Design design one room apartment- not an easy task for a designer. This is due to the fact that a single living space must perform several different functions at once - provide an opportunity for work or study, serve as a place for communication, relaxation and sleep at night, and in some cases, also be a children's room. In addition, the footage of such apartments, as a rule, does not allow the designer to use standard solutions, it is not enough to simply fence off its own corner for each zone; it is also necessary to preserve as much as possible the feeling of free space, which increases the comfort of living.
We present to your attention the most interesting options design of one-room apartments. Some projects have already been implemented, others are at the final design stage.
The use of light colors in the apartment design made it possible to create coziness in a small space and maintain a feeling of spaciousness. The living room has only 17 square meters. m. area, but all the necessary functional areas are located here, and each of them performs several functions at once. Thus, the recreation area, or “sofa”, turns into a bedroom at night, a relaxation corner with an armchair and bookcase Easily converts into a study or playroom for a child.
The corner location of the kitchen made it possible to organize a dining area, and the floor-to-ceiling glass door leading to the loggia added light and air.
Modern design of a one-room apartment with an area of 42 sq. m."
In this project, the load-bearing wall proved to be an obstacle to changing the layout, so the designers had to work within the given space. The living room was divided into two parts by an open shelving unit - this simple solution is very effective in many cases, allowing for visual delimitation of zones without cluttering the space and reducing the light flux.
The bed is located near the window, and there is also a kind of mini-office - a small desk-bureau with a work chair. The rack functions as a bedside table in the bedroom.
In the back of the room behind a shelf that plays a role bookcase and display cases for souvenirs, there is a living room with a comfortable sofa and a large TV. A full-wall sliding wardrobe allows you to store a lot of things and does not clutter up the space, it mirror doors visually double the room and increase its illumination.
The refrigerator was moved from the kitchen to the hallway, which freed up space for the dining area. From wall cabinets One of the walls was removed to make the kitchen seem more spacious.
A good project that shows how convenient it is to arrange an apartment for one or two people, taking into account all the requirements for a modern level of comfort, without resorting to changing the original planning solution.
The main room is the living room. From the furniture in the room: comfortable corner sofa, large screen TV installed on suspended console- on the opposite wall. A spacious storage system is provided for clothes and other necessary items. Present and coffee table, adding completeness to the interior. At night, the living room is transformed into a bedroom - the unfolded sofa forms comfortable spot for sleep.
If necessary, the living room can easily be converted into a study: to do this, you need to open two doors of the storage system - behind them is hidden a tabletop, a small shelf for documents and books; work chair pulls out from under the tabletop.
In order not to burden the space, which is already not too much, the kitchen abandoned the traditional top row wall shelves, replacing them with open shelves.
At the same time, there are even more places where you can keep kitchen utensils and supplies - the entire wall opposite the work area is occupied by a large storage system with a niche in which a sofa is built. Next to it is a small dining group. Rational organized space allowed us not only to maintain free space, but also to reduce the cost of kitchen furniture.
Project “Design of a one-room apartment of 40 sq. m."
The project of a one-room apartment has 37 sq. m. every square centimeter was used. The sofa, armchairs and coffee table, forming a relaxation corner, are raised onto the podium and thereby highlighted from the total volume. Pulls out from under the podium at night sleeping area: orthopedic mattress provides complete sleep.
The television panel opposite is built into a large storage system - its volume made it possible to correct the initially irregular, too elongated shape of the room. Beneath her is a living flame, covered with glass bio fireplace. The box above the storage system hides a screen that can be lowered to watch movies.
The small kitchen accommodates three functional zones s:
Even in a small one-room apartment, you can have a separate bedroom, and for this you do not need to move walls or build the space like a studio: the kitchen occupies a separate volume and is completely fenced off from the rest of the apartment.
The project provides for the location of the bedroom near the only window. There is a standard double bed, a narrow chest of drawers that serves as dressing table, and one bedside table. The role of the second bedside table is performed by a low partition between the bedroom and the living room - its height allows you to maintain the feeling large space and provides daylight to the entire living area.
