Many modern apartments have enough space to provide a separate space for each family member. When decorating rooms for people of different ages, sex, it is necessary to take into account their interests, lifestyle. The room for a guy 18-25 years old is very different from the bedroom of a teenager, the office of a more adult man. The simplest or most unusual options for interior design are developed independently or with the participation of invited specialists.
The design of the room of a young man depends on the area of the premises provided to him - the design of the one-room “Khrushchev” differs from the spacious premises of a private house, an apartment in new buildings.
The following points are also taken into account:
age - the interests and hobbies of an 18-year-old school graduate or student are opposite to those present in the life of a 23-25 year old person who is already working;
functionality - the main thing in the room where a person spends a significant part of time - is convenience, and then beauty and fashionable style;
decor - most young men do without it;
layout - it is performed closed or open, combined rooms, studios are often equipped;
competent zoning - zones are allocated based on the area of the room, its purpose;
design decision - the choice of style is selected individually in each case;
occupation - the bedroom is intended only for rest and relaxation, or part of the work will take place here.
Zoning, furniture selection
In the youth’s room the guy is obligatorily allocated a rest and sleep area, a place for receiving guests, a work area, a corner for storing things, as well as a space where he will engage in his favorite hobbies, physical exercises, etc. There will be a lot of free space - it’s important not to litter it unnecessary items of furniture, various "trinkets".
Men's furniture is chosen as strong as possible, preferably from natural materials, preferably transformable. By color, it matches the color of the walls, curtains or contrasts sharply with the background. The basic set includes a single or one and a half bed, a table with a chair, a wardrobe, a bedside table, several shelves for books or a bookcase. If the place allows, equip a full-fledged recreation area, they place a small sofa, a couple of ottomans, a coffee table.
If a guy already has a girl, a double bed will be needed, the storage space will also have to be expanded, adapted for the couple.
Sleeping area
The sleeping area is often allocated with a carpet, which is purchased not too small - its edges do not reach the walls by only 15-20 cm. In rooms of a non-standard configuration, the bed is placed in a niche, bay window, and if the room is combined with a heated balcony, a loggia - it is taken out there.This place is made cozy, in vast spaces it is separated by a screen, shelving, plasterboard partition, including perforated. Opposite the bed, a TV is often placed on the wall, its dimensions directly depend on the available area - the larger the latter, the larger the screen. Sometimes it is installed on a narrow console, a massive pedestal.
Work zone
A workplace is a computer or ordinary desk with a chair, a cupboard or a bookcase, where books, documents are stored, office equipment is placed. At the age of 18-20, most young people are still studying, because the table for the "lessons" differs from the student’s workplace only in size.
For an older, 25-year-old person, if he does not work at home, the work area is cut a little, sometimes completely replaced by a computer, including a gaming one, with a powerful speaker system. At the same time, it becomes possible to expand the place for playing sports by putting there a bench for a bench press, one or two simulators. If the guy lives with the girl in the same room, separate space is allocated for her.
The working area should not be replete with unnecessary details - they can distract from important activities, interfere with focus.
Storage place
Storage of clothes, shoes, sports equipment, and other similar items is easy to organize inside the wardrobe, which is performed direct or angular, but as capacious as possible. They always hang a full-length mirror or make cabinet sliding doors mirror. It is easy to fold some of the clothes into a roomy chest of drawers, drawers that extend out from the bottom of the sofa, and if there is a podium in one of the zones, into it too.
Not all things are necessarily hidden in the compartment - some of them, on the contrary, are placed in the most prominent places, being part of the decoration. A skateboard, a pair of dumbbells will be placed on the wall, on the podium (if any) - speakers, a guitar or even a full drum kit. If desired, the wardrobe area is completely "cleaned" by a loggia, a warm balcony, neatly combined with the main room.In this case, it is necessary to take care of blackout curtains, blinds that hide the tenant from prying eyes.
Style
The stylistics of the interior of the men's room is selected based on the personal preferences of the person who will live in it. Some people prefer industrial or Gothic, art deco or provence, while others will like the completely minimalistic or classic version, Scandinavian style or high-tech. Romantic interiors, replete with rivulets, draperies, pastel colors, as well as intricate decor, are rarely chosen - cleaning in such a house is difficult, and most guys just do not have time for such “feats”.
