Examples of room layout 12 sq. M. Design of a small room (12 m2) with a sofa. Choice of furniture, colors

Living room in 12 sq. meters is very small. And this is not the only problem that owners of small apartments face. In the house of Khrushchev's development, there may be a kitchen of 5 meters - which means that you will have to combine the living room with the dining room. If a family with a child lives in a kopeck piece, parents have to use the living room also as a bedroom. How can you make a cozy place to relax in cramped conditions in the living room? Consider options for planning, furnishings and design.

You can expand your living space in many ways:

• increase the room physically - combine it with adjacent rooms: balcony, kitchen, corridor, hallway;
• rational use of the area due to the successful arrangement of furniture, the use of compact structures, transformers;
• increase the size visually due to the correctly selected colors and decor.

Possibilities of redevelopment

Demolish the main walls without the permission of the superintendent construction organization it is forbidden. It is difficult to get permission because the removal of the fundamental partition wall affects the strength of the house as a whole. But many interior walls are made of drywall, they can be removed painlessly.

If the living room is also a bedroom, it is hardly correct to demolish the partition between it and the hallway. But in general, by combining a common room with other rooms, its size can increase from 12 meters to 20, and this is already a lot.

Important! It is permissible to combine a living room with a balcony if it is glazed and insulated.

You will need full-fledged warm glazing - plastic or wooden frames, double glazing. Or a warm aluminum profile with thermal inserts. For thermal insulation walls fit basalt wool or polystyrene foam. If a warm floor is planned in the apartment, it can be installed on the balcony too.

Most likely, it will not work to remove the section of the main wall between the room and the balcony. But this is not necessary. You can remove the glass part, and use the remaining wall under the countertop - at the same time it will zone the space.

Before demolishing the partition between the living room and the kitchen, take care of a high-quality hood, otherwise all the kitchen smells will be in the room. If a balcony door overlooks the kitchen, you can increase the size of the kitchen.

After the demolition of all possible partitions, you will get a large multifunctional room that needs to be zoned. This can be done using several tricks:

• install some piece of furniture at the border of the zones - for example, a bar counter between the room and the kitchen. It can also be used as a table at which two or three people can dine;
• do " hedge» - a wooden lattice with climbing plants;
• install an open rack, arrange souvenirs and indoor flowers on the shelves;
• use materials with different textures and / or different colors for decoration;
• raise one of the zones (for example, a hallway) with a low podium;
• use sliding partitions;
• install a drywall arch;
• install a ceiling cornice and hang curtains (filament ones look most spectacular);
• break the room visually with the help of a two-level plasterboard, stretch, combined ceiling;
• zoning through lighting.

Usually, a combination of two or more techniques is used for zoning.

Parquet, laminate or carpet, which are usually laid in the living room, are not suitable for the hallway and kitchen, where they will quickly lose their appearance. Here it is better to lay linoleum or lay tiles. You can choose the material to match the floors in the room, but they will still differ in texture. At the junction of a wooden floor with other material, a special flat plinth is usually laid.

Walls in all these areas can be lined with the same material, but this is not very interesting. The simplest solution is painting or wallpaper in the same style, but differing in shade or ornament. You can clad one of the zones, one wall or a section of the wall with panels. kitchen apron usually done with tiles. As an option - tile the entire kitchen or its individual elements: window sill, countertop, window slopes.

Furniture and doors

If you do not have the desire or opportunity to engage in redevelopment, get ready to fight for centimeters. big bed with a canopy or a salon sofa you can put only if the room has a roomy enough niche. A niche is a real gift in a small living room: here you can put a wardrobe, sideboard, bookshelf or equip a computer corner here.

If you are not lucky with a niche, we choose compact, folding furniture, transformers:

• reclining bed for bedroom;
• folding dining table;
• transformer bed/desktop/wardrobe, etc.

Between the living room and the sleeping area, you can make a blank plasterboard partition. But it is better to use the place functionally - for example, install a rack with shelves.

Advice: If the room is elongated, and the bed is located by the window, it is undesirable to make the partition too high: then the living room cannot do without artificial lighting.

