Reader Question
Good afternoon! We have a one-room apartment. A family of 3 people: mom, dad and a child - a one-year-old girl. I would like to understand how it is possible to combine in our room a nursery (so far it is only a bed), a living room (a sofa, a TV stand), a bedroom (a wardrobe, a bed 1.40 m wide, now it is in a niche) and a place for a computer and a laptop ? We would not want to remove the niche - the wall between the hallway and the room: we believe that it is not very hygienic to enter the room in street shoes right away.
The second question is related to the layout of the kitchen. Near the sink there is a ventilation box (0.5 x 1 m), which also adds to the hassle, since we do not know how to use the meter-long space remaining to the door. Sincerely, Svetlana Sukhikh.
Advice.
Designer's response
For advice, we turned to Svetlana Kudryavtseva. The designer supported the reader: in a one-room apartment, provided that three people live in it, it is extremely undesirable to combine premises.
The first option for arranging furniture allowed to place the maximum amount of furniture. We even managed to arrange a children's corner with its own closet. But there is little space left.
Rounded cabinets are no less convenient than traditional ones.

Kitchen layout. The easiest way to solve the issue is with a ventilation duct and part of the kitchen wall. The box is traditionally circumvented with a false furniture facade and a countertop that continues all the way to the door. It is better if the end cabinets have a bevel - this will save you and the child from unnecessary bruises.

In a one-room studio apartment, most often they create a cellular arrangement of objects: a sleeping and wardrobe-bed sector; recreation and leisure area with TV, coffee table and sofa. If the area of the apartment allows - a dining table for guests. Next, we will talk about dividing the room into a bedroom, wardrobe and organizing a bed - about a bed in a niche.
Separation of the recreation area from the reception area with glass doors in a one-room apartment
The diverse flight of human imagination and ideas, the accumulated experience of industrial furniture companies, lone furniture makers and just ordinary people who themselves did repairs in their apartment, as well as the Internet makes it possible to develop many different designs, interior designs, arrangements, combinations, bed applications .
The bed, visually separated by a wardrobe and contrasting curtains, from the guest area
The medical industry offers specialized orthopedic beds (mattresses).
Number of beds:
- single and double;
- by age:
- children, adults and even for the elderly;
- they also differ in design, shape, material, etc.
Since this review clarifies the arrangement of a bed in a niche for one-room apartments, we will consider them in more detail.
A personal cozy corner for your baby to sleep
Types of beds in a niche
A soft bed is complemented by linen drawers at the bottom of the niche
In addition to the listed types, a berth in a niche is divided into built-in and non-built-in. In turn, the first can be: folding and sliding. Non-embedded - by the type of transformers. Just like beds, the niches themselves differ in design and purpose. This can be a podium with a retractable bed built under it, shelves for clothes or bed linen located under the bed and behind a niche, respectively, or a more daring solution - a niche-wall, combined with a folding bed.
Pull-out bed built into a closet in a small room
Perhaps the device and in the second tier. If there is a separate place for a wardrobe and a shelf, then it will be interesting to complete a niche in a thematic style, using decorations, etc. (a variant of a children's bed).
A practical and bright solution - a two-level children's area in a recess in the wall
Features of different types
The features include the fact that the purpose or functionality of the beds built into the niche is different. That is, in the case of cabinets and shelves there will be more practicality, and in the case of the theme - decor, beauty, originality. These two conditions can be combined.
Stylish and comfortable design of a niche in a room with built-in furniture and a bed
For example, applicable to a baby bed, a kangaroo with locker bags, a lock when arranging a bunk bed in a niche: the gate of the lock is the bed; windows - cabinets with glass doors, castle towers - lamps.
Beautiful openings in the wall, made in the form of houses with triangular roofs for beds in the girls' room
In relation to adult beds, the folding version with a niche-wall is interesting for its originality. The bed is removed against the wall and frees up additional room space. At the bottom of such a bed, a decorative design is possible: a picture, a family photo gallery, an interior composition of unusual vases, jugs, artificial plants and flowers. The last option will require fixing the interior items, since this is the bottom of the bed, and at night you lay it out for sleep. And the rest of the fantasy is limitless!
Functional solution for a small apartment - folding bed
Try to fit a large mirror with or without a carved frame on the bottom of the bed, it all depends on the style of the room design (loft, modern classic, high-tech, etc.), or a folding desk. This will require technical tricks and some knowledge of physics and geometry from you. It will take a little more time for manufacturing and installation (subject to independent work), or a larger financial investment, but the return will be greater. High spirits and envious and inquisitive glances of the guests, from the beautiful execution of simple things.