High tech
This room is decorated in gray, blue, black and brown, and other cool colors. The lines are only straight, clear geometric patterns on the pieces of furniture are acceptable. The ceiling is painted in white, silver color, the surface is recommended to be made glossy, the walls are often painted the same, the floor is darker. Saturated shades are present in small quantities, only as necessary accents.
There is a lot of metal - chrome furniture legs, door handles, shiny shutters. Furniture is purchased predominantly modular, multi-functional, only the most minimally necessary. The room has an abundance of light - they illuminate each individual zone, there is decorative light, spot lighting. “The theme” will have a real telescope, metal-shiny guitars and drums, modern audio equipment, a huge screen TV, gaming computer. There is not much decor here - a couple of photos and a mirror in a strict metal frame, rude ceiling, wall lamps.
Classical
Many will like the classic - it’s not at all difficult to choose furniture for it, having acquired a ready-made set. The room is decorated in bright colors, most of the materials are natural.You can’t do without decor here - a small number of carved elements on furniture, stucco molding on the ceiling, including plastic, a couple of paintings or photo frames, will have to be in the subject. The furniture itself is made of wood, but chairs, rattan chairs are acceptable, the bed is often decorated with a high soft headboard - this is very convenient for those who are used to reading or working on a laptop in bed.
Window draperies are required here, but are made of non-marking fabric that is not able to collect dust. They are picked up for the rest of the room textile, decorated with a discreet pattern, such as monograms, meanders, etc. In the center of the ceiling they hang a large chandelier that gives a lot of light, but it should not interfere with the movement of the room even to a very tall man.
Loft
Loft design is easiest to organize in a spacious room with a high ceiling. The latter is made out of wooden, uncovered beams, false beams, pipes and wires. The walls are covered with plaster, brick-like panels or simply painted gray, beige, brown. The windows usually remain without any curtains, although light translucent options, which practically do not impede the entry of daylight into the room, are quite acceptable.
The wooden easel looks organically here, including a slate decorated with a shabby “old” cabinet on thick legs, floors from wide boards or expensive antique-style laminate. This design is diluted with posters with images of your favorite athletes and musicians, cars and motorcycles.
Minimalism
A minimalist interior is ideal for small spaces where there is a lot of furniture to be placed, decor is impossible. Only pure colors are used here - white, gray, beige, black, etc. The decor is practically absent: ideally, the room should look uninhabited - there should not be a prominent place for scattered clothes, books, gadgets, needlework.Draperies on furniture - only plain, materials - MDF, metal, glass, plastic. Windows are decorated with roller blinds or are not decorated with anything. Such an interior is ideal for a person who is rarely at home, but appreciates accuracy, does not accumulate excess items.
When the room is excessively cramped, instead of the bed they put a folding sofa, an attic bed, any other convenient transformer.
Brutalism
Recommended materials for decoration - raw stone, concrete, brick, rough wood. Spacious high room resembles a garage, attic, any non-residential premises. It is not necessary to decorate the walls here at all - the “bare” brick is optimal; in extreme cases, a couple of layers of black, dark blue paint are applied over the masonry, although red, ocher tones are acceptable. The floor is also painted black or create "stains" of several dark colors, the ceiling - wooden, concrete, with brickwork.
Despite the "cruel" design, this interior is able to become quite comfortable for the owner of the house, its guests. The right atmosphere is created by highlighting the necessary sections of space, several soft bean bags, zoning racks instead of partitions and cabinets, a leather sofa. Window textiles are acceptable, but it most often merges with gray walls, has a rough, “crumpled” texture.
Rustic
Such a design is difficult to implement in a city apartment, but for a private, rustic house, the option is ideal. Most of the decoration here is wooden, the furniture is mostly homemade, rough. Even the TV is disguised as a mirror in a carved frame. Primary colors - earthy gray, red brown, beige.