Another option is not to make a blank wall, install a ceiling cornice and hang thick curtains on it. Or make a sliding partition. You can make an office on the podium, and pull out the bed from under the podium. Then in the rest of the room there will be enough space for the living room.

If the room is square, the bedroom may not be separated. Make it so that in the daytime it does not exist. Use a sofa bed: during the day, this is a sofa in the living room, at night it unfolds, it turns out to be a sleeping place. Under the seats are storage boxes. Another option for a sofa in the living room is a corner sofa, good alternative chairs.

Advice: If you put cabinets, choose with compartment doors.

This also applies to other doors in the apartment: sliding structures do not require additional space to open, do not clutter up the space. The only difficulty is that you will need a section of a solid wall to move the canvas.

If it is not there, you can use a folding design, an accordion or a book. They do not require any additional space to open, nor a long wall. Between the living room and the bedroom (or nursery), it is advisable to put a European-made folding door: domestic ones have poor sound insulation.

Color scheme and lighting

When decorating small rooms, it is undesirable to use dark and bright colors- they tend to narrow the space. Excessive variegation is also not welcome. Light, pastel colors, discreet pattern.

To avoid monotony, you can add small contrasting inserts or use bright accessories. The main properties of the pattern: a horizontally oriented ornament expands the room visually, thanks to vertically elongated stripes, the ceiling seems higher.

Textiles are chosen in one color or in contrasting ones. There should not be many types of fabrics, try to combine elements stylistically: for example, if you used fabric curtains, the bedspread or sofa upholstery can be made from the same material.

A lot of textiles in a small living room is undesirable, it visually clutters up the room. Furniture: fronts in light wood look, upholstery in light leather or plain/discreet fabric.

If the windows face the sunny side, cool shades are chosen as the base ones: blue, turquoise, aquamarine. To the north - warm: sand, cream, peach. Light green is universal, suitable for any part of the world.

Mirrors, glass and glossy surfaces improve illumination and increase visual space. You can choose a glossy stretch ceiling or rack of mirror panels. Glass or mirror compartment doors, lacquered furniture facades are appropriate.

It is undesirable to hang a bulky chandelier in a small room. If the room is square, you can use a powerful central ceiling lamp. In an elongated living room, it will not be enough, the light will not reach into the corners. Additional appliances will be required: a floor lamp in the living room, a wall lamp in the bedroom. Or Spotlights. To create a romantic atmosphere in the living room, you can use different techniques:

• "starry sky" - lighting fixtures located behind the stretch ceiling;
• LEDs;
• decorative lamps, etc.

Style selection

The most logical choice for a small room is minimalism. But this is not the only option:

It is possible to design in classical style, English, Art Deco, hi-tech. In any, with the possible exception of baroque: this style implies lush heavy draperies, massive furniture, and numerous expensive accessories. Such decor will completely "eat" the space.

If you think over the interior carefully, then even the design of a room of 12 sq.m. can be more advantageous and more aesthetic than a large room. Using the advice of experienced designers and people who have equipped small housing with their own hands, you can create an attractive and functional design even a very small space.

Yes, for some people, arranging a limited space can be an overwhelming task, because sometimes the only room in the apartment has such an area. Therefore, it is important with maximum benefit delimit all areas of the room, which we will deal with today.

Principles for arranging small rooms

Regardless of the type of room, if its area is about 12 square meters, you will need to adhere to certain principles in order to properly organize the space.

First, the selection of colors plays an important role. In this case, it will be necessary to exclude too dark or bright colors in the interior even at the stage of creating the project - they have the peculiarity of visually narrowing any room. For the design of a small room, it is recommended to use exclusively light, cold tones.

You should take care of the allocation of functional areas. To save extra space, you need to zone small room, separating places to work, relax, watch TV or sleep. It is recommended to use surfaces that reflect light - in this way, even a small room can be expanded for visual perception.

The installation of additional lighting fixtures. The main goal of organizing lighting in a very small room is to create uniform light.

