Create stylish design interior design of premises with limited space, combining beauty and functionality, is quite difficult. It will be necessary to carefully design the design of Khrushchev apartments 2 rooms to achieve desired result. The main disadvantage of the home is the inconvenient layout with broken room geometry. Standard options are often not suitable for comfortable living. The optimal solution in this case would be repair and redevelopment.
Modern design techniques presented in the photo allow you to create stylish and cozy interiors. In a two-room apartment building in Khrushchev it is important to take into account the area and geometry. The layout, popularly called a “book” with a total area of 42 square meters, has a plan with adjacent living rooms with one passage, considered the most unsuccessful. The rooms in the tram arrangement are also adjacent, but are more convenient for separation.
The layout of the Khrushchev apartments in a nine-story building of 44 square meters is distinguished by an improved placement of rooms, but minimum dimensions kitchens will require drastic measures and a plan to expand the space. A layout project with a symmetrical arrangement of rooms with an area of 45 square meters with a small kitchen in the center is called a “butterfly” or “vest”.
Despite the comfortable isolation of the living space, the presented diagram and project confirm the need to enlarge the kitchen. Sale of small-sized housing with non-standard two-room layout not the only way out of the situation.
Redevelopment methods
There are several basic subtleties of radical redevelopment, as in the photo during renovation, which will help make your home stylish and comfortable:
- the creation of a two-room studio apartment on 45 square meters of total area involves the demolition of all partitions, while maintaining load-bearing walls. After this, original screens and partitions zone the entire space according to its functional purpose, embodying the most incredible ideas;
- expanding the kitchen or living room by moving the bedroom partition will allow you to separate the recreation area, increasing the space of other rooms. In this case, only a bed, chest of drawers, or bedside tables are installed in the bedroom. The main furniture, the dining area, is transferred to the living room;
- ideas for turning a balcony, loggia into a separate room, or combining them with a living space will require the installation of a new one quality window, insulation of external surfaces. This economy plan will allow you to carry out repairs, after receiving several meters of space, and selling due to shortage usable area will be cancelled;
- creating a combined bathroom in an apartment of 45 square meters will increase the work space, allowing you to place a full-fledged one in the bathroom washing machine, boiler, necessary plumbing, maintaining load-bearing partitions. The option is quite expensive and labor-intensive due to the redevelopment of the water supply system, replacement of pipes and sewerage.
Choice suitable option redevelopment should be based primarily on the features of the geometry and location of the rooms.
It is important to take into account personal preferences and the functional load of the interior. It is not at all necessary to sell a Khrushchev-era apartment, if there are a huge number of options for changing the layout.
Original stylistic solutions
Choice stylistic decision for a two-room apartment in Khrushchev, despite the complexity of the design, it is quite large. There are a huge number of styles suitable for non-standard premises, the area of which is limited. Particularly popular for standard area 45 square meters enjoys modern design in the Art Nouveau, hi-tech, minimalist styles. For lovers of oriental motifs, the Japanese style is suitable, for admirers of antiquity and classics - Provence, retro, or country.
Each style has its own characteristics and subtleties of design. Modern design It is distinguished by laconicism, strict lines, and the absence of unnecessary details. The result is a bright, spacious room. Japanese style will allow you to perform zoning using original accessories with oriental notes. Cozy options decoration in retro style, Provence, will create a homely, warm atmosphere in the “vest” layout.
Space zoning methods
Zoning rooms in Khrushchev apartments is a prerequisite for creating functional interior. Space organization can be done using visual effects, or a project for radical changes to the layout as in the photo. The play of color and light is widely used as a visual expansion of space, unobtrusively, subtly highlighting the necessary areas. Furniture items can also be an advantageous zoning method. Bar counters, bookshelves practically divide the floor plan according to functional purpose.
Dramatic changes in the arrangement of rooms, or when creating a single interior of 43 square meters, will require careful consideration of smooth transitions, load-bearing partitions, and methods of demarcation at the renovation stage. A two-room premium class studio apartment, in contrast to the walk-through layout, looks more harmonious with the use of arched openings and decorative partitions. Design elements, accessories, and living plants are also used for visual differentiation. The size and location of the zones directly depend on the personal preferences and needs of the residents, due to which the sale of housing is cancelled.