Loft bed with sleeper upstairs and guest sofa downstairs
When limited in quadrature, combinations from a niche-podium are used or a sleeping place is transferred to the second tier. The option with a podium can be made in the form of a bed on top and drawers from the end of the podium. But it is more practical to place the bed at the end of the niche - a pull-out bed on wheels or rails with folding legs. Top - a podium with a workspace (desk), or a seating area with a sofa, coffee table and TV.
It is also possible to place a small bookcase or shelf behind the sofa. Such a living corner allows you to economically use the space of a one-room apartment.
Luxurious light wood niche with open shelves located on the side and top areas
When there is one permanent tenant in the apartment, then the sleeping place in the niche can be moved to the second tier. The lower space will be used as a desk, wardrobe sector, or reading place, with shelves for books and a comfortable rattan chair (how best to use the lower space depends on the size of the one-room apartment, the location in the niche and the preferences of the residents). Such an arrangement of a niche is suitable at the side wall of the room (without a window). It will be beautiful to equip such a relaxation area with a Japanese-style sliding door - “shoji”.
Bed on the second floor in a room with high ceilings and a full wardrobe on the 1st tier
Each technical and interior solution has its pros and cons. The first option with a niche-wall will have the advantage of originality, modern design, the ability to choose various bends, steps, semicircles on the walls, smooth or broken lines in the niche itself.
The niche can be supplemented with lighting fixtures
Playing with light will add intimacy to the atmosphere in the evenings. It can be pasted with photo wallpaper or a regular pattern. All kinds of accents in a niche-wall on vases, patterns, decor items, etc. The disadvantages include:
- the folding bed will have to be cleaned and laid out every day (at the same time, the bed linen will constantly go astray);
- the load on the folding mechanism will require special attention to be paid to it;
- when arranging a pattern or decor at the bottom of the bed, it will collect a lot of dust (drags frequent cleaning of the apartment);
- the installation of a canopy is difficult (for lovers of comfort and solitude).
The niche-podium option is more common, cheaper and not much inferior to its predecessor (niche-wall) in terms of interior design and functionality. Particular attention is paid to functionality, since this article considers the arrangement of a bed in a one-room apartment with the maximum benefit of the space used.
It would be ideal to place a bed in such a niche at the end of the room, near the wall with a window. When arranging a bed on top of the podium (or in the middle of the podium), it is convenient to place the bed with its side to the window, but not very close, since in cold weather cooling from the window is possible (and at the same time, excessive heat from the battery). Ideally, in this case, it would be to leave a margin for a bedside table or just a small passage. This option is good when living as one couple in an apartment, and a family with a child.
Functional design of a niche in the room: an exit bed, a small closet and a comfortable workplace
In addition to beauty, simplicity, convenience, the ability to arrange shelves, drawers, book and storage cabinets, cabinets (without losing "empty" space in the niches), there are also enough opportunities for a design solution and allocation of a bed from the main room space.
Decorating a studio apartment with built-in plywood furniture
The latter is especially popular, as it creates an original design of the room, gives a separate place for parents from the child, separates the sleeping space, in which a completely different design is possible (more calm and gentle tones), different from the living room and recreation area. A canopy or curtain is hung on the border of the podium.
A beautiful niche will turn out if you place elegant furniture decorated with a canopy in it.
Just like the bunk bed option, the shoji sliding wall creates a pleasant Japanese-style ambiance. The sliding wall will eliminate extraneous noise (if any), extraneous smells from the kitchen (especially if lovers of the afternoon siesta and reading books live in the apartment).
Japanese sliding door with modern materials
You can install shoji-style blinds on the window; this will reduce cold currents in winter, keep out headlights from passing cars, and during the day will create additional blackout in the room.
Japanese blinds are one of the most practical solutions combining sun protection with soundproofing.
When placing a retractable bed in a niche on wheels at the end of the podium, the possibility of zoning a bed disappears. This location is not suitable for lovers of solitude. On the podium above the bed, you can arrange a seating area with a TV, upholstered furniture and a bookcase. This sector can also be delimited by a sliding door. The main disadvantage here is dubious comfort, as the bed rolls out almost to the middle of the room.
The podium can be made in the bedroom or living room with a roll-out bed on wheels
Important! The wheels will leave marks on the floor, so you should put a carpet on the floor under them, or make another folding device. (A variant of rails with folding legs is possible. This will require a lot of effort during transformation).
