Residents of small apartments are accustomed to the fact that every centimeter usable area must be used so that there is no lack of free space in the room. A one-room converted apartment with a harmonious design calculated to the smallest detail can easily compete with spacious apartments.
Well-chosen layout, zoning, unusual design solutions will transform a modest home into a comfortable and beautiful one.
Layout features
The main task of designers when arranging a small room is to visually increase the usable area. That's why initial stage interior design consists of redevelopment, the purpose of which is to hide the shortcomings of the apartment. Series of houses may have significant differences in the area of apartments and their layout, so an individual approach is required to each individual interior. Rational decision may be a complete redevelopment of the room: removal of some parts of the walls or partitions. It's important to remember that Touching the supporting structures is strictly prohibited.
The design of a 1-room apartment should be planned based on the expansion of space. Here are some recommendations for increasing your living space:
- Combining a room and a loggia. Complete dismantling of the wall is not necessary; it is enough to demolish the window block and turn the rest of the wall into a functional space divider.
- Converting a balcony or loggia into an office, dining room or bedroom.
- Arrangement of the second tier in an apartment with a ceiling height of 3 meters. On such a second floor you can place sleeping place, and under it there is a sitting area or a closet.
- Using wide window sills as bookshelves, flower bed or desktop.
- Converting a storage room into a dressing room. This solution will significantly free up space in the apartment.
Layout options
You need to start redevelopment with transforming the living space. This will allow you to take into account every centimeter of it and use it as fruitfully as possible. Designers offer several options for arranging small apartments, depending on the type of house and area of the premises.
In a panel house
Panel houses In addition to longitudinal load-bearing walls, they have transverse ones. The wall between the room and the kitchen is load-bearing in one-room apartments, which does not provide much opportunity for redevelopment. In such cases, you can do the following: make an opening in the load-bearing wall, increase the area of the bathroom due to the corridor, and erect additional partitions. It is important to remember that all work requires individual consideration and approval. The main task of planning in such houses is separate the sleeping area, organize a mobile workplace and create a small living area.
These issues can be resolved without interfering with the structure of the building, thanks to zoning the room using furniture.
Brezhnevka
Typical Brezhnevka houses include a load-bearing wall that is adjacent to next apartment. It will not be possible to dismantle such a wall, so one of the few ways to increase the area is to replace the doors with arches. The bathrooms in such apartments are very small, it is possible to install washing machine not always there. Smart decision - dismantle the partition between the bathroom and toilet. This method will visually increase the space and free up usable area.
One-room
One-room apartments are often modest dwellings with a single, irregularly shaped room and a small kitchen. To make such an apartment comfortable, designers advise giving preference to an open plan. Removing walls and doors to allow easy access to all surfaces is the main goal of an open plan.
In such apartments, nothing interferes with the free flow of sunlight, which visually enlarges the apartment. Furniture plays the role of zoning elements. It's important to remember that in a small room, the same finish should be used in all functional areas.
New buildings
Apartments in new buildings are distinguished by inconvenient geometry: trapezoidal rooms, options with a round wall or with a bend are absolutely impractical for living. Modern apartment layouts allow several options for combining space to solve planning problems. The most popular solution among them is connecting the kitchen to the living room. Preference is also given to a bedroom-children's room or a living room-office.
Studios
Distinctive feature architecture of new buildings is the design of studio apartments. The studio is a free space with a kitchen included in residential area, and a separate bathroom. When creating the design of a small apartment (for example, with an area of 17 sq. m), it is better to give preference to an open plan. The transition from the kitchen area to the living room should be made smooth. When planning a studio style, designers advise giving preference to built-in appliances in order to give the home neatness and relieve space.
Apartments with an area of 46 to 50 square meters often have a studio design.
To make the room comfortable, in such studios zoning is necessary. To highlight a sleeping or relaxation area, you can install a bed fenced off with a screen. When creating partitions, the use of structures made of plexiglass or plasterboard sheets. In this case, preference should be given glass surfaces, which does not interfere with the propagation of light.