It is forbidden to paint anything here - to cover with a maximum of matte varnish. The decor is perfect for driftwood, of which a cornice, legs of a table and chairs, arm chairs, a pair of wooden figurines are made.The textiles here are also rough, natural, as simple as possible - these are linen curtains, homespun rugs and rugs. It is permissible to create a real or fake fireplace.
It is not advisable to use softwood for decorating a bedroom - it smells strongly, which not everyone likes.
Color spectrum
In the interior of even the youngest guy, pink, peach, lavender, and other “delicate” colors are extremely rare. Excessive diversity, typical of styles such as Arabic, Boho, is not welcomed by most men. Typically, a room is decorated with a maximum of three tones, from which the main, additional and accent are chosen. The first two may well be neutral, the third must be bright, creating dynamics, dividing the room into logical zones.
Standard color options:
light background tones, such as cream-white, beige, sand-yellow, are perfectly combined with furniture in the color of stained oak, wenge, dark chocolate, etc .;
black-gray-white room with several bright accents (murals, cushions, paintings on the walls, etc.);
a combination of colors located close to each other on the color wheel - red-brown and orange-brown, dark gray and deep black, sky blue and dark blue.
The following combinations are most popular:
snow-white with blue-black;
coffee with reddish-beige;
liver with azure blue;
pale purple with poisonous green;
asphalt gray with spruce;
saffron yellow with blackish red;
moderate orange with olive;
chamois with thistle;
orange pumpkin with tomato;
sand with maroon;
tan indigo;
brick red with slate gray;
creamy white with a greenish blue.
It is important to remember the color scheme, depending on the area of the room and orientation relative to the cardinal points.A tight and dimly lit room with a window to the north is designed primarily in warm, light colors, more spacious, filled with light coming through the southern windows, painted with cold, dark colors.
Lighting
An individual lighting source is needed for each zone. In a cramped room with an area of no more than 7-10 "squares", a modest ceiling chandelier, a sconce over the bed, and a table lamp in the working area will be enough. If the room is more spacious, it is possible to allocate a place for receiving guests, pursuing a favorite hobby, then at least one lighting device is placed there.
Decorative lighting is also useful - LED strip is allowed along the perimeter of the floor, ceiling, curtain rod or cabinet. If there is a chest of drawers, a cabinet with transparent doors, light is made there. Such lighting should not be too bright, as it will interfere with normal sleep. As a decoration, whole paintings are made on the ceiling, walls, decorated with LEDs - these are night cities, starry sky, world map, etc.
Decoration materials
The choice of finishing materials depends on the style of the interior of the room, as well as the budget allocated for repairs. For an expensive interior, natural wood is used, including valuable species, natural or artificial stone, stained glass. Cheaper options are made out of plastic, wood-shaving lumber, self-adhesive films, paper or washable wallpaper, etc.
Floor
Laminate or massive boards are most often laid on the floor, natural stone is very cold for placing a bedroom, therefore it is used only locally, and linoleum is not always environmentally friendly. Parquet is a great idea, albeit an expensive one, carpeted with a neutral color usually allocate a sleeping area, a sports corner. Less often, floors are made bulk, cork, made of vinyl tiles, etc.Zoning with different floor coverings is usually used in combined spaces.
Walls
It is easiest to stick wallpaper on the walls - they are selected on paper, non-woven, vinyl, textile, etc. Photo wallpaper is placed on only one wall, popular themes are animals, city landscapes, cars and motorbikes, geometric 3D abstractions, including black and white. Cork panels, slate metallized boards make out in the room a creative person who fastens posters, reminders, makes sketches and notes on the walls.
Ceiling
The ceiling in modern interiors is made suspended or suspended - it is easy to mount any lighting devices, cornices, zoning partitions into such a design. No less often, this surface is simply painted in bright colors, decorated with stucco made of plaster or plastic, if the interior design requires it. In high, spacious rooms, zoning is performed using differences in ceiling height; for beauty, each level is highlighted. Certain types of interior allow only wooden options, decorated with large beams.
Conclusion
The interior design of the home, designed for a young man of 18, 20, 25 years old, is made stylish, beautiful, convenient, multi-functional, taking into account all the individual characteristics of a lifestyle. Small and large rooms are decorated in completely different ways.
