Secondly, white and beige, thanks to their ability to reflect rays, correcting illumination, cope well with the lack of light in dark rooms. And finally, light shades are very versatile; they go with all colors. So if you want bright colors, then you can always dilute the beige background with some accents in the form of the same sofa cushions or textiles.

32. Partitions with diagonal layout
In the photo: Partitions in living room design
It is clear that in order to create a feeling of unity between the two rooms, it is necessary to get rid of solid doors, replacing them with a sliding transparent partition. However, in some cases you can get by with narrow partitions. As, for example, in the interior shown in the photo above. Such partitions with a diamond layout serve, in some way, as a frame through which a panorama of the adjacent room opens.
Current finishing materials
The days of ceilings and figured plasterboard partitions are long gone. In 2018, many designers are abandoning the idea of combining two types of flooring in one room. The only exception is a small tiled path along kitchen set in the design of a living room combined with a kitchen. Preferences are now given to fairly simple and traditional, but at the same time, high-quality finishing materials. Ideally, the decoration should contain natural wood.
In the interiors of beautiful apartments featured in the 2018 photo, you can most often find the following types finishing materials:
33. Diamond tiles

36. Stucco rosette for a chandelier
In the photo: Dining room design with a socket under a chandelier
Beautiful apartments in the interior photos of 2018 are almost always equipped with stucco sockets for chandeliers. This architectural element, of course, is more appropriate in neoclassical than in modern style. If the project involves the creation of a combined kitchen-dining room and living room, then in such an interior, most likely, it will be necessary to create sockets for chandeliers above each of the functional areas.
37. Stucco molding for wall decoration
The designers of Olga Kondratova’s Studio found an unusual solution for the apartment interior shown in the photo above. The wall, where, according to the design project, it is planned to place the head of the bed, was decorated with a molded cornice along almost the entire perimeter (except for the junction with the floor). The result is something like a large decorative baguette, “outlining” the bedside area.
38. Pilasters
In the photo: Fragment of a pilaster in an apartment design
Not every interior customer can afford to install classic columns today, if only because equipping such structures requires high ceilings and large areas. But pilasters are quite suitable for finishing not only big houses, but also quite modest apartments.
Most residents of cities - large and small, peripheral and metropolitan areas, most often own small apartments. But how I want to organize even this space so that the interior is completely comfortable, cozy, ergonomic and beautiful! It is believed that for maximum effective use space small apartment, its layout needs to be organized as simply as possible. It is undesirable to oversaturate the space functionally. Each room should have its own purpose. There is no need to combine them contrary to the prevailing stereotype of open space, but rather to separate the living area and kitchen, living room and bedroom.
Design tricks to visually increase space
So, where does the transformation of a small-sized apartment into a cozy, comfortable and functional home? That's right, from the compilation simple project, which you can sketch out yourself on a piece of paper.
Of course, unfortunately, it will not be possible to physically solve the problem of space shortage, but it is still worth trying to make housing more ergonomic and comfortable for life. Moreover, many positive feedback owners who decided to resort to small design tricks, promoting visual increase spaces in their apartment speak of their successful experience.
Corridor and hallway
When decorating the interior design of your small apartment, it would be appropriate to use neutral and simple things. However, these things can be simple and at the same time stylish or even designer. Also, don’t complicate and clutter what’s already there. small space. For such apartments the most suitable style is - in the interior of which only the most necessary things are present, and other unnecessary junk is thrown away.
The main task of pieces of furniture is to make maximum use of the free space of the rooms along the walls, while using corners and hidden volumes. For example, corner cupboard, occupying visually little space, will accommodate quite a large number of items, and access to it will be facilitated by self-extending shelves.
Having thought through every little detail, you can get a functional and stylish art object that attracts attention.
Objects built into each other will allow you to store them more compactly when not in use, the main thing is that their appearance is not complicated and intricate. It is appropriate if the furniture of one room is made in the same style and from the same materials or companion materials.
Narrow corridor will not be cluttered if the shoes are placed not on the floor, but in a special shoe shelf, which is compact in size, spacious enough and closed.
And in general, the fewer open surfaces on which objects are located, the more neat and uncluttered the design of a small-sized apartment looks.
Bathroom
Bathroom space will allow you to save money by properly placing all its elements. It is convenient to place the washing machine under the shelf on which washing accessories will be stored. This shelf can be multi-story, which will allow you to place rarely used or purchased hygiene products there.
The space under the washbasin can be used to store towels and a basket with things, and under the bathtub - buckets, brushes, cleaning or other plumbing supplies.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, the space above the refrigerator is often neglected, where you can install a cabinet with shelves for storing rarely used dishes. Narrow space between floor cabinets or a cabinet and a wall is well suited for a pull-out shelf on which pot lids, rolling pins and other compact items will be placed.