Room size
Apartments in different parts Countries may be virtually identical to each other because typical houses tend to always have a standard layout. According to building codes, the minimum height of finished residential premises is recommended from 2.5 to 2.7 m. The vestibule is a mandatory room with minimum design dimensions of 1.4 x 1.4 m. Next is the hallway, the comfortable area of which is from 6-7 to 10 m.
The size of the living room depends on the number of residents. For example, for a family of 3-5 people, it is preferable to allocate 25 square meters. It is important to remember that living rooms smaller than 17 square meters are not designed.
The width of the kitchen should be 1.8 m, the recommended area of this room is 12 square meters. m. A separate dining room can be at least 8 square meters. m., however, it can be combined with the kitchen, which will save space. A bedroom for two people should be at least 14 square meters, for one - 10 square meters. m. A toilet with a toilet and a washbasin should be located on 1.5 square meters. m., without washbasin – 1.2 sq. m. The bathroom combined with the bathroom is located on 3.8 square meters. m. apartment.
Separate bathroom – 3.3 sq.m. m. Another, but not obligatory, room is a dressing room. Usually 8 - 10 square meters are allocated for it. m. for the possibility of installing an ironing board. A two-row wardrobe must be at least 2 m wide. To store tools and equipment in apartments, storerooms with an area of 2 square meters are designed. m.
Ready-made apartments ranging from 33 and 37 square meters. m can be in a new building (studio), old typical house. Kitchens of 30 square meters or more are quite spacious and can reach 6 square meters. m. It is customary to connect a toilet and a bathroom, and replace the bathroom with a shower, so that you don’t have to increase the area.
The interior design of 38 - 45 square meters includes a large loggia. It can be renovated or converted into a dressing room, closet or any other small room. It must be remembered that First you need to carry out insulation work.
Only in this case can the loggia or balcony be used all year round.
Repair requires preliminary preparation. Glazing of the balcony is carried out in parallel with the installation of windows. Old communications can only be changed taking into account the new division into zones. The floor is leveled taking into account the finishing height throughout the apartment. It is also advisable to level the ceiling or install a suspended ceiling: if possible, height differences should be avoided.
Zoning
The total area of the premises must be divided into functional areas (working or children's corner, sleeping area, kitchen and dining room). Access to each zone must be free. The design, colors and textures of the coatings of each zone may vary, but the integrity of the image must be maintained in the interior. If zoning using load-bearing structures and partitions are impossible for some reason, it will help solve the problem well-chosen furniture.
Families with children often face the need to allocate play and learning space. For example, to divide a room into two parts, you can install a children's closet to store toys and clothes. This enclosing structure performs several functions simultaneously. If this option cannot be implemented, designers advise purchasing loft bed, under which you can place a student’s desk or sofa. This technique is suitable not only for a studio, but also for a small apartment.
Another important point – separation of the sleeping area in a one-room apartment. If dimensions allow, you can fence off the bed completely or partially using a plasterboard partition. There are several options for converting a 1-room apartment into a two-room apartment (for example, installing furniture, shelves or racks). Sliding doors They are also used to separate the bedroom, but this method is not always comfortable enough. Designers advise giving preference thread curtains, which create the appearance of a separate room without cluttering the space.
If the ceiling height reaches 3 m, division of the room can be avoided by installing a bed or desk “on the second tier”. An unusual and practical solution would be to install a raised bed. There are many options for installing multi-level furniture today. Another difficulty when creating the design of a one-room apartment can be the organization of a work area. Convenient way– expansion of the window sill and installation of a countertop.
If it is possible to make custom-made furniture, the tabletop should be placed above the lower parts, and shelving should be placed on top.
You can combine a working and sleeping place: install a podium. There is a working area on it, and under it there is a bed that moves out using wheels. This solution today is considered non-standard and quite creative. More traditional version podium – sliding and rising tabletops. In a room with a niche, there is no need to install shelving: the shelves can be fitted into the wall opening.
The podium is well suited for the need to create two cozy full bedrooms in one room. This option will do families with a teenager or two friends. IN in this case one sleeping place is located on the podium, and a retractable wardrobe is installed under it. The podium visually separates the sleeping areas and improves the proportions of the room. But it can just as easily overload a room.
