necessary. The window sill in the kitchen must be used. Moreover, if you install a wide window sill, you can make a table or additional workspace from it. The set is placed either on 2 walls, or along one. I personally have been bored with the last option for a long time.

Finally, the most interesting thing - living room in a one-room Khrushchev house. The task can be in several directions:

Arrange the living room and...
Combine the work area with a relaxation area, living room and. This option is more complicated and is relevant for family people.

It is better to connect the bathroom if the layout allows. Load-bearing walls apartment buildings can't be touched. There is no need to increase the area; it is better to install a toilet and washbasin. A washing machine put it in the kitchen in a set with built-in appliances. Or, leave it in the same place.

Our room will combine several purposes at once - a guest room, a relaxation area and a work space. We choose compact furniture, a sofa or bed with drawers for linen, poufs or armchairs are also better to take with storage compartments, a table is compact and transformable. At all the mobility of furniture and the ability to use it in several areas is very important point at the time of buying.

The interior should become cozy, functional and comfortable, so I would recommend that you buy only what you can really imagine in your apartment. And before buying, it’s better to already have some clear layout of items in the apartment in order to determine in advance right size. The Internet can help you!

Interior of an apartment with an area of 40 sq m

Area 40 square meters- quite sufficient to accommodate not only essential items and furniture. 3-4 people (for example, a family with a child) can easily live on it and not get in each other’s way. Only all this will become possible if you arrange the furniture correctly and use every centimeter of space wisely.

The first thing I want to focus on is storage systems. Corner wardrobes or a full wall tall wardrobe with sliding doors, these are the most acceptable options for small apartments. The storage system can be placed in the hallway, if its width is more than 300 cm, then there will be enough space for passage, and a lot will fit in such a cabinet, of course, provided that it is made to order and its height corresponds to the height of the room. By the way, the floor and ceiling levels throughout the entire area of the apartment should be the same. Then the idea of the apartment will be uniform, different zones are highlighted with materials that match in color. Although it is possible to make the floor entirely from one coating. Unless you lay tiles in the bathroom. Although it is much more practical if the tiles are also in the kitchen, and part of the hallway nearby front door can be paved with floor tiles. If you decide to do this, then you need to monitor the floor level after finishing.

Doors should open compactly, so I would recommend using folding doors. Give up swing doors, they eat up a lot of space, which is better used more efficiently.

Compact and functional furniture is the best friend of small apartments.

You can use folding or sliding (sliding) furniture. If you make a podium on the floor, you can hide a bed or linen drawers in it, or you can buy a wardrobe-bed or a transformer that can easily be turned into a full-fledged bed if turned over. In general, any transformable furniture will be an excellent option for one-room apartments. no exception - immediately buy one that has at least a bottom drawer for storing linen or toys, and even better, extendable beds that grow with the child.

You can at least turn it into another “closet”; shelves on the sides, a podium or similar solutions will allow you to remove all unnecessary things from the house and free up more space for a small sofa for guests. You can put it nearby stylish table, which will be the work area. And hang open shelves on the walls for small items.

One-room apartment 46-50 sq m

How to arrange several zones from a one-room apartment up to 50 square meters, and at the same time leave maximum free space? Of course, the ideal option would be not to build walls, but to demolish them. But more often than not, they don’t exist anyway, because apartments with an area of 46 to 5 square meters are often immediately considered studios. But zoning is still necessary, you can’t do without it. You can’t just put furniture in a room and consider this room comfortable. The area does not seem to be small; for comparison, two-room apartments in Khrushchev’s five-story buildings have an area of about 42 square meters. But we have 50 of them, which is good news.

The techniques that are used to design small apartments are similar to each other - light colors, multi-level lighting, proper arrangement of furniture, functionality of the room, and then everything depends on the desire of the owner. This also applies to the choice of stylistic direction; the designer must take into account the number of permanent residents and other nuances, so that in the end the project becomes comfortable for everyone.

Mirror and glass surfaces, air niches and partitions, well-equipped storage system, thoughtful arrangement household appliances in the kitchen and so on - all this is very important. Decor in a small apartment does not have to be everywhere, it is enough to put it in several places interesting items, and put all the little things in closed shelves. If you need a sleeping and relaxation area, then you can install not very wide bed and fence it off from the rest of the area with a screen, partition, structure made of plasterboard sheets, plexiglass and other materials. If you need to install a children's bed, you can install it in the parents' sleeping area, but it is better not to hang the TV there. And install it in the guest area on a bracket in front of a small cozy sofa, which, if necessary, can be expanded and used as a second bed.

You can use any materials for finishing, but it is better to focus on matching collections. On the one hand, to support the idea of zoning, and on the other, not to spoil the overall impression. Still, the interior should remain stylish and original, but without frills.

