Bedroom-living room 15-16 sq. m: design options and zoning features

The main problem for young families is the lack of space or a small number of rooms in the new home. In this case, the owners resort to dividing one room into several zones. Most often, there is a need to create a bedroom-living room. After all, if the apartment has only one main room, you need to think about how to equip it both for relaxation and for receiving guests. Consider how you can arrange a room with an area of ​​15-16 sq. m, and how to divide it into separate zones.

First of all, it is important to consider that from one room we will get two, which means that there will not be much space. Finishing in this case plays an important role.

• Walls. There are a lot of wall decoration options. For example, they can be simply painted over or structural plaster can be used. In order to visually expand the space, use three-dimensional drawings or wallpaper.

• Floor. The ideal solution for flooring will be laminate, better than dark shades. If finances do not allow you to purchase laminate, you can also use linoleum. And if you want to make your room more comfortable, then carpet will help you with this.

• Ceiling. If the ceiling is high enough, then it can be painted with a dark color, and if it is not high, on the contrary, with white or another light tone. Multilevel ceilings will also visually expand the space (if the project of the room provides for this).

A room divided into zones is important not to overflow with details. Here are a few styles that will work for your living room bedroom.

• Classic. This is a universal style: discreet colors, few bright details, emphasis on furniture, the predominance of natural materials and colors in the decoration.

• Minimalism. This style is characterized by its monotony and the presence of small bright details. At the same time, predominantly white, gray, black and light blue colors are used in the interior.

• Modern. If you want to add comfort to your home, then the Art Nouveau style is what you need. Style direction: indoor plants, natural pastel colors, carpets, various geometric shapes and paintings - that is, everything that will soften and make the atmosphere more comfortable.

• Modern. Light colors and an almost complete lack of decor are the hallmarks of this style. The emphasis here is on oversized furniture.

• Loft. This is probably one of the most "brutal" styles. Loft combines softness and hardness. Space and a minimum of furniture create a comfortable environment. The style implies wall decoration with brick or wood panels, modern equipment and technology, minimalist lamps and lamps. Colors: black, gray, red, orange and white.

• Ethno. This is a pretty bold style, but if you place the accents correctly, you get a very interesting living area.

• Scandinavian style. If you want your room to look light and casual, then do it in a Scandinavian style. In many ways, it is similar to minimalism. And all that is needed to create this style is walls of light shades, discreet wooden and upholstered furniture and delicate soft textiles.

• Country. It is notable for its rustic details: framed photos, checkered or planked walls, wooden parquet, various ceramic details and wooden furniture. Natural tones prevail: brown, green, white, yellow.

• English. The English style is somewhat similar to the loft style. But its main difference is aristocracy. Each detail should be selected with taste: floor lamps and lamps, a leather sofa, shelves with books, bulky furniture, wooden accessories, wallpaper with a brick or small pattern.

Let's talk about zoning a room with an area of ​​15-16 sq. m for the bedroom and living room. To make it comfortable to be in the room, it is important to take into account several details:

• the bed should be located farther from the door, so as not to make the recreation area a walk-through, and closer to the window, in order to visually increase the space;
• the whole room must be maintained in one style, otherwise you will simply overload it with details;
• if you want to develop your own unique and unusual design of such a room, you should trust an experienced designer;
• it is important to think in advance about where and how to place the partition in accordance with the layout so that the room is comfortable and convenient to be in.

So, let's consider a variety of options for dividing a room into two zones: a bedroom and a living room.

Partitions are a great option for dividing a room into two independent zones. Sixteen squares are fairly easy to place any partition. It can be either a plasterboard fence from floor to ceiling, or a partial partition in the form of columns. Also for this purpose, you can use metal and wooden gratings. It will be enough to simply designate the division of the room into two zones.

Another option for zoning is a movable fence. The convenience of the design is that it can be removed at any time or rearranged to another place, and it will also become a very interesting and bright detail in the interior. But such a partition takes up a lot of space, so it is important to take this into account when designing a room.

Recently, preference has been given to just such structures, since they take up very little space and completely divide the room into two parts. Sliding structures are made of metal, plastic, wood. You can also purchase partitions made of papyrus or dense fabric, such a detail will soften your interior.

The easiest and most convenient zoning option is dividing with curtains or curtains. They can be changed and also removed at any time. Placing curtains around the bed creates an isolated sleeping area.

A very bold but interesting and functional design solution. You can put a bed on the podium, and drawers can be placed in the structure. This design will save space and provide a seating area.

With the help of competent lighting, you can also divide a room into several zones. It is desirable that there is a window in each part of the room, but if there is only one window, then it is better to place the bed with it so that there is natural light in the resting place.

In this case, the rack acts as a partition. On the shelves you can put dishes or books, any small figurines, accessories. The walk-through shelves provide an even distribution of light.

It turns out that furniture can also be used to delineate a room. For example, a sofa can be placed close to the bed, then the room is visually divided into two zones. Also, on the side of the bed, you can put a wardrobe or wardrobe with a mirror (mirrors visually add space to the room).

Zoning a room is also possible with the help of light. But it is important to remember that the colors should not be too harsh and bright, you need a smooth transition. For example, if you want a room in blue and light blue, then the bedroom area should be decorated with a combination of light blue and white, and the living room with blue.

There are two more very stylish options for the partition.

• Aquarium. The aquarium will create an unusual marine atmosphere in the room.
• Hedge. This partition is suitable for lovers of nature and indoor plants. To do this, you will need an iron or wooden trellis, as well as any climbing plant. If there are stands on such a rack, then you can also put flowers in pots.

After the repair has been made and an approximate project of the room has been developed, you can start choosing furniture.

An excellent option would be a bed combined with a wardrobe, this will significantly save space. If you still want a separate wardrobe, then choose a wardrobe with a mirror or a glossy surface. Furniture should be compact and functional. Therefore, folding beds, tables, pull-out shelves will perfectly fit into the design of your room.

If you look at it, then designing a bedroom-living room is not such a difficult business. It is enough to have a basic understanding of design, color combinations and proper lighting. And everything else depends on your imagination.
