City apartments rarely please us with a vast area, so a living room and a bedroom in the same room is a common solution. Our new article will allow you to correctly zone the available space and create a harmonious and functional interior that meets all your requirements.

Advantages and disadvantages of a single space

Let's start the conversation by discussing the main pros and cons of decorating a living room and a bedroom in the same room.

Pros:

• The room becomes more functional and practical;
• You get your own personal corner even in small apartment;
• The layout of the combined living room and bedroom can be much more interesting and modern.

Bedroom - living room in loft style

Minuses:

• The bedroom is not a personal intimate space;
• It is not possible to provide sufficient soundproofing for the living room and sleeping area.

Zoning methods

If the footage of the room is large, then the zoning of the room into the bedroom and living room will be simple and interesting. But in a small area it will be very difficult to place a decent double bed, a TV, a guest sofa and a wardrobe for storing things.

One of the solutions is a folding bed transformer

Not a single rest room, separate or combined with the hall, is complete without a place to sleep. It is better to place it at the opposite wall from the entrance, so that the makeshift bedroom does not become a passage room.

And now let's figure out how to zone a room into a bedroom and a living room using specific interiors as an example.

Plasterboard partition

How to combine a bedroom and a living room in one room and at the same time create a cozy intimate space? The easiest option is to install a physical drywall partition. A small room is unlikely to become suitable place for such experiments, but in a large bedroom-living room, the idea with partitions will be very useful.

On a note: The weight of drywall is so small that you do not have to run around and get permission to redevelop the apartment. In this case, in fact, you will receive two separate rooms.

In order not to isolate one part of the room from daylight, you can install a partition half the wall high.

Transparent partition

Very tempting, but a little more difficult decision. The living room, combined with the bedroom, and separated by a glass partition, will not be deprived natural light. And this is the main advantage of such a solution.

On the other hand, a glass partition, complemented by curtains, will be an excellent protection from prying eyes in the bedroom and create a private corner for you and your half.

Curtains

A room of 16 - 18 square meters, which should fit a bedroom and a living room, can be zoned using ordinary curtains, bamboo curtains or beaded curtains. The density of the material must be chosen depending on how clear the boundaries you want to designate.

Screen

There are a wide variety of screens and sliding panels on the market, with which you can easily answer the question - how to divide a room into a bedroom and a living room. good example such zoning in the photo below.

Frosted glass or plastic is a real find!

Furniture

Shelving, closet or small chest of drawers can perform several functions at the same time. The layout of the combined room will only benefit from the proper arrangement of furniture in order to zone the space into the living room and bedroom.

Floors or podium

How to make a bedroom and a living room out of one room and at the same time not lose a single space? The answer is simple: play with the floor material. In the area for sleeping and relaxing, lay a soft carpet, and in the guest room, put beautiful laminate or parquet. A different shade of paint on the walls will help enhance the zoning effect.

Well, if this is not enough, then the podium for the bed will come to the rescue.

Lighting

This is another way to unobtrusively zone a single space. The design of the room will benefit from chiseled lighting in the living room and bedroom. Soft sconces and floor lamps near the bed will create an intimate mood, and bright light in the hall will set you in a positive mood.

Sofa or bed?

The question that every owner of a combined living room and bedroom faces is: what to choose - a separate double bed and a sofa or a pull-out sofa bed?

Room interior with folding sofa is not much of a mystery. But how to place several dimensional pieces of furniture in one room at once?

If the room is 20 or more square meters, then we recommend that you opt for a separate bed. Laying out and assembling a sofa every day is not the most pleasant occupation, and sleeping on the very the best couch still not as comfortable as on a full double bed.

The interior of the living room combined with the bedroom does not have to be huge leather sofa and a couple of chairs. Think about how to organize places for guests or borrow ideas from the photo below.

A bedroom and a living room in one room is not a fantasy, but a reality. In the gallery you will find examples of photos good design interiors and you can bring them to life in your own apartment.

To increase the functionality of a room in an apartment with an insufficient amount of usable area, zoning is used. We will consider what methods of zoning are used in the bedroom and how to rationally use them.

The main reasons for zoning the bedroom

Room zoning is one of the essential methods in interior design. It implies the process of separating from the general atmosphere of the room, its individual parts or functional areas, which will help to effectively solve any problems. Zoning does a great job of dividing one room into several, such as a bedroom and living room. It is also possible to divide the room into several zones that differ in functional features: a place to sleep, a work area, a relaxation area.

Zoning is used in such cases:

• to divide the common space into zones that differ in functionality: visual division of the zone in which it is located computer desk from the bed or from the TV;
• in order to divide the room into two zones: common and individual or private, for example, separating a bed from a guest reception area;
• for a functional change in space depending on the time of day, for example, during the day the room serves as a dining room or living room, and in the evening it is used as a bedroom;
• to create optical illusions, and thereby increase the attractiveness of the interior, for example, visually reduce or increase the size of the room.

