Ready-made standard design projects for apartments of a certain area are offered by many specialists. But when the layout is different from the usual, or you want something special, you should develop an individual repair scheme for this room.
The design project includes:
the original scheme with designations of all sizes;
description of the stylistic decision of the apartment;
partition demolition plan;
separate floor, ceiling, wall plans;
a graphic diagram of the wiring, placement of fixtures, water, gas pipes, heating radiators;
description of the arrangement of furniture;
3D visualization using special computer programs;
calculation of the required amount of materials, all items of furniture, accessories;
technical information for workers who will make repairs.
Looking through the “3D” image, a person can understand whether he likes the atmosphere in this room, whether it will be pleasant to live there. If something does not suit you, then at this stage you can still make any changes.
The choice of stylistic direction and colors
In various variations, the following interior decoration styles are most often used:
classic,
Provence
loft,
fusion
country
high tech,
minimalism,
art believe
modern,
Art Deco.
If this is a "vest", then all the available odnushki premises will be converted - in a medium-sized studio. It is better to design such an apartment in bright colors, using many mirrors, lighting fixtures to visually expand the space. Minimalism, modern, hi-tech are the most suitable for this. In a one-room studio apartment you can apply any style - it all depends on the imagination of the residents, their financial capabilities. For an expensive baroque or gothic style, 46 "squares" is considered not enough - the decor involves a lot of voluminous carved details, stucco molding, huge chandeliers, columns. But the neoclassic will fit well into the existing space.Minimalism, classic, can be of different price categories, and art-believe, industrial, is made literally from improvised materials.
Zoning
The zoning of any apartment depends on:
number of residents;
occupation of each family member;
their approximate age;
estimated amount of furniture.
The breakdown into separate zones is especially relevant for studio apartments, rooms where several people live, each of which needs some kind of personal space for work, leisure, sleep.
Zoning is done using:
partitions made of metal, plastic, tinted or transparent glass, drywall, etc .;
light folding screens;
any pieces of furniture;
translucent sliding doors;
various decoration of the floor, ceiling, walls of individual zones;
curtains, curtains, including "rustling" - from beads, acorns, paper clips, pieces of postcards, etc .;
local lighting of individual zones;
various heights of the ceiling, floor;
arches, columns, fireplaces;
plants in floor vases, aquariums with fish;
different colors.
In one room you should not do more than three or four functional areas, they are all designed in approximately the same style.
Kitchen-living room
In such small apartments, as a result of redevelopment, the kitchen is often combined with the living room, separated from it by a table, a bar, which saves space. One of the walls is transferred to the apartment, “cutting off” a piece of the corridor or living room in favor of the kitchen. It turns out to be quite spacious "odnushka", with a small, partially isolated room of the bedroom. In this space there is not only a place for cooking, eating, but often also a study, a place for rest, sleeping for individual family members.
In modern times, there is the concept of "euro-room" - a small apartment in which the kitchen-living room is combined with the entrance hall, bedroom, bathroom, toilet - separately.It is easily converted into a studio apartment, where there is a “bedroom” - a separate (maximally separated from other space) room with an area of ten to twelve squares.
Each logical zone in the room should have separate lighting, as well as a common one for the entire space.
Bedroom
The parent bedroom is usually a room behind a screen, a partition, accommodating a double bed, a small wardrobe, a pair of nightstands. With children, they also need the so-called "room". It is separated from the parent's bedroom by a partition, a dense curtain, a folding screen, and the crib of a child of the first year of life may well stand right in the parents' room.
For two children, it is preferable to arrange a bunk bed. If the child is alone and already large, then an excellent solution would be to purchase an attic bed, under which his workplace, located in the far corner, a large niche, will be located. Lighting in the bedroom is preferably dim, but if there is a place in it where residents plan to read, write, work at a computer, laptop, then they have a brighter lamp.
Hallway and dressing room
Designers recommend carefully considering the design of the hallway - after all, this is the "calling card" of the entire apartment. The corridor in such places is often very cramped, because it is combined with other rooms or decorated with the most light materials, mirrors, so that it seems more spacious. Spotlights here will be very handy, and the furniture is preferred the most minimal.
The dressing room is usually combined with the bedroom, or rather it is part of this "room", separated from it by a wardrobe, screen, curtains. In the studio apartment, any free corner is allocated under it, where the location will be the most convenient. In the dressing room, local illumination is necessarily done, which is mounted directly on or near the top of the cabinet.
Bathroom
The combined bathroom significantly saves space. If desired, it is possible to place everything you need there. To have more space, compact, angular, wall mounted sanitary ware is chosen, storage places are located under the bathroom, on the hanging shelves, in tall, narrow cabinets. The bathtub itself is often replaced with a shower stall, best of all - a corner.
A square bathroom, preferably elongated - to place furniture, plumbing is much easier. Most often, this room can not boast of its spaciousness, because for the visual expansion of the space they use mirrors on the walls, ceiling, floors. Around the perimeter are several spotlights. Lighting can be top and local - near the mirror, each piece of plumbing, in open cabinets.
Conclusion
The apartment is "odnushka", an area of plus or minus 46 square meters. m, it may well become stylish, comfortable, look spacious, having everything you need for a normal life of a small family. It doesn’t matter at all whether it is located in a new building or a completely old house, because the layout can be changed, and modern finishing materials will transform any space. The studio apartment should not be excessively cluttered with unnecessary objects, designing the entire room in a single style - it is better to purchase furniture from the "one series", as well as the decor. If it is impossible to work out the design in detail on their own, resort to the services of professional interior planners.
