Living room and bedroom in one room

The problem of comfortable own housing has always come to the fore, especially in young families. Often buying even a one-roomed separate apartment is considered a great happiness, that's why new settlers have questions about how the living room and bedroom can be accommodated in one room. Actual this problem becomes and in the event that, even having two rooms in an apartment, caring parents arrange in one of them a nursery, having decided to divide the remained in their order a drawing room into two zones.

If you want and the correct calculation, in principle, any room can be arranged in such a way that it has a place for a night rest zone and reception of guests. Much in this distribution of space depends on the layout of the apartment and the location of windows, as well as on the owner's desire to engage in a hard and dreary business of updating technical documents for housing. This operation will have to be done in the event that it will be decided to install a capital partition in the room.

Registration of documents for the redevelopment of the room

The installation of the main partition in the room is already considered a fact of redevelopment, which should be reflected in the passport for living space. Therefore, before proceeding to work, it is recommended to perform a number of activities that will help to avoid troubles in the future. Such actions include the development of the project, its harmonization and approval of certain types of work.

Permission will need to be obtained for the following processes related to redevelopment:

• Combining a balcony or a loggia with a room is often done, wanting to increase the living space, planning further separation of one roomon two.
• Transfer or enlargement of doorways arranged in the main walls of the supporting structure.
• Any work related to changing the capital walls.
• The increase in the living room due to the corridor, even if non-capital walls are being demolished.
• Installing the bulkhead in the room.

The legislation does not specify the list of works carried out during the redevelopment, not related to the change of load-bearing structures, but in any case, when undertaking large alterations, it is necessary to pass the process of coordination.

For this purpose a package of documents is collected, which includes the following papers:

• Application of the owner to carry out the redevelopment.
• Prepared sketch or plan-drawing room with redevelopment - in duplicate.
• A copy of the passport of the homeowner.
• A copy of the certificate of ownership - this document must be notarized.
• A copy of the apartment's technical passport and its original.
• The consent of all co-owners of housing( if any) for the planned alteration.
• Certificate form number 3 - on the number and personal data of people registered on the living area.
• If alterations are made in a communal apartment, then consent of neighbors, certified by a notary, will be required.
• If the house is considered a cultural heritage monument, it will be necessary to obtain permission from an architectural organization that preserves and restores objects of this value.

With these documents it is necessary to go to the BTI district. Further, the representative of this organization should make measurements and assess the possibility of carrying out the work, reflecting them in the completed inspection report. Then, the commission should consider the commission, which will issue permission to carry out the redevelopment or will issue a motivated refusal.

After completion of construction work, all the changes that have been made will need to be reflected in the documents for the apartment. To do this, the technician from the Technical Inventory Bureau is again invited to make measurements and new documents with a modified apartment plan. After this, it is recommended, immediately after their receipt, to legalize them in the Unified State Register and receive a new certificate of ownership.

All these actions need to be done if a capital partition of brick, gypsum boards or other material is installed that can increase the load on the supporting structures or weaken them. When installing a drywall partition, it is also recommended that you seek advice from the BTI to avoid unpleasant consequences in the form of fines and demolition requirements for such an unauthorized structure.

Documentary accompaniment of housing redevelopment is a responsible task!

The Code on Administrative Offenses provides for penalties for owners of housing who have arbitrarily performed those or other alterations in the apartment without having coordinated them with the relevant authorities. How correctly to proceed in case of need carrying out re-planning of apartment - read in the separate publication of our portal.

Ways to divide a room into two zones - a bedroom and a living room

So, there are several ways to divide one room into two zones. Choose the one that, in the first place, is suitable for financial expenses and for planning. Much depends also on the number and location of windows in the room and the availability of various niches, which can also be used to expand the area and distribution of space.

You can divide a room into zones in the following ways:

• Construction of a capital partition, when obtaining permission to carry out similar works.
• Installation of light gypsum plasterboard, with the approval of its installation in the BTI.
• Using a loggia or balcony to expand the area and device in this area of ​​one of the zones. This process also requires agreement with the monitoring organizations, since a part of the bearing wall will be affected.
• Installation of a sliding system of light wall-partitions.
• By partitioning the room using high furniture( cabinets).
• Separation of the room using curtains.
• Installation of a built-in transformer bed, which for the daytime disguises itself under one of the cabinets or is retracted to a niche specially prepared for it.
• By distributing zones using a podium installation, where the bed is pushed to the daytime.
• Tier division of the room - of course, with enough high ceilings.