Let's get acquainted with universal ways, which help to zone any room:

1. Arched division is a classic option. Dividing the room with an arch allows you to increase the privacy of each of the zones. The arch should be made in the general style of the interior. The arch is an elegant design that does not take up much space, therefore it is used for zoning both large and small rooms. The combination of an arch with plasterboard constructions allows you to achieve an even better visual effect.

2. A larger solution for zoning a room is the construction of a decorative structure, which, unlike an arch, takes up little space on the floor. In this case, illuminated niches, glass or plasterboard shelves are used, it is possible to install an aquarium or a fireplace.

3. Zoning with a podium is not only beautiful, but also practical. After all, various things can easily fit in the podium space. In some cases, a small bed is stored in the podium. The height of the podium depends on the total height of the room and ranges from five centimeters to twenty or even thirty. It is possible to place a recreation area on the podium or working area, highlighting is used to create a clear separation boundary.

4. The use of a false partition is another zoning technique. This method is appropriate in studio apartments and helps to separate the bedroom from the kitchen or recreation area. A false partition creates the illusion of a lightweight wall that gives privacy to areas.

5. Usage sliding doors, which are installed in closets perfectly helps to zone the room. If there is a separation of a small section of the room in which unnecessary things are hidden, it is better to use blind-type doors. Otherwise, transparent or translucent doors are also suitable. This method perfectly helps to separate the dressing area in the bedroom.

6. More in a simple way zoning favors furniture. Properly organized space with the help of furniture will help divide the room into zones. Perpendicular installation of the sofa will separate the seating area from other areas. It is possible to use a tall cabinet as a partition. To divide the kitchen space, use the installation of a bar counter.

7. Zoning the bedroom with curtains - is another fairly simple and economical way. Curtains help not only hide the dressing area, but also help in highlighting a separate and cozy corner in the room.

Bedroom zoning photo:

If there is a division of the general space of the room into two zones opposite in terms of functional features, it is better not to use traditional overhead lighting at all. Since the location of the chandelier will be any in only one of the zones. For example, if you install a chandelier in the work area, and in the sleeping area someone wants to sleep at that time, then this will bring him inconvenience. Therefore, it is better to divide the room with lamps, sconces or floor lamps.

If the bedroom space is small, it is forbidden to use too bright wall or floor decoration. It is not recommended to paint the floor in different colors. Since a plain floor can visually enlarge the space. Avoid monochromatic contrasting patterns on the walls, it is better to choose a light monochromatic wall finish. Using a multi-level or stretch ceiling will increase the space.

IN small room it is possible to divide it into zones using the installation multi-level ceiling in one part of it, and the installation of the podium - in the other.

But before you start zoning, think carefully and weigh all the details down to the smallest detail. It is not recommended to divide the room into more than three zones, as it will turn out to be just a chaotic pile of objects that will make it tasteless and uncomfortable.

Living room bedroom zoning ideas

The most popular technique in dividing a bedroom is its zoning into a bedroom and a living room. This issue is especially relevant for owners of small apartments.

There are several ideas to help resolve this issue:

1. Using a closet as a room divider - A large closet will create the illusion of a wall while also serving as a great storage space.

2. The use of a canopy or curtains - will separate the sleeping place from the reception area and at the same time make the sleeping area a more intimate area.

3. The podium compartment will allow you to install a mattress on the podium and serve as a bed, and containers for storing things can be built into its lower part. Successful lighting will make the interior more spectacular.

4. The use of transformer furniture, which during the day is folded into a closet or on the same podium, and in the evening acts as a bed.

5. The most inexpensive way to separate the bedroom and living room is to use multi-colored wallpapers that visually indicate a place to sleep and relax.

6. A plasterboard structure with an aquarium built into it will perfectly divide the space of the room into a sleeping area and a living room.

7. Another zoning option is to arrange a bed on a low podium, only two or three steps, and separate it from the space of the room with a false partition.

8. Ceiling - also capable of dividing a room into several zones. Properly chosen lighting. The central lamp should be located above the living area, and additional lamps will perfectly embellish the atmosphere of the bedroom.

Zoning options for the bedroom and nursery

Most common cause, which requires zoning the room into a bedroom for adults and a children's room, is the lack of space in living conditions in a small apartment. Another factor in the zoning of the nursery and bedroom is the reluctance of parents to live separately from the child, especially if he is still very small.

Before developing a zoning plan, you need to take into account the interests of all family members so that each of them is comfortable living in this room.

