Many young families are uncomfortable living in a one-room apartment. And if the two of us live in it quite comfortably, then with the advent of children, the problem of having our own free space becomes acute. Each person needs a place where he can be alone with himself and with his thoughts. In this situation, there is only one way out - zoning of a one-room apartment. How to do this, read below.
Cabinet zoning
The easiest way to divide the living area of the apartment into two parts is to put a wardrobe. He will act as a wall and break the room into two parts - a bedroom and a living room. Moreover, the closet is not a wall made of drywall. It will act not only as a visual separator, but also become a place where you can store things. If the total area of the shared room is large, you can purchase a sliding wardrobe with glass wings. It will help to make a small separate room visually wider and more comfortable, as there will be a lot of light in it.
If you do not want to zone a one-room apartment with a closet, you can choose something more elegant. For example, a large chest of drawers or a bookcase. Such a partition will fulfill the same role, but will not take up much space. But be prepared that the rack, which plays the role of the wall, collects a lot of dust, which will have to be removed at least twice a week. But on the shelves you can put decorative figurines that look pretty cute.
Color zoning
Not sure how to share a room? Do not like partitions? It is not necessary to zone the one-room apartment with walls. You can divide the room visually. For example, make half the room in bright colors, and half in dark. If this contrast seems unacceptable to you, try another, more relaxed option. Make repairs in calm black and gray tones. One half, which will be residential, beat dark furniture. Monochrome tones will help you fall asleep. But highlight the working area with bright furniture. It can be a color sofa, a panel depicting a summer landscape, a creative clock or a non-trivial chandelier. Furniture will not be so difficult to change or drag in case it gets bored. And repairs do not have to redo. If you are not even ready for bright furniture, you can set color accents using accessories. Lay bright pillows on a dark sofa, and throw a colored carpet under your feet.
Decorative partition
Any openwork design can help separate one part of the room from another. Today, a great many decorative partitions. You can choose something forged or an option from bamboo branches. And you can even make a construction with your own hands. It will be easy. One of the easiest ways: take PVC tubes of different sizes, cut them into rings of the same thickness and glue together in a chaotic manner. But keep in mind that such a partition will have to be washed quite often. Therefore, choosing it or making it, give preference to plastic.
Zoning of a one-room apartment can be done in a purely Russian style. Take a trip to the forest and find the fallen young trees. Trim them to the same height and fasten to the bar on the floor and ceiling. Such a partition can be decorated for each season. For example, hang snowflakes on trees in winter, and bright birds in summer.
Screen
Remember how our ancestors zoned the rooms? They used screens. Such a partition is easy to move, simple to install, if desired, it can be removed in about 10 minutes. No hassle. You can see the photo of zoning of a one-room apartment using a similar design above. Using the screen, you can separate the corridor in the studio or create a border between the living room and the bedroom. You can also create a personal reading corner or a small boudoir in the corner of the room.
A screen can also be needed if parents and growing children sleep in the same room. You can install it at night between the beds. In exactly the same way, you can share the space between the children so that they do not swear.
Another advantage of the screen: with it you can show magnificent puppet shows. First, parents will do this, entertaining the children, and then, when the children grow up, they will amuse their households.
Curtain
The simplest zoning of a one-room apartment, the photo of which you can see above, is done using a curtain. A cornice is laid around the room, and a curtain is hung on it. If you want to completely separate the premises, use a dense fabric, such as velvet. If you need a light shroud between two rooms, a chiffon tulle is quite suitable. This method is simple and inexpensive. And most importantly - practical. Yes, the curtain collects dust, but if necessary it is very easy to wash. And if you want to combine space, then just move the curtain. In case you re-stick the wallpaper or change the design of the room, you do not have to think about zoning again. Buy a different color curtain and enjoy the refreshed room. It's simple, you just need to find the right approach.