Current color solutions
A well-thought-out color scheme will visually expand the room. Preference is usually given to light shades and warm colors, they are in no hurry to use cold colors: being in such an apartment is not so comfortable and cozy. Don't go overboard with color brightness– this choice is not suitable for general use. Emphasis should be placed on highlighting a specific functional area.
Green, brown tones and different shades of blue are suitable for creating an atmosphere of relaxation in the design of a one-room apartment. These colors go well with white and pastel colors (perfect combination to highlight a sleeping area or relaxation space). Positive impact on psychological state render light colors: yellow, beige or peach. These colors should be given preference when decorating living rooms.
Red has a stimulating effect and can cause rapid fatigue. The pink tint can also provoke open aggression, but only among the stronger half of humanity. For the female half of the population, staying in an apartment with a pink design is pleasant and cozy. Neutral beige and cream shades will please everyone. Light walls and ceilings can significantly enlarge a room.
You can complement this interior with hidden lamps built into the ceiling. The color of the curtains should be chosen according to wall color, so that the interior looks completely harmonious.
There is an opinion that a black and white interior is only suitable office premises, but this is far from the case.
If you remember a few rules, any black and white room will emphasize the individuality of the owners, will look expensive and elegant. Equal balance should be avoided - one color should prevail over the other. The ornament can only be combined with monochrome surfaces. A combination of several different patterns is allowed if one of them dominates.
When choosing a color scheme small room preference is given to white. Beautiful visual effect creates a combination of dark furniture and light walls and vice versa. Massive furniture looks appropriate in an interior with ornaments. If there is a bay window in the room, but there is no easy access to it, you should use it as a place to store books. The main disadvantage of designing a room in a monochrome style is the need to constantly maintain cleanliness and sufficient lighting.
Lighting and furnishings
A well-thought-out lighting system plays an important role in creating comfort. Light can significantly expand a space, which is a definite plus for small spaces. It is allowed to use different types of lighting fixtures if they fit harmoniously into the interior interior. The functionality of individual zones will be emphasized by local lighting. Each zone may use a different type of lighting.
IN traditional method The lighting settings highlight the following areas of the room:
- lower zone – dark side;
- average – in terms of illumination and functionality;
- the main or upper part is the most illuminated part of the room.
The above scheme is close to natural lighting and is the most physiological. There are several new products for visual increase space with the help of light. The room can be lengthened by highlighting the cold part of the spectrum of one of the walls. Its tint will help raise the ceiling, and the light built into them will help move the walls apart.
In addition to general lighting on the ceiling, it is a good idea to install lamps above the bed or in the work area. Local lighting is necessary to create comfort; it is used more often than overhead light. Glossy panels on the walls and ceiling will help expand the space of the room, but you should not overdo it with such coatings. Installing large chandeliers in rooms with low ceilings is considered a serious violation, so you should not overload the ceiling with parts.
A competent choice of furniture will be a logical addition to the interior design.
Wide beds and massive walls are not suitable for arranging small rooms, as they will only create discomfort. An alternative would be transformable or built-in furniture. This will not clutter up the space and can be folded after use.
Wall slides are ergonomic and inexpensive option. Folding furniture provides storage space, which is why people prefer it. Bedding can be stored in a tray box. It is customary to get rid of excess cabinets and chests of drawers by installing a pantry or a wardrobe built into the wall.
When choosing kitchen furniture one should remember her role in the family. If the room is not particularly popular, there is no need to purchase a large dining table. It will be more rational to buy a small folding structure.
It must be remembered that furniture plays an important role in zoning space. Therefore, installing a bar counter-partition will help separate the kitchen area from the living room or bedroom. Wardrobes with mirrored fronts will visually make the room wider. Free surfaces should be used to the maximum, but clutter should not be allowed.
How to visually expand space
Many people are faced with the problem of increasing the space of a room by dismantling walls or partitions. In such cases, it is better to use optical illusions to visually expand a small room. One of the most affordable options is to achieve such a visual effect using wallpaper. They should be selected with small patterns or vertical stripes.
A good solution would be combining walls with wallpaper of two tones: It is preferable to make the upper part of the walls light and the lower part dark. The effect of wallpaper in a small room can be enhanced by choosing appropriate curtains. On a dimly lit wall, you should stick wallpaper a tone lighter than on a more illuminated surface.