Lilac wallpaper with an elegant pattern harmonizes with the mustard color of the walls in the kitchen design, made in the same style as the room.
Project “Design project for a one-room apartment with a bedroom”
Maximum functionality and impeccable design- these are the main advantages of the project. The living room and bedroom were visually separated by wooden slats: starting from the bed, they reach the ceiling and can change orientation in the same way as blinds: daytime“open” and let light into the living room, at night - “close” and isolate the sleeping area.
Light in the living room is added by the lower lighting of the console chest of drawers, effectively highlighting the main decorative item furniture: a coffee table made from a section of a huge trunk. On the chest of drawers there is a bio-fuel fireplace, and above it there is a TV panel. Opposite is a comfortable sofa.
The bedroom has a dual-purpose wardrobe; it stores not only clothes, but also books. Bed linen is stored in a drawer under the bed.
Due to the angular location kitchen furniture and an island oven, it was possible to organize a small dining area.
In the project of a one-room apartment, the living space is divided into two: private and public. This was possible thanks to the corner location of the apartment, which resulted in the presence of two windows in the room. The use of IKEA furniture in the design allowed us to reduce the project budget. Bright textiles were used as decorative accents.
A ceiling-to-floor storage system separated the bedroom and living room. On the living room side, the storage system has a niche for a TV, as well as shelves for storing things. Near the wall opposite there is a structure made of drawers, in the center of which sofa cushions form a cozy place to relax.
On the bedroom side, it has an open niche that replaces the owners with a bedside table. Another cabinet is suspended from the wall - you can place a pouf under it to save space.
The main color in the design of a small kitchen is white, which makes it visually more spacious. The dining table folds down to save space. Its tabletop is made of natural wood softens the strict style of decoration and makes the kitchen more comfortable.

The main condition set before the designers was to maintain the isolated position of the kitchen. Additionally, it was necessary to provide quite a large number of storage places. The living area was to accommodate a bedroom, living room, dressing room and a small office for work. And all this - on 36 square meters. m.
The main idea of the design of a one-room apartment is the separation of functional areas and their logical combination using contrasting colors of the spectrum: red, white and black.
Red in the design actively highlights the relaxation area in the living room and the office on the loggia, logically connecting them to each other. The elegant black and white pattern decorating the headboard is repeated in a softer color combination in the decoration of the office and bathroom. A black wall with a TV panel and storage system visually moves the sofa part away, expanding the space.
The bedroom was placed in a niche, having built a podium - it can be used for storing things.

Having received at their disposal a standard “one-room apartment” of the 10/11/02 PIR-44 series with a ceiling height of 2.57, the designers decided to use the square meters provided to them to the maximum, while dispensing with the design of a one-room apartment without redevelopment.
Convenient location doorways allowed us to allocate space in the room for a separate dressing room. The partition was lined with white decorative brick, as was part of the adjacent wall - the brick in the design highlighted a seating area with an armchair and a decorative fireplace.
The sofa, which serves as a sleeping place, was highlighted with patterned wallpaper.
A separate resting place was also created in the kitchen, replacing two chairs in the dining area with a small sofa.

The combination of white, gray and warm beige shades made it possible to create a relaxing, calm atmosphere. The living room has two zones. Near the window there is a large bed, opposite which, above a tall narrow chest of drawers, there is a TV panel mounted on a bracket. It can be turned towards a small seating area with a sofa and coffee table, accented with a plain floor carpet beige colour and located in the back of the room.
The upper part of the wall opposite the bed is decorated with a huge mirror attached to the wall on a special frame. This adds light and makes the room visually much more spacious.
The corner kitchen provides plenty of storage space. The combination of gray oak fronts of the lower row of cabinets, white gloss top and shiny surface glass apron adds a play of textures and shine.