Optimal furnishing options
Proper furnishing of a two-room Khrushchev apartment will ensure comfortable living, making the furnishing plan more functional. The color and shape of the furniture should be in harmony with the overall stylistic idea of the interior, corresponding color scheme finishing. Proven tips are based on basic stylistic techniques:
- minimum number of furniture elements;
- use of modular structures;
- lightweight, folding options;
- glass objects or mirror inserts;
- compact corner and hanging furniture.
Selling modern bar counters, original screens and partitions will help divide the space without weighing it down. Furniture should be as practical and functional as possible. The design and furniture design options as in the photo when combining living quarters with a kitchen, or a walk-through plan, provide for the choice of items with durable upholstery, or a surface that is resistant to moisture and various influences. Elements should be selected taking into account ease of cleaning.
Subtleties of surface design in small rooms
Finishing and design of surfaces will help not only decorate the interior, but also create the desired effect of expanding the space. The contrasting design of a white ceiling with a slight gloss and a dark floor will become optimal solution for a small living space of 44 square meters. Raising the floor, or a combination various materials The design and division of the room into zones are organically emphasized.
It is better to carry out the plan for finishing work on the wall surface, starting from the ceiling itself, which will create a visual impression of the height of the plane.
As finishing materials to decorate load-bearing walls, stones, liquid wallpaper, textured plaster, stucco. Selling modern textures and color variations of wallpaper makes it easy to create beautiful design. Despite the low ceilings, non-standard floor plan, it is allowed to use tension, plasterboard ceiling structures. Organic transitions of multi-level options will help in zoning even a walk-through room. During DIY repairs, it is especially important to consider the practicality and quality of finishing materials.
Color variations
White color will undoubtedly act as an ideal basis for further decoration, visually expanding the space, creating the effect of comfort and cleanliness. Making the wall in a color that imitates the texture and tone of natural wood will help to add a touch of warmth and naturalness. The choice is especially relevant for eco-interiors.
The limited size of the Khrushchev-era kitchen does not allow it to be equipped with a full-fledged dining area. Can be applied contrasting combination yellow and purple colors in the living room, in the location area dining table, chairs, doing the design yourself. Wallpaper with a small floral print or geographical pattern on the surface of the wall will have a positive effect on the perception of space, helping to make it wider and more spacious.
The technique of decorating one wall in a contrasting or bright vertical stripe photo is effectively used. Thus, you can highlight one of the zones, or visually delimit the space. Conciseness and simplicity should prevail in paints. It is recommended to choose three main interior colors, and then use a play of their shades for decoration. The color of the furniture should be organically combined with the overall design.
Correct lighting
Proper lighting in small apartment spaces, as in the photo, can act not only as a light source, but also as an original decorative element. It is important to consider the amount of natural light, supplementing the design with standard recommendations if necessary. The sale of built-in lamps will allow you to choose the best option for central lighting, design of niches, arches and partitions.
A central chandelier on the ceiling will look out of place and will make it lower; a replacement could be a lighting fixture pressed as closely as possible to the surface.
Additional lighting sources will include sconces, floor lamps, and original table lamps. A rather practical idea is to use the light flux to organically delimit zones, highlight a design area, part of a walk-through wall, or to highlight a stylish accessory. It is also beneficial to use lighting along the entire perimeter of the ceiling, filling the space with enough light to create a comfortable and cozy environment.
Design techniques for increasing space
Experienced decorators use only proven techniques and space-expanding design. Limited area should have maximum functionality, organically combining several zones. Particular care should be taken when considering the types of layouts and the number of dividing strips in Khrushchev-era apartments. Too many visual distinctions can overload the interior.
The proportional harmony of objects in the rooms will ensure the correct perception of space. It is recommended to give preference to medium-sized elements, abandoning bulky, heavy options. Replacing conventional interior doors on sliding options During an economical renovation, creating arched openings as in the photo is a win-win method of saving space.
