For many people, the problem of lack of available housing is quite acute. Some save money to buy new housing, others decide to expand the space by redevelopment, removal of partitions between rooms. At the stage of repair work, the question arises of how to equip a studio apartment so that all the needs of residents are taken into account.
In turn, developers, paying attention to the demand for this kind of housing, began to build new buildings with budget apartments. Their cost is significantly lower than standard options, but the client base is less, since not all categories of citizens can live here, even in large elite studios.
This type of housing, space arrangement is chosen by men and women who plan to live independently, young families without children or with a baby, married couples of retirement age.
The popularity of planning is associated with its advantages:
affordable cost;
small quadrature, respectively, low costs for utility bills;
saving on finishing materials during repair activities;
due to the lack of partitions, the light is evenly distributed throughout the room, the distance between the individual zones is reduced;
a single space can be designed in any style;
visually the apartment looks more spacious;
when receiving guests, the question of their accommodation is removed;
It is possible to independently perform zoning.
Studio apartment allows you to organize a great business. Students willingly rent it for a long time, various organizations for corporate parties.
The disadvantages of this housing are the following:
permanent residence in such a room of three or more people is uncomfortable;
there is no way to provide an isolated corner for privacy;
lack of internal sound insulation;
cleaning of the living area will have to be carried out more often, since the garbage spreads evenly, is always in sight;
to eliminate odors that spread during cooking, you need to install good ventilation, a powerful hood.
In panel multi-storey buildings, such redevelopment is prohibited, and for the performance of work in brick buildings, obtaining permission from state authorities will be required.
Features of arrangement according to the shape of the room
The studio apartment got its name due to its characteristic features, which are expressed in the absence of interior walls, a kitchen connected to a single space with a living room, the presence of doors and partitions that separate exclusively technical rooms. Such features determine the layout of housing. It consists in zoning the total living space to individual places of a particular purpose. Among the main functional areas are:
dining area, as well as for cooking;
cabinet;
hallway;
a living room for leisure and meeting guests;
place to stay.
For the studio, the layout is mainly used in the form of separate sectors having the form of strict geometric shapes (square, rectangle). The location of this or that zone will directly depend on the shape of the dwelling itself. Consider the main ways of arranging an apartment, depending on its parameters.
Rectangular
One of the most common options, characterized by an elongated shape. Still such housing is called a pencil case or wagon. The space is quite narrow and long, the aspect ratio is mainly 1: 3. Therefore, the comfort of those living, their convenient movement around the cramped living space, depends on the correct layout. It is recommended to equip the premises taking into account the following rules:
The main requirement is a direct, free passage through the entire area.
Oversized furniture should be installed along one long wall.
Depending on the location of plumbing communications, a place for the kitchen is determined. Often, the supply and drainage system is combined with a bathroom fenced by walls.The kitchen area must be placed along the partition of the bathroom in a single-row, angular, U-shaped way.
The front door in new buildings is located opposite the window, so it is recommended to place the bedroom at the maximum distance from the entrance so that it is not visible. Usually it is located on one side with the kitchen and bathroom, as far as possible from them.
It is better to give the living room a central place, placing it between the resting place and the cooking area.
The cabinet can be equipped on the loggia, if any.
Square
This type of housing is less common. A square room is often obtained after redevelopment of a standard apartment, and some developers offer similar models. It is easier to equip a single room, there are more options, the space is not constrained by the bearing walls, unlike the previous view. When planning, the same recommendations apply as in the first case, with minor adjustments:
A bathroom is usually located on one side of the front door, and a compact corner kitchen is easy to install on the other.
The space between the doorway and the kitchen area can be allocated under the living room.
The area for rest and sleep should be removed as far as possible from the bathroom, placing it behind the screen in the opposite corner.
If the area allows, then it is appropriate to install a sofa in the center of the room.
In the remaining free corner, you can put a computer desk, turning this section into a workplace.