Apartment interior for a family with a child

It is impossible to give a clear answer to how to properly furnish a one-room apartment for a family with a child. Much depends on the area of the room, the needs of each family member, and the age of the child.

It is important to focus on the functionality of the entire space of the apartment; not a single corner should be wasted, but forcing all the furniture into one line along the wall is also not rational. So first, we need to think about additional systems storage - you can make opening podiums and install a bed on top, desk or something different. Loft beds are perfect for a child in a one-room apartment, especially if it has a mechanism with a roll-out table and a built-in wardrobe. This way the child will have his own corner, and it won’t take up much space.

There can be no talk of installing a bed for adults in a one-room apartment. Adults will have to sleep on a fold-out sofa. But they can also be convenient, and some models have orthopedic mattress and modest size.

In the hallway or pantry, we again install shelves and make lighting so that you can easily navigate there. In general, the light in a small apartment should be installed in several levels, this will further delimit the space of the living room and highlight zones. It is better to use sliding doors in a small one-room apartment, but if you want to install hinged doors, then they should open towards the wall. It’s just better to choose a canvas that is as close in color as possible to the wall decor, then it won’t catch your eye and the room won’t be visually reduced.

We combine the bathtub with the toilet, and install a set with built-in appliances. It is better to hide the refrigerator behind the cabinet door, and make the dining area more compact - you can use poufs with opening seats, and instead of a backrest, hang several soft decorative pillows.

The designers have prepared many ready-made options for you; the projects show the location of the furniture and highlight all the zones.

How to properly renovate an apartment

To make a one-room apartment comfortable, cozy and functional, you need to do a lot of work to prepare the room. Competent repairs must be planned. And the stages of repair are as follows:

Replacement of old communications taking into account zoning - sockets should be in the places where they are needed, and not 3 meters before the devices, the same with other communications.
Leveling the floor taking into account the height of the finishing (tile adhesive plus tile thickness, laminate backing and the panel itself, etc.). The final level must be the same throughout the entire area of the apartment.
In parallel, you can install new windows and glaze the balcony, insulate the loggia.
Alignment of walls and construction of niches and partitions, if they are provided for by our project. Then all this needs to be puttied and rubbed. The result is perfect walls.
We can start leveling the ceiling or installation tension fabric. Or specially trained people will do it for you; resorting to the help of builders and finishers is especially beneficial if they do comprehensive renovation the entire apartment.
Further you can start finishing.
Spring-cleaning.
And the most exciting stage, furniture arrangement and connecting all devices.

In this article we will offer you ten ideas for creating the most functional interior one-room apartment, dividing the space of a single room into several zones, arranging an office in one room and cozy bedroom, and also tell you about ways visual expansion space in a one-room apartment.

A one-room apartment, of course, cannot be called the most spacious home for a family, but since you only have such a fairly modest living space at your disposal, you need to make it as functional and cozy as possible. We hope that the tips offered in this article will help you cope with this difficult task.

The only room in the apartment becomes a living room, a bedroom, an office, and a nursery. Combine such a large number of functions on small area certainly difficult, but with the help of modern design techniques it is quite possible

The first idea is to try to get rid of everything unnecessary

Before you start decorating the space of the only living room in your apartment, you should think carefully about what you can’t do without in this room, and what you can easily move outside of it.

The worst option for arranging a “one-room apartment” is a completely cluttered room, in which, due to the abundance of furniture, there is simply nowhere to turn around. Therefore, you should clear the space as much as possible and get rid of everything unnecessary.

For example, if the hallway in your apartment is quite different large sizes, this is where it is worth installing a spacious wardrobe, which will become the main storage place for the family’s wardrobe. Then in the room itself it will be possible to install only a light wall for books, souvenirs and other small items.

If the apartment has a balcony or loggia, they can also be used to get rid of extra items. Just organize a well-thought-out storage system, for example, order or buy ready-made shelving, otherwise, instead of a living room, the loggia will turn into a warehouse for unnecessary things. In general, you can take out to the balcony all the items that can be stored in an unheated room.

Typical Khrushchev apartments usually have a storage room that can be converted into a dressing room. We have already written about this arrangement option in the article “Storage places in a small apartment”. You might also consider transferring working area, that is, a table for a computer or laptop in the kitchen, however, this method of freeing the living room from excess furniture is not suitable for everyone. If the kitchen itself has a very small area, it will not be able to take on additional functions.

Now that only the necessary pieces of furniture remain in the room, you can think about interior design.

Of course, you can’t do without storage space in the only living space of an apartment. But let it not be a massive closet full of things, but a light wall that can also serve as a TV stand

Idea two - minimalism as a way to make a room more spacious

This advice is a logical continuation of the previous one. As an interior style, minimalism is ideal for creating a space freed from all unnecessary things, leaving the owners with only the most functional and necessary pieces of furniture and decor.

