What do our one-room apartments lack?Of course, a normal isolated sleeping place. How to make it and what professional designers think about it - we figure it out today We learned that the most common problem of small one-room apartments is the allocation of an isolated sleeping place. Small apartments are already small, the area of a single room often does not exceed 14 square meters. If you start to build massive partitions in it, the apartment will immediately begin to look like an even more cramped box. Therefore, today we figure out how to make a bedroom in a small apartment a private zone. We analyzed the information, asked designers and learned that there are several fairly simple ways to zone the space in a room, which, among other things, do not require significant financial investments. Partition with an open shelving unit This is perhaps not just the most affordable way to separate zones in a one-room apartment, but also the most practical. After all, you can also put something on the shelving unit. Beautiful boxes, wicker baskets - all this will additionally decorate the room. The area of this apartment is 41 square meters, the area of the room is 18 square meters. The space is divided by a rather ordinary, even intentionally primitive white shelving unit, which does not attract any unnecessary attention. However, it is successfully placed folders, books and boxes of black color.
Another apartment with open shelvingused as a partition for zoning the space in the room, is located on 35 square meters. And in the center of this shelf there is a place for a TV. Another interesting and practical example.
Shelves can be of absolutely any shape andsizes. And most often even different colors - depending on the color and style solution of your apartment, of course. Editorial opinion: - Whatever shape of the rack you choose, there is one "but" that must be observed so that when zoning a one-room apartment you do not turn it into an even more cramped and dark apartment. It is best to make racks in light colors, or tone on tone to the color of the walls or floor. Only in this case it will not seem like a bulky object, but will cleverly divide the room into zones.
Zoning with a screen This technique is morewill appeal to romantic persons, will perfectly suit girls living in a one-room apartment alone or with a child. Moreover, in order to divide a room into zones with a screen, no construction or repair skills are needed. Just choose a suitable one and put it in the room, having previously found the best place for the bed.
Zoning with partitions This typedividing the space is a little more complicated and expensive. It requires construction and repair work. But it definitely pays off. The area of this apartment in France is only 35 square meters, five of which were allocated for a sleeping area. And opposite the bed, they also designed a dressing room with a large mirror - a great solution.
Marina Sarkisyan, designer:— When developing projects for one-room apartments, you face a dilemma: to use the room as a living room or as a bedroom, and with a great desire to combine both. In such cases, screens, partitions, and shelving units (IKEA shelving units are a good choice) come to the rescue. And since I believe that a night's rest should be complete, I try to use this technique in my projects. A wardrobe, display cases for dishes, and bookcases can be built into the partition. But the presence of a balcony allows you to use it both for storing things and for organizing a workplace. If a family of three lives in a one-room apartment, for example, a mother, father, and a child, then in this case it is possible to organize a full-fledged sleeping place for the child. A loft bed with a workplace organized underneath will do. Partitions can be low, only covering the bed. Or they can be additionally glazed, or even curtained.
Zoning with a wardrobe This option is almostidentical to zoning with shelves. But a little more conservative. It is best if the cabinet is narrow and high, up to the ceiling. And it is better to order the manufacture of such a cabinet according to individual dimensions, since it is sometimes impossible to find a suitable one in the store. Here, as with shelves, it is desirable that the cabinet be matched to the tone of the walls or floor.
Evgeniya Ignatova, designer, teacher,author and coordinator of the educational project Design Experience — A person needs to feel safe in order to rest and relax. At the level of instincts, it is laid down that for a good night's sleep a closed place is needed, and spaces that preserve the privacy of the place. Even historically, if we look at the interiors of palaces, we see that the bedrooms were spacious and with high ceilings, but the bed was surrounded by a canopy, the sleeping place itself was hidden from prying eyes. Of course, in addition to maintaining an atmosphere of privacy, there were other functions, such as heat conservation, protection, etc. Nowadays, when decorating a place to sleep, it is necessary to take into account that even if it is a studio where one person lives, and in one space he works and rests, it is necessary, at least nominally, for the sake of psychological comfort, to separate the bed from the rest of the space. In order not to overload the room with walls and cabinets, and also to make the sleeping place multifunctional (for example, during the day the sofa serves for friendly gatherings with a girlfriend or a short rest), you can use mobile panels made of textiles, which, if necessary, slide into one. In this case, the scope for creativity and decor is limitless, since the choice of beautiful fabrics exceeds all possible expectations and fantasies, so it is quite possible to make that very accent in the interior and play with it. ignatova-interiors.ru design-experience.ru/landing/ Zoning with curtains Many will say that this method is the dustiest of all options, but at the same time it is also one of the most basic and, as it turns out, popular. After all, hanging a curtain does not cost any effort. And often the layouts of Russian apartments themselves also have this: the presence of an alcove, which just fits a bed.
Editorial opinion:— If you still really want to zone the room with a curtain, but you can’t decide, remember your childhood dreams of a romantic canopy bed. Perhaps you had one, but if not, now is the time to try to make your childhood dream come true. The main thing is to remember to wash the curtain once or twice a month, so as not to suffocate from dust!