Of course essential role plays right choice furniture. When choosing various pieces of furniture, it must be borne in mind that they should be as compact and functional as possible, possibly transformers.

Decorating a small space with color

The color scheme of a particular room will depend on its functional purpose. So, the right choice of colors will contribute to the creation of a cozy bedroom where residents can relax, or a kitchen in which it will be pleasant to cook and then eat.

It should be noted that the location of the window in the room affects the peculiarity of the perception of certain shades. Therefore, if it faces north, then you will have to install additional light sources and choose more warm shades. The southern windows allow the coldest tones - blue, blue, gray.

It is important to choose two or three primary colors that will dominate the room. After all, a plain interior may seem too boring, moreover, visually, it will only narrow the space.

The main tone (of a long wall, pieces of furniture) will create a general background. Another shade (short wall, carpet, curtains) may be slightly darker, it is used to give the room more depth. In addition, it will be possible to bright accents(pillows on the sofa, floor lamp shade, flower pots) with the help of a couple more colors, which can just be contrasting and bright.

Important point! When designing a small space, many designers prefer to use the classic white color - it visually expands the space, makes it weightless.

The right choice and placement of furniture in a limited space

In a small room, furniture options with various decorative elements should be abandoned, which will only take up extra space with minimal benefit. It is advisable to use all the free space, including at the top. That's why best solution will purchase all kinds of hanging shelves, cabinets. Another equally functional option is sliding furniture designs.

It is impossible to single out any universal way of arranging furniture in a small room, because each person will arrange things for personal use in accordance with their needs.

It is important to remember that for a small room it is recommended to purchase a minimum amount of furniture. Usually use the following methods of arranging these items in the room:

1. Symmetrical - all objects are placed in pairs in relation to the center.
2. Asymmetric - there is no placement algorithm, all objects are arranged in a chaotic manner.
3. In a circle - in this case, the furniture is placed, following in a circle from the center.

Zoning a small room

As we said above, the zoning method is used to separate the different parts of the room. With this solution, you can cope with the following tasks:

• allocate a zone for personal use - this can be a study or a playroom for a child;
• changing the purpose of the room at different times of the day, when during the day the room is used as a living room, and at night as a bedroom.

Most often used to divide space. various materials(facing) and light sources. In a 12-meter room, it is undesirable to install plasterboard partitions, high screens, arches - in a limited space, they will only clutter up the room.

Small room lighting

Having a small room at your disposal, you can adjust its size for visual perception precisely thanks to various light sources. In this case, it is not recommended to mount one large chandelier in the middle of the room; the best option would be to install a large number of lamps in different areas of the room. Particularly important parts can be illuminated with portable floor lamps.

In order to create the most comfortable lighting, you must use the following rules:

1. Choose only lamps with diffused light. In case these are chandeliers, it is better to buy models in which the lamps are directed upwards.
2. Use glossy surfaces. For example, you can consider various options for glossy stretch ceilings, special coatings, high mirrors, glass elements. So, in small rooms it is recommended to install glass tables, cabinets, because such surfaces contribute to the reflection of sunlight and artificial light, thereby expanding the space.

You can also use various decorative options lighting. So, small LED lamps are often built into drywall surfaces.

Arrangement of premises for various purposes

Further advice on arranging a small room will depend on its direct purpose - it is these factors that affect the features of the arrangement of a particular room.

For all family members

In some cases, even such a small space has to be divided among all family members. In this case, you will have to use the zoning method. It turns out that the room will be both a living room, a bedroom for the child and parents, as well as a place for pleasant gatherings.

In this case, the primary task is the placement of beds. Of course, a small child can sleep with his parents for a certain period of time, but soon he will need a separate bed.

It is worth noting that, depending on the location of the window in the room, a baby bed can be placed not only opposite the parent's bed, but also in one line.

The crib can be placed close to the parent's bed or sofa. So in the side part there will be free space, which is useful for organizing the working area.

In the case of decorating a room "for everyone", it is desirable to exclude the use of too bright, active colors. Large cabinets, heavy curtains made of durable textiles will also be superfluous here.