All listed options will be discussed in detail in the article, identifying the merits and demerits of each of them and providing clear examples.

Overhead partition

In order to install a solid wall-partition, in addition to work permits, other favorable conditions are necessary - this is a rather large area of ​​the room and, preferably, the presence of two or more windows.

overlap. Capital partitions are usually installed in apartments located on the ground floors, without damage to the whole building. For their erection, gypsum boards, bricks or blocks of foam concrete are used, which are installed on the ground floor, which is freed from the decorative covering, that is, on a clean concrete surface. In this case, a special mounting glue or sand-cement mortar is used.

In addition, the partition is fixed to the main walls of the building with the help of metal corners, reinforcement pieces or hangers that are embedded between the elements of the masonry.

If it is possible to install a door in the partition, then as a result you can get two, even small in area, but full-soundproof rooms that are designed as a living room and bedroom.

door The door in the partition can be installed in a traditional way, that is, swinging, or sliding, which will also help to save space, since a certain area will not be needed for the trajectory of its wing movement.

Sliding doors - it's very convenient!

Installation of sliding doors solves at once a lot of problems, especially in small areas. How are the doors made and how to install them on your own - in a separate portal article.

You can safely say that this variant of the division of the room has no drawbacks, except for one - it is necessary to run a lot to get permission to install the partition.

Partition of plasterboard

Drywall is extremely popular as a material, perfectly suited for all kinds of interior works, including - for creating different types of partitions. From it you can install a full wall, which will cover all the necessary space, or partition, covering part of the width or length of the room, thereby dividing it into separate zones.

became very popular. This material allows to create designs of various shapes, with arches and shelves, or a solid surface with a built-in door. The wall of gypsum board, if desired, can be soundproofed by installing between its sheets a porous noise-absorbing material that will make the separated room quieter and quieter.

Partition of plasterboard - a feasible task for any owner!

Working with plasterboard is not so complicated and quite intuitive. The main thing is accuracy, exact calculation and adherence to technology requirements. As independently erect a partition of drywall - with details described in a separate publication of our portal.

The advantages of this method of dividing a room into zones are that the plasterboard structure can be combined with other materials, for example with glass or plastic, and its thickness opens the possibility of tapping into it original lighting fixtures or arranging additional shelves.

In addition, all materials used for such partitions have a relatively low weight, which allows you to install the structure on any floor, since it does not weight the bearing interstorey floors.

A continuous gypsum board wall is usually mounted if two windows or more are installed in the room so that each room has natural lighting. If the room is divided into a standard layout and one window, it makes sense to install a sliding transparent door in combination with a gypsum cardboard wall, or to cover this part of the space with this lightweight construction.

The configuration of such partitions is so diverse that it is quite possible to choose a suitable one for a particular room. And if you want, you can come up with its own form, as the drywall makes it possible to make from it any curly elements.

If necessary, hide only the sleeping place and create a secluded corner, the gypsum board construction comes to the rescue again. It does not take a large area and does not make heavier the appearance of the interior. It is often enough plasterboard partitions to be erected in the form of a furniture wall with a space provided for in it to install a television set, decorative elements, books and other items.

Convenience of such designs consists also in that their design can be podgodat under any style decision of an interior. Sometimes the partitioning structure is combined with the podium, which plays the role of the bed itself. Especially this option is optimal for young families who did not have time to acquire all the necessary furniture.

Therefore, for the owners of apartments, which require redevelopment, drywall will become a "find" that allows solving a large number of problems. Moreover, the material itself, and all the components that are necessary for the design, are quite affordable.

Using the balcony to separate the zones

If you purchased an apartment with a loggia or a reliable balcony, then divide the room into a living room and bedroom area will be much easier.

The first version of

Loggia, which has a large enough area, such that it is possible to install a bed on it, can become an excellent bedroom. Of course, the premise before the finish needs to be well insulated, the number of windows reduced, electric heating can be organized - it could be energy-saving infrared film, cable floor heating or convectors. After that, decorative finishing is carried out - and the bedroom is ready for operation.

Insulated loggia - this is an additional useful area!

It is unreasonable to ignore the possibility of expanding the useful area of ​​your apartment due to the existing spacious loggia. How to conduct warming the loggia with your own hands by all rules - read the special portal publication.