Original decorative elements
It is not recommended to clutter the interior of rooms with an area of 44 square meters with many small objects. It is important to carefully study the plan, think through each decorative element, and arrange accessories correctly. Bulky carpets, bedspreads, heavy textiles on the windows, rugs, pillows and souvenirs will create a cluttered effect, reducing the already small space. You should also not allow small objects to be reflected in mirror surfaces, which will visually multiply their number.
Light weightless fabrics in minimum quantity will give airy weightlessness to the space. Bright accents There may be several pillows, napkins, or towels in the kitchen. It is better to use photo frames and souvenirs in minimal quantities, giving preference to paintings made in the style of the interior. If you have a sufficiently large number of books, you can arrange hanging shelves. Wrapping books with paper in calm tones will help eliminate excessive variegation.
The principle of creating a comfortable environment for a two-room Khrushchev apartment is a minimum of items that do not carry a functional load. It is important to think about spacious, compact and ergonomic furniture storage systems at the renovation stage. Correct Application techniques will help you create a beautiful and cozy design interior design even in a small area of the home.
Two-room apartments have a lot of space for free design. Today, two-room apartments are in greatest demand among potential buyers. This is due to the ideal ratio of price to living space. Modern developers offer from 40-65 m2, and in some new buildings the total area of such a home can reach up to 85 m2. The design of a two-room apartment of this area is quite enough to create ideal conditions for life. The main thing is that the territory meets the aesthetic requirements of the residents, is comfortable, has maximum functionality, and creates coziness and comfort.
Design project
The modern design of a two-room apartment allows you to realize any idea and allows you to create all the fundamental zones. The development of any project begins by clarifying the main questions: for whom the living space will be equipped, how many people will live. Do not forget about the most important things - the age of the residents, age, interests, hobbies. Two-room apartments are popular with married couples, couples with children or one child. It is not uncommon for such apartments to be inhabited by bachelors who love free space. Based on the answers to the questions, one can imagine the future appearance of the monastery, its functional zoning in redevelopment. For a family with one child, one part accordingly becomes the children's area, the other will combine a bedroom for the parents with a guest room at the same time. Such a bedroom will no longer have a full-fledged bed, but there are many others interesting options. Alternatively you can use round bed, or transformer.
The arrangement of children's space depends on the age and number of children. If the owners have a couple of small children, it will not be a problem to create a separate territory for each. It may be a room divided in half, or it may just be a visual division. The situation looks simpler when the child is alone. The decisive facts are the child’s age, preferences, and hobbies. If one person lives in the house, it would be reasonable to divide it into two parts - an entrance hall and a bedroom.
The most popular is the combination of the food area with the hallway. This means that you will need to connect the kitchen together with the living room, touching the corridors with the hallway. But there is one “but”. According to current regulations, a living room with a gasified kitchen cannot be combined unless at least a minimal partition is installed between them. Designers will help with this question. Even if the customer is against such a partition, there are plenty of options to beat it differently.
Today's real estate market is full of diversity. Unfortunately, not all buildings are created equal. Nowadays, Khrushchev, Brezhnev, Stalin, houses of the p 44 and p44t series and new buildings are actively sold. The choice is simply huge. Each option has pros and cons. Now we will look at them all.
Khrushchevka
Khrushchevka - very cramped, uncomfortable apartments containing cramped rooms with low ceilings, small hallways and a minimal bathroom. And no matter how inconvenient they may be, there is still one plus in such apartments. Often, the walls separating the bathroom from the toilet are not load-bearing and consist of brick, which greatly simplifies everything when dismantling them. In such small apartments as Khrushchev-era buildings, for obvious “zoning” you can use glass partitions. They visually divide the area, but the room does not seem smaller.
Usually, when creating the interior design of two-room apartments, the two most popular redesign options are considered: Destruction of the wall that separates the living space and the kitchen area. The result is that we get plenty of free space, where there is room for a food consumption area, in other words, a dining room. In fact, there are only two rooms - a bedroom and a common room, which combines a kitchen, hallway, dining room, and living room. Of course, this choice is very good, except for one thing - when guests come to the owners, there will be no place to accommodate them, and this creates a little inconvenience.