When designing a room for a girl, you must adhere to the following rules:

1. Style. Here, only personal preferences should be taken into account, but in the case of a small room, a high-tech or loft interior will look most harmonious.
2. Color. Here, the choice should be stopped at soft pink, yellowish tones or mint, which has been fashionable for many years in a row (shade "Tiffany"). As additions, you can arrange brighter color accents. In this case, it is not recommended to use too saturated, dark colors as the basis.
3. Light. The installation of lighting fixtures should be given Special attention, because in the room almost every girl has a table with cosmetics. In addition, you can hang a dressing room mirror with several LED lamps on the wall.
4. Decorative elements. Since this is a girl's room, you can diversify the interior with some decorations. It can be miniature vases for flowers, souvenirs. At the same time, one should not forget that in a limited space there should not be many such objects.

Usually a girl's room consists of several main areas, which include a bedroom, a wardrobe, a place to study, a dressing table.

For a guy

In the case of designing a small space for a guy, it is important to fill it with simple, but at the same time functional elements. After all, young men rarely prefer the presence of a large number of decorations. A young man's room usually consists of the following areas: a place to store clothes, a study table, bed, mini-living room.

That is why the most optimal solution there will be a purchase of a folding sofa, which will become a comfortable sleeping place at night, and during the day it can be used to receive guests.

In the room of a young guy, there must be a table and an armchair. It is not necessary that this table be too large, but at the same time it is necessary to place a computer, stationery and possibly some other personal belongings of the young man on it.

In this case, it will not be superfluous to look at different options transformers. It can be a table-bed or a table-sofa.

In the case of arranging a room for a young person, it is necessary to pay attention to such points:

1. Do not choose too bright colors.
2. The best solution would be to create a concise interior. In this case, the same hi-tech or loft would be an ideal option. Almost any guy will probably not like the elements of classics or Provence.
3. It is necessary to avoid the presence in the room of objects that do not perform any important task (large flowers, extra cabinets, chairs).
4. It is recommended to choose the simplest finish that does not require any special care.
5. The amount of textiles should be limited. This means that in the guy's room there should not be multi-layered curtains, furniture covers and the like.

Of course, when decorating a room for a young man, it is necessary to take into account not only the above recommendations, but also his preferences. So, some guys love extremely dark tones, which are rarely used in small rooms.

Living room decoration

Making such small space greatly simplified if it is planned to be used exclusively for the living room without other functional purposes.

It is important to highlight several interior items that should be excluded when organizing a space of this type:

• too bulky walls, decorative bedside tables, voluminous chandeliers;
• a large number of different decorations, in particular patterns on the wall;
• podiums in several levels, volumetric plasterboard structures;
• a large number of souvenirs, books;
• heavy curtains and other textiles.

You need to use the most simple pieces of furniture that do not overload the space. Some can be purchased at popular online stores or large furniture centers, some you can make yourself, starting from their purpose.

Summing up

The practice of many designers shows that even a room of 12 square meters can be used functionally. The most important thing is to observe some nuances when decorating a room for a specific purpose.

This article is about small square bedrooms. We took a 12 square meter room as a sample and created several sketch layouts. After all, the most important thing in design is proper design. Only by creating a good base - with the correct arrangement of furniture and the organization of several necessary areas (for sleeping and relaxing, storing things, working - if necessary), you can hope for a quality result in the end. By adding the right decor, you can easily turn a simply comfortable room into a cozy space where everything will be harmonious and harmonious. But now let's get down to the constructive.

A traditional bedroom should include:

1. Double bed. The width of the bed varies from 160 cm to 220 cm and even more. In the case of a small room, we recommend not to exceed the size of 180 cm for a mattress - this is more than enough for a comfortable sleep for two people, and precious centimeters in the room can be used to better advantage.
2. Wardrobe. Now more and more often there are dressing rooms in the layouts, but if there is none, the bedroom must have a place to store clothes, bed linen and other things.
3. Dresser. Very handy piece of furniture for storage small clothes and underwear.
4. Bedside cabinets. You can stay here overnight mobile phone and other gadgets, books, necessary cosmetics and more.
5. TV or monitor(optional).
6. Dressing table(optional) .