The second version of

If the layout of the apartment allows, then in life can be embodied the option presented in the photo. To make a bedroom on a loggia in a similar way, it is necessary that the room has an additional window. Work begins with the fact that the wall that fences the loggia from the room is carefully dismantled, and then another is installed, sliding it to the depth of the main room so that in the side part it can be made a doorway. At the same time, the main room will be less than a little bit smaller, but the area of ​​the bedroom-loggia will expand considerably, so that you can easily install a double bed in it.

If the layout of the apartment for this option is suitable, you will only need to get permission to combine the loggia with the room.

The third variant of

The third option for using a loggia area for zoning can be to completely integrate it with a room, which will increase the area of ​​the latter. After this, the room is divided into two zones or separate rooms. The room can be separated by a solid partition if there is another window in the room, except for the loggia, on the other wall.

If the natural light is only from the side of the loggia, then the space can be zoned by installing a bed on the loggia. The combination of two rooms, in this case, is necessary in order to be able to take out the heating batteries on the loggia, naturally, beforehand safely insulating it, and installing energy-saving windows. It should be noted that in order to re-install the heating radiators it is also necessary to obtain the appropriate permit.

To keep the bedroom in this room secluded, it is possible to use thick curtains or sliding unsealed doors.

The disadvantage of this option is that it will not be possible to completely soundproof the bedroom.

Sliding partition

It is not difficult to separate the bedroom area with a sliding partition. It only needs to be ordered from a company that produces similar accessories for interior decoration of rooms. Usually, when ordering a manufacturer, a catalog is provided, from which you can select the wings of the desired design.

Installing this separator for the room in the zone reserved for the living room will have to significantly increase the lighting, as even the transparent doors of the partition will block part of the daylight coming from the window.

The partition can have a design that covers the space from the ceiling to the floor, or be located below the ceiling surface for 200 ÷ 300 mm.

The manufacturer of sliding structures usually provides services for their installation, as well as service. Therefore, the task of the owner of an apartment will consist only in making an order and waiting for the master who will make the measurements, and after making the design - will install the guides and leaflets to the pre-selected location.

Zoning with high furniture

It is quite possible to divide a room into two zones, even doing any construction work, and installing a cabinet, part of the furniture wall or a rack as a partition. Anyway, without these pieces of furniture can not do any family, so it is worth using them with maximum benefit.

You can install them differently, depending on the layout of the room. If the width of the room from the entrance door to the wall allows you to place a bed and a partition in the form of a rack, as shown in the first photo, then most of the area for living room arrangement will be saved. This fenced-off area will become a cozy and closed corner for sleeping, and the books on the shelf shelves will always be at hand.

Another advantage of this option is that the partition does not overlap the daylight from the window, so you do not need to amplify the lighting.

Another variant of the partition is a cabinet, installed across the room, which forms a kind of wall. When installing the cabinet in this way, it must be securely fixed to the wall and floor, in order to avoid unpleasant and even dangerous situations.

It should be noted that if the cabinet will overlap the only window in the room, then the furniture partition is better to choose in light colors, as in the makeshift lounge it will be quite dark. In any case, additional lighting will have to be provided.

In this version, the interior is decorated in light colors, and as a partition there is a through rack, which almost does not overlap the streams of light, but separates the sleeping place from the common room. This zoning does not spoil the general appearance of the interior and looks quite stylish and modern.

The method of partitioning with furniture is accessible and simple in execution, but its main drawback is the total absence of any kind of sound insulation. What to do - in the case of one window in a room, one way or another, one has to choose between daylight and individual rooms, since the latter can only be equipped with a solid partition, which will make one of the rooms completely dark.

Zoning with curtains

Zoning rooms with curtains can be called the most affordable option, which can afford every family. Of course, curtains can not soundproof the areas of the room from each other, but they are able to close the sleeper from the bright light coming from the living room area.

There are many options to divide the areas by curtains, but the only thing that is recommended to observe when there is only one window in the room is to choose only light colors for the interior, including fabricsfor curtains.

In this case, the layout of the room made it possible to allocate a corner for the sleeping place, which is far from the window opening. Therefore, the curtains do not overlap the light entering the room, but it is still decided to use only light colors for the interior, which visually expand the space.

This interior is divided into two zones with the help of tightly assembled curtains. The bedroom is also located far from the window, so the curtain will not interfere with entering the living room area of ​​light. However, the designer thoughtfully chose for the improvised septum a yellow sunny color that visually does not narrow the space. The disadvantage in this version is the very low ceiling in the room.