Glass doors
How beautiful is it to fence one part of the room from another? This can be done using glass doors or partitions. But what is the fence if the door is glass? You can choose not transparent, but frosted glass. It looks stylish, transmits light, but what exactly happens behind the partition will not be visible to outsiders. Yes, and it absorbs sound well. And also the glass partition feels great with high humidity, so you can even use it to separate a room that is in close proximity to the bathroom. You can choose a plain glass surface or with a decor in the form of a picture. Such zoning of a one-room apartment for a family would be ideal. The apartment will look stylish, but at the same time, children and parents will have separate rooms.
Podium
Zoning of a one-room apartment for a family with a child can be done with the help of a hill - a podium. Lift one part of the room a little higher. Today it’s fashionable to make children's corners. This design combines a desk, bed and sports horizontal bar. The child will be happy to have such an angle at his disposal. Parents have at their disposal the lower part of the room, which at the same time becomes also the living room. Therefore, you can arrange the child’s possession zone in bright colors, and the parent part in dark colors. But you can make an apartment in the general color scheme, and divide it with accessories. For example, red accents will prevail in the part of the child, and yellow in the living room.
Carpet zoning
Can't figure out how to divide the space? Try zoning a room in a one-room apartment with carpets. This is one of the very simple, budget and original ways. You should purchase two carpets of different shapes, colors and sizes. Place a sofa and a coffee table on one of them, and a crib on the other. Thus, we get two separate parts of the room, which are united by a common space. Designers often share in this way the room where one person lives. In this case, the room will serve as a sleeping corner and a working area. But it is not necessary to lay carpets in both parts of the room. You can highlight the area near the sofa with a soft coating, and the rest of the room will already visually separate.
Light zoning
If you purchased a studio apartment, you can separate the dining part from the living part with the help of lighting. Hang low lamps over the table that, when turned on, will not give a lot of light, just enough to see what you are eating. The rest of the room will float away into darkness. And in exactly the same way you need to illuminate the remaining areas of the apartment. When you are in the living room, you will see a sofa, a table and a TV. Soft light helps to relax and will not strain your eyes much. If you turn on the lighting in all parts of the house, then the apartment may look like individual islands. This effect should be sought. This idea of zoning a one-room apartment is suitable for a modern young man, but not for a married couple.
Yarn curtain
Above you can see a zoning photo of a one-room apartment. It will be very convenient to live with a child in such a room. Parents will be able to observe the behavior of their child without getting up from the couch. But at the same time, people will be able to feel secluded, because through the gaps in the curtain you will not see much. Of course, this will depend on what kind of threads it consists of and what accessories are decorated. It is best to buy a curtain made of synthetics. Fittings should be wooden or plastic. In this case, you can wash your zoning element in the machine.
Today you can pick up filament curtains in any color. They will suit both the interior, made in a modern style, and the room, made in the style of minimalism.
Wallpaper zoning
Thinking of dividing a room by color? Zoning the room with wallpaper. How to do it? Choose a plain wallpaper and matching wallpaper with a pattern. Today, by the way, a floral print is in fashion. Wallpaper with large leaves, trees and flowers is at the peak of popularity.
You can see the photo of zoning of a studio apartment for a family above. Here, using a photo wallpaper, one wall is highlighted. And this is the right move. You can select the corner of the room in this way, but no more. Do not paste half the room with printed wallpaper. To balance both parts of the room, they should be supplemented with details. Decorate the motley part with bright wallpaper with something monophonic, but make bright accents in the monophonic half.
Drywall zoning
This technique was popular a decade ago. But today you can find people who zoned the interior of a one-room apartment with drywall. Remember - this is unfashionable today. Small partitions can be allowed, but these should not be large, heavy walls. Simple geometry is in fashion today, so do not complicate the shape if you decide to make a separation from drywall. Zoning of the interior of a studio apartment is given above. This is an example of how not to do it. The option looks good, but the wall eats up a huge part of the space. Shelves will collect dust, and the visual separator, if tired of it after a year, will be very difficult to remove. If you need to zone a room, pay attention to the points given in this article above.