Dismantling all interior partitions and obtaining a studio apartment. In such cases, it is possible to achieve full zoning as much as possible by highlighting each of the different territories with screens or decorative partitions. There is not a single wall in the studio apartment, with the exception of the main boundary walls of the apartment. You can also use various racks for zoning. Such layouts are suitable for bachelors or married couples without children.
But when there is still not enough living space, you can add a couple of m2 additional area if you change the design of the corridor a little. Interesting solution There will be an addition of space by adding a loggia to the studio or room. Often redevelopment affects the bathroom. A visual increase in area can be achieved by destroying the dividing wall between the bathroom and toilet.
Brezhnevka
Apartments of this period are more practical. The kitchen area ranges from 7 to 8 m2. The ceilings are slightly longer than usual. But in such houses, unfortunately, the likelihood of redesign is completely minimal, since most of the walls are load-bearing. The only place where you can change something is the corridor, bathroom and balcony. If there is a bulky corridor, you can create a dressing room by allocating it as an area, or as a separate room. The size of the kitchen can also be slightly changed due to its smooth transition into the corridor.
To ensure that the combined bathroom contains not only functionality, but also aesthetics, it is recommended to separate the bath and toilet using lighting. Lamps and light bulbs can be placed above the place where the bath itself is located.
Stalinka
Stalin buildings have always been considered prestigious housing. Such apartments were built in the forties and fifties; at that time they were the embodiment of the dream of quality housing. It is worth mentioning that Stalinka coins are still in great demand today. They are original in that they have high ceilings, spacious and large rooms, and most cases have interesting room layouts. A distinctive advantage of Stalin buildings is that they have virtually no load-bearing walls within the apartments, and this in turn gives the chance to plan an ideal, truly functional space. The total area, even in two-room apartments, is quite extensive. In Stalin it is possible to remodel two rooms into a full-fledged three-room abode. You can tear down all the walls and create a studio apartment with plenty of space and open space. Designers prefer to combine the kitchen with the corridor. As a result, they get a large area for kitchen space and recreation.
In Stalin buildings it is possible to create housing with elements of the second floor. This could be an additional floor-bed in your bedroom, or a two-story playhouse for a child in the nursery.
Apartments p 44 and p44t
Often interior walls and the floors are quite modern and consistent in quality, they will require a minimum of work to level. The negative point is that they do not have much potential for redesign. In such apartments, you can only connect a bathroom and combine a balcony with one of the rooms. Sometimes it is possible to connect the kitchen and rooms, but this is extremely rare, and often the wall between the living room and the kitchen is unbearable. High ceilings provide design opportunities with " suspended ceilings", or the construction of complex ceilings. To enlarge the bedroom, you can combine it with a balcony, resulting in a spacious bedroom.
The construction of new renovations is initially planned on old, Soviet buildings. Repair must include updating engineering systems. This concerns electrical wiring, which absolutely does not meet current requirements; it is already completely worn out. All wires and cables will need to be replaced. Let’s not forget that in the distant past, people used technology less and, accordingly, there were few sockets in apartments. This is worth thinking about when arranging your home. Main task— make as many rosettes as possible and think about how to decorate them.
New buildings
In new houses everything is much simpler than in all previous options. Now each complex has its own, author’s layout; even in one complex there can be many different options design. There are practically no design problems in this case. Since there is a chance to initially find the ideal layout that the future owner will strive for. But it’s even easier in home news - to initially take a “kopeck piece” in the form of a studio, then plan it as soon as your heart desires.
Living space in new buildings is noted for its uniqueness, functionality and spaciousness. Often these apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows to create a panoramic view.
How to create the most functional zoning?