The apartment is designed in modern style- a lot of wood, natural materials, nothing superfluous - only what is necessary. To separate the sleeping area from the rest of the living space, glass was used - such a partition takes up practically no space, allows you to maintain illumination of the entire room and at the same time makes it possible to isolate the private part of the apartment from prying eyes - for this purpose a curtain is used, which can be closed if desired.
In the decoration of an isolated kitchen, it is used as the main one. White color, complementary is the color of natural light wood.
An excellent example of how competent zoning can achieve comfortable living conditions in a limited space family with children.
The room is divided into two parts by a structure built specially for this purpose, which hides a storage system. On the children's side there is a closet for storing clothes and toys, on the living room side, which serves as a bedroom for parents, there is a spacious storage system for clothes and other things.
In the children's area there was a loft bed, under which there was a place for schoolchildren to study. The “adult part” serves as a living room during the day, and at night the sofa turns into a double bed.

To visually enlarge the room, the designer used standard means - the shine of glossy and mirror surfaces, functional storage areas and bright hues finishing materials.
The total area was divided into three zones: children's, parents' and dining areas. The children's part is highlighted with a gentle greenish tone of decoration. There is a baby crib, a chest of drawers, also known as a changing table, and a feeding chair. In the parental area, in addition to the bed, there is a small living room with a TV panel and a study - the window sill was replaced with a tabletop, and an armchair was placed next to it.
Project “Design of a small one-room apartment for a family with a child”
Probably no one will argue that a one-room apartment is not the most spacious housing, but at the same time, you really want to fit everything you need into its interior and at the same time make the room beautiful and modern, leaving as much free space as possible.
Designers claim that there are two effective ways to diversify the interior and turn it into a large, cozy and bright home.
The most drastic way is to rearrange, remove, move or add walls.
You can use design secrets visual expansion space. By the way, most people prefer to make do with them. Therefore, the following conclusions can be drawn:
We will assume that all the most difficult work is already behind us, all the major work has been carried out, all the walls have been moved to the right places, all you have to do is come up with an original interior for a 1-room apartment, a Khrushchev apartment, for example.
First of all you will need a sketch. Without it, it will not be possible to create a beautiful interior. You can ask for help from experienced designer and pay a considerable amount for the project, but if you feel confident creative potential, then this work can be done on your own. Naturally, before this you need to look through the necessary literature and “wander” through the websites of design companies.
This is a very important issue that should not be left to chance. Forget about high-tech or industrial styles. They require large areas. The interior of a 1-room apartment in rococo style is also inappropriate - they cannot be placed on 40 (or maybe less) square meters. Most of all, classic modern will suit your case.
The cheapest, but far from the best the best option- linoleum. But it’s better to save up some money and consider another flooring option, so as not to turn an already not the best home into a faceless haven.
Parquet for a 1-room apartment is an expensive pleasure, so there is no point in considering it.
Carpet is often used in bedrooms and children's rooms. Unfortunately, in our case there is neither one nor the other room. In a small living room, you will get tired of constantly vacuuming this covering.
And finally, the most suitable option- laminate.
If the height of the room is not too small, then we recommend you a multi-level or suspended ceiling. Tension samples also look modern. Their choice is now huge.
There is a seemingly paradoxical design secret - a ceiling lowered a few centimeters looks much higher thanks to well-chosen lighting.
The interior of a 1-room apartment (photos can be seen in residential design magazines) requires a special approach to lighting. Try to make it multi-level.
If you do not have the opportunity to separate different zones, then lighting will come to your aid.
For example, install a floor lamp near a transformable sofa, you can hang a sconce above the chair, and it is better to illuminate the shelves with LEDs. This way you can create several independent zones.
The most popular finish today is wallpaper. To be fair, it should be noted that the choice of this material in stores is very large.
Don't be afraid to experiment - cover one wall with photo wallpaper. They must certainly have an image with perspective. This will expand the room.
The interior of a small apartment allows the use liquid wallpaper. They are good because, if you wish, you can easily change the color of the walls when you get bored with the old one.
It is better to choose wallpaper that is plain or has a discreet small pattern.
