All about the bedroom in "Khrushchev"

In small-sized "Khrushchevs" it is rather difficult to solve the issue of design. The layout does not allow many modern interior options to be realized. In this article, we will figure out how to properly decorate a beautiful bedroom in a small apartment.

The interior decoration of any room directly depends on its layout, size and purpose.

In small-sized brick apartments, the size of the bedroom does not exceed 10-12 sq. m. The correct shape of the room allows you to implement more design solutions in a small area.

However, some rooms have a narrow shape, which is not as easy to arrange as a standard rectangular one. In such a bedroom, furniture is most often placed along the wall and there is very little free space. Therefore, it is necessary to come up with an option in which the furniture would be conveniently placed, and the interior would look beautiful. If the area of ​​the bedroom does not exceed 6-8 meters, then the most important thing is to functionally arrange furniture and necessary things.

Sometimes a bedroom becomes so small as a result of redevelopment or due to the size of another room. In small apartments, rooms are rarely square. A narrow elongated room cannot be divided along, but if you try to divide the space across, then one of the resulting rooms will remain without a window. Hence, it is necessary to come up with a solution to the problem of the lack of daylight.

The bedroom is approximately 12 m² in size and can accommodate a bed, a bedside table and a cupboard. If you put only one bedside table instead of two, then a desktop will fit in the space. The 8-10 m² bedroom can accommodate a double bed. There will be some free space for a bedside table or cabinet.

Sometimes the bedroom area does not exceed 6 m². If such a room is designed for one person, then you can put a bed, a desk and a small cabinet in it. If it is planned to place a bed for two people in a small room, then only one large piece of furniture will fit: a wardrobe, a table or a chest of drawers. Most often, the bed is placed near the window, and the window sill plays the role of an additional shelf.

If we are talking about 3-room or 2-room apartments, then the bedroom in them will most often be used only for relaxation or sleep. A large room is much easier to arrange than a small space. In this case, you do not need to divide the room into zones, as is necessary in a small one-room apartment.

Redevelopment is often used in a small bedroom. An apartment with a competent approach can easily turn into a studio. You can remove unnecessary doors and walls that take up free space. This approach allows you to expand the premises and make life more comfortable in it. However, such actions may require special permits.

If several people will live in a small apartment, then the design of the studio is not the best solution. For such a redevelopment, certain disadvantages are characteristic: you will have to buy silent household appliances and appliances, and there will be a smell when cooking. If redevelopment is planned, then the resulting room can be turned into a living room-bedroom.

It is not very difficult to repair small apartments with your own hands, because we are talking about working in a small space. However, at the same time, everything you need should fit in a small area: furniture, household appliances and personal belongings.

Regardless of the size of the apartment, it will need additional insulation. Spraying polyurethane foam is perfect for these purposes. This method allows you to quickly cope with insulation work and in fact shows high functionality.

The insulation method has some advantages:

• the room will keep warm well;
• excess moisture from the street will not penetrate into the rooms;
• such insulation will last for a long time;
• environmental friendliness;
• fire resistance;
• wide range of "working" temperatures.

The same layer does not allow the precious heat to "leave" the apartment. It is better to entrust insulation of this kind to specialists immediately, since the procedure has many important nuances.

To make a beautiful renovation in a small bedroom, you need to think over everything - materials for surface finishing, wallpaper colors and the overall design of the room. Designers say that the most optimal solution for small bedrooms are small boards that will look beautiful on the floor. All shades of beige are recognized as the best combination of colors, since light colors visually expand the space. If the floor is planned to be made dark, then the walls and ceiling should be light - this will create a harmonious contrast in the interior.

Materials such as parquet, linoleum and laminate are excellent options. It is better to refuse heavy coatings (marble or tiles).

You should also avoid choosing oversized prints and intricate designs, as they “eat up” precious space. In small rooms, small drawings or monochromatic colors look good. The warm range will visually bring the vaults of the walls closer, and the cold one will move them away. This principle works well when decorating a small bedroom. If you have to deal with the finishing of an elongated room, then you should follow the recommendations of specialists:

• it is better to paint a short room in beige;
• it is advisable to transform the elongated space with cold colors.

The furnishings are to be arranged in a small room, which rarely has an area of ​​more than 10 m². It is quite possible to cope with this task. If necessary, it is better to replace standard large cabinets with hidden shelves designed for storing things. It is worth choosing tall, but narrow furniture - dressers and cabinets. Corner wardrobe is a great option for a miniature room.