Dividing space into territories is a simple way to distinguish between different needs of life, while combining them in one style. High-quality zoning of the interior design of a two-room apartment allows you to create all the amenities for living. By creating such “islands” for various functional purposes, they make it possible to place different territories nearby in one area. Often designers in their design projects for a 2-room apartment (combined into a studio) place a guest room, dining room and kitchen area in one area. The most successful zoning is considered to be the connection of the kitchen with the recreation room. Often, on the border of these two areas there may be a dining room in the form of a table with chairs or a bar. Just like the adjacent semi-zone between the kitchen and the recreation area, you can place part of the free room as an office.
Modern living room in a 2-room apartment in panel house Such a modification as zoning a living room - a bedroom is available in the case when the second room is allocated for planning a nursery. Reach good result Modular furniture will help, where the bed can be transformed into a sofa or wardrobe. There is another option to also separate the recreation area and the conventional bedroom with a decorative partition, creating the illusion of a separate room. You can create an office area decorative partition in the corners.
Not quite a bedroom-office good example planning. But if this key point, then you can select a zone for an office. It will be convenient if you install a transforming bed so that it can be folded into a closet.
A living room wardrobe is a great design option. Wardrobes can be made open, closed, or combined. The wardrobe area can be equipped with a partition, a closet, or any other modular structure.
What to consider when choosing a style?
The days of apartments with the same design are already behind us. Previously, every apartment had to have a sideboard, a set of fittings, consisting of a sofa and armchairs. If in those days the home did not have such design elements, consider it a waste of time to equip the living space. Now we have already moved away from the famous Soviet designs by one maneuver. Now each of us can stand out in designer interiors. First of all, the space should be as functional, comfortable, and practical as possible. The main thing to consider is that you are not creating just a model for a magazine or website, but a full-fledged living space. If you approach the design of a two-room apartment wisely and put in a lot of effort, you will be able to create a functional abode, with minimal costs area. First of all, preference should be given to the tastes of the owners.
The decisive question is whether the entire apartment will be decorated in the same theme, or whether each room will be assigned to different directions. Most, of course, manage to combine the incongruous, and then pass it off as some kind of specific style, so we recommend that you familiarize yourself with some interior styles. It is recommended to combine more similar styles with each other. And if we talk about the general direction, then this implies a single, general idea. This could be emphasizing dark shades with one bright one, for example. One direction will help create comfortable housing, unite all zones with smoother transitions, so that they will not be noticeable at all.
For two-room apartments with a separate room, one decoration style is suitable. Often in two-room apartments the living room is connected to the kitchen. Relevant decoration in modern directions interior, giving preference to functionality, emphasizing the untouched space. If the main area is designed in modern directions, then when decorating the bedroom, preference is given to comfort, focusing on a homely and soft decorating style. Also, different planning directions can be used when the second room is given over to the nursery layout.
But the decisive factor in the choice will be the possibility of remodeling the design of a 2-room apartment. You will have to carefully think through each accessory in order to maintain the Empire style in a typical Khrushchev-era apartment, so that the apartment does not look cluttered with a large number of decorative elements.
Scandinavian style
Scandinavian style is characterized by conciseness and simplicity. This lightweight, flexible style suits absolutely any home, whether private house or a miniature apartment. Here, all the interior elements do not just stand there; each of them represents some kind of function. There are no meaningless things in such houses.

Its main characteristics are horizontal and vertical clear lines, predominant airiness, maximum functionality, and a large number of iron elements. Here you will not see a single carpet - everything is done simply and concisely. Often, walls are built with a single-color color; plain, glossy wallpaper can also be used. Floors often have a glossy, granite or self-leveling appearance. If you really need it carpeting- choose carpets with minimal pile. The color range includes solid shades - black, white, gray. Very often, designers use a lot of metal accessories, diluting them with bright additions to decorative elements. Of the bright colors, green, indigo, orange, and scarlet are popular. Whatever color you choose, it will highlight the contrast of the entire interior.
In the high-tech direction, preference is given to geometric images in almost all interior elements. Most often, the material of choice is metal. The base of the table can be made of metal, while the flat surface itself is made of glass. The interior includes many rectangles and regular circles. If we talk about lighting, high tech loves hanging light bulbs. Built-in lamps will look harmonious with hanging light bulbs. High tech is quite strict, it prefers a lot of cold white light.