Individual
In new buildings, you can often find apartments with a non-standard layout. They can have more than four corners, a bay window of a round, rectangular, multifaceted shape, as well as mansard roofs, various bends from one or several sides. The arrangement of such premises depends on many factors:
the presence of one or more risers;
placement of a bathroom;
location of the window and front door;
shape of the room;
the presence of niches, pantries.
The design of non-standard studios is better to order for professionals who know all the possible nuances of the layout, take into account the wishes and requirements of the owner, make up a good project.
Stylistic solutions
A special role in the design of the apartment is played by a correctly chosen style, whether it be classic or loft. The beauty, comfort and harmony in the room largely depend on it. In order for the design to turn out to be solid and attractive, you should choose the most suitable style solution that best matches the philosophy of the residents. Consider several main areas:
High tech
Refers to the modern. With its help, you can equip small and large studios. It implies the presence of right angles and sharp shapes. The emphasis is on decoration, furniture, built-in, freestanding appliances.
Scandinavian
Lightness and airiness are achieved due to light shades. For the arrangement, natural materials are used. The windows are curtained with transparent tulle. The main emphasis is on the maximum possible free space.
Provence
We use plaids, tablecloths, curtains, and other textiles with patterns. Kitchen items, furniture, handles are complemented by forged elements. For flooring use natural wood.
Classic
Suitable for elite studios that have a large quadrature. For decoration, only natural materials are used: wood, stone, metal. A large chandelier painted in gold is provided in the center.
Minimalism
It requires the smallest combination of various tones, rejects multi-colored scales. The house should not have unnecessary details, small decorative elements, piles. When choosing furniture, pay attention to clear geometric shapes.
Ideas and methods of zoning space
A small studio, converted from a one-room apartment, or a larger room should look spacious and functional at the same time.To achieve this effect, it is necessary to divide the space into zones, select the appropriate furniture.
You can perform zoning in several ways:
1. Constructive division.
decorative as well as sliding partitions;
curtains made of fabric, screens made of bamboo, plastic, metal, other materials;
equipment of a small niche in the form of an attic, where you can equip a place for sleeping.
2. Visual division.
the use of different colors, textures for walls and flooring;
installation of multi-level ceiling structures, podiums, steps;
the arrangement of furniture, for example, a bar counter or sofa, turned back to the working area in the kitchen, will provide a place for rest or eating;
the correct arrangement of mirrors.
For constructive zoning, it is recommended that specialists install a single floor or ceiling covering for the entire room.
Lighting in the apartment
There are two main types of lighting: natural, artificial. The first type directly depends on the size of the window. Its location relative to the sunny side allows you to enjoy the light only during the day. The second option makes evening and night leisure convenient. All electrical appliances that organize local lighting can be divided into three main categories:
Workers These include ceiling chandeliers and lighting fixtures, wall sconces, floor lamps, table lamps.
Orienteering. Lamps and nightlights that create a minimum level of illumination.
Decorative. LED strips, spotlights, spotlights, allowing to emphasize a particular interior item.
When planning lighting, drawing up a drawing, certain rules must be observed:
the studio should not have unlit corners;
in addition to the central chandelier, a separate light source must be provided for each functional area;
to illuminate the working area in the kitchen, poorly lit places, you can use local lighting;
it should be possible to control the brightness of the light, separate switches for each of the zones.
Arrangement and arrangement of furniture in the functional areas of the studio
The owners of the new studio, re-planned old Khrushchev, faces a very important task associated with the improvement of a single room. The preparatory work, the design of the space, the arrangement of furniture differs from how this happens in apartments with a standard layout. The sequence of actions consists of the following steps:
The choice of stylistic direction.
Planning - determining the zone for the kitchen, bedroom, living room, study, hallway.
The selection of the zoning method is visual or constructive.
Planning and installation of electrical wiring, air conditioning, heating appliances.
Finishing measures, which are carried out in the following sequence: screeding, replacing windows, leveling walls, preparing the ceiling, facing vertical partitions, laying flooring, installing baseboards, ceiling structures.
Installation of a lighting system, furniture, built-in and freestanding household appliances.