The bedroom and nursery should have at least three zones: a bed for parents, a crib for a child and a place for games. When arranging common room you should proceed from the age of the child, it is better if the children's area is located away from the door. Thus, if the parents need to go somewhere, they will not disturb the child. Moreover, adults go to bed later and get up earlier.

One of the most popular ways of zoning a room is to use a multi-level ceiling or podium. If placed on the podium, a crib for the baby, the parents will constantly see her, and he will be under their supervision. But, this option is more suitable for infants and children under the age of six.

When arranging a room for adults and a child of school age, there is a greater need. When organizing a bedroom for parents, it is enough to create an individual sleeping place for them, which will be fenced off from the common space with a closet, false wall, sliding door or drywall partition. For a child, you will need to equip several corners: a recreation area, a work area and a place to sleep. A mandatory requirement for such zoning is good lighting in the working area for the child.

To make more rational use of the space of the room, install shelves and racks in the room to accommodate school supplies baby.

If the space of the room does not allow you to install a recreation and study area separately, buying an attic bed would be an excellent solution. On its top shelf, the child will sleep, and below it will fit a desktop and other accessories.

The separation of the parents' bedroom and the teenager's children's room has different rules. Since such children are increasingly in need of privacy and require personal space. Great solution will be the use of a plasterboard false wall, which will help create almost separate rooms for parents and a child. If there is no window in the room or there is not enough light, then it is better to use a frosted glass partition or glass blocks.

Another option for zoning the nursery and the parents' bedroom will be the installation of sliding doors that draw a clear boundary between these zones. By using mirrored doors you will increase the space of the room.

To give the room lightness and weightlessness, use tulle or curtains. This option perfectly divides the space in the open position, and if they are closed, the room becomes one.

If you wish not to overload the space, it is enough to use ordinary screens, which, firstly, will decorate the interior of the room, and secondly, they will perfectly delimit the bedroom areas for parents and for the child.

If the child is still small, and a clear distinction between these zones is not required, then use various wallpapers that easily and naturally divide the room. It is recommended to use lamps, carpets and other interior items that will help separate the nursery from the bedroom. For example, lay a soft rug in the children's area, and parquet or carpet is perfect for adults.

Bedroom design zoning: basic secrets

In the process of arranging a bedroom, the first criterion is its location. The bedroom should be far from the bathroom, kitchen and front door.

The main areas of the bedroom are the zone of sleep and rest. But the main one is the sleep zone. The area in which the bed is located should occupy at least half of the bedroom. It is better to place it in the central part of the room or at the entrance. If there are additional zones, their separation should take place using an invisible wall. This term refers to the division of space with furniture, wall decoration, lighting, etc.

The main principle of dividing the bedroom into zones is their locality. Each zone should have its own design and functional features.

Consider the main stages in the zoning of the bedroom:

1. The presence of the total area of ​​each of the zones. This rule involves the designation of each zone with a certain space, on which elements will be located that allow this zone to function.

2. Purpose and functions of each of the zones. To get the desired result, in the development of a bedroom zoning project, the functional features of each of the zones should be clearly defined. The main zone - sleep, should occupy half of the room, and the rest of the remaining space. The most popular options for dividing a bedroom is its zoning into a bedroom and an office, a bedroom and a children's room, a bedroom and a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen.

3. After the functions of each and zones are determined, a list of furniture that will be located in the room should be compiled. Then separate this furniture according to its functional purpose and place them in the appropriate areas.

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the methods of zoning the bedroom:

1. Single zoning involves interior design in a common style, as a single recreation area.

2. Parallel zoning is the location of the recreation area opposite the window, and near the window is workplace.

3. Zoning with a section - dividing a room into two equal parts, in accordance with the section of the corners. The zone located at the door is a recreation area, and the second acts as a workplace.

4. Zoning with a double section - is used if necessary to combine a recreation area with two additional zones. Corners help to divide the room into four zones. A bed is placed in the center of the room, and the side zones are arranged based on personal preferences.

5. In the island zoning, the recreation area occupies more than 70% of the total space, and the necessary additional zones are located near the walls.

The island zoning method will be an excellent option for combining a bedroom for parents and a nursery for an infant. In the part of the room where more light, it is recommended to install a children's bed, and on the other hand, an adult bed.

In addition to the standard division of the bedroom into a living room or a nursery, we will consider a few more options for zoning the bedroom.

Bedroom and boudoir - dividing the bedroom into a sleeping area and a cosmetics area is quite popular. An excellent option for separating the boudoir is to install a screen. The installation will perfectly help to combine and complement the boudoir and bedroom area. large mirror or lighting.

Bedroom and work area - it is better to separate them with furniture and contrasting walls. A mandatory rule for separating these zones is the location of the working area near the window.