Another option for dividing the room into zones is that it is perfect not only for zoning a bedroom and a living room, but also for decorating a sleeping and play area in the children's room. True, this zoning is acceptable only for large areas, as the bedroom takes up a lot of space. The plus of this design can be called double curtains, which work on day and night. So, in the daytime, so as not to block the light from the window opening, white transparent curtains are used, at night, dense blue curtains shift.

Two-level zoning

You can divide a room into two zones by using a sleeping place on the second tier, which will help to save the area of ​​the living room. The two-story structure can be made in different ways, for example, it can be a plank of thick boards which is fixed on massive racks or on strong cabinets or racks. Usually there is an opportunity to purchase ready-made designs or make an order for their manufacture.

. If you independently manufacture a two-tier structure with a bed above, you need to purchase quality materials and make exact calculations, since the design should be as reliable as possible.

It is necessary to provide all the nuances, making neat bows and a convenient staircase for lifting, and also a thick enough but comfortable mattress for rest.

Under the construction a separate zone is formed, where the working table and various cabinets can perfectly fit, including for clothes. If you install such a bed in a standard apartment room, then it is best to use for it the angle from one side of the entrance door to the room.

The flooring should be lowered from the standard ceiling, usually 2,700 mm high, approximately 700 to 750 mm, so that even a high person can walk under it. The size of this design should be, also approximately, 1500 × 2000 mm, the exact length of the bed is calculated taking into account the growth of the person who will sleep on it.

Such a place will become a favorite for all members of the family, as there you can relax not only at night, but also during the day, without disturbing anyone, listening to music, wearing headphones, or reading your favorite book.

For sale you can find the construction of hanging beds with a special mechanism, which during the day raises berths to the ceiling, and at night - drops them to the floor. This is an excellent option for small rooms in apartments with a standard layout.

Using such a design, you can save every centimeter of the area, since this bed can also accommodate a workplace or set up a chair. At night, the bed falls to the floor, so you need to provide a folding table, the back side of which, after addition and after lowering the mattress, will serve as a back. The control of raising and lowering the bed can be carried out using the remote control, which is very convenient and does not require much effort.

You can choose a model with its back side illumination, which will provide the necessary lighting space when the bed is raised to the ceiling. It should be noted that the only drawback of such a design is its rather high price, but it is still easier to purchase such a bed than to think about the untimely purchase of an apartment of a larger area at the moment.

Furniture-transformer

The so-called "furniture-transformer" can be a solution to the problem of splitting into the zones of a small room, which is removed for a day in a special niche or wardrobe and easily decomposed for the night.

This design can be built into the wall or securely fastened to it. When folding the bed has the appearance of a cabinet, sometimes with a mirror mounted in it or simply with an imitation of the doors.

cabinet. In some models, the entire bed structure for the day is retracted into a special niche located behind the sofa. At night, the bed and legs for it are pulled out and installed on the floor, and the sofa serves as a support for the middle part of the bed.

The mattress is fixed to the structure panel permanently and is removed together with it in the niche intended for it. In the evening, when preparing for bed, the bed easily gets out of the closet, and the living room very quickly turns into a bedroom.

Another design combines a whole complex, which will help to divide the room into zones. It includes a podium, a hollow inside, and having a height of approximately 500 × 600 mm. On the podium can be installed a sofa or cabinets, equipped with a workplace, or this area is used for other needs. For convenience, one or two steps are attached to the podium on the side, and a wide bed with a mattress laid on it is pushed into the space under it for a day. Its lateral part, visible in the retracted form, can imitate cabinets, with handles fixed on them, for which it will be convenient to push the bed before preparing for bed.

. In order for the bed to slide easily, clips are fixed to it. Depending on the size of the area and the layout of the room, the bed can be extended in width or length.

The only drawback of this design is that, on the area where the bed will be put forward, you can not install permanently heavy furniture items. In this area, you can place a coffee table or a pair of armchairs, which easily and quickly move aside before folding berths.

In summing up, it is necessary to say that when choosing the way of zoning of a premise on a drawing room and sleeping room, it is necessary to lean against the plan and useful area of ​​a room, using any opportunity to save each centimeter. To do this, you need to include fantasy, add to it your abilities and act by applying color solutions in the interior that visually expand the space.
