The bedroom is one of the important rooms in our house, because it is here that we rest, relax after a hard working day. But to make it really comfortable, convenient, pleasant to be here, it is important how the layout of the bedroom is completed. Most come solely from their own preferences, and the most responsible ones turn to interior designers who think through the space as clearly as possible, taking into account the preferences of the residents.
Ergonomics
The good design of any room depends on the correct design. In order for the sleeping area to be comfortable 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 layout of 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.
We take into account 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 should be at least 70 cm. This does not apply to bedside tables. The main thing is that you can safely go to 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 was convenient to use them. At the same time, they should not conceal such a small useful 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 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 not typical ...
Rules are rules, but far from always there is 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 the 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, do not put full length cabinets in it. The task is to make the room shorter and give it the correct shape, using storage systems for this. It is better to place the bed near the window, and with the help of a low chest of drawers to separate the berth.
It is even more difficult to furnish a room with two doors. It is important to correctly position the bed so that both entrances from it are visible. The living and aisle areas are best separated by cabinet furniture: most should be placed near a long wall - this will make the room more correct.
Features of zoning space
The interior of a modern bedroom can be designed in different stylistic decisions - 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 sleep or if a work or training zone will be located here.
The main functional area is a sleeping place: here, if space allows, you can equip a real female corner. But often you have to put a desk 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, dressing table, wardrobe and pouffe. But the bed will be the main plan of the room: it is both the most dimensional element of furniture and the most functional. The layout of the bedroom in the apartment begins with the installation of the bed, and the remaining elements will "rotate" around it.
Furniture selection rules
Experts say that the bed should be the maximum size, but the chest of drawers and wardrobe can be chosen and compact. Of course, you need a bedside table, since you can put a nightlight on it, put a book or glasses on it. Otherwise, you have to put it all on the floor. If there is no place for a chest of drawers, shelves can be hung: various accessories are put on them, decor - after all, the room should be lively and comfortable.
The bedroom is different
When planning the space of any room, one should proceed from its dimensions and dimensions. The simplest option is the layout of a rectangular bedroom or square room. If the size of the room is sufficient, you can think over here not only a recreation area, but also a workplace, taking a free corner under it. If you like to read or knit, you can put a chair or an ottoman in the same corner and supplement them with a floor lamp and a small table. Those who change clothes in the bedroom will need a large mirror - where else can you admire your loved one?
The easiest way to plan is a bedroom of a simple form, however, modern buildings are increasingly offering the wrong configuration. Too long and narrow rooms, for example, are difficult to think through from the point of view of the planning decision, since it is necessary to place furniture taking into account the proportionality of space. Such a layout of the bedroom (the photo allows you to evaluate such non-standard rooms from the point of view 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 racks and cabinets with mezzanines under the ceiling. You can also adjust the space with visual illusions, which involve a combination of certain design moves. A particularly careful approach requires the layout of a children's bedroom. Most often, the smallest room is given under it, in which you need to leave a place also for the gaming and working areas. But compact rooms are the most cozy and comfortable, which is especially important for children. Experts advise to pay attention to such details of the design of a children's bedroom, such as:
- the use of light wallpaper, visually increasing the space;
- Wallpaper is better to choose with a horizontal pattern;
- more mirrors - the room will significantly 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 sacrifice in the form of amenities. So, creating designs for the layout of a bedroom of small sizes, you can abandon bedside tables, and instead hang wall shelves. Such an interior will not be cluttered, but light.
If the bedroom and living room are one room
An even more complicated case is the layout of the living room, which is combined with the bedroom. In this case, it is important to allocate a place 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-bedroom 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 the room a full bedroom and a cozy guest area. This layout of the living room-bedroom suggests that the bed will not be walk-through, so the bed is placed at the window, opposite the door. Of course, you can make a partition, but this is an unsuccessful decision. Firstly, the room will be too cluttered. Secondly, any partitions hide the useful space and deprive it of natural light.
If the partitions are still not enough, you can use mobile partitions. Separate the bedroom area from the living area can be a different color scheme of the floor covering or the location of the floor at different levels, the original lighting system will help. 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 general stylistic correspondence of the chosen option to the general 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. According to designers, this is functional and practical, since all zones will be concentrated in a single space. In addition, each zone can be decorated in a specific 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 elements;
- division into zones is still possible in a spacious room, and not in a small room, which is impossible to share.
If the bedroom is 12 square meters. m
A small quadrature of bedrooms is a fairly common occurrence in urban areas. However, the layout of the bedroom is 12 square meters. m can be very interesting if the design is done competently. Literacy refers to the correct arrangement of furniture, the organization of all necessary zones, and the selection of decorative elements. The basic furniture is, as usual, a bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers, bedside tables, and as an addition you can choose a TV or dressing table. We offer several ways of arranging furniture in a room of 12 square meters. m:
- In the first scenario, all the furniture elements are located symmetrically in the room. Of the minuses of this decision, it is possible to note a too narrow passage that remains between the wall and the bed.
- The use of numerous cabinets and storage boxes, which are located symmetrically. Among the shortcomings can be noted the complex design of the cabinets, which cannot be cluttered to the eyeballs.
- Using a large wardrobe, which is located opposite the entrance and makes the general appearance 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, I must say that planning a 12-meter room is very, very difficult, because you need to fight for every useful centimeter of area.
findings
The layout of the bedroom is not easy, especially if it is complicated by small or non-standard sizes. But if in doubt, you can always turn to professional designers: they really 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 for relaxation, comfortable, calm and pleasant.
