Design of a bedroom-cabinet +75 photos of zoning examples
Owners of small apartments have to refine their design of the premises and look for innovative interior solutions. Combined areas - a stylish and versatile option. Modern design methods allow you to create two completely different platforms within the same room, which absolutely do not interfere with each other. You won’t surprise anyone with the bedroom-living room and kitchen-dining room, but the combination of the sleeping room and the working area still looks fresh and original. This option is suitable for those who need a space for activity, but there is no place to organize it. During the day, the bedroom is usually empty, so no one will interfere with work, and competent zoning of the room will allow workaholics to stay up late. Consider the nuances of the design of such premises, their pros and cons.
The advantages of this design become apparent in the face of a shortage of space in an apartment or private house. If the owners have one more free room, but it is necessary for a nursery or a living room, then the work site can actually be equipped as part of the sleeping room. With the help of transforming furniture during the daytime, the relaxation area can be completely transformed and used exclusively for work at home. The bedroom cabinet also has a number of fixable shortcomings, which must be eliminated even at the stage of interior design. The main disadvantage is the inconvenience of working at a later time if two people sleep in the room. Unfortunately, not all biological clocks run synchronously. Larks have enough days, and owls make up for lost time under the cover of darkness. When one person goes to bed, and the second only sits down at work, the situation can be heated up to quarrels. Bright light, music, clicking keys or the monitor of the turned-on computer can interfere with the “early bird”.
If a workaholic conducts important negotiations from his home, then the kind of a disassembled bed and the general mess that sometimes remains in the room in the morning can ruin the impression of the interlocutor. The hardest thing is to smooth the contrast between the zones. The bedroom is traditionally decorated in soothing colors, its interior should be set to sleep and relaxation, while the working atmosphere is necessarily maintained in the office. The surroundings of these zones do not correspond to each other, they are contrasting and the designer’s task is to smooth out these differences and find a balance point. For this reason, it is necessary to delimit the space competently, so that both sites can be used autonomously, without contacting each other, but at the same time not to violate the integrity of the room. The disadvantages of the cabinet-bedroom are removable, which means that the combination can be carried out effectively.
Space Distribution Rules
Usually the bed and the bedroom itself occupy the lion's share of the space, and the office gets at its best a quarter. If the room is rectangular in shape, then it is conditionally divided into three equal areas, two of which occupy a resting place. Zoning can be organized using several methods:
Decorative arches and podiums. Used as symbolic delimiters, they only conditionally make it clear where the bedroom ends and the work area begins.
Partitions made of plywood or drywall. They very clearly share the room, but are not suitable for small rooms, as they crush them even more. Such options are inconvenient for rooms with one window, which remains on one side of the makeshift wall and deprives the second of natural light. But in drywall or plywood, you can make decorative niches that complement the interior picture.
Zoning with furniture. A very convenient option in a bedroom, where a wardrobe or a rack with working equipment is used as a border “pillar”. Other bulky furniture that goes over the wall is usually not used in this room.
Mobile designs. Screens, partitions or simple curtains that can be removed if necessary are simple and effective to use.
The green wall. It looks organically in eco-style and other directions, gravitating to natural elements in the interior, but ineffective for light and sound insulation.
Cabinet in the closet. Perhaps the most non-trivial solution. In this case, the cabinet is placed behind a decorative wall (built-in wardrobe) in the manner of a dressing room. It is visible only during operation. For the rest of the day, the office is reliably hidden from prying eyes, and the bedroom seems like an ordinary room, used strictly for its intended purpose.
All of the above methods of zoning space are universal and suitable for any interior styles.
Organization of the working area
The most common option is to place an office by the window, and the sleeping area in the back of the room. During the day you can do business in natural light, and at night the windows are closed with curtains and a mobile partition is installed. The main thing in this design: do not deprive the bedroom of sunlight. Otherwise, it will become “cold” and uncomfortable. The minimum room necessary for work is placed in the study room: a computer table, a chair, hanging shelves or racks with books and objects necessary for the activity. If the area allows, then in the working area they additionally put a sofa or a pair of soft poufs in case you want to relax, and it is inconvenient to lay out a bed in the middle of the day for these purposes. All elements of furniture should be arranged compactly and economically.
Color selection
When choosing a color palette, they are repelled from two aspects:
On which side do the windows go, that is, does the room often visit the sun's rays.
The general style of the room.
If the bedroom-cabinet is on the shady side, and the sun rarely looks into the room, then the light deficit is compensated by the warm shades of the spectrum:
Yellow;
Orange;
Peach;
Pink.
In sunny bedrooms, working areas of light and heat in abundance, therefore, it is permissible to use cold shades:
Blue;
Lilac;
Green (peppermint hue is especially in demand);
Fuchsia.
Avoid too dark colors, as they give the room unnecessary "heaviness". Additionally, they are diluted with neutral, pastel colors. In the bedroom, this is simply necessary, since here a person should psychologically relax.
In the study, it is permissible to use several bright accents, but within the framework of the overall color composition.
Furniture selection
The work area is always associated with functional office furniture, which has no place in the bedroom. In this situation, you have to find a compromise.In both zones, the furniture should be as neutral and versatile as possible, but without the feeling of a “treasury house,” which is often found in offices. The minimum set includes a bed for sleeping, a wardrobe, bedside tables or a chest of drawers, a workplace, a chair, a bookcase. Original look options with transforming beds. At night, the berth is unfolded, and during the day it is compactly assembled and turns into a cozy sofa. Thus, it will be possible to kill two birds with one stone: to free up space for movement without interference, to arrange a cozy corner for a day's rest. In apartments with panoramic windows, the bed is generally set headboard to the windows. The special design of the model allows you to fold it into a double-sided sofa with one common back. Such a non-standard solution allows arranging two independent zones at once: for seeing the surrounding beauties and for tea drinking with guests. A wonderful opportunity to find your quiet corner for those who like privacy. The cabinet and rack can be combined into one complex design. Some models provide both internal filling and shelves on the back, which is not supposed to be moved to the wall. It's important to know. To distinguish between rooms it is still better to use a rack with through shelves. In small rooms, he will create a feeling of lightness of the barrier, which will not burden and clutter up the space.