The interior of a 1-room apartment, a photo of which you can see in this article, assumes the presence of compact and multifunctional furniture.
Transformable furniture has become extremely popular these days. It can perform multiple functions and save space as much as possible. It is advisable that the interior of a small apartment have a lot of glass elements or objects with a mirror surface.
The windows in a small apartment should not have curtains with voluminous drapery; it is better to use curtains made of light fabrics with a laconic cut. You can use blinds or calm, non-aggressive tones.
As you can see, create beautiful interior not too difficult in a small apartment. The main thing is to approach this
Designing a one-room apartment is not an easy task. This is due to the fact that a single living space must perform several different functions at once - provide an opportunity for work or study, serve as a place for communication, relaxation and sleep at night, and in some cases, also be a children's room.

There is never too much space! A large area is usually spent irrationally. And those of us who live in one-room small apartments, willy-nilly, gets used to the fact that you need to use every centimeter of your home in the most thoughtful way. Let's consider best ideas for the design of a one-room apartment.
Most of us will not always be able to think through the interior of a one-room apartment correctly on our own; we often have to resort to the help of professional interior studios. This is especially true for project development, since it is very difficult to combine all functions in a small space. A small apartment should have a recreation area, a work area, a place for meals, a children's area, and at the same time, everyone in a small apartment should have free space!!! Not an easy task... But there is no need to worry, I will give you many tips and rules for arranging and renovating a small apartment, which will become the subject of admiration for others.
Read more about the interior of the kitchen-living room.
This section contains the most interesting tips designers who will greatly facilitate your headache regarding the interior in a small space. So, let's begin:
A small one-room apartment should be functional and modern; grandma’s closets should be removed and replaced with transformable pieces of furniture.
A room, a kitchen, an entrance hall, a combined bathroom, a small storage room and a balcony, if the floor is not the first - that’s all the space of a one-room Khrushchev apartment in Moscow and other cities in the post-Soviet space. There is only about 28 square meters of area on which we must place everything we need. I can already see the rounded eyes of the readers, and the silent question - how?!? The organization of space in such apartments is on par with functionality. Nothing is impossible - and that's true.
I'll start from the entrance. The first room is . Usually this narrow corridor, in which everything is full, but there is nowhere to step. To make the hallway in a Khrushchev building spacious and at the same time preserve the functions assigned to it, you can do this:
The second room that needs rationalization is the Khrushchev kitchen. Usually six squares, we do not have the possibility of transferring communications (gas, sewerage). Therefore, they usually select a set of furniture with built-in appliances. The dining area is best placed near the window, and the table can be attached to the wall and removed if necessary. The window sill in the kitchen must be used. Moreover, from it, if you install wide window sill, you can make a table or additional working space. The set is placed either on 2 walls, or along one. Last option I personally got bored for a long time.
Finally, the most interesting thing - living room V one-room Khrushchev house. The task can be in several directions:
It is better to connect the bathroom if the layout allows. Load-bearing walls apartment buildings can't be touched. There is no need to increase the area; it is better to install a toilet and washbasin. A washing machine put it in the kitchen in a set with built-in appliances. Or, leave it in the same place.
Our room will combine several purposes at once - a guest room, a relaxation area and a work space. We choose compact furniture, a sofa or bed with drawers for linen, poufs or armchairs are also better to take with storage compartments, a table is compact and transformable. At all the mobility of furniture and the ability to use it in several areas is very important point at the time of buying.
The interior should become cozy, functional and comfortable, so I would recommend that you buy only what you can really imagine in your apartment. And before buying, it’s better to already have some clear layout of items in the apartment in order to determine in advance right size. The Internet can help you!
Area 40 square meters- quite sufficient to accommodate not only essential items and furniture. 3-4 people (for example, a family with a child) can easily live on it and not get in each other’s way. Only all this will become possible if you arrange the furniture correctly and use every centimeter of space wisely.
