How to furnish a one-room apartment?

Cozy, convenient and proper furnishing of a one-room apartment is a difficult task not only for the owner, but also for a professional designer. Thanks to new materials and modern solutions, dealing with this problem has become much easier. Furniture manufacturers offer a huge number of options for a small apartment.

As with all serious work, you need to draw up a plan of action. Choose the design and furniture that suits your needs. Coziness and comfort of living depends on the correct planning of a one-room apartment. The ability to create and design a space for your family yourself is inspiring and pleasing. Therefore, it is necessary to take this issue seriously:

• see the project of the apartment, noting for yourself its area and shape;
• consider whether there is a balcony or loggia, because it is there that the office can be located;
• make zoning and strictly determine what this or that part of the room will be intended for;
• count the number of windows and doors;
• find out how many people will live in the room;
• find out where the heating devices, gas water heaters and other communications are located, which cannot be transferred;
• take into account the quality of the renovation, color, light, style of the premises after its purchase and compare with the desired one.

All this must be taken into account before you start furnishing a one-room apartment with furniture.... For example, baroque or rococo is hardly suitable for a one-room apartment, so the style of the room should be chosen carefully.

It all depends on your taste and style in a one-room apartment. There are many options. If it is possible to remove the interior partitions, then the best option is to make a studio out of a room of 20 squares. This will increase the area and space for a comfortable stay. Furniture for apartments of 15-16 square meters is better to pick up on legs. This will give it lightness, airiness. It will seem to float in the air.

It is desirable that the doors on the cabinets are transparent or mirrored. This will create the effect of volume and the illusion of increased space. A coffee table with a glass top will enhance this feeling. You can zone the space in a small room using shelving, partitions with through or blind shelves, curtains, screens or sliding doors. This should not be a problem for you, your desires are not limited by anything. But do not overuse this moment.

Furniture can be either iron, wood or plastic. It depends only on your desire and capabilities. The manufacturer gives you the freedom to choose. Much depends on the style of the apartment. This could be:

• loft;
• high tech;
• provence;
• rustic;
• Swedish.

For small apartments, you need to choose furniture with great functionality. This will give options for imagination and implementation of your plans. The choice is huge:

• sofa bed;
• table transformer;
• armchair-bed;
• closet.

The more functions a thing performs, the better for everyday comfort.... Now in stores there is a large selection of furniture that can be used for a small apartment. It all depends on who and what this apartment is intended for.

The sleeping place is almost always fenced off from the rest of the space. This can be done with podium... Under it, equip storage boxes, and on the podium itself - a berth. After sleeping, all bedding is removed and the space is free. It looks unusual and beautiful. This option is used by many designers. There is a sofa and an armchair-bed already mentioned above. Very helpful in saving space for other needs. Manufacturers make a large number of variants of this furniture for any design. Also with additional places for the necessary things. You do not need to fence them off; after assembly, the bedroom turns into a living room.

The folding bed option is best suited for small rooms. It is built into the wall or into the furniture wall. It turns out that the furniture takes up space only when unfolded. This option is very popular with children and adolescents. After the night, the bed is tucked into a niche in the wall. A full bed can also take its place in the "odnushka". It is separated by a screen or curtains, possibly a partition.

It will be more difficult with one or two children in a one-room apartment. While children are small, they will not need much space. But with age, you will have to find a solution for the location of the bed and furniture. Children need places to sleep and study. Here you cannot do without a partition. It is easy to make it from drywall sheets and soundproofing materials. The child will be cozy and comfortable behind the wall.

Today, a lot of combined furniture for children is produced. A bed in combination with a table and a wardrobe will provide the child with everything he needs. A place to sleep, to study, to store things and toys. Transformation and combination is just a godsend for the owners of small rooms to arrange everything according to feng shui and competently. For children, their personal territory is important. And if you meet all the conditions, your child will be happy, and homework and other activities will be completed without problems.

Such furniture usually does not take up much space. Two children will need at least one more bed. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of options. These are built-in beds, and twin, and bunk beds. Here it is worth pondering and consulting with children about their desires.... Therefore, it remains only to draw up a plan and choose which of the options is suitable for your apartment.

Of course, the area allocated for the child will significantly reduce your already small living space. It is considered a good option if the room has a balcony or loggia. They can be insulated and thereby increase the usable area for living. It is quite possible to make a sleeping place, an office or a nursery in them.

Many of the owners of 1-room "Khrushchevs" demolish the partition between the kitchen and the room and make a studio. This allows you to expand the space and space for design imagination. The studio room becomes brighter and more airy. There is a wider choice of furniture and its location. You can zone the kitchen from the living space with a counter bar. This solution allows you to get rid of the table by using the stand instead. Looks stylish and trendy.

It is advisable to choose a kitchen set in an angular shape. This will increase the capacity and conserve space. With new technologies, not a single remote location in closets will be lost. There are mobile shelves that take up a minimum of space in the kitchen wall. This option uses a large number of people to optimize the room.

Immediately it is necessary to plan the placement of built-in household appliances. There are many manufacturers, it's up to you to choose. This is a very important point, and it is necessary to focus all your attention on this:

• oven;
• hob;
• dishwasher;
• microwave;
• coffee machine;
• fridge;
• double boiler.

All these necessary appliances should be built into the kitchen set, if possible. Otherwise, they will occupy precious space, and it is already sorely lacking. It is necessary to know the dimensions and functionality of all household appliances that are going to be installed. There are not only obvious advantages to the studio, but also some disadvantages. When cooking in the kitchen, smells will spread throughout the apartment, be absorbed into upholstered furniture and things. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase a powerful hood and a modern air purifier.

Another disadvantage of a studio apartment is the lack of privacy.... Guests or relatives come and you cannot leave them in the kitchen or in the room because you have a combined space. Therefore, it is necessary to zone and enclose the sleeping place. If a person lives alone, then this is not fundamental. If you do not demolish the partition between the kitchen and the room, then the kitchen corner remains the same as in the first version. You can simply enlarge the working or dining area by using a window sill by extending the table top to the window and replacing the window sill with it. This will fit perfectly into the interior and will allow you to place additional places there for eating or for work.

Hallways in "Khrushchevs" are small, but there are also many options for development. A sliding wardrobe is needed in the hallway. It will help you optimize storage space. For outerwear, you can put a separate hanger. Mezzanines will help clean things that are used seasonally or infrequently. It can be closed shelves or wall cabinets. You can simply put on a coat hanger if the room has a closet for other things.

Shoes are a separate topic of conversation. You need a certain place for it... The shoe cabinet must be located in the hallway. It is voluminous and takes up a lot of space. Fortunately, now there is a large selection in the storage of these necessary things. It is advisable to make a warm floor in the hallway. In autumn or winter, it will help dry your shoes and get rid of dirt. It is also additional heating for the apartment. You can combine the wardrobe and shoe rack together - this is a great option to save space in the hallway.