Kitchen
The kitchen area should be located in one of the free corners near the plumbing communications. It can be separated from the rest of the space using the bar, which simultaneously acts as a dining table. Minimum space is allocated for the kitchen, so it’s better to install a basic set of compact appliances, for example, a two-burner electric stove, built-in oven, microwave, electric kettle, coffee maker, and a universal pressure cooker.
Particular attention should be paid to the ventilation system and a powerful hood, you can not save on them. It is worth abandoning large furniture.The built-in washing machine, dishwasher, refrigerator, hood should be hidden under the facade of the kitchen. For storage of cutlery, other devices, you can use the space under the countertop, hanging cabinets, open shelves and niches. It is necessary to place a sink, stove, refrigerator according to the rule of the working triangle.
Living room
For the living room, the main part of the common space is allocated, located in the center of a single room, preferably near the window. You can place it immediately at the dining table or bar. Furniture should be functional and compact. Here you can place a folding sofa, armchairs, a coffee table, chairs, a transforming table, hang a TV on the wall, install an audio system.
The transition between the zones should be soft. The same design looks beautiful with the kitchen and hallway. To highlight the space, lighting is used in the form of a central chandelier. You can also install partitions, mirrors, turn the sofa back side, put the closet. If the window is in the hall area, then it is better to hang roller blinds, blinds, light transparent curtains with a stylish pattern on it.
A bathroom
The bathroom is fenced from the common room with full walls. The only drawback of this room, excluding elite studios, is the small area. It also requires a fairly compact furniture. Given all the norms and standards for the location of basic items, it is necessary to leave enough space in front of them for comfortable use. Therefore, it is best to install a shower cabin, put a small toilet bowl, hanging sink.
In order to save space under the washbasin, you can position the washing machine. If quadrature allows, then it is appropriate to place a full bath, under which it will be convenient to organize a niche for storing things.To visually increase the space, it is recommended to leave only the necessary objects in sight, organize the right lighting, install mirrors.
Sleeping area and workplace
The bedroom can be cooperated with the living room, but it is better to provide for it a separate place. It is recommended to place it at the maximum distance from the front door and bathroom. It can be separated using screens, textile curtains, sliding, stationary partitions. To save space, there are options for retractable models that are built into a niche. An interesting scheme for organizing a place to sleep is to create a two-tier structure, on the upper niche of which you can place an orthopedic mattress, and use the lower tier to store things.
For many people, the workplace is very important. It can be arranged in the corner where the bedroom is located. But such placement is not important, for this purpose, a living room or kitchen is perfect. The best option would be a balcony or a loggia, and the situation is simple, just place a table and a chair on it, install a laptop and a table lamp, and fence yourself off using a curtain. If a stationary computer is not provided, then the table can be made mobile, built into a closet, and attach a separate surface to one of the walls.
Hallway / hallway
It is necessary to issue a hall with special attention. It should be highlighted. This is done in many ways. You can separate the corridor using finishing materials, light sources, partitions, a screen, flooring, install sliding doors, a shelf filled with books, a hedge of fresh flowers. In some cases, it is necessary to enclose it with a low wall in order to separate it from the rest of the space, especially if the bedroom is located right at the entrance.
From furniture, you can place a compact mounted on the wall or corner shelf for shoes, a built-in wardrobe, a small cabinet, a wall hanger with hooks, a shelf for keys, a beautiful mirror. However, do not overload this area with a large number of objects, as a small space will become very crowded.From lighting devices, it is better to install a pair of sconces or spotlights.
Organization of storage
In a small studio you need to place as many items as in a standard two-room, three-room apartment. Therefore, comfort, the availability of free space, the appearance of the room, in which not only cabinets should be located, depend on the proper organization of the storage system. To keep everything in its place, it was hidden from view, while still having the opportunity to take advantage of everything you need, you will need to follow these simple rules:
Choose a bed and a sofa with drawers.
Use free space inside chairs, ottomans.
Instead of partitions, install open shelving.
Fix the wall cabinets and shelves under the ceiling.