In rooms with large windows You can use curtains of a light palette made of airy fabrics. Designers advise choosing curtains that lie slightly on the floor. Bulky, heavy curtains, as well as multi-layer structures, look out of place in cramped spaces. Vertical striped fabric will add height to the space. Using cool shades will visually lengthen the room.
Shelves should be matched to the walls: this will add airiness to the space.
Decorating the walls of the hall with a fresco or photo wallpaper is a good option not only for increasing the volume of the room, but also for adding uniqueness and individuality to the style. It is better to opt for a perspective image (a bridge, a road stretching into the distance, or a seascape). In the nursery, above the crib you can place an image of fairy tale characters. But we must not forget that should be avoided too bright colors . Frescoes depicting heaven and a suspended ceiling in a similar color scheme will add height to the room.
Style
The comfort and coziness of the future apartment largely depends on the competent choice of style. There are many types of apartment design; some of them will be discussed below.
Minimalism
Minimalism is one of the most strict and restrained styles in interior design. This direction is characterized by the following principles:
- The basis is a spacious room, open plan. Premises with partitions and an abundance of rooms are transformed: the space is made free. Walls that cannot be demolished are partially dismantled, replacing narrow doorways with wide arches.
- The main feature of style is the absence small decor. The interior should not contain objects that do not play a useful role.
- Preference is given to correct geometry. The furniture design is strict and laconic with a clearly defined form. Furniture should be chosen in a single color and without unnecessary details.
- This direction uses three basic colors in the interior: two colors are the basis of the interior, and the third creates accents. The most popular basic colors are grey, black and white; accents are usually made with bright colors (red, yellow or blue).
- Materials should be chosen natural (polished stone or marble, wood or glass).
Scandinavian style
This style is based on creating comfort and harmony using natural light and pastel colors. Often chosen white to visually increase space and add sophistication to the room. Wooden surfaces complement bright interior, giving Scandinavian style a natural balance. The tones and textures of finishing materials should have a delicate texture.
One of the most important aspects in design is the environmental friendliness of materials. Furniture and textiles should be chosen of natural origin. Thanks to its structure, aluminum perfectly complements the interior. Kitchen and shower accessories are commonly made from this material. door handles and floor lamps.
The walls are lined with natural stone or wood panels, and also covered with decorative plaster.
Loft
The loft is instantly recognizable in the interior. To design a city apartment in this style, you need to rely on the following principles:
- Only shower rooms and toilets can be closed. The rest of the layout should be open.
- Preference is given to panoramic skylights no curtains or curtains.
- It is not customary to cover walls with wallpaper or cover them with plastic. Naked brickwork or a whitewashed concrete surface are the hallmark of the loft style. Less commonly, surfaces are sheathed with sheets of plywood or metal.
- The floors are lined with wood or artificial marble slabs.
- The ceilings in the rooms should be high. Wires for lighting can run down them, and communication pipes can pass through them. Sometimes special wooden load-bearing or false beams are installed.
- The large height of the room allows you to install a second residential tier, which can be accessed using a stationary or extension ladder.
- When choosing furniture, preference should be given to modern multifunctional or antique-style furniture.
Hi-tech
Modern and minimal hi-tech style requires strict geometry and open space. A strict rule characterizing this style is the obligatory presence in the interior of a significant amount of metal, chrome and exclusively innovative equipment. High-tech takes its inspiration from industrial structures, Therefore, decorative items resemble geometric shapes, and modified furniture and decorative metal tubes are ideal attributes.
When decorating premises in this style, you must choose new technologies and modern materials. The color scheme is “cold” with a predominance of light gray shades, blue, and less often black or white. It is important to remember that bright prints with floral images and patterns are prohibited. Bright accent there can only be one in the interior.
Classic style
Classic interior design is characterized by harmony and royal scope. In this style, adherence to the rules of classicism is accepted. Particular attention should be paid to finishing materials: ceiling painting, stucco molding and friezes are welcome. The columns in the main rooms are reminiscent of Renaissance art.
Chic and color balance are important for style, so preference should be given to beige, olive and milky shades.