It is undoubtedly better to use color to decorate a small kitchen; this will visually expand the space. Tall wall cabinets will also visually increase the height and overall volume of the kitchen. Dinner table It’s better to have a sliding one, which will free up space. When 1-2 family members take food, the table does not need to be moved apart; when the whole family gathers for dinner, its size can be increased.
It's a good idea to have a couple of folding chairs that can be stored hanging on hooks behind the door or in retractable design between floor cabinets. These chairs can be taken out as needed and do not take up space when not in use. 
Living room
The living area, if possible, should be divided into separate rooms allocated for the bedroom and living room. Having your own private bedroom creates a feeling of comfort, security and stability.
Device modern beds allows you to use all its elements. Bottom part- for storing bulky items or bedding. Headboard- as a shelf, and sometimes even a bedside table, on which you can place night lamps (or reading lights), favorite photographs, souvenirs brought from travel.
If room layout has a niche, it is advisable to install a cabinet in it. It is better if it occupies the entire space from floor to ceiling. Then all things – seasonal and everyday – will be conveniently and accessible in it. Mirrors are perfect for finishing cabinet doors. This will visually enlarge the room and avoid installing a separate dressing table.
If the layout of the room does not require a niche, then you can install a corner cabinet. This design will not be visually cumbersome, but will allow you to use hard-to-reach corner space.
If after all apartment layout forces you to combine the living room and bedroom, you need to be more careful when choosing a sofa and the mechanism for folding it out. It is worth giving preference to a reliable and convenient design, because you will have to use it every day. It is also necessary to provide a built-in box for storing bedding.
Children's room
Under it you need to allocate the brightest room in the apartment. The one that receives sunlight most of the day. Let it be small, but exactly Light room. Children of any age need a table, and it should be placed near the window. It would be quite beneficial to use the same plane as the window sill as a tabletop.
This will allow you to save money and decorate your workplace in an interesting way, and place it along the side walls to the right and left of the window. bookshelves, which can accommodate not only a children's library, but also a family one.
If there are two children or the room is very small, then it makes sense to install a loft bed. In the first case, another sleeping place will fit under it, in the second, it will free up space for games or storing toys. Based on the size of the rooms - the master bedroom and the nursery - you need to determine where to store children's clothes.
If it does not allow you to place it in it wardrobe, and in the parents’ room it is spacious enough, then all children’s things can be stored in it. And for everyday items and underwear, allocate a couple of closed shelves in the closet for books or toys in the nursery. This is especially true when children are still small, and the choice of clothes is made by parents. For teenage children, you already need to allocate a separate storage space (wardrobe). The main requirement for pieces of furniture for children is reliability, safety And environmental friendliness!
Choosing shades for decorating a children's room, do not forget that the child not only spends his leisure time in it, but also studies and relaxes. Therefore, the desire to dress everything up in bright elements and colored paints can result in fatigue and excessive excitability of the child.
Zone the space, brightly decorate the part of the room in which the child will play and where his toys are stored. And if the furniture in the nursery is already quite colorful, then it is better to make the surfaces of the walls and floors in calm, light colors.
Materials
Now a few words about the choice of materials and shades for decorating the interior of an apartment with a small area.
IN small apartment preference must be given light colors and balancing geometry of the pattern. At irregular forms rooms (long and narrow) short walls can visually stretch horizontal lines in the wallpaper picture, as well as more light shade relatively long walls.
The floors in such a room are preferably parallel to short walls (if it is laminate or parquet boards). In the case of linoleum, a pattern with a horizontal transverse direction is suitable.
Decorating it in a white or light shade, as well as vertical geometry on the walls, will help to visually raise the ceiling. Verticality does not imply the presence of strict verified lines.
Such an ornament will be boring and dull. Give preference to a design that is only perceived as a whole, as vertically directed.
Its elements themselves can be abstract or of your favorite theme. Do not use saturated colors, rough and variegated fragments. If all the walls of the room are decorated in pastel colors, then one of them can be highlighted. To do this, it is good to use companion wallpaper, photo wallpaper, and frescoes. The main thing is that the drawing is not too loaded and heavy.
A bed hidden in the wall is an excellent choice for a small room
Lighting
Make sure there is sufficient lighting in the apartment. A poorly lit room seems to “hide” the darkened areas, creating the feeling of an even smaller space. A flat-shaped central source is suitable as central lighting if the ceiling is too low (less than 2.5 meters).
Always appropriate point sources on the ceiling, operating from one control center, uniformly illuminating the entire room. In the rooms you can additionally use sconce And desk lamp , if they correlate with the main lamp. The fewer diverse and dissonant interior items in a room, the simpler and more spacious it seems. In a small apartment, sliding doors or accordion doors would also be very appropriate. Then, when open, they will not take up much space.