They use fairly restrained decorative elements. Accessories should be kept to a minimum. High tech loves a lot of pictures on the walls, preferably black and white. Attention is also paid to technology, there should be a lot of it - large plasma, desktop computer, speaker system can become accentuating elements in such an apartment.
Living rooms look strict and laconic, but clear rooms, on the contrary, are not suitable for high-tech style. Teenagers and bachelors will prefer a room in such colors.
Provence
Exquisite Provence is suitable for decorating small rooms. This is such a gentle, warm style. His main preferred colors are quite saturated, but not bright colors. Provence is characterized by milky shades - white, olive, green, lavender, ocher, beige, milky, sea green. Designers often use light decorative elements. To paint the walls, use plain, often blue paint. Very rare in this style paper wallpaper with floral prints.
With the help of interesting furniture finishes, you can achieve harmony between the rustic spirit of Provence and the bustle of the city. The furniture is specially artificially aged, but at the same time has an amazing appearance.

Gapchinska's paintings with angels are ideal. Vases with artificial wildflowers and baskets with fruits and vegetables are also very suitable for the interior. Since Provence is a rustic style, a lot of attention is paid to simplicity. Excellent element The decor would be a checkered tablecloth in the kitchen, or a blanket with floral embroidery on the sofa.
Minimalism
Minimalism is a simple, elegant, functional and uncluttered style. This means a complete abandonment of decor. Discreet furniture, introduces contrast, thereby enlivening the interior. Here rationality dominates over beauty. The interior includes a lot geometric shapes, loves monotony. The most important thing in all the accessories in such an apartment is that each of them must have clear functionality, otherwise such an accessory is not needed.
Color palette minimalism consists of clear shades - white, black, red or gray. In most cases white is used as a background, and all other colors create contrast and complement the main color with soy richness. Walls are often covered liquid wallpaper. The ceilings are smooth and monochromatic. Such ceilings may hide lighting elements. Minimalism loves boards and a lot of wood. In this case, the floor is covered with parquet or cork, and a plain, fine-pile carpet is laid over it. It is best to decorate a bathroom in a minimalist style. Since unnecessary elements in such a zone are, in principle, not needed.
The interior should have a lot of furniture of regular geometric shapes. An abundance of glass and metal is welcome - large glass table tops, metal shelving and legs in fittings are an excellent sign of minimalism. This style is preferred simple forms and light silhouettes. Furniture made from natural materials such as cotton and linen is mainly welcome. If the apartment has various shelves and racks, you need to achieve the effect of dissolving these accessories. They should be an integral part of the walls themselves.
The details themselves in such an interior create liveliness. You can also play with the dilution of such an interior with exotic objects, especially if they are made of wood. It will look stylish bright furniture in a white room. Or vice versa - dark sofa in the milk walls.
Art Deco

Bright colors such as purple, crimson, indigo, emerald, and sapphire are often used here. Also sometimes like additional colors use metallic, gold, black or blue.

It should be remembered, first of all, that apartments are not created for photographs in magazines, but for everyday life. The main thing is that the design of a two-room apartment brings not only aesthetic, but also functional pleasure to its residents.
When developing the design of a two-room apartment in a panel house, a number of limitations arose: compact layout did not allow us to create a modern open space, so we had to get rid of some of the walls and partitions. In such houses, according to the design, the bathroom is separate, while both the bathroom and the toilet have a very small area. They decided to combine them to get a larger room.
Layout
In the interior of a 2-room apartment, the hallway and kitchen are connected by a corridor. Sliding door to the bedroom allows you to further expand the space and visually unite all the rooms in the apartment, except the living room. Such isolation of the living room is completely justified, since quite often it plays the role of a guest bedroom.
Thus, all functional areas are separated, but in general the interior of the apartment is 46 sq. m. m. looks holistic due to the use of neutrals as the main color in all rooms light colors. Against this background, bright colors are perceived especially well. color accents textiles, posters, decorative furniture facades.
