Design of a small room (12 m2) with a sofa.

The bedroom in the house is considered one of the most important rooms, because it is here that a person spends a significant part of his life, relaxing after a hard day and gaining strength for new achievements. That is why such strict requirements are imposed on the bedroom.

In order for the new bedroom design to fully suit the owners of the home, it is necessary to think through every detail in advance, because the needs of each family are different.There are 2 division systems:

• Pabout belonging;
• Pabout the type of housing (in a private home, in a panel house with an improved layout, in a Khrushchev-era building).

Types of bedrooms by purpose

The type of furnishings and style of the room should be used taking into account who will own the bedroom. There may be several options here.

1. Spousal (or parental).

This room should be as comfortable and aesthetically pleasing as possible. In addition, it is necessary to bring at least a touch of romance here, because spouses not only relax in the bedroom, but also want to be alone.

2. Bachelor.

The furnishings in this room are as close to a marital room as possible.

3. Children's.

Typically, the child's bed is located in the nursery, which serves as both a play and study area.

4. In a one-room apartment.

These cases also require a special approach, since the bedroom is combined with the living room.

The influence of housing type on bedroom furnishings

As already mentioned, the type of home has a great influence on the design of the bedroom.

1. Own house.

The peculiarity of interior design in a private house is that residents can choose a room for a bedroom based on their own preferences - they have such an opportunity.

If there is a second floor in the house, designers recommend equipping the bedroom there. Absolutely inimitable design options are available for arranging a bedroom in the attic.

2. Panel house with improved layout.

In this case, the owners have slightly less choice than in the previous case, but there are plenty of opportunities to equip a spacious, bright bedroom without worrying about cramped space.

3. Khrushchev-era buildings.

This type of housing is one of the most common in our country, and it is here that difficulties with interior design arise. The main reason is the small area of ​​the premises and low ceilings. There is no talk of any spaciousness here.

Sofa in the bedroom - space saving

Many residents of small apartments install only beds in the bedrooms, sacrificing precious square meters and refusing other important interior items. Whether to use the same option is up to the residents to decide.

A properly selected sofa can successfully replace even the most comfortable bed, and here's why.

1. Saving space.

This is probably the first thing that comes to mind, and this statement is indeed true. Unlike a double bed, a sofa in its assembled form takes up 2 times less space, and therefore there will still be enough space in the room during the day.

2. Functionality.

Manufacturers offer the use of a huge number of folding sofas, which differ in size and type of mechanism.

3. Convenience.

Now you can choose absolutely any sofa, taking into account the size, level of softness and type of upholstery.

4. Functionality.

If you want to save a little more space, choose models with drawers at the bottom.

5. Versatility.

The sofa will fit perfectly into both the master bedroom and all other types of rooms.

Selecting Furniture for a Small Bedroom

So, even if you have already decided on the purchase of a sofa, the question remains open about how to arrange furniture in a 12 sq. m. bedroom without compromising free space and, most importantly, how to choose it?

It should be noted that there is a fairly standard list of furniture items that should definitely be in every bedroom:

• TOa sofa or a couch;
• Sha wardrobe (if there is no dressing room in the house);
• Tbedside umbas (they can also be successfully placed near the sofa);
• Na small chest of drawers (very convenient for storing small items and underwear).

If desired, you can also use items such as a TV (monitor) and a dressing table in the bedroom. Depending on your preferences, the list can be shortened or expanded.

1. Wardrobe.

The design of a small room of 12 sq. m with a sofa simply cannot do without a storage system. At the same time, choosing a suitable wardrobe model is quite difficult, because in a cramped room any wardrobe will look much larger than it actually is. To at least slightly improve the situation, designers recommend choosing built-in wardrobes along the entire wall from floor to ceiling. Another detail that makes life easier in a small apartment is sliding doors (ideally mirrored or with frosted glass).