And now let's look at several ways to arrange basic furniture in a room of 12 square meters. We will take rooms of different proportions as a basis - this way it will be more convenient for you to adapt the sketches to your situation and generate new ideas regarding correct location items.

We will not describe each layout - the illustrations clearly demonstrate the designer's idea. But we will consider the pros and cons, and also point out those nuances that should be paid special attention to.

Layout No. 1

2

Advantages: almost all objects in the room are arranged symmetrically, and it always looks good.

Flaws: a relatively small wardrobe, a rather narrow passage between the bed and the TV wall; lack of space for a cabinet or chest of drawers under the TV.

What to look out for: The monitor must be very firmly attached to the wall; the corner of the cabinet closest to the entrance, in case of fear of bruises, can initially be smoothed out with shelves with a beveled corner or a slight rounding; the distance from the cabinet to the cabinet should allow you to freely open the sash and pass from the far corner of the cabinet itself.

Layout 2

1

Advantages: symmetry; Lots of drawers and cabinets for storage.

Flaws: enough complex structure in front of the bed from wardrobes - ideally, this space is not recommended to be loaded, but in this case this option is required, since there is simply no other place to store clothes in the room.

What to look out for: competently think over the design of furniture in front of the bed; take into account that the depth of wardrobes and TV cabinets can differ by 20 cm, which makes it possible to make the center of the composition lighter.

Layout 3

1

Advantages: a large wardrobe, which is favorably located as if in a niche; beautiful view from the entrance to the head of the bed; after placing the cabinet along one of the walls, the proportions of the room became more correct and closer to the square.

Flaws: the chest of drawers (and possibly the monitor above it) is not symmetrical with respect to the bed.

What to look out for: distance between bedside table and a wardrobe (it is better to make the doors sliding so that they do not require additional space when opened); cabinets and a bed should not be bought wide - the distances in the room are small, and the more modest the dimensions of the objects, the more spacious the room will look.

Layout 4

4

Advantages: symmetry; separate storage cabinets on each side; the space occupied by the cabinets has been successfully given over to wardrobes, and the shelf behind the headboard has taken over their function.

What to look out for: the wall in front of the bed should be decorated quite boldly. It can be dark saturated colors of paint, complex textures or massive decor - in this case, the goal is to balance the space; on the opposite side, it is better to leave the furniture light so that it does not look so bulky.

Layout 5

Advantages: the bed is located directly opposite the window, which looks very nice in the final version; Lots of space to store clothes.

Flaws: the space to the left of the bed is somewhat “squeezed” - there is not much space there, therefore, if possible, the cabinet should not be large and heavy.

What to look out for: if the windows are given such a place of honor here, you should definitely pay special attention to their design - pick up beautiful textiles and designer radiators; also take care of thick lined curtains if the bright light from the window disturbs you in the morning.

Of course, the layout of a 12-meter room is unlikely to be ideal. Here we are forced to fight for every centimeter, competently weigh and make decisions about what is still more significant and important, and what can be abandoned. We hope you can find the right solution for your bedroom, and our floor plans will help you with this. You just need to properly analyze your needs and preferences, and the right decision will be in your hands!

1. Bedroom in Khrushchev. If the house is not made of brick, then the bedroom will lack heat. Green spaces around such houses tend to close the windows of apartments, blocking the path of the sun's rays. Based on this, for Khrushchev it would be appropriate to use warm light colors of the walls, choosing the most functional and practical furniture for them.

1. Panel house. Compared to Khrushchev, there is not only more natural light, but also a higher ceiling. There is an additional temptation to use multi-level stretch ceilings. So why shouldn't he give in? This design will look advantageous with high ceilings, as well as open additional features for recessed lighting.

1. A private house. Owners of private houses have the greatest freedom of design choice. A significant difference between the bedroom can be not only the color, style, interior, but also the very shape of the room, made according to a special project. It is common to use the room as a bedroom-living room or even a bedroom-dining room.