Such a bed, in addition to a cozy corner with a location on the podium, can be equipped in a niche with an automatic self-retractable electric drive.
Material
This section is written for home craftsmen who want to make a niche on their own from the raw materials at hand or from friends in the country with the remnants of former luxury. To make a niche under the bed, you will need the following materials.
Wood boards for furniture production
In the manufacture of a wall-mounted decorative niche made of drywall, smooth lines and bends in the niche are achieved by bending sheets of drywall. With small radii, it is possible to bend “dry”, but it is better to pre-moisten the sheets and give them the necessary shape.
With the help of drywall, you can not only level the walls and ceiling, but also create complex structures like arches or niches
Patterns are made beforehand before the start of bending and installation of the bed in a niche, in order to prevent the already wet sheet from caking. Sheets are fixed on the pattern with clamps or devices available at hand until completely dry.
At large radii, a wetted drywall sheet is pricked with an awl or a special roller with needles from the inside of the circle. Notching from the back is also possible for extreme curves.
Curved plasterboard structures
Important! When choosing a radius, do not forget to take into account the thickness of the sheet (i.e., the final radius of the curved sheet is equal to the sum of the sheet thickness and the radius of the pattern).
Depending on the method of fastening - carpentry joints or metal-to-metal joints - you will need glue or hardware with corners. Painting supplies and paints, as well as wallpaper, adhesives.
Decor elements
In the studio apartment, the bedroom is located behind the partition
With the current diversity and relative cheapness of building materials, as well as advances and technologies in the field of woodworking, the paint and varnish industry, there is a great variety of layouts and interior design solutions for an apartment. The informativeness of our time allows us to learn innovations almost firsthand, to combine different styles.

The owner of a small "Khrushchev" needs to think through to the smallest detail what the design of each room will be after the repair, its area is limited compared to one-room apartments in new buildings. A niche in the room is a great opportunity to divide the room into zones in order to make housing comfortable with all modern amenities. Despite the fact that the area of \u200b\u200bspace is limited, it can accommodate everything you need, choosing the right style solution.
When it is impossible to make a design project on your own for any reason, you need to seek help from professional specialists.
Design of small housing
Designers say that a one-room apartment with a niche has its advantages, the main thing is to see them and use them correctly. You should not perceive it as an unnecessary hindrance to anyone, it is better to rationally use all the available advantages. In a niche, many owners arrange a home office, or place a bed.
Helpful advice! Choose a design for a niche, taking into account the fact that the structures will be stationary, such partitions are more difficult to dismantle compared to fabric curtains.
One of the most common options is housing with a niche for a bed, for this purpose the alcove was conceived by the architects during the design.
However, this solution can not always be called optimal: it is necessary to take into account the number of residents, the age of each of them and their favorite activities. In a room with a niche, you can make not only a bedroom, but also an office, a nursery and a dining room.
How to properly use niche space
The arrangement of the alcove depends on the purpose of the part of the apartment where it is located, therefore, you first have to decide what the niche will serve for. After that, you need to choose the appropriate option for decorative finishes, furniture and lighting fixtures.
Children's area
In the photo of an apartment with a niche, you can see options for arranging an alcove for a children's area. This is the best solution for any young family in which a child grows up, the presence of personal space for a baby is no less important than for adults.
What kind of furniture parents will put in a children's corner depends on the age characteristics and taste preferences of its little owner. "Bed-loft" - furniture where a sleeping place, a workplace and a place for storing things are organically combined.
To buy such a bed, it is important to take into account the feelings of the child himself, he will have to climb to the top shelf, and parents must be sure that the fear of heights is not a problem for the baby, and he will be able to climb or descend on his own.
Sleeping area for adults
Sleeping place for adults, which is fully consistent with the architect's idea. If you decide to make a bed here for yourself, then you are going to use the niche for its intended purpose. In a cozy corner you can put a wide double bed, on which you can put a comfortable mattress.
Now you don’t have to huddle on a narrow folding sofa, the night rest will be complete, and every morning you will meet with renewed vigor. If the design is equipped with drawers, then they can store bedding, personal items or books.
Helpful advice! Customize the wall space above the bed with a collage of family photos and children's drawings.
Study
Such an arrangement can be considered ideal if only one person lives in the apartment. The owner does not have to buy a double bed for himself, so he can arrange a niche to his taste, turning it into a full-fledged office or making it a corner for his favorite activities.