Laconism, which is business card minimalism will allow you to leave enough free space even in a small area of the living room, to avoid excessive pomp and pretentiousness, which would simply be inappropriate in a one-room apartment. “Less is better” is an excellent principle for arranging a one-room apartment.

If you do not accept minimalism in pure form Considering this interior design option too cold and devoid of individuality, take into account certain principles of such an interior. So, of course, there is no need to completely avoid decor, but you also don’t need to overload the room with details, for example, decorate low ceiling lush stucco or place it on a small empty wall space between the TV and the wall huge picture, not worth it.

Strict lines neutral shades, laconic facades, an interior where rare decorative items are side by side with exclusively functional furniture - minimalism, like no other style, is suitable for creating a bright and not overloaded with details interior of a one-room apartment

Idea three - a podium as a way to hide a sleeping place

We have already written about how to make a podium bed with your own hands in one of our articles. In a one-room apartment, such a design can become a panacea for the lack of free space for installing a spacious wardrobe or a double bed.

The last option is the most convenient for one-room apartments, because you will definitely find a place for a sofa to watch TV or receive guests, but for a double bed or sleeping place for guests - not always.

Of course, a podium with a hidden sleeping place will have to be built to order or independently, purchase a convenient and reliable system for “rolling” the bed under the flooring, materials for finishing the top and good mattress. However, all these expenses will be more than compensated by the convenience - you just have to pull out the drawer and the already made bed is at your service - as well as space savings incomparable to other methods.

On the podium itself there can be a relaxation area, a workplace or a playpen, but the sleeping place will be securely hidden inside the structure during the day

Idea four - transformable furniture

Another invention created specifically for small rooms. IN big houses There is simply no need for such multifunctional or “disguising” furniture - here the table is just a table, and the bed is just a bed. This option is not suitable for modest “one-room apartments” - since the room itself performs many functions, the furniture must be appropriate.

What you should buy for the only living room in your apartment:

Folding sofa with a spacious drawer for linen and other things. The drawer under the sofa holds a surprising number of useful items, from pillows to winter shoes, “hidden” for the summer. Well, you can’t do without a sleeping place that can be folded up for the day in a one-room apartment.
Chair-bed. An excellent “safety” option for a friend who decides to stay overnight. It doesn’t take up much space, and you can sleep comfortably. By the way, for a child who has already grown out of the playpen, but lives with his parents in the same room, it is also perfect.
A table-stand, a table that “moves out” from under the bed, simply a folding one or folding table for family dinner, working at the computer and receiving guests.
The bed, which is “hidden” in the closet for the day, turns into a table, an ordinary sofa, rises to the ceiling, and so on.

The only disadvantage of such transforming furniture is the high cost, since reliable models They simply cannot be cheap. In addition, transformers often have to be ordered in advance so that they respond general style room and its size.

At night there is a full bed, during the day there is a sofa and shelves for books. This is what a transforming bed looks like in action

Idea five - a closet with open shelves as an option for dividing space

One of the most good options zoning the only living room of the house - the use of shelves or cabinets with open shelves. Such structures will not be a serious obstacle to sunlight, but at the same time they will reliably hide, for example, the owner’s bed or a child’s sleeping place.

If a closet that rises almost to the ceiling seems too bulky to you or will interfere with creating an effective system natural light, you can choose relatively low designs. In general, it is enough for the shelving to be level with the headboard of the bed, sofa or playpen that will be hidden behind its shelves.

The advantages of such structures include their mobility - if desired, the rack can be easily moved to another place, as well as the ability to use open shelves on both sides. But the main disadvantage can be considered precisely the openness - the rack turns into an exhibition of books or souvenirs; it will not be possible to store various household items on the shelves.

A lightweight shelving unit with open shelves made it possible to create a separate cozy sleeping area in the room.

Idea six - screen, light partition, curtain

You can divide the space of a “one-room apartment” into several functional zones not only with the help of a shelving unit or a cabinet with open shelves. Designers suggest using all kinds of screens, lightweight mobile or stationary partitions, curtains and even carpets for these purposes.

One of the most simple ways quickly organizing an isolated corner for sleeping and relaxing is the use of chipboards, which are connected to each other by piano hinges. Such a screen can first be covered with the same wallpaper that decorated the walls of the entire room. You can also play with contrast and choose a brighter shade of paint or wallpaper with a different pattern to decorate a light partition. When creating such a screen, the edges of the slabs are covered with the same wallpaper or covered with paint selected to match.

Glass partitions are not very popular due to their too cold, office-like appearance, but they are perfect for fans of high-tech style.