Surface finishing

Finishing is a stage of repair that determines the design of any room. Depending on the chosen style, different materials and techniques can be used. Consider the finish of each surface separately.

Ceiling

Finishing the room starts from the ceiling. More recently, the ceiling of the bedroom was leveled and painted white. Such ceilings are familiar to us and easy to maintain. Finishing the ceiling, in this case, is easy with your own hands. But the design ideas for a bedroom of 12 square meters. meters can be drawn from many sources and you should not be limited to simple staining.

Painting requires a perfectly flat surface: if you are unsure of your abilities, it is better to invite a professional.

A modern solution would be to use a tension or suspended structure ceiling. Manufacturers offer the widest selection of colors for every taste. high ceilings allow the use of several of its levels, which will additionally play with the difference in colors and lighting.

As a ceiling finish, wallpapering, foam polystyrene boards, finishing plastic panels or sheets of drywall with finishing plaster.

Walls

In most apartments, the walls are covered with wallpaper. This is a good choice for a bedroom of 12 sq.m.: a wide range of various colors and textures will allow you to choose wallpaper in any style and create any desired effect. Preference should be given to a small pattern - it will visually “distance” the walls of the room and expand the space. Large details will reduce the already small room.

The current trend in the form of a wall without finishing with “bare” brick or concrete is not a very good solution for a bedroom. Such a detail, included in the interior of a 12-square-meter bedroom, does not fit too well with the warmth and comfort that should be inherent in this room. But even this design can be beaten.

But the accent wall at the head of the bed is a successful and very popular trend in modern design. It is not difficult to achieve such an effect. If the rest of the walls are painted in a solid color, then wallpaper with an original print in tone is suitable for an accent wall. Additionally, the use of surface relief will attract attention and highlight the wall. Wooden panels are perfect, especially for a private house.

Floor

Given the specifics of the room, almost any room will look good in the bedroom. flooring. The choice is limited only by the imagination of the tenant and the desired finishing budget. The only thing that is not used in the bedroom is tiles. Here he is absolutely useless.

The flooring of the bedroom can serve as:

• Parquet. It occupies an honorable first place in popularity due to its price, environmental friendliness, ease of maintenance and appearance.
• Cork coating. Coverage becomes more and more affordable. It combines all the advantages of parquet and carpet, has the properties of heat and sound insulation.
• Vinyl. Unpretentious and easy-care material.
• Laminate. Perfectly imitates expensive wood flooring, has all the properties necessary for a bedroom.

The flooring of the bedroom is often covered with carpet. It is worth considering this when choosing a finishing material. As for the coating pattern, it is best to beat a space of 12 square meters. meters can diagonal pattern.

Bedroom interior elements

Design of a small bedroom 12 square meters. meters should not be overloaded with details. Do not forget that its main function is a recreation area. Before considering the options for planning a bedroom, it is necessary to determine its main elements.

• Double bed. The main detail of the room, the central element around which the entire composition of the bedroom is built.
• Cupboard. Separate Walk-in closet- it is very comfortable. But not every housing has a place for it. In this case, it would be appropriate to place a wardrobe in the bedroom for storing clothes, linen, etc.

• Dresser. Thanks to this element, in the bedroom you can find a place not only for clothes, but also for a large number of small things. Including women's accessories.
• Bedside tables or coffee table. A very convenient item where gadgets and other small things are put at night.
• Dressing table. Can be combined with chest of drawers. It is desirable that the sleeping part of the room is not reflected in the mirror - this can cause discomfort.
• Television. Located opposite the bed.

Room layout

Depending on the number of desired elements of the room, the location of the door and windows, there are several basic layouts for a 12 sq. meters:

• At classic version layouts, the bed is in the center of the room. One of the side walls is empty, there is a window in it. Along the other is a closet, next to it is a doorway.
• When the door is in the wall opposite the bed, it is rational to use built-in furniture along the entire side wall. Minus - asymmetric arrangement of elements in the wall with a door.
• The symmetrical layout looks like this: on the sides of the bed, as the main part, there are small bedside tables, and on the opposite wall, a TV, on the sides of which there are storage places (wardrobes or chests of drawers).

