In the premises of standard city apartments there is almost always a lack of space: there is not enough space in the bedroom to organize a wardrobe, and in the living room it is impossible to create a cozy reception area. This problem can be solved with the help of a popular design method of combining two rooms into a single zone. However, for a combined room to be not only spacious, but still comfortable and stylish, it is important to correctly implement the zoning of the living room and bedroom. On how to properly delineate the zones in the combined space of the bedroom with the living room, today will tell the "House of Dreams", and the presented photos of similar designs will help visually imagine how to translate all this into "life."
shelving. Advices for separating the bedroom and living room space.
. First of all, we need to visually distribute the space of the rooms by zones. Since the bedroom belongs to secluded rooms, it is best to place it in the most remote part of the room in such a way that it is not visible when the door is opened.
In addition to the sleeping place in this room, a wardrobe area is usually arranged. Depending on the size of the room, this area can be equipped with a wardrobe or built-in wardrobe niches.
In the initial stages of work it is important to distribute the space of the room so that the sleeping place is under natural light. Ideally, the area where the bed will be located should be organized near the window.
As for the living room area, it is usually located in the central part of the room. If the size of the living room, combined with the bedroom, allows you to organize two separate functional areas, then you can install a standard set of furniture - a sofa, armchairs, coffee table, TV, etc. However, when combining two different rooms it is very important not to load the space with excess furniture, tk.in this case, the feeling of spaciousness and freedom will be lost. If the bedroom-living room is not very large, the optimal solution will be the choice of built-in or transformable furniture.
In addition, you may need to organize a working area in the living room. To save space, it is better to allocate a nook for this area, in which you can install a multifunctional computer table.
When combining two different rooms designers recommend to abandon the traditional central lighting. The fact is that with a standard central chandelier, one of the zones will be less illuminated. In this method of planning, it is more appropriate to use built-in lamps, sconces and floor lamps. In addition, in this case you can independently control the level of illumination in each of the zones, a combination of different lighting will once again emphasize the boundaries of the premises.
When selecting furniture for a room with such a layout, it is recommended to abandon bulky massive objects in favor of laconic multifunctional products. No matter how spacious the room is, if it is divided into several functional areas, it is very difficult to avoid oversaturation.
Interesting zoning ideas
Competent zoning of the bedroom and living room space will make this room as comfortable and convenient as possible. Since we are faced with the task of combining two zones with different functions into a single space, it is important to reconstruct the optimal conditions for each part of the room when planning the interior.
Bedroom requires some privacy and intimacy, so you can separate it from the main part of the room not only visually, but also with the help of suitable materials.
Designers highlight several interesting ideas for zoning bedrooms and living rooms:
1. Sliding doors
One of the simplest and most convenient ways to divide the living room and bedroom is the use of sliding doors. Closing the doors, you seem to reproduce two separate rooms, and plowing them - create a single space. At the same time, to ensure that the combined bedroom and living room did not seem too isolated, it is better to give preference to doors that use translucent glass and partitions.
2. Decorative partitions and screens
Lightweight folding partitions allow you to decorate the whole sleeping area or just a berth. This detail fits perfectly into any design, but especially the partitions look harmonious in the interior in the loft style. If desired, you can pick up transparent or colored partitions, as well as partitions, painted for stained glass.
Screens also will be an excellent solution for creating a secluded zone. This decorative element is most often used in oriental designs, but due to its lightness and laconicity, the screens are quite suitable for other interior directions.
3. Curtains
Using curtains to separate zones can be associated with you with rooms in the hostel, where every centimeter of the room is expensive. However, do not jump to conclusions. Now you can choose curtains from a variety of materials: from the finest chiffon to the heavy and rich tapestry, which will emphasize any interior style. Curtains as a way of zoning a bedroom and a living room are good in that, if necessary, they can easily be pushed or even removed, eliminating the conditional border.
4. Podium
If privacy is not a primary concern in the zoning of the room, you can use a podium, a combination of different materials and colors.
5. Furniture
Furniture items used indoors can also become a kind of border. Having installed a sofa, shelving or long chest of drawers on the border of two zones, you visually divide the space into two separate parts.
Zoning a living room and a bedroom is a complex, but very fascinating process. Depending on the interior of the room and your preferences, you can use for this purpose any decorative elements. Just do not forget that for a comfortable stay, a sleeper is still recommended to at least slightly separate from the rest of the room.