The basic set of furniture items consists of the following.

• Bed. You can use more compact counterparts: a sliding sofa or a pouf of the same design. Sliding beds, which turn into a spacious wardrobe or sofa, are also a good choice. In any case, the sleeping place should be compact, without massive elements. It is better if the bed has a headboard when it comes to the bed. Without this detail, the interior will look unfinished. An excellent choice would be beds equipped with sections for storing things.

• Cupboard. A corner model that does not take up much space is a good choice. If the cabinet is supplemented with mirror inserts, this will visually expand the space. It is better to choose tall and narrow cabinets.

• Bedside table or chest of drawers. In principle, you can completely do without this piece of furniture or choose an angular model. The bedside table will perfectly cope with the role of an additional shelf.

Classic chandeliers and other size lights are not suitable for a small bedroom. The best option for such a room is a unique lighting system. Spotlights are perfect, which visually make the space larger.

The optimal solution to the issue of lighting in a small bedroom are:

• spot lighting;
• small matte shades;
• LED strip.

The functions of the room play an important role in this matter. For example, in a two-room apartment, the bedroom can play the role of a place to relax, as well as a boudoir, study or nursery. In a one-room apartment, the bedroom simply does not contain everything you need. Smaller spaces require more original solutions. Instead of a bed, you can put a sofa, so that the bedroom can easily be converted into a cozy living room. The same option is relevant if the bedroom will play the role of an office.

A corner table with shelves will be an excellent replacement for an ordinary wardrobe. A bedroom and a boudoir can be placed in the same room, it is enough to put a comfortable table with a mirror next to the bed.

For zoning a room, walls made of cubes are often used. This design allows you to hide the bed. You can hang thick curtains or a special cornice attached to the ceiling. If the general style of the interior does not allow such solutions, you can install dense partitions made of plywood or drywall.

The design of a small room should focus on functionality. Therefore, the design of such premises does not imply a wide variety of options. It is best to choose the most functional and practical solutions that will transform the bedroom and make it beautiful.

Designers are advised to consider the following design styles when it comes to small rooms.

• Minimalism. A style that is consistent with functionality. The interior should contain only everything you need. Preference is given to beautiful but simple pieces of furniture. Restrained colors, play on contrast, as well as simple geometric lines are relevant.

• Scandinavian. Another contemporary style that combines simplicity with luxury. The room can be furnished with a small amount of functional and beautiful furniture.

• Fusion. This style combines elements of different directions. It is necessary to take the best and most relevant from other styles and combine them in the interior.

Beautiful textiles are an indispensable attribute of the interior. Pillows, bedspreads, curtains and rugs can decorate any room. It is better to choose models without large drawings or patterns. Monochrome colors of calm tones will look good. All shades of blue and gray look great, a combination of white and black colors will be an actual solution. The main task when decorating a small bedroom is not to overload the space with unnecessary details.

A massive blanket or bedspread with abundant drapery, huge pillows cannot be harmoniously combined with minimalism. If the room is decorated in a minimalist tradition, then it is better to choose a beautiful bedspread and curtains of the correct shape. It is worth giving up heavy curtains, in a small room blinds, tulle or roman blinds will look much more appropriate. It is also better not to use drapery. Nice monochromatic fabrics with a soft sheen are ideal.

Another design goal is to create coziness. To do this, you should arrange photos in frames, as well as beautiful paintings.

There are a lot of interesting ideas for visually increasing the space. For example, you can connect a bedroom with a balcony. The latter should be pre-insulated.

A good solution would be to install arches instead of classic doors. Thus, you can increase the doorway and push the standard boundaries.It is better not to use swing structures - they take up too much space. Coupe doors look good in small rooms, if there is simply no way to put an arch.

Sliding doors do not need additional space when opening, but there should be room on the sides of such doors. The doors will slide apart.

You can talk about all possible design solutions for a very long time.

• The combination of a light interior and design with a complex geometric pattern will look great. Dark furniture goes well with dark colored floors.

• The bright bedroom looks beautiful in any style. The combination of white walls and a sofa of the same color works perfectly. The yellow furniture also looks nice. Internal lighting adds coziness and beauty to the interior.

• When placed correctly, dark elements look beautiful and harmonious. In such an interior it will be pleasant to relax and spend your free time.