The variety and availability of modern finishing materials and materials for the manufacture of furniture makes it possible to overcome the limitations imposed by square meters. By properly planning the space, you can always visually compensate for its volume.
And by following the simple tips outlined in this article, you can organize your small apartment interior cozy, comfortable, and most importantly, as functional as possible.
Apartment renovation begins with planning the future design. In the beginning, it is worth holding a family meeting with the participation of each family member. This is important to do, because the design of the apartment is based on the desires and preferences of the residents, so every voice and opinion is taken into account, this is the key to friendly and harmonious relationships in the family.
Once the initial ideas have been determined, you can safely turn to the architect for professional advice.
Apartment design, how not to make a mistake in it?
Before you finally decide on the interior style, you should carefully analyze own life. After all, a house, as they say, is a continuation of the owner’s personality, therefore the style is selected that corresponds to the way of life and rhythm of life of the household. Therefore, your own author’s apartment design is even more valuable. Don’t forget about global trends in interior design; by choosing a fashionable direction, the owners will not feel inconvenienced by the visiting guests, on the contrary, fashion design apartments are a source of pride.
Important point in the formation of a new project - the budget. For one style of interior, you may need much less money - usually this is a simple apartment design, but for another, finance, on the contrary, you need much more. Since some styles require rare and expensive materials, complex work processes, with the involvement of expensive professionals, such things increase the budget significantly. Therefore, details and estimates are thought out at the initial stage.
The layout and area of an apartment often become serious reasons for choosing one or another style of interior design. Others also matter a lot physical characteristics: ceiling height, type of windows, degree of natural light. This will influence the choice of color and decorative concept for decorating the entire interior of the apartment.
Design of a one-room apartment
The problem of one-room apartments is well known - you have to fit a living room and a bedroom in one room, and also a children’s room and a study. When the room is spacious - that’s one thing, then it’s better to remodel it by partitioning off a couple more rooms. But what to do if there is no desire to build walls or there is simply not enough space, which makes redevelopment a pointless task.
Designers for this case are trained to use one trick, its name is zoning. In a one-room apartment, it helps to harmoniously combine the functional areas mentioned above in one living room. Moreover, an experienced designer is able to make sure that one does not interfere with the other.
Zoning - how to do it?
Two methods of zoning space are popular. The first involves the direct physical separation of one part of the room from another. The second method involves doing this visually, using finishing materials that differ in color or texture, or using additional structures.
The easy way divide the room into two parts - build a partition in in the right place. In interior design, it is not customary to build blank walls for this purpose, so they came up with false partitions. They are distinguished by increased aesthetics. Since the design contains decorative openings, they often serve as shelves for interior accessories. Otherwise, this part bears exclusively decorative function, if they are made in a curved or other shape. Partitions are not made to cover the width of the room, but only a third or a quarter of the distance, so the sofa can be easily separated from desk or an autonomous area is created for a crib.
A bookcase can also serve as an alternative zoning partition; you just need to turn it across the room in the right place.
For a spacious, elongated living room in a one-room apartment, curtains are used for this purpose. They can easily be used to create a mobile “partition” in a distant part of the room - this place will become suitable for a bedroom.
To separate one part of the room from another visually and to make it look stylish, it is not enough to decorate it with wallpaper or wallpaper that differs in color or design. floor coverings, walls and floor. This technique can be combined with those described above or created additional design in the form of a podium on the floor or plasterboard structures on the ceiling. In this way, more often than others, the bedroom or kitchen area is separated if it is a studio apartment.
And if you don’t zone, what then?
Design studio apartment easy to make and universal; in this case, the same space performs not one, but two or even three task functions. We bought a sofa bed and here is a typical example of multifunctionality. A similar example is a transformable bed. At night it is a bed, and during the day it is a closet or even a table. The transformation mechanism easily turns one piece of furniture into another. These solutions are suitable for rooms whose areas are small and do not allow for zoning.
Studio apartment - design for the young and creative
City apartments are expensive; even with a mortgage, purchasing a full-fledged home is not possible for everyone. This is why studio apartments are so popular among young married couples. It's affordable and relatively cheap option, after communal services and separate rooms, sold in apartments. But from the point of view of interior design, the advantage is that it is in demand, which means it is fashionable. Therefore, today even apartments with a spacious area are built according to this principle.
The design of a studio apartment is often designed in a fashionable urban loft style. Why loft? On the one hand, it is fashionable and non-standard, therefore it is suitable for people with a creative way of thinking and the younger generation. On the other hand, the principle of similarity applies. After all, factory and attic areas are not divided into separate rooms. Therefore, after the development of the “territories” by students and the poor in the first half of the last century, they had to create a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom, etc. within the same space. And if we also take into account the American way of life, then bar counters also appeared in everyday life in kitchen area. This image moved into the current loft style, which literally “fits perfectly” into the layout modern studio apartments.