Living room
The interior of a 2-room apartment is designed in the same style, but each room has its own “face”. In the living room, the first thing that attracts attention is the ceiling, along which small square-shaped lamps are randomly scattered.
Yellow and blue are the main colors used in the decor. They are present in furniture decoration, on curtains, in posters above the sofa and on the opposite wall.
Two small tables can be combined or used separately from each other, two poufs - one yellow and the other blue - can also be moved freely at the request of the owners. Using them, you can host more guests in the living room. All this is a riot of colors in the interior of an apartment of 46 square meters. m. in the living room is softened and unified by a calm dark gray carpet.
Opposite the window - spacious rack. It will store books, souvenirs, as well as bed linen and other things that should not be put on public display. Therefore, some of the shelves are left open, and some are covered with facades neutral shade. Irregular alternation of open and closed shelves adds dynamism to the room.
Kitchen
The interior of the apartment is 46 sq. m. the kitchen especially stands out. Small, painted white in order to appear more spacious, it nevertheless has its own, well-defined character. It is determined by the design of the apron and the wall behind the stove and has a clearly defined “industrial” style.
Whitewashed brick walls, simple metal hood with a high “pipe” geometric shape- all this clearly refers to the loft style.
Wooden folding chairs take up little space and fit perfectly into the loft atmosphere, especially when equipped decorative pillows for seating in time-worn American flag covers.
The small size of the kitchen does not allow organizing a dining area in it, so the window sill was replaced with a wide tabletop made of artificial stone, where you can conveniently have a snack or even lunch.
Bedroom
In the design of a two-room apartment in a panel house, bright, rich colors For example, in the bedroom it is a thick grassy green.
Not only the facades on the closed shelves of the rack are green, but also the curtains on the windows, and even the armchair. The poster on the wall above the bed, as well as the bedspread, are made in the same colors.
Located along the window work area, above her - different heights pendant lamps, complicating space and harmonizing its perception.
The role of bedside lamps is played by black sconces, the location of which can be changed due to the hinged base. In addition, they look very decorative.
Bathroom
The design of a two-room apartment in a panel house included combining the toilet and bathroom into a single whole. The result was a room large enough to fit a washing machine in there - its place is near the sink, and on top it is covered with a countertop that extends to the wall.
The soft blue floor goes perfectly with the white walls and the “pisque” pattern of the decorative tiles that line the walls surrounding the bathtub.
Behind the toilet, part of the wall is decorated with blue mosaic tiles. The theme of right angles in the design is supported by plumbing fixtures unusual shape: the bathtub, the sink, and even the toilet here are rectangular!
Entrance area
Acquaintance with the interior of a 2-room apartment begins with the hallway area. Immediately upon entering, guests are greeted by a bright orange pouf - the main and only decorative element this zone.
The gray planes of the walls are broken up by mirrors with different sizes- this gives the interior dynamism. Since the floors in the hallway experience the heaviest load, they were laid with porcelain tiles, but the wood pattern was chosen to give the room more warmth. The pattern on the tiles is in harmony with the finish of the cabinet. To save space, the door to the bedroom was made sliding.

If you decide to start renovating a 2-room apartment or simply plan to change its appearance in 2018, then you should approach the issue of interior design responsibly. , you will transform your home beyond recognition!
The space of a 2-room apartment is essentially divided into two parts, but they can be used in different ways. The most common options:
- If there is a child in the family, then it is advisable to make one room a nursery, and the other an adult bedroom or a living room-bedroom (the latter option is more preferable if you often receive guests at home).
- One room can be a full bedroom (it can accommodate both parents and small child), and the second - the living room.
- If the owner of a 2-room apartment is single business man(for example, a businessman), then one room can be used to accommodate a sleeping area and equipment for a full-fledged office, and the second can be used to create a cozy and spacious living room in which the owner can hold meetings with clients or partners.