2. Shelves.

You can store a cell phone, TV remote control, alarm clock and other small items on the bedside table. In a Khrushchev-era bedroom, such a (seemingly) small piece of furniture can become an unaffordable luxury, because it will “eat up” quite a lot of space. Is there a way out? Of course, these are hanging shelves.

3. Sofa.

As for the choice of a sofa, here you can completely rely on your preferences, since there are a great many options on the market. They all differ in the type of mechanism and style. The "American folding bed", "Dolphin", "Verona" will be quite spacious when disassembled.

How to arrange furniture in a small bedroom of 12 sq m

Choosing the right furniture for a small space is very important, but it is equally important to arrange it correctly. Taking into account the recommendations of interior designers, it will be much easier to cope with this, and the result will exceed all expectations.

1. Symmetrical arrangement method.

Its essence lies in the fact that paired objects are installed on both sides of a given axis. A striking example can be bedside tables against the wall on both sides of the bed or sofa. The same can be done with a built-in wardrobe - divide it into 2 parts and install them on the sides of the sofa. In this case, the TV can be hung on the opposite wall. This furnishing looks quite laconic and traditional. However, it has a drawback - it can only be used in a room of a square (or close to it) shape.

2. Asymmetrical.

In this case, the sofa becomes the focal point, and all other objects are placed around it along the perimeter of the walls. Looking at a photo of such an interior, it may seem that all the objects are placed in the room absolutely chaotically, but this is far from true. However, in order to maintain harmony in the space, the swing principle is used. In other words, the main emphasis is on the fact that high objects alternate with low ones.

Style sets the mood

If your apartment cannot boast a spacious, light bedroom, this is not a reason to be upset. There are no less effective solutions for small spaces.

If you desperately do not want to put up with such small dimensions of the room and inconvenient layout, it can be expanded a little at the expense of other rooms or a balcony. A bedroom combined with a balcony gives amazing opportunities for implementation.

For a 12 sq. m. bedroom with a bed, TV and wardrobe, you can choose a variety of designs.

• Classic. Don't write off the classics that seem to have gone out of fashion - they are always relevant, especially in small spaces. Ivory, peach or beige beds can visually expand the space.
  

  

• Marine style. The bedroom design in white, blue and greenish tones perfectly refreshes and sets a cheerful mood from the very morning.
  

  

• Provence. Do you like light carelessness? Then Provence is definitely for you. It will bring the coziness of a country house to a small room.
  

  

• Minimalism. Where would we be without a strict and laconic style? The main advantage in a small room is the absence of details that only clutter the space.
  

  

• Art Deco. Take a look at the photos of the works of famous designers: here they use bright accents, unexpected shapes, and a slight touch of luxury.
  

  

Color palette of the design

Everyone probably knows that to visually increase the space in the bedroom design, you need to add light colors to the walls, ceiling and furniture. However, monochromatic rooms can only make the situation worse. Don't be afraid to use:

• INall shades of brown (sand, terracotta, mocha), which bring warmth and coziness to the bedroom interior, while making the atmosphere luxurious;
  

  

• WITHblue - you heard right, it is the blue color and all its shades (even the deepest ones), in small quantities even sapphire and ultramarine will give the room cosmic depth;
  

  

• DYellow in all its forms (corn, mustard) can add bright accents - it will be especially appropriate on the walls of a room with windows facing north.
  

  

Play of light

Even the smallest and darkest room can be instantly transformed with carefully considered lighting (primary and secondary).The main light is the central chandelier.

Additional light can be provided by a sconce with soft diffused light, a tall floor lamp, spotlights. An amazing design result can be created using zonal ceiling lighting.

Textile design is a stylish finishing touch to a room's design

One of the main additions to any interior is curtains. For small, cramped spaces, interior designers recommend choosing light, translucent tulle, as it makes the interior more airy and light. However, the bedroom is a place where personal space is extremely important, so it is quite acceptable to use a thick curtain.

Vertical blinds can be called a modern fashionable solution.