The design layout of a studio apartment also carries an idea modern interior, therefore, modern, high-tech styles and mixing others with them also look appropriate. In addition, these interior components belong to the same generation.
Key details in the design of different rooms
The interior design of apartment rooms has one or two details around which the rest of the interior decorations are built. They contain the functional meaning of the room. For example, for a bedroom there is a bed, for a living room there is a sofa, for a kitchen there is a set.
Living room
It is customary to receive guests in the living room, hence the name of this room. Therefore, the design is built in such a way that guests and family feel comfortable in the living room on vacation in the evenings and weekends. This is the center of the house, so the atmosphere in it is created to be moderately solemn and cozy.
The center of the room will be the part where the sofa will be placed. By the way, in the interior design of living rooms, the trend is to install a group of sofas opposite each other in a square or semicircle, with coffee table in the center. This creates an area for active conversations among friends and like-minded people. But this option is suitable for houses and apartments with spacious rooms.
Living room design in an apartment standard sizes consists in the following details: this is a sofa; design of the view opposite - TV and wall decoration; wall decor above the sofa; window decoration; lighting; at sofa area. Details are selected within the same design concept and with the participation of colors, shapes and decors that resonate with each other. This creates a harmonious and stylish environment.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the lighting. Since we have festive feasts in the living room, notes of solemnity are only in place. A chandelier is considered such a symbol in it. A carefully selected option reflects both the idea of the holiday and the interior style in which the room is decorated. According to the rules modern design interior design, it is customary to move the dining area into the living room. The chandelier is hung above the table exactly in the center.
Additional lighting for the rest of the living room comes from built-in Spotlights, LED lights, wall sconces and a floor lamp.
Bedroom design in an apartment
The main point in creating a bedroom design is creating conditions for relaxation and recuperation. In this context, furniture equipment and interior design are equally important: the color of finishing materials, textiles, lighting.
Sometimes, in order to save money, it is more advisable to focus on a comfortable bed, or more precisely on a mattress. Anatomical models are preferable. A mattress that is moderately soft and moderately elastic is an option that can provide comfortable sleep.
In the design of the bedroom, do not use bright and irritating colors and details. We come there to relax, so the details in the interior are adjusted in this direction. It’s not for nothing that in addition to the bed, some people buy a canopy made of white plain fabric; it helps to privacy and relax.
Kitchen design in an apartment
Appearance in kitchen design it is not a primary detail, although no less important than the rest. In fact, every issue related to kitchen arrangement directly relates to the issue of practicality. An unsuccessfully chosen color or type of surface will require periodic attention, for example white glossy facades less practical than matte ones of the same color.
Another question concerns technical equipment. It's about choosing correct technique and location in the kitchen. A conveniently located “work triangle”: refrigerator, cooking area, sink can save the housewife time and effort.
At first glance, details that are not obvious ultimately become the foundation for a comfortable kitchen. And for this to happen is a matter of planning, color design and the selection of materials is worked out at the design stage of the project.
Hallway
The room into which a person enters for the first time appears before him as it is; the guest’s “uncluttered” eye will see every flaw in the design, if any, and emphasize the advantages. Therefore, the design of the hallway in the apartment is thought out to the smallest detail. Furniture, lighting, a rug on the floor, a key holder on the wall are parts of the house’s business card, which speak about the further contents of the interior and a lot about the owners.
Designers recommend not allowing excessive amount details. Laconism and functionality are the main features in the design. They place things that are necessary to ensure unhindered preparation before going out. Unnecessary elements are removed from it, especially since there is rarely enough space in it. It is important to select finishing materials for decoration that can withstand brushing and wet cleaning.
Bathroom
Ceramic tile a clear favorite among finishing materials for walls and floors in the bathroom and toilet. Beautiful material, waterproof and durable - what is needed where there is a humid, aggressive environment.
In the bathroom interior, wall decoration is a sign of nobility. A front wall decorated with mosaics or tiles with photo printing will act as a panel. The theme chosen for this, as befits where there is a lot of water, is sea. Although it depends on the style. Let's say for classic design the use of images with Greek motifs is justified. If the bathroom is small, a panoramic image on the wall will have a positive effect: visually it becomes larger, and thus the bathroom design looks stylish. Large mirror in the bathroom will give the same effect in the interior.
P.S. glossy magazines with advice from designers and sources from the Internet, you can design an apartment yourself or with the participation of the whole family. It is important to provide for this a leisurely, thorough analysis of all aspects of this issue; this will ultimately give a result of 5+.
