Design and interior of a studio apartment of 26 square meters. m
Relatively recently, studio apartments appeared in our country in which there are no standard partitions. Such living spaces quickly gained popularity and began to be in great demand. They can be both small and spacious. Even the smallest studio apartment can be made stylish and functional, if you choose the right materials and furniture.
Special features
A small studio of 26 square meters. m can be made very comfortable and hospitable, if we turn to the beautiful and high-quality materials of decoration, as well as harmonious interior
This apartment can be the perfect solution for a small family consisting of two people. If more people live in an apartment, then it is necessary to do the zoning of the available space, if it is not possible to purchase other housing.
As a rule, in modern studio apartments there are only two main rooms: the free space and the area allocated for the bathroom.
It is worth noting that one continuous room has several functions at once. She plays the role of the kitchen, living room, bedroom and hallway, so filling a small studio of 26 square meters. m worth choosing thoughtfully.
Today, there are a large number of zoning options, one cannot do without such details in a small studio:
- You can divide the functional space with the help of a high wardrobe, bar, screen, shelving, and so on.
- In a small studio glass partitions look great. They fit perfectly in many styles and will not take up much space.
- It became fashionable division of the apartment into zones with the help of finishing materials. For example, in the living room you can lay a cream laminate, and in the kitchen - monochrome tiles. So you divide the zones with different floor coverings. This can be addressed in relation to wall coverings or ceiling finishes.
For a small studio, light materials and interior elements are best suited.Too dark options can visually reduce the already modest area.
Too large details will also look inharmoniously in such an apartment. For example, a large dark wardrobe will not only take a lot of free space, but will also weight the interior.
We develop a design project
Before developing a design project for a studio, it is necessary to depict the future interior on a piece of paper. It is necessary to think through every detail.
Further it is necessary to make measurements of free space. This is necessary for the proper selection of furniture and the calculation of the amount of finishing materials.
Decide in advance on the future decoration of the apartment. The best option would be the design in warm and bright colors.
It is necessary to go for materials only after a full calculation of their required quantity, so as not to overpay for the excess.
If you want to make redevelopment and combine living space with a balcony room, then you need to take care of this before starting repair work and coordinate your actions with the relevant authorities.
Consider in detail a few specific examples of design projects of studio apartments with an area of 26 square meters.
On the left side of the entrance door, you can install a kitchen set and separate it from the living room area using a glass partition. Behind the dividing detail, a sofa will find its place by the left wall, opposite which you can put a TV. A sleeping area should be placed at the right wall from the entrance, separating it with the help of a plasterboard wall from floor to ceiling.
In such an improvised divider, you can equip a small bookcase or just make several shelves for storing various items.
The bathroom is located on the side of the sleeping area.
This small apartment can be decorated in white, gray and coffee colors, complemented by bright details. For example, it can be a saturated lower part of a glass partition.
If the studio apartment is equipped with a balcony, then on its territory you can place a kitchen set or a bar counter with a refrigerator, combining the balcony and living space.
Outside the balcony you can put a small round dining chair with chairs and a couple of bedside tables.
Behind this area should be located the bedroom and living room, which will immediately follow the entrance door and corridor.
We arrange the furniture
In the studio apartment there should not be too many large pieces of furniture. Such things can take up extra space, interfering with the passage and making the general ensemble ugly.
The size of the furniture must be calculated as accurately as possible.
Sofas and chairs belonging to the living area should be placed immediately behind the kitchen unit. These spaces can be divided by a glass partition or a bar counter.
If you decide to put upholstered furniture near the sleeping area with a double bed, then you can separate the living room with a screen or high shelving system.
A working area with a computer desk and a chair can be equipped near the living room or opposite the double bed.
Many apartment owners are turning to a more original solution and the desktop is made an extension of the kitchen unit. So much space is saved, which already lacks in 26 square meters. m
If the apartment has a balcony, then one of the zones can be equipped on its territory. For example, there you can put a kitchen set or equip a study with a small bookcase.
In a small bathroom it is better to install a shower cabin. It can be rectangular or angular. The second option saves more free space for installing a toilet bowl and a sink with a wall mirror.
If the area allows, then you can put a regular bathroom and in front of it (or on the sides) to put all the other elements of the bathroom.
Color solutions
The best option for a studio apartment of a small area are bright materials of decoration and furniture in a similar design.
Particularly attractive and harmonious in such a home will look white, beige, dull yellow, cream, light caramel and light brown shades. Such colors in tandem with a properly selected lighting can visually increase the available space.
The presence of bright and contrasting details will not be superfluous. It can be decorative elements, dark inserts on the furniture and kitchen set, contrasting backs of chairs, bright tabletops and so on. The main thing is not to overload the available space with such details.
Interior ideas
Let us consider in detail several options for the harmonious design of studio apartments.
Divide the room visually into two squares, starting from the corridor and ending with a window on the opposite wall from the entrance.In the left square, arrange kitchen set with all appliances and a small dining table. Opposite this zone (in the right square), you should put a sofa with a coffee table, and opposite it, equip a sleeping area, separated from the rest of the space by a rack cabinet.
The bathroom should be arranged on the right side of the entrance door.
For such an apartment you can pick up a bright laminate, and finish the walls with white plaster. Against such a background, furniture that combines soft brown and green colors will look harmonious.
If the entrance door is located opposite the window, the bathroom and living room can be equipped immediately after the entrance. A kitchen table with chairs will be found right next to the window, behind which (near the wall) you can place a set.
The sleeping area should be separated from the rest of the space using a budget plasterboard wall with installed doors.
Pick up finishing materials and pieces of furniture in snow-white tones. Dilute such a palette should be a blue sofa, multi-colored paintings on the walls and carpets of colored threads.
The space opposite the entrance door can be taken under the living area with sofas and armchairs, and behind them (on the right side of the entrance) you can equip a kitchen with an L-shaped suite and a folding table.
To visually expand the space on the wall above the sofa should hang a long tinted mirror.
The bathroom should be placed on the left side of the living area and separated by a blind door.
Unallocated space will remain on the right side of the soft corner. This zone can be enclosed by a screen behind which a tall and light wardrobe and a double bed in front will find their place.