Another option for dividing a room is a bar counter, which can also become not only a place for receiving guests, but also a work desk.

A screen made of branches will immediately give the room an exotic style, and if such an interior is not to your taste, you can replace it with a curtain made of thick fabric

Idea seven - add a balcony or loggia

In a cramped one-room apartment, adding a loggia or balcony becomes literally a dream for the owners, although it requires additional costs, as well as approval of redevelopment.

However, all these costs and troubles are paid off by the appearance of a cozy separate or completely connected zone where you can place a bed, a computer desk, children's Corner for games and so on.

A less expensive way to add a balcony or loggia is to not demolish the entire wall, leaving the existing window sill, which can become a table, a stand for an aquarium or a bar counter.

In any case, you should consider the heating system of the attached area and design it in the basic style chosen for the entire room.

Idea eight - options for placing a crib

A one-room apartment is a good option for a young couple or a person who has not yet managed to start a family. But cases when a family with one or two children lives in a “one-room apartment” are far from uncommon.

In such a situation, one of the main problems of the owners becomes the placement of a children's bed. Let's consider several options and tips from designers:

If the room already has a niche or alcove, this is where cozy corner It is worth arranging a sleeping place for the child. Light curtain- and the niche will become a separate children's bedroom. In some apartments, such initially planned alcoves accommodate not only a bunk bed, but also a small desk.
Experts do not recommend placing a child's bed near a window - a draft, too bright sunlight, a hot radiator - such a neighborhood cannot be called useful for a child.
A long, elongated room can be visually or with the help of screens and partitions divided into two zones - a children's and an adult's. Sometimes, to highlight a child’s corner, it is enough to place a bright rug in this part of the room. And let the adult area be a walk-through area so that the baby, who usually goes to bed earlier than his parents, is not disturbed by anything.
A children's bed can also be placed on the podium.
A loft bed that leaves enough space on the lower tier for computer desk or play area- An excellent option for a one-room apartment.
At first, a playpen placed near the parents’ bed is sufficient for a newborn. And it will be possible to create a full-fledged children's corner for an already grown up child who will need a real bed.

This room already has a niche where a playpen fits perfectly. This option can be called optimal, and if you hang a light curtain in the opening, the nursery will turn into a cozy corner hidden from prying eyes

Idea nine - optimal color scheme

Regarding color solutions, designers are unanimous and recommend choosing an interior designed in neutral colors, with individual splashes of bright tones. Using different shades, you can emphasize the division of a room into separate zones, visually expand the space by choosing light colors, so you should not underestimate the importance of the color scheme in creating a comfortable interior.

You should definitely prefer a monochromatic ceiling, light beige, white, light green or pale yellow. Remember what dark corners and walls will do small room even tighter, so such options should be avoided.

Get carried away and decorate the interior in one single color scheme do not do it. In the room with pink curtains, light red walls and a scarlet sofa will make even a very balanced person feel uncomfortable. It is better to choose two or three primary colors that combine perfectly with each other. The following combinations are considered classic: beige and chocolate, pink and white, yellow and blue, brown and green, mustard and terracotta, blue and gray. In general, white goes well with all shades, but there should not be too much bright red, blue and dark green in the interior.

A cheerful sofa looks especially bright and cozy against neutral walls. In such bright room Even richly dark furniture would be appropriate

Idea tenth - a properly equipped lighting system

One light source in such a multifunctional room will not be enough. Imagine a situation when you want to read, but your significant other is already asleep - the light of a large chandelier will definitely disturb her.

When arranging a lighting system in the only living room of an apartment, you should be guided by simple principle— each functional area needs its own lighting fixture. Don't forget about the sconces near the bed and desk, a night light or a darkened lamp near the crib, and so on.

It is, of course, necessary to create a room lighting scheme at the renovation stage; if necessary, you should contact a specialist and take care of reliable wiring. And remember that lighting fixtures should be combined not only with the main interior style of the room, but also with each other. Many manufacturers offer chandeliers and sconces with the same shades - such a choice will not allow you to make a mistake with the design.

In principle, you can completely abandon a massive chandelier with numerous shades; it is better to create a spot lighting system.

Spotlights, sconces above the bed - the lighting system of a one-room apartment should be as thoughtful as possible. Lack of light can be the same problem as a huge chandelier that is too bright

Arranging the only living room in the house requires a special approach. Often, in pursuit of maximum functionality, owners forget about beauty and harmony, about the basic principles of creating cozy interior. We hope that our advice will be useful to those who are planning to turn their modest “one-room apartment” into an attractive and comfortable home.

Small one-room apartment - cozy space, which is easy to make functional. This requires proper planning, selection suitable design and careful arrangement.