The first thing I want to focus on is storage systems. Corner wardrobes or a full-length tall cabinet with sliding doors, these are the most acceptable options for small apartments. The storage system can be placed in the hallway, if its width is more than 300 cm, then there will be enough space for passage, and a lot will fit in such a cabinet, of course, provided that it is made to order and its height corresponds to the height of the room. By the way, the floor and ceiling levels throughout the entire area of the apartment should be the same. Then the idea of the apartment will be uniform, different zones are highlighted with materials that match in color. Although it is possible to make the floor entirely from one coating. Unless you lay tiles in the bathroom. Although it is much more practical if the tiles are also in the kitchen, and part of the hallway nearby front door can be paved floor tiles. If you decide to do this, then you need to monitor the floor level after finishing.
Doors should open compactly, so I would recommend using folding doors. Avoid swing doors; they eat up a lot of space, which should be used more efficiently.
Compact and functional furniture is the best friend of small apartments.
You can use folding or sliding (sliding) furniture. If you make a podium on the floor, you can hide a bed or linen drawers in it, or you can buy a wardrobe-bed or a transformer that can easily be turned into a full-fledged bed if turned over. In general, any furniture will be transformable excellent option for one-room apartments. no exception - immediately buy one that has at least a bottom drawer for storing linen or toys, and even better, extendable beds that grow with the child.
You can at least turn it into another “closet”; shelves on the sides, a podium or similar solutions will allow you to remove all unnecessary things from the house and free up more space for a small sofa for guests. Nearby you can put a stylish table, which will be work area. And hang open shelves on the walls for small items.
How to arrange several zones from a one-room apartment up to 50 square meters, and at the same time leave maximum free space? Of course, the ideal option would be not to build walls, but to demolish them. But more often than not, they don’t exist anyway, because apartments with an area of 46 to 5 square meters are often immediately considered studios. But zoning is still necessary, you can’t do without it. You can’t just put furniture in a room and consider this room comfortable. The area seems to be not small, for comparison two-room apartments in Khrushchev's five-story buildings they have an area of about 42 square meters. But we have 50 of them, which is good news.
The techniques that are used to design small apartments are similar to each other - light colors, multi-level lighting, proper arrangement of furniture, functionality of the room, and then everything depends on the desire of the owner. This also applies to the choice of stylistic direction; the designer must take into account the number of permanent residents and other nuances, so that in the end the project becomes comfortable for everyone.
Mirror and glass surfaces, air niches and partitions, well-equipped storage system, thoughtful arrangement household appliances in the kitchen and so on - all this is very important. Decor in a small apartment does not have to be everywhere; it is enough to put interesting objects in several places, and put all the little things in closed shelves. If you need a sleeping and relaxation area, you can install a not very wide bed and fence it off from the rest of the area with a screen, partition, structure made of plasterboard sheets, plexiglass and other materials. If you need to install a children's bed, you can install it in the parents' sleeping area, but it is better not to hang the TV there. And install it in the guest area on a bracket in front of a small cozy sofa, which, if necessary, can be expanded and used as a second bed.
You can use any materials for finishing, but it is better to focus on matching collections. On the one hand, to support the idea of zoning, and on the other, not to spoil the overall impression. Still, the interior should remain stylish and original, but without frills.
It is impossible to give a clear answer to how to properly furnish a one-room apartment for a family with a child. Much depends on the area of the room, the needs of each family member, and the age of the child.
It is important to focus on the functionality of the entire space of the apartment; not a single corner should be wasted, but forcing all the furniture into one line along the wall is also not rational. So first, we need to think about additional systems storage - you can make opening podiums and install a bed on top, desk or something different. Loft beds for children in one-room apartment are perfect, especially if it has a mechanism with a roll-out table and a built-in wardrobe. This way the child will have his own corner, and it won’t take up much space.
There can be no talk of installing a bed for adults in a one-room apartment. Adults will have to sleep on a fold-out sofa. But they can also be comfortable, and some models have an orthopedic mattress and are modest in size.
In the hallway or pantry, we again install shelves and make lighting so that you can easily navigate there.