• Minimalism is suitable for the option when the bedroom performs exclusively its main function. In the interior of the room there is only a bed with two bedside tables.
• If both the door and the window are on the same wall, then interesting solution put the bed in front of the window. Wouldn't it be great to look at the sky instead of a TV screen? Built-in furniture is placed on the side.

Bed selection

The main furniture in the bedroom will be a double bed. Width standard bed can be from 160 centimeters. With a bedroom area of ​​12 square meters, choosing a bed over 200 cm would be a mistake. In addition to well-chosen dimensions, they should match the style of the room and be comfortable.

Modern manufacturers offer a wide selection of beds. The design of a rectangular bedroom of 12 m2 will be qualitatively ennobled by the original headboard at its headboard.

The bed frame must be strong and durable. The best option will be wooden, forged and metal structure. As a filler, preference should be given to hypoallergenic materials.

An important part of the bed - drawer. This detail is not only comfortable spot storage, but is also of direct importance for the interior of the room, unloading it from unnecessary details. A drawer that is not adjacent to the floor can make the design lighter and more airy.

Lighting

Bedroom lighting depends on the height and type of ceilings. But, no matter what option is considered, there is no place in the bedroom for one light source. At a minimum, it should be a central lamp on the ceiling and a bedside lamp. It is convenient to place it on the bedside table, standing next to it.

If there is an armchair in the room, then it is good to place the light source near it: for comfortable reading of a book or magazine. In this capacity, a floor lamp or an ordinary lamp installed on the nearest wall can act.

It is convenient when it is possible to change the brightness of the main lighting. For this, there are special regulators. In the bedroom, such a function will be the place.

If the design of stretch ceilings is used, spotlights around the perimeter will visually expand the space. And if you build lamps into such a ceiling different colors, it will be possible to create a unique romantic atmosphere in the room.

Decor elements

The opinion that a small bedroom of 12 square meters. meters does not need additional decoration error. Properly selected details of it will be able to miraculously transform the interior, not only without “weighting” it, but also visually “unloading”.

It is worth starting the decor with the central subject - the bed. The bedspread must be selected based on the style of the room. You can complement the main motive, or vice versa - make it contrast due to a print or texture. Appropriate to use decorative pillows to decorate the bed.

Curtains are an equally important detail. Choosing beautiful curtains is an art. The ideal option would be window textiles made to order specifically for the design modern bedroom 12 sq. meters. Long heavy curtains should be used very carefully, due to the small area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. They are able to take in a large amount of natural light, making the room smaller.

The head of the bed is considered the accent wall of the bedroom. If it was not selected at the finishing stage, then it's time to do it now. You can emphasize the style of the room with paintings, unusual designs, installations or plaster decor items.

Eco-style notes will add freshness to the room as fresh flowers on or near the windowsill. This is especially true when choosing a brutal or strict bedroom design of 12 sq.m: greenery will help soften it a little, focus on the connection with nature.

Bedroom design with loggia or balcony

Bedroom design 12 square meters. m with a balcony is a good opportunity to expand the small space of the room. The downside is the cost of dismantling the wall. In addition, the demolition of the ceiling is a very dirty and dusty job. It needs to be carried out on early stages repair, before leveling surfaces.

The balcony can become a separate functional area of ​​the bedroom, in which it is convenient to equip, for example, a comfortable reading area, a wardrobe or a mini-office. Another option is to completely demolish the dividing wall and continue the area of ​​the bedroom.

For best effect, when combining a bedroom of 12 sq. meters with a balcony, leave a few centimeters around the perimeter of the former wall, creating the effect of an arch.

The loggia area should be made in the style of the main part of the room. It is also necessary to equip it with additional lighting, as the arch will become an obstacle to direct rays from the central lamp of the bedroom.

If you want to expand the space of the bedroom and keep a separate balcony with an office, then good option will glaze the ceiling between the rooms. This will additionally add natural daylight to the bedroom with a loggia.

The redevelopment of the room should take place in coordination with housing and communal services.