Successful redevelopment
If for some reason you are unhappy with the way the space is demarcated in your apartment (for example, the rooms are too small), then you can start large-scale changes - redevelopment. But before you decide to take such an important step, carefully weigh the pros and cons. First, remember that the process can be very costly, time-consuming and time-consuming. Secondly, not all walls can be demolished; load-bearing walls definitely cannot be dismantled. Thirdly, in any case you will need to obtain permission from the relevant authorities.
So, the most common methods of redevelopment:
- Combining the kitchen with the adjacent room and turning these two rooms into a living-dining room. But it is not advisable to completely demolish the entire wall, because, firstly, it is better to isolate the work areas and hide them from prying eyes, and secondly, complete dismantling is prohibited by the current regulations, because gas appliances should not be in the living room.
- . If these rooms are so cramped that all residents feel extremely uncomfortable in them, then demolishing the wall will help free up space and use it rationally. But if the family is large, then such a decision may not be beneficial and create a lot of inconvenience.
- Demolition interior partition, that is, the union of two living rooms. In the end you will get original design and the spacious studio apartment that has become so popular recently. But this option is suitable only for a single person or a couple without children. If a family with children lives in an apartment, then everyone will need their own isolated space, and when the premises are combined, this will become almost impossible. If you prefer this option, then take care of zoning. For example, sleeping place can be separated with a screen, and the work area can be hidden behind a rack or cabinet.
- Attaching a balcony or loggia to a living room. The owner of a 2-room apartment, dissatisfied with its small area, may decide to take such a step. But find out in advance whether it is possible to dismantle the wall, because if it is load-bearing, then this is prohibited. Also, take care to fully insulate the loggia, otherwise it will be cold in the room.
- A less common option is to join the living room part of the corridor. But still, it’s not worth sacrificing them completely. Firstly, any apartment should have a space in front of the door used for putting on outerwear and storing it. And be sure to limit this area, otherwise the living room may become less comfortable.
Do you need a unified style?
In order for the design to be complete and the space to be orderly and unified, in 2018, designers recommend choosing one style and keeping all rooms in it, including utilitarian ones (kitchen and bathroom). Moreover, all residents should be satisfied, so the choice should be approached very responsibly. If everyone has different tastes, then you will have to try to find a compromise. It is advisable to stay in some neutral and calm direction, associated with comfort. It could be Mediterranean style, classic, Scandinavian.
Successful zoning
To make rooms isolated, use doors. Moreover, it is advisable to choose the same ones so that the design is uniform and harmonious. Doors will definitely be required in the bathroom, toilet, and bedroom. And the entrance to the living room can be decorated using an original passage, for example, an arched one. It is not necessary to close the kitchen either, although a door to such a room can be very useful, because it will prevent the odors of different dishes from spreading throughout the space of a 2-room apartment.
Finishing
You can use a variety of materials for decoration, but when purchasing them you should still adhere to the style chosen for decoration. And if you choose one direction, then flooring may be the same in all living rooms. Use parquet, laminate and so on. For finishing utilitarian premises, you can choose another material that is more practical and resistant to dirt and moisture (tiles or linoleum).
As for, it may vary in different rooms, this will make the design more original, as well as take into account the wishes of the owners of the room, giving each zone individuality.
Furniture
If your goal is to save space (and the problem of a small area is relevant for many), then use modern compact furniture, especially built-in furniture, it allows you to free up enough space for freedom of movement and freedom of action. Modular complexes are becoming especially popular, and they are used everywhere: in the bedroom, living room, kitchen or even in the toilet. By choosing this option, you can create exclusive compositions and easily change the design and appearance of the premises.
Lighting
It is advisable to plan the location of lighting fixtures at the renovation stage, especially if it is planned to install a stretch or suspended ceiling. More modern and in most cases convenient is diffused lighting. And some devices can be original and stylish and used for decoration.
It is desirable that the windows in all rooms of a 2-room apartment are the same, firstly, this is beneficial, and secondly, overall design the interior will become harmonious.
Accessories can be original, functional and useful at the same time; this will make the apartment more practical and comfortable. But you shouldn’t give up on cute little things either. Now your two-room apartment will acquire a stylish and original look, thanks to your efforts.
