Living room and bedroom in one room 18 sq m – zoning, design, photo with bed

We often become hostages of our own space. Ideally, of course, you want to have an apartment / house with a large area, but you have to appreciate what you have. And by the way, in such tight conditions, it might be pretty good to combine a living room and a bedroom. The main thing is to show ingenuity, a drop of cunning and a pinch of imagination, in addition, to decide on non-standard design solutions.

Thanks to this, you will get the combination of two rooms in a small area, so also, with the correct layout and combinatorial furniture and other accessories, you can bring comfort and coziness to your room. After all, the true purpose of the rooms is fundamentally divided – a bedroom, intimate, intended for rest, sleep, recuperation and energy. Living room – a common room designed for receiving guests.

It seems that combining these two rooms in one rather small area is quite a difficult task. But it is not so! Bedroom – living room in one room 18 sq. m. with bed – is it possible to? (Photo at the end of the article). We’ll have to change the priority of the rooms. The living room will have to play the main role, while the bedroom is of secondary importance. And this does not mean at all that we will be negligent in the interior design of the bedroom. By no means.

Zoning with curtains, screen

The most budgetary of the proposed options. The screen is easy to rearrange from place to place, so you will not have any problems with rearrangement. In addition, this zoning method is suitable for those who have one window in the room..

Interesting fact: for sufficient daylight transmission, use transparent materials for the screen, or light colors.

The downside of this zoning is the complete absence of sound insulation between the shared rooms. In addition, it is worth considering how the screen will fit into the interior..

Furniture zoning

This zoning method has gained the greatest popularity due to the fact that the furniture in the room is present a priori. Therefore, having shown only a little ingenuity when rearranging, we will get a comfortable combination of rooms. In addition, with this option, you will get a mixture of the required amount of furniture and functional.

Tip: when zoning a room, take into account each piece of furniture, in other words, analyze your space for the presence of unnecessary items.

Otherwise, you end up with congested space. A good assistant in this will be modular, transformable furniture. An armchair – a bed at night will serve as a place to sleep and rest, and in the daytime it is a fairly comfortable armchair, with an internal niche for storing bedding. And a table – a book in everyday life is transformed into a nightstand, but if friends or relatives appear (as always, unexpectedly), then it will serve as an object around which you will seat your guests.

Zoning with partitions

Partitions: capital, plasterboard, glass and fabric. The capital partition is made, as a rule, of bricks or blocks of foam concrete and sand-cement mortar. Placed on a cleaned concrete base. Unfortunately, you have to run for permission from the bureau of technical inventory. But upon completion of these inconveniences, you will actually get two rooms with excellent soundproofing. Plasterboard flooring is easy to install and does not require serious financial costs.

It is worth noting that, from a design point of view, drywall is much more profitable – after all, shelves, glass inserts and lighting elements are easily mounted in it. In addition, sound-absorbing insulating material can easily fit between the layers of drywall, which in a compartment will give almost the same effect as a capital partition, but it will cost you a little less and will not cause so much trouble. But the main disadvantage of the above methods is the desirable presence of two or more windows in the room. Otherwise, natural light will not be enough and you will have to think about options with artificial lighting..

A glass partition is much more preferable in this regard. After all, she lets in the light that enters the room. In addition, you can choose a pleasant matte shade that will add intimacy to your bedroom and hide it from prying eyes. One of the main principles for choosing a glass floor is safety..

Advice – when choosing glass, it is recommended to choose tempered glass that does not form sharp fragments.

The glass looks beautiful and modern, and when inside another room the light is on in an unusual and mysterious way. Fabric or bamboo partitions, as an option, can be used for zoning a room. But you have to take into account the general style of the room and see if they fit into the overall interior.

The capital partition is made, as a rule, of bricks or blocks of foam concrete and sand-cement mortar.

Zoning with sliding doors

Also have every reason to install. The choice of door material, as well as guides, depends only on your budget and will be able to satisfy even the most modest needs. This method is easy to maintain and install. In addition, glass (matte, glossy, stained glass) is mounted in the door, which will add an additional highlight to the separated space. But in front of such doors, a so-called dead zone forms, where it will not be possible to put things or pieces of furniture. Be sure to consider this aspect when planning your room and choosing zoning..

Wallpaper zoning

As the basis for decorating a room, this type of room alignment is rather auxiliary in nature. With this zoning, the room will become divided visually, but not actually. It clearly identifies a work or leisure space. But this does not diminish the merits of this method. Wallpaper zoning will allow you to create a different mood and feel for your rooms. Wallpaper creates a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the living room, and an atmosphere conducive to relaxation in the bedroom.

Make a preliminary assessment of the wallpaper that you are going to glue. So that they are combined in color, ornament, pattern, style. If you do not have such skills, do not take risks, do not rely on your own feelings. Take advantage of ready-made offers and color combinations. Or use the choice visually, in the store. An experienced seller will be able to advise you on combining wallpaper, and before buying you can visually assess their compatibility.

Did you know: for a bedroom, give preference to warm colors (beige, brown, white).

These are basic colors that come in many shades and allow you to place accents where you want them. These tones combine with vibrant colors (reds, blues, greens) and their hues to give your bedroom a unique design that will delight you. For the living room, the choice of color is also an important task. Because bright colors used as primary colors are likely to cause discomfort. It is recommended to use them as secondary ones or to place accents. Also, this method is beneficial from a financial point of view..

Podium zoning

An interesting and versatile method from a designer’s point of view. The podium takes up all the free space by the window. Under it is a pull-out bed. It is recommended to use full-withdrawable guides, since they can withstand more weight, practically have no side play, jamming of the sliding element is excluded, as a rule, they are equipped with closers from a distance of 3-5 centimeters and are practically silent.

They have a fairly high market value, but they represent a much higher level of comfort of use than roller ones. The resulting podium will easily accommodate a workplace (chair, computer table), a home garden, or even a children’s area, if you put fences around the edges of the podium. Most likely, you will have to resolve the issue of placing additional heating radiators, because by default they are placed under the window.

Instead of an afterword

As you can see, there are many zoning methods. It all depends on your imagination. The space is divided as you please – furniture, partitions, curtains, glass, light. In addition, the space is visually divided by flooring, wallpaper and multi-level ceilings..

It’s a good idea to experiment with lighting of varying degrees of intensity, which will help to emphasize the necessary areas in more detail. In addition, use some tricks: a wardrobe – a compartment today will be the best solution to practicality and aesthetics, a bedside table under the TV clutters up the space – use a swivel hinged bracket for a better view from all points of the room.

eight

Use furniture without visible legs – this will allow your room to be visually more spacious, in addition, do not exclude the use of transformable furniture, this will save you already precious space. Do not use bulky wardrobes, but instead of armchairs, perhaps, use soft ottomans. The task is simplified if one person lives in the apartment..

If the combination of the room is done by the family, with its own needs and multitasking for each person, the problem of zoning is posed a little more difficult. It remains to prepare a plan in advance – a scheme for the future design of the room and not be afraid of changes. But if you want to get a bedroom and a living room from one room, without losing comfort, it is better to use the services of a professional designer..
