Residential design uses countlessmany different techniques to make the interior more beautiful, create a comfortable environment and give uniqueness to each room. One of the most common design techniques is space zoning. Dividing a room into zones performs two important functions - aesthetic and practical. After all, every square meter of the room is used as rationally as possible, while non-standard approaches to choosing color schemes, accessories and furniture create a dynamic space.
The plasterboard wall helps to separate the hallway andliving room, preserving the airiness and spaciousness of the rooms. Zoning aims to visually separate zones of different purposes, divide the space into common and private zones, visually change the proportions of different zones of the room and the size of the room itself.
The main techniques of space division
Zoning of space as a design technique has the following methods, each of which is used depending on the purpose of dividing the living room into zones:
The living room is not separated from the hallway, butis zoned using flooring materials of different textures and colors. Which zoning method to choose for a particular room depends on its type, original size and shape, as well as the desired design style. Thus, zoning a rectangular living room will require, first of all, the correct use of furniture and carpet. False partitions are often used to zone a bedroom, dividing the space advantageously. It is necessary to take into account the rules of zoning so that the resulting space is multifunctional, practical, uncluttered, corresponds to the chosen overall style and meets the needs of the residents. Most often, zoning is in demand when , living room and hallway, living room and bedroom. Along with this, division into work, play and recreation areas is possible in any of the rooms of a multi-room apartment, in a studio apartment or a small apartment. Return to contents</a>
Entrance and living room: zoning, amalgamation and decoration
A small hallway can be separated from the living rooma bookcase with through shelves. For owners of a fairly small hallway, designers often recommend combining its space with the living room. In this case, easily erected decorative structures and decor elements are used: walls, columns, mirrors, panels, lighting. If the hallway is quite large, its zoning and decor can be done with partitions, furniture, plants in large containers and large figurines. The unification of two such important spaces in any apartment as a hallway and a living room is carried out using a number of techniques - translucent partitions, combined flooring, combined wall finishing materials, furniture and lighting. It is important to maintain the harmony of style and the combination of colors of these spaces to create visual space. The hallway must have an entrance area and a hall area. The entrance part can be separated from the hall with tall furniture. And the hall and the transition to the living room can be decorated with banquettes, a fireplace, armchairs. Horizontal (changing the color and texture of the finish) or vertical types of zoning (false floors and false ceilings) will correct the unsuccessful proportions of the room, reduce or expand the space, play up all the necessary parts and create a cozy atmosphere. Competent and interesting decor using wood, glass, metal, textiles and interior elements (lamps with lampshades, candlesticks, shelves, vases, paintings, chandeliers, moldings) will bring individuality and emphasize individual zones. The living room, which is the center of any house and unites all the other rooms around itself, when zoned with the hallway acquires a special interior, in which there is room not only for original coloring, but also for functionality and comfort. Such a living room is always stylish, sophisticated and spectacular.