In the hallway above the door to organize a mezzanine.
In the kitchen, install non-standard hanging cabinets with a height of up to the ceiling.
Make a built-in small dressing room.
Choose a tall cabinet, use the space under it.
If a TV stand is provided, then it is better to choose options with drawers.
Design and layout of studios of different sizes
Many owners are sure that their house is very small, it is impossible to accommodate everything necessary for a comfortable stay in it. However, with the right layout, a reasonable choice of appropriate furniture and decoration, even a small, small-sized studio can easily be turned into a comfortable, cozy housing. Using design techniques, you can visually expand the space, and by performing the appropriate separation, increase the free area. Some will be able to perform these actions with their own hands, having looked at the finished master class for an example, while others have the opportunity to use the services of professionals. Consider several design options for apartments that differ in size.
Studio from 14 to 25 square meters. m
In small rooms, you will have to combine several zones in one.For example, in a room of 14 square meters. m kitchen and hallway will have to be combined, while on the one hand there will be a working area for cooking, and on the other - a niche for clothes and shoes. The main part of the room can be separated using textiles.
On the remaining 8 - 9 squares in one of the corners there is a dining table and a pair of chairs, which will be simultaneously used for eating and will be the workplace. A TV is located above the table. On the side of it, under the ceiling, you can hang nightstands and open shelves on the wall. In the remaining area is a folding sofa or bed. All items are additionally used to store things.
In cramped spaces it is better to use light colors, on one of the partitions the mirror surface will look good. In the center you can hang one large chandelier, provide additional lighting for each individual zone. It is necessary to furnish a bathroom at a minimum - only a shower cabin, toilet bowl, washing machine, sink.
Studio from 25 to 30 square meters. m
In such studios, planning is much easier. In the interior, you can use different colors, from black and white to color. The choice of background depends on the number and location of windows, the preferences of the owner, artificial lighting. Consider the arrangement of furniture on the example of a rectangular room.
Immediately after the entrance, there is a separate dressing room hidden in a niche with sliding partitions. On the opposite side of it is the bathroom door. The kitchen is adjacent to the wall of the bathroom, may have a U-shaped or angular shape.
The bar counter serves both as a dining table and a fence separating the living room, in which along the same wall is a comfortable sofa. The sitting area is separated from the room by a partition, right next to the bed. On the other side of the sleeping area is a corner computer desk.
Studio from 30 to 35 square meters. m
The design can be sustained in white, which allows the furniture and walls to merge together, decorated in a traditional style, where the beige-brown range gives the interior comfort and coziness. In addition to the main chandelier, each zone is illuminated separately using floor lamps, pendant lamps.
The main part of the room is occupied by a living room, in which a white or brown sofa is installed adjacent to one of the corners of the room. Along the same wall, but in another corner there is a bed, separated from the couch by textile, and from the hallway by a closet for storing clothes.
The kitchen part is located along one parallel wall with a bathroom, adjacent to the window. The corridor, in addition to the main cabinet separating the bed, on the other hand is equipped with a shoe rack and a mirror.
Studio from 35 to 42 square meters. m
The layout is made in a standard way. Here all the necessary zones fit, while there is still enough free space. In addition to neutral tones and mirrored surfaces, the room seems quite voluminous.
The kitchen and dining area are on one side, partially separated from the living room and bedroom by a partition. Hob, sink, countertop are located along one wall. Opposite it is a full dining table or kitchenette.
A folding sofa with the back side separates the sleeping place, which is located on the podium. The TV mounted on the wall can be watched simultaneously from the kitchen, sofa, bed. Along the wall, parallel to the kitchen apron, coffee and writing tables fit perfectly.

Otherwise, it is an ideal choice for single men and women, retirees, students, a young family.Due to the low cost, such housing can be purchased for temporary residence. Yes, and it will not be difficult to sell it.
For many people, the problem of lack of available housing is quite acute. Some save money to buy new housing, others decide to expand the space by redevelopment, removal of partitions between rooms.