Lighting
Lighting is classified into several types:
Central or general.
This includes ceiling chandeliers and ceiling lights.
Local.
It includes wall sconces and floor, table lamps. The main task of local lighting is to create a soft, relaxing environment.
Accent.
Just suitable for zoning space. As a basis, point sources of light are often used.
Work or directed.
Type is used to improve "visibility" within one small area when engaged in any activity.
In the bedroom, the office will have to combine not only two functional areas, but almost all types of lighting. Without central lighting, the room will appear gloomy. In the area for relaxation, a pair of sconces or lamps on the bedside tables is enough. Accentuate the border of the zones. For example, a decorative arch or podium is marked with spotlights. They do not strain the eye much, but add room and style to the room. Directional lighting must be applied in the working area (table lamp) and possibly in the bed area, if the owners love to read before bedtime.
Stylistic direction
In minimalism, oriental portable screens look spectacular as a delimiter of combined zones. The style came to us from Japan, which is why the drawings use themed ones: a geisha with an umbrella, a sakura branch, a pagoda, a lotus, a fan. The advantage will be given to white, gray, black colors. It is permissible to use very light shades of green, pink, lilac, blue as a “live” note. If the owner of the working area prefers creative mess, then his inventory will have to be stored in closed shelves, and the shelving should be selected. This oriental style does not tolerate unnecessary details and chaos. To combine the bedroom with the study in the classics, luxurious arches with stucco and monograms are used. The room will prevail calm tones (beige, chocolate, honey shades), expensive and heavy textiles, an abundance of gold, crystal, bronze and light patterns. A secretary and a four-poster bed are a great addition to the overall elegant and expensive painting. This style is based on strict symmetry. A classic room should unobtrusively talk about the prosperity of the owners, so only natural, and therefore expensive materials are used in its design.
Neoclassicism is less demanding in this regard. Style allows the use of imitation, creating only the illusion of naturalness.Although both of these styles went through almost the same history of formation, as a result, they have a number of differences. Neoclassicism to a greater extent meets the needs of modern man, but not without prejudice to the luxury of the environment. In the Scandinavian direction, a lot of white is used in combination with shades of blue. This is a “cold” style that prefers an abundance of light, which is lacking in winter. For rooms facing the shady side, a great option is to organically make up for the lack of heat and sun. Combining directions is permissible in eclecticism and fusion. Both directions bring a light welter into the room, but it enlivens the atmosphere and makes it more colorful. This design is suitable for positive people who have a moral rest in a creative mess.
Study in a small bedroom
The small bedroom and study will be appropriate. The ultra-compact version is suitable for these rooms: a workplace in a closet. On the lower border in the decoration of the walls, horizontal lines or ornament are often allowed to expand the space. In such a room, an abundance of light and pastel shades is used. The windows do not curtain with heavy curtains, enough light curtains or bamboo panels that maximize the opening during the day. In small rooms, the use of complete partitions is unacceptable. Only mobile structures or light shelving with books painted in white and its shades can act in their role. One of the popular options is frosted glass false walls. Drawings can be etched onto them if the style of the interior allows it. Often zoning is generally abandoned, and the workplace is placed on one side of the head of the bed or at the feet. Unfortunately, this option is not very convenient if one person is sleeping and the other is working. In rooms with an acute shortage of space (for example, 4 sq.m.) you do not have to choose.If the room is of non-standard shape and there is a niche in it, then the working area is placed in it.
Workplace in a spacious bedroom
A spacious room provides designers with great opportunities. Here you can equip two zones independent from each other without compromising space. Decorative walls and living, "green" delimiters are used. The study is made out according to all the canons: with a place for activity and a corner for relaxation. Such rooms with elements of industrial style, loft or hi-tech look organically. Destinations prefer freedom to embody luxurious and stylish ideas. If there are two windows in the room, then such a gift is disposed of to the maximum: one opening is left for the recreation area, and the second is requisitioned for the office. It is from windows that repel when designing functional areas. Niches for decoration and souvenirs are made in the decorative walls. Combined partitions look original, where glass alternates with opaque materials. The geometric patterns of such combinations can be very different: from rectangles to smooth, wavy lines.
Bedroom with study on the balcony
In Khrushchev, where not only the apartment is small, but the rooms themselves, the working area is organized on the balcony. In the context of the “struggle” for each meter, this option combines space saving and high functionality. The balcony should naturally be insulated so that a single temperature regime is established in the rooms. Such a combined layout provides for the dismantling of the window, and sometimes the demolition of the partition, which used to be part of the wall and a support for the window sill. Although in some cases it is left, and on top an empty window opening is decorated with shelves. Thus, it is possible to simultaneously combine spaces and outline their contours. An indisputable plus in this situation is the minimal cost of furniture, so the option is suitable for budget redevelopment.
Conclusion
Designing a bedroom with an office is not as difficult to develop as it might seem at first glance. The main thing in the combination of two polar activity zones is to find a compromise border that will smooth out their inconsistencies. Based on a few simple rules and inspiration, you can get a unique design option in which you will relax with pleasure and work with enthusiasm.