To increase the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room using zoning, use light shades, minimum furniture. Zoning great option to create a cozy, spacious and comfortable bedroom. If you install a round or semicircular bed, you will get the effect of a spacious and airy room.

If there is a balcony, the main zone will be in the room, and place the additional one on the balcony, if it is insulated. Of course, if you plan to divide the bedroom into a children's and parent's room, then this option will not work. But, in the case of dividing the bedroom into an area for sleeping and for work or a boudoir, then a balcony is a great solution.

When dividing the bedroom into zones, do not forget about the preferences of each family member, as well as the fact that the room should be cozy, spacious and comfortable.

Not every family has the opportunity to live in apartments with a large area. But even in a small space, you can arrange cozy corner for yourself and guests. For example, it is often necessary to combine a living room and a bedroom in one room of 20 square meters. m, you can find many examples of photos of such premises. By choosing the right division of zones and competently designing the space, you can become the owner of a cozy nest in which it will be pleasant to be.

In our version, in the design of one room with an area of ​​​​19-20 square meters. m two zones will be combined - a living room and a bedroom. See photo examples below.

Before starting planning, it is necessary to designate an area for guests and for sleeping. A clear separation will help you in the future to have fun and comfortably receive guests, but at the same time fully relax.

With the introduction of new layouts in new buildings, partitions for zoning space in a room have become popular. They replace the wall if there is no possibility or desire to erect it, and they look very picturesque and beautiful.
Often this is a salvation for small apartments - studios or rooms in which two zones are combined: a bedroom with a living room. Dividing a long room and making a seating area and a guest area is the dream of many owners. one-room apartments and partitions allow you to do this effectively and functionally.

Designers have come up with many options for partitions. Usually, they serve to isolate personal space from residential or common space.
I perfectly understand those people who, in this way, are trying to recapture a little space for a double bed or a kitchen from standard narrow seventeen-meter rooms.

Decorative partitions differ from walls in their light transmission, because often when dividing a room, one of the zones becomes without access to a natural light source. And here designs come to the rescue without rear wall or transparent material.

According to their structure, partitions can be stationary or mobile. Drywall constructions can be classified as stationary, and mobile - sliding partitions or shelving.

Zoning materials are also striking in their diversity, in fact, you can use everything that is at hand or that is more accessible to you.

Below we will analyze interesting ideas that have already been brought to life by bold and active interior designers.

Glass structures

Glass is also a great option when dividing a room. It transmits light and looks very light. Of course, you must be sure of the quality of the glass if you have children. Therefore, tempered glass or plexiglass is often chosen. Strained glass on impact, it crumbles into small and not sharp parts, so it will be difficult for them to cut themselves.

In rooms where a sleeping place is fenced off, you can use frosted glass with a special coating, so you let the light into the second zone, but do not show what is in your bedroom.

The glass partition between the bed and the sofa is popular for use in minimalist and hi-tech styles, because. this material is self-sufficient and performs a maximum of functions with a minimum of space weighting.

The transparent partition completely transmits light.

Shelving as a partition

You could see the options in the previous article. Shelving structures, performing the functions of partitions are often made very roomy and without a back wall. They can separate the hallway or living area from the dining room.

Often in the form of a partition can serve simple vase planted with tall plants.

Here, the whole effect will come from creating a composition of these flowers, which serve as a partition between the hallway and the living room.

Blinds as a space divider

Use blinds to divide the space. Also became quite recently. This option allows, if necessary, to isolate the room, for example, to close it from sun rays. Because of his light construction they facilitate the interior and cope with their function as a partition between the living room and the hallway.

Vertical blinds are more popular, but horizontal ones are also found and serve as a partition between the kitchen and the hallway.

In the materials you can find paper blinds, made of aluminum or plastic, which help to divide the room into 2 zones and not eat up the space. The wider the individual details, the more modern and integral the interior looks.

Sliding partitions like a coupe

To divide a room into two zones with a compartment door or wardrobe, use guides and door leafs. Sliding partitions perfectly cope with their role of zoning. This option is suitable for small spaces and allows you to give the room a twist, thanks to its coverage. Matte options or glossy whites that reflect light look so chic.

A good solution would be to install a wardrobe, which, if necessary, can easily be converted into a comfortable double bed. Now designers are competing in the skill of creating unusual transforming furniture.

The use of cabinets and shelving to delimit the space in the room

The most popular solution lately is the installation of a wardrobe up to the ceiling. Facades can be made mirrored, which will visually increase the space, or decorate them with a special film with an original print.

Partitions are made either low or up to the ceiling, deaf or with holes for placement ornamental plants, photo frames, figurines and books.

Stationary can smoothly turn into an arch, which will more effectively emphasize the border between two functional zones. Depending on the style of the interior, the arch can have smooth or strict outlines, and thick curtains are often used to completely isolate the bed.
