The bedroom is one of the important rooms in our house, because it is here that we rest, relax after a hard day's work. But in order to be really comfortable, convenient, pleasant to be here, it is important how the layout of the bedroom is done. Most proceed solely from their own preferences, and the most responsible turn to interior designers who think through the space as clearly as possible, taking into account the preferences of the residents.
The main thing is ergonomics
The good design of any room depends on the correct design. In order for the sleeping area to be cozy and suitable for our requirements, it is important to proceed from the basic principles of organizing the required areas and arranging furniture. Only in this case, the layout of the bedroom will have a calm and pleasant rest. You need to start arranging this room with a plan. It includes a scheme for arranging furniture and other items while maintaining the minimum allowable distance between them. It is clear that the plan of a small bedroom will differ significantly from the design of a spacious room.
Keep in mind the rules
There is a certain concept according to which you need to equip the bedroom. So, the layout of the bedroom will be correct if the following nuances are observed:
- The distance from the side of the bed to the wall or other objects in the room must be at least 70 cm. This does not apply to bedside tables. The main thing is that you can safely go to the bed, undress and lie down. If the bed is double, then the passages to it should be on both sides.
- The dressing table or bedside table should be located so that it is convenient to use them. At the same time, they should not hide the already small usable space.
- You can choose any wardrobe in the bedroom, but its dimensions should be in harmony with the amount of space. Opening and closing cabinets should be convenient, therefore, the passage to them should be well thought out.
- Furniture should not be placed in front of the window - you will have to constantly curtain the windows, go out onto the balcony, open the window.
If the bedroom is atypical…
Rules are rules, but there is not always a purely physical opportunity to follow them. That is why the layout of the bedroom is always individual. So, very often there are cases when the window is closed by the head of the bed or dressing table, or the bed is placed against one wall so that the rest of the room remains free. Particularly interesting are the rooms in which there are niches, additional corners, entrance vestibules. Of course, you have to work hard with their layout, but in general, you can create a very interesting interior here.
If the room is narrow and elongated and has a small window, you should not put full-length cabinets in it. The task is to make the room shorter and give it the right shape, using storage systems for this. It is better to place the bed next to the window, and use a low chest of drawers to separate the bed.
It's even more difficult to furnish a room with two doors. Here it is important to correctly position the bed so that both entrances from it are visible. The living and walk-through areas are best separated by cabinet furniture: most of it should be placed against a long wall - this will make the room more correct.
Features of space zoning
The interior of a modern bedroom can be designed in different stylistic solutions - from classic and minimalism to exotic. In any of the options, the layout of the room (bedroom) provides for the correct zoning, and it depends on whether this room is intended only for sleeping or whether a work or study area will be located here.
The main functional area is a sleeping place: here, if space permits, you can equip a real women's corner. But often you have to put a work table or a crib in the bedroom. But there is a typical set of furniture that is always in any bedroom. We are talking about a chest of drawers, bedside tables, a dressing table, a wardrobe and a pouffe. But the main thing in terms of the room will be the bed: it is the most dimensional element of furniture, and the most functional. The layout of the bedroom in the apartment begins withinstallation of the bed, and the rest of the elements will "rotate" around it.
Rules for choosing furniture
Experts say that the bed should be the maximum size, but you can choose a chest of drawers and a wardrobe that are compact. A bedside table, of course, is needed, as you can put a night light on it, put a book or glasses. Otherwise, you will have to put it all on the floor. If there is no place for a chest of drawers, you can hang shelves: various accessories and decor are placed on them - after all, the room should be lively and comfortable.
Bedroom is different
When planning the space of any room, one should proceed from its size and dimensions. The easiest option is the layout of a rectangular bedroom or a square room. If the size of the room is sufficient, you can think over here not only a recreation area, but also a workplace, allocating a free corner for it. If you like to read or knit, you can put an armchair or a pouffe in the same corner and complement them with a floor lamp and a small table. Those who change in the bedroom will need a large mirror - where else to admire yourself?
