Clear zoning of the apartment

In this case, it is most convenient to use furniture. With its help, you can equip areas for meeting guests, work, sleep. In this case, you can put in the apartment:

1. Shelves, but not screens, which take up a lot of space.
2. Secretaries, not desks.
3. Chests of drawers. Do not think that they are small: some of them can fit more clothes than a standard (average) wardrobe..

Important! Due to the correct layout, even a relatively small space can be visually enlarged.

Ideas for saving space within 40 sq. m

In a modern interior, you can safely abandon such remnants of the USSR as a wall, a sofa (if it is not a sleeping place), armchairs. The furniture that you can find now is very convenient and practical, and most importantly – compact. It is this one that should be chosen for arranging such a multifunctional area. Striking examples:

1. If the whole family gathers in front of the TV, sitting on the couch, there is no need for chairs..
2. You can seat guests directly on the floor with comfortable and soft pillows. They are compact and can be stowed away in a closet or on a balcony.
3. If you work with a laptop at the kitchen table, then it makes no sense to equip a separate workplace..

Transformers for a one-room apartment: sofa + bed

No, we do not recommend using a fold-out sofa instead of a bed, although this is also a good solution. It is better to put these two objects in an original way – with their backs to each other. In this case, it will be possible to create a more or less isolated area – a sleeping area and a place for leisure..

Choosing a color for the walls of the apartment

Even a one-room apartment wants to be filled with bright elements, and here you cannot overdo it, because this will lead to the fact that the room will visually shrink even more. But there is a way out – to make bright accents in small decorative elements, textiles or small-sized furniture..

A dining room in a one-room apartment is a reality

Often the space in the kitchen is so limited that one has to figure out where to place the family for eating. A quite convenient option is the organization of the dining area in the room. The table that should be placed there will be both dining and working at the same time. So you can avoid cluttering the apartment..

Optimal solution! Although the room is small, it is important to use a round table – it will look neater.

Functional space above the bed

There is always a free wall above the head of the bed, and it is rarely used for anything more than a painting, but in vain. This huge space can be adapted for shelves, although many are annoyed if something hangs over their heads. You can check your reaction, for example, by hanging up a small, light shelf to start. When you get used to it, you can mount something weighty, taking care of high-quality fasteners..

Zoning of a one-room apartment with an area of ​​40 sq. m

If at the very beginning the free, albeit small, space seems interesting and non-standard, then after some time it can cause discomfort. In such an apartment there is no place for solitude, this is especially true if a family lives in it with children or even with one child..

Of course, in such conditions, it will not work to divide into functional sections with real walls, but light partitions in the form of fabric or cabinets are quite suitable. Original solutions that can be applied in any style:

1. Lightweight plasterboard partition. Often it is not made solid, but such that it covers only 30-40% of the room. In this case, it will be possible to perform two tasks: to limit the space, but not to block the room.
2. Cupboard. This does not mean a classic cabinet, but something like open shelves, and it is optimal if they do not have a back wall, but only through shelves. In this case, books, small souvenirs, and other things can be placed on them. At the same time, the furniture will not seem bulky and heavy. Even clothes can be stored in such a cabinet, but for this, you should first purchase polymer boxes for rattan according to the size of the cell. This storage system looks stylish and original..
3. Podium. In addition to the fact that in this way you can perfectly zone the space, this is a functional solution. When it comes to dividing the space, the catwalk provides a fairly clear space for sleeping, and it is often used in combination with curtains that can be closed or opened while awake. As for the practical side, quite impressive shelves can be placed under the structure, which means that it will be possible to add another storage system that will not clutter up the only room..

Non-obvious areas for home storage systems

Even in a compact one-room apartment, you can find not always obvious places for shelves and dressers. Among them:

1. Walls above the sofa, table – here you can hang shelves, shelves. At the same time, it is important that they are comfortable and do not interfere with the normal movement around the apartment..
2. Corners – they perfectly accommodate corner shelves, which can be more than a practical solution.
3. Corridor – mezzanine shelves can be placed right under the ceiling. They should contain things that are rarely used or seasonal..

The choice of furniture for a small apartment (35, 36, 38 and 40 sq. M)

The first thing to consider: you won’t be able to put standard furniture in this multifunctional room; most likely, you will have to order it individually. But there are several universal options that are optimally suited for odnushki.

Modular furniture

Sectional or modular furniture is like a designer set for adults. This is especially convenient if it is made to order, that is, to the size of the room. Modular systems are convenient because they can be placed anywhere and combined as it is convenient, even though the entire free wall can be filled with them.

Important! The convenience of such headsets lies in the fact that the style is the same for all elements of the collection – from wall cabinets to a computer desk. This solution simplifies the process of organizing space..

Even in such a limited space, you want to have free space, but despite the fact that many objects need to be placed in the room, it is rather difficult to implement, but real.