The walls can be upholstered with fabric or covered with decorative plaster. Furniture items should be massive, but elegant. Antique furniture will add chic to the interior. Classic flowing shapes are the face of style. Sofas are upholstered in velvet, cotton in noble colors or natural silk. Massive forged or crystal chandeliers are an important detail; light accents should be placed correctly. Thanks to the lower light, you can create additional comfort.
Men's style
Style young man- a simple, practical and rational direction in design, the key characteristic of which is quick access to all the necessary things. There are no cluttering parts in the furniture composition, which helps ensure freedom of movement. The decor is often presented in the form of paintings or models of weapons. The predominant colors are white, black or gray tones, emphasizing severity.
There are practically no graceful folds or smoothed corners in this business interior. When combined with household appliances, square and rectangular objects add aggression to the interior. It is not customary to install decorated chandeliers on ceilings, preference is given to floor lamps or sconces. Such devices must provide sufficient illumination without standing out from the general background.
An important requirement for the hallway in a one-room apartment is the location of the closet with clothes. If the doors of the dressing room are lined with glass, the room will look more spacious. Mirror front door will not only create the illusion of a long corridor, but will also complete the image. If the bathroom does not allow installing a washing machine, It makes sense to take it out and put it in the closet.
False walls with a reflective panel or window can be placed opposite the entrance to the room (if there is a need to fence off any room). Such a visual barrier does not burden the interior.
A good option for those who do not spend a lot of time cooking is american style layouts. Open kitchen at the entrance will help to enlarge the bedroom. We should not forget: like any redevelopment, such a solution requires coordination and compliance with the following technical conditions. We will not allow the demolition of the main wall and the dismantling of the stiffening frame.
To save bearing capacity building, it is necessary to first strengthen the partition with the future opening.
Massive tables in a small living room look bulky. It is better to give preference to the option without corners, which allows you to position larger number people. And the one who rarely arranges gala dinners, dining table can be replaced with a magazine or work one. Multifunctional furniture is the key to success in saving space in small spaces.

The best option would be the absence of unnecessary details, which will make the room more spacious. To determine a suitable layout, a number of factors are taken into account.
The layout of a small one-room apartment or studio involves arrangement of only the main areas. This takes into account the number of people living in the premises. For a married couple without children or a single person, the optimal layout is one that includes a sleeping area, a workplace, and a TV. The kitchen is separated by a solid wall and serves as a kitchen-dining room. An effective solution To increase space is to combine a kitchen and a room.

It’s easy to make a spacious room cozy and functional. In a one-room apartment with an area of 33 sq. m. At the same time, a small dressing room is often equipped in a room or hallway, which is much more practical than a classic wardrobe. A partition is installed in the room, separating the bedroom and living room. A simple option is to combine a living room and a bedroom, but the furniture should be transformable.
Zoning using partitions
An effective method of dividing space is partitions. Elements of various types allow you to zone a one-room apartment and create comfortable conditions. The space is often divided using plasterboard partitions, mobile screens, curtains and other options. The details are optimal for a one-room apartment with an area of more than 18 square meters. m. This is due to the fact that the apartment in Khrushchev is very small in size, and partitions will make the space less free and comfortable.
The most voluminous plasterboard partitions, since when they are created, part of the usable area is lost. This option is optimal for a spacious room. In a small apartment, movable screens and curtains are often used. The elements are compact and allow you to separate the necessary zones. Partitions designed like compartment doors are often used. The design is arranged clearly around the sleeping area and separates the living room from the relaxation area.
In a one-room apartment with an area of less than 18 square meters. best avoided various partitions. The presence of a loggia or balcony allows you to expand the space by insulating and arranging these additional square meters. As an exception, it is worth separating the sleeping area, but often a transforming sofa is a sleeping place and furniture for the living room. In a small one-room apartment of 14 sq. m. it is very difficult to separate functional zones and therefore in this case partitions are not used.
The most complex partition option is a plasterboard construction. The construction is practical, convenient, but requires correct installation. This is due to the fact that the material is sensitive to various factors. At the same time, plasterboard structures are best suited for a spacious one-room apartment.
Choosing a style for interior design