Planning is easiest for a bedroom with a simple shape, but modern buildings are increasingly offering wrong configurations. Too long and narrow rooms, for example, are difficult to think through from the point of view of a planning decision, since furniture must be placed taking into account the proportionality of the space. Such a layout of the bedroom (the photo allows you to evaluate such non-standard rooms in terms of design)involves the installation of long furniture behind short walls - with this option, it is possible to divide the space into functional zones.
For small rooms
If the room is small, you can visually enlarge it using shelving and cabinets with mezzanines right up to the ceiling. You can also correct the space with visual illusions, which involve a combination of certain design moves. Particularly careful approach requires the layout of the children's bedroom. Most often, the smallest room is given under it, in which you need to leave space for the play and work areas. But compact rooms are the most cozy and comfortable, which is especially important for children. Experts advise paying attention to such design details of the children's bedroom as:
- use of light wallpaper that visually enlarges the space;
- wallpaper is better to choose with a horizontal pattern;
- more mirrors - the room will noticeably increase the space of the bedroom;
- save a compact room from extra chairs, shelves, tables.
In any case, the layout of the room, in which you need to save the available space, requires sacrifices in the form of amenities. So, when creating small bedroom layout designs, you can abandon bedside tables and hang wall shelves instead. Such an interior will not be cluttered, but light.
If the bedroom and living room are one room
An even more difficult case is the layout of the living room, which is combined with the bedroom. ATIn this case, it is important to allocate space to both the recreation area and the area where you can spend time with the whole family or with friends. Most often this occurs in one-room and two-room apartments. The layout of the living room-bedroom requires the selection of the right furniture. For example, the bed will have to be abandoned, replacing it with a folding sofa bed. A good option is furniture with numerous spacious drawers in which you can hide bedding.
If the room is of sufficient size, then it is quite possible to make a full-fledged bedroom and a cozy guest area in the room. This layout of the living room-bedroom suggests that the bed will not be a walk-through, so the bed is placed by the window, opposite the door. Of course, you can make a partition, but this is an unsuccessful solution. First, the room will be too cluttered. Secondly, any partitions hide usable space and deprive it of natural light.
If there are still not enough partitions, mobile partitions can be used. You can separate the bedroom area from the living room area by different color schemes of the flooring or by placing the floor at different levels, and the original lighting system will help in this. Partitions should not be used in small rooms. In this case, you can decorate the room with a fabric or bamboo curtain. When choosing, it is important to take into account the overall stylistic compliance of the chosen option with the overall design of the space.
Pros and cons
It is clear that there is not always a choice, and the bedroom has to be combined with the living room. Byaccording to designers, it is functional and practical, since all zones will be concentrated in a single space. In addition, each zone can be decorated in a certain style, which will make it individual and original. But there are a number of nuances that should not be forgotten:
- do not clutter up the space with unnecessary details and furniture;
- division into zones is still possible in a spacious room, and not in a small room, which is impossible to divide.
If the bedroom is 12 square meters. m
Small squaring of bedrooms is quite common in urban areas. However, the layout of the bedroom is 12 square meters. m can be very interesting if the design is done correctly. Literacy is understood as the correct arrangement of furniture, the organization of all necessary zones, the selection of decorative elements. The basic furniture is, as usual, a bed, a wardrobe, a chest of drawers, bedside tables, and as additions, you can choose a TV or a dressing table. We offer several ways to arrange furniture in a room of 12 square meters. m:
- In the first scenario, all furniture items are arranged symmetrically in the room. Of the minuses of this solution, one can note a too narrow passage that remains between the wall and the bed.
- The use of numerous cabinets and storage boxes that are arranged symmetrically. Among the shortcomings, one can note the complex construction of cabinets that cannot be cluttered to capacity.
- Using a large wardrobe,which is located opposite the entrance and makes the overall view of the room more beautiful. It is only important that the distance from the cabinet to the rest of the furniture is sufficient.
In general, it must be said that planning a 12-meter room is very, very difficult, since you need to fight for every useful centimeter of area.
Conclusions
Designing a bedroom is not an easy task, especially if it is complicated by small or non-standard sizes. But if in doubt, you can always turn to professional designers: they know exactly how to make candy even from the smallest room. In any case, you should not try to put a huge amount of furniture in one room, because the bedroom is a place to relax, comfortable, calm and pleasant.