A computer desk with shelves and a wardrobe is placed in a niche; it is better to make all pieces of furniture to order so that the dimensions of the niche and the room are taken into account.
Helpful advice! Racks or shelves will help to mark a clear boundary between the workspace and the living space.
Sports corner
Take care of ventilation and place a wall bar with exercise equipment in this space to always be in good physical shape.
Wardrobe
This is the dream of any fashionista, which you can make a reality, if there is such a desire. Having made a decision, it remains to order furniture with the optimal filling option - with the required number of hangers, drawers and a mirror.
Helpful advice! To isolate the dressing room from the other part of the room, use sliding sliding doors or fabric partitions.
Kitchen-studio
Studio kitchen, standard kitchen or dining room. Construction organizations do not approve of the device in the alcove of the cooking zone, but, as for the dining room, this option is considered quite legal.
A compact-sized table with stools is placed in the corner, an alternative option is to put two soft sofas with a folding table model in the middle to accommodate a large company.
It is important to know! If the owner has placed a kitchen in a niche, his housing automatically becomes a studio apartment, special requirements are imposed on its decorative design, which it must fully comply with.
If you place a recreation area in a niche, it should be like a continuation of the main room. A large sofa can accommodate guests, and a comfortable armchair surrounded by bookshelves will provide comfortable leisure time for a person who is fond of reading.
Stylish design
The interior of apartments with a niche can be very diverse: consult a designer or look through a catalog with ready-made solutions. It is possible to choose an option to your liking, ranging from a neutral design to the allocation of an alcove into a separate zone. Listen to the recommendations of interior designers:
Wholeness. It is necessary that the niche be decorated in the same style as the room itself; design in a similar style direction is also allowed.
Color scoring involves the mandatory use of the primary color, you can experiment with contrasts. Consider how the windows are located in the apartment, if there is not enough light in the room, it is better not to choose dark shades.
Zoning is carried out with the help of light mobile partitions of light colors so as not to overload the space: after all, such elements take up little space. Sometimes shelves, racks, partitions made of glass or fabric are used.
Additional lighting is easy to make with the help of backlighting, install sconces, LED strips or spotlights.
Surfaces made of glass or with mirrors have the ability to expand the interior space, so glossy furniture will make a modest corner more spacious.
Try to meet all the above conditions, and you will see that the end result will not disappoint you. Make the interior space as open as possible, low furniture perfectly copes with this task.
A niche can be used as a living corner - put an aquarium with live fish there. The design of the recreation area can be combined at your discretion, let it be a place for a meal, during lunch there is an opportunity to watch the marine life.
Such contemplation has a beneficial effect on the human psyche, allowing him to fully relax and forget about problems and important matters for a while.
Photo design of an apartment with a niche
This situation is familiar to many: a one-room apartment, where it is necessary to place a kitchen, a living room and, of course, a bedroom. And the designer coped with this task: the interior of a one-room apartment with a niche was created taking into account zones of a certain orientation.
When decorating the apartment, natural materials were used: the laminate in the living room with a bright wooden expression echoes the panels and the facade of the kitchen. The walls, finished with decorative concrete-like plaster, resemble the interior of a one-room apartment with a niche, inherent in high-tech style or constructivism. This style is based on the interaction of room space with light and color.
Porcelain tile on the floor in the kitchen and hallway is in harmony with natural stone in a light gray hue.
The most affordable way to divide a room is to arrange furniture according to the purpose of the items, that is, by use groups. Therefore, the kitchen is separated from the living room by a bar counter and flooring. Laconic bar stools, designed in the same color scheme as the lamps, and a black screen break the monotony of light shades. Divides the room into parts and a niche, which gives the feeling of a specially allocated area: a bed is comfortably located in it. The gray-black porcelain stoneware finish in the bathroom does not stand out from the interior of a one-room apartment with a niche.
Lighting is an important element of zoning. For this, different forms are used: lamps - suspended above the bar counter, and built into the ceiling, small sconces on the wall near the bed, floor lamps with adjustable height, and hidden lighting. They allow you to save a small space of the room, at the same time, taking into account the placement of light and its role.
Decor elements organically support the style of the interior. Abstract paintings, white bed decoration and airy window decoration, a light gray rug on which stands a coffee table in a shade close to it - all this, together with the walls and ceiling, creates a feeling of cleanliness and space.
This apartment is small in size, but when you see it in the interior, you want to stay here to live, because the style and comfort of the home have found their application in it.
