When planning a renovation of a one-bedroom apartment, don’t be afraid of experiments and interesting design solutions: the space will allow them to be implemented. The main thing is that every inch is used rationally, and the design of a new home is worked out not only from the point of view of beauty and originality but also takes into account the functional purpose of various zones and the needs of all family members. Think about the convenience of the layout, feel free to use non-standard solutions, and then as a result of the renovation you will get a modern, comfortable apartment that reflects your individuality.
A living space is always divided into spaces that perform specific tasks: kitchen, bathroom, and hallway. When renovating a one-bedroom apartment, you can use different zoning options. For example, define a separate room for the kitchen or combine it with the living room. The bathroom is made separate or combined. This is the first thing that needs to be reflected in a future renovation project.
The simplest option for redevelopment-zoning is to install partitions. Partitions can be permanent or temporary, movable. The choice of materials for the manufacture of partitions is quite large, which allows us to solve, in addition to the main task, the task of creating an original decor. Sliding aluminum glass doors, doors that open in the front plane of cabinets, and folding doors are well-suited when it is necessary to save space.
Pieces of furniture are often used as partitions. A high wall or dressing room can separate the sleeping area from the common seating area with a TV and sofa. At the same time, it is important to arrange the furniture correctly so as not to make it difficult to move around the apartment and to fully use its functionality.
In small areas, the technique of dividing into zones using color or different finishing materials looks beneficial. Wallpaper or floor coverings of different colors visually highlight each functional area without wasting precious square meters.
Various types of curtains and screens do not take up much space and perform decorative functions, so they can be considered as an alternative when zoning the interior. Uneven-height floors or podiums serve the same purpose. A sleeping place or work area is organized on the podium, and the internal space is used as a storage system.
Modern, functional, and compact furniture is an important part of the design of a one-room apartment. Selecting furniture that simultaneously possesses all these qualities will ensure a good final result.
Sliding wardrobes are very convenient for large-sized furniture for a small apartment. Sliding doors save space; there is enough space inside to store things for the whole family; the wardrobe can be used as an interior partition, a corner cabinet, or placed along the wall. Mirrored doors, which are often equipped with sliding wardrobes, will visually increase the area of the room and eliminate the need to purchase an additional full-length mirror.
It's hard to imagine an apartment without a full-fledged sleeping place. A bed is a fairly large piece of furniture that takes up a lot of space. When choosing furniture for a small apartment, many people abandon the bed in favor of a folding sofa, forgetting that now there are models of folding beds that are more compact and no less comfortable.
A modern apartment, as a rule, contains a large number of household appliances. In the design of a one-bedroom apartment, it is better to use multifunctional models. A large flat-screen TV will look great on the wall; make a special shelf for the media center; you can store small items on it that should always be at hand.
In the living room or dining room, you can use folding tables and chairs. When designing a studio apartment, think about the bar counter. It is convenient for preparing and consuming food, quite impressive in terms of design, and takes up less space than a regular dining table.
The kitchen can have either a linear or corner layout, depending on the configuration of the room. On a square area, it is more profitable to use a corner layout; a linear layout is more often used in elongated rooms or studio apartments.
Ensure good ventilation if your cooking area is combined with the living room so that the entire living area is not saturated with kitchen odors. For a separate kitchen, choosing furniture and decoration is a little easier, since there is no need for it to perfectly match the style of the living area.
The most appropriate colors for use in the kitchen interior are:
Yellow color will evoke positive emotions. Red will tire the residents of the apartment.
The choice of the main color scheme is also important because the rest of the decor will be selected taking it into account. Furniture upholstery, curtains, and decorations should be combined with the basic color scheme and with each other.
In a small room, any disharmony will be more noticeable and irritating, so stick to the basic principles:
The color of the furniture set is important because many pieces of furniture need to be placed in a small area. It is better to opt for light colors: white, beige, blue. It is better not to use dark colors as primary colors, but only as additional ones. If you prefer a dark finish to the room, then be sure to use white furniture, this will help visually expand the space.
In addition to their direct purpose, mirrors are a universal decorative element. They are often used to implement design ideas. For example, a mirrored ceiling will visually enlarge the room and make it higher. By installing a mirror surface on the ceiling, you will give the room more volume. If you extend the ceiling onto the wall and correctly place the light sources, you can achieve a very interesting effect and give the interior lightness.
Proper lighting is an indispensable element in the design of a one-bedroom apartment. Dim and weak lighting will make an already small room even more cramped and cluttered. There should be a lot of light, only through this can the space be expanded.
Lighting also plays an important role in zoning. By making different lighting in different functional areas, you will thereby emphasize their purpose. Currently, a very wide selection of lamps with different shades and types of lamps is offered, which allows you to create a complete lighting design for the room. To prevent bright light from being too tiring, install trigger switches that allow you to adjust the lighting, or dimming elements on the lamps.
