Small rooms are the scourge of apartments built in the 60s-80s of the last century. Let us immediately stipulate that small parameters mean a bedroom of 12-14 m². In this area, it is often necessary to place a double bed, storage systems, and sometimes a dressing table and even a work place. How to do all this correctly, we will tell in the article.
Plan ahead
First of all, you need to design the room. Think about power points, the location of lamps, sockets for other electrical appliances, including a hair dryer and laptop. If you plan to do the repair work yourself and understand this, then use a good tool to form channels for wiring. For example, high-tech Intertool rotary hammers They do an excellent job of this task.
Place for a bed
It is this that takes up most of the small bedroom. Therefore, you can use this area to store various things. For this purpose, choose:
- A bed with a lifting mechanism. As a result, you get a 2 x 2 m box, in which you can put out-of-season items, warm blankets, home textiles and other large items.
- Bed with a podium. You can build drawers into it if space allows. You can also store various things in the drawers.
- Install a sofa instead of a bed. By choosing a book-type model, you significantly reduce the used area in a small room. Such a sofa is suitable for one or two small people.
Use transformable furniture
Multifunctional furniture allows you to save space. For example, a transformable bed with built-in storage space, a pull-out table or a lifting seat, a built-in ironing board that can be pulled out using a special mechanism. All this is not visible to strangers at first glance. But with a slight push or turn it transforms.
Vertical space
In a small room, you can use vertical space. To do this, place tall cabinets and shelves on both sides of the window up to the ceiling, use the space above the window openings. Pay attention to the area near the bed. On both sides of it, up to the ceiling, you can also place storage space. Cosmetics, necessary literature, lamps and much more are perfectly placed here. In the under-ceiling space of the cabinet, place a pantograph or microlift. The fact is that this area often remains unclaimed. You will be surprised how many things can be placed there.
Light-colored finishing
This is an important point that must be taken into account at the design stage. Light milky shades visually expand the space. For the same purpose, use mirror and glass surfaces. Reflecting the light falling on them, they erase the boundaries, making the room visually more spacious.
Maximum light
It is better to abandon the central chandelier in favor of several lamps placed along the perimeter of the ceiling and even in the floor area. Thanks to the diffused light, the room will look more spacious. It is better to replace table lamps and sconces with small narrow pendant lamps. An excellent option in this case is an LED strip. Advice: give preference to cold light streams.
