Most residents of cities - large and small, peripheral and megalopolises, most often own small apartments. But how do you want to organize even this space so that the interior is fully comfortable, cozy, ergonomic and beautiful! It is believed that for the most efficient use of the space of a small apartment, its layout should be organized as simply as possible. It is undesirable to oversaturate the space functionally. Each room should have its own purpose. There is no need to combine them, contrary to the prevailing stereotype of openness of space, but, on the contrary, to divide the living area and the kitchen, the living room and the bedroom.
Design tricks to visually increase space
So, where does the transformation of a small-sized apartment into a cozy, comfortable and functional home begin? That's right, with drawing up a simple project that you can sketch on your own on a piece of paper.
Of course, unfortunately, it will not be possible to physically solve the problem of the lack of space, but it is still worth trying to make housing more ergonomic and convenient for life. Moreover, a lot of positive reviews from owners who decided to resort to little design tricks that visually increase the space in their apartment speak of their successful experience.
Corridor and hallway
When decorating the interior design of your small apartment, it will be appropriate to use neutral and simple things. However, these things can be simple and stylish at the same time, or even designer. Also, do not complicate and clutter up an already small space. For such apartments, the most suitable style is -, in the interior of which only the most necessary things are present, and other unnecessary junk is thrown away.
The main task of pieces of furniture is to make the most of the free space of rooms along the walls, while using corners and hidden volumes. So, for example, a corner cabinet, taking up little space visually, will accommodate a fairly large number of items, and self-sliding shelves will facilitate access to it.
Thinking over every little detail - you can get a functional and stylish art object that attracts attention
Objects built into each other will allow them to be stored more compactly outside of use, the main thing is that their appearance is not complicated and intricate. It is appropriate if the furniture of one room will be made in the same style and from the same materials or materials-companions.
Narrow corridor will not be cluttered if the shoes are not placed on the floor, but in a special shoe rack, which is compact, spacious enough and closed.
And in general, the fewer open surfaces on which objects are located, the more neat and not cluttered the design of a small apartment looks.
Bathroom
Bathroom space will save the correct placement of all its elements. It is convenient to place the washing machine under the shelf on which the washing accessories will be stored. This shelf can be multi-storey, which will allow you to place there and rarely used or purchased for future use of hygiene products.
The space under the sink can be used to store towels and baskets of things, under the bathroom - buckets, brushes, cleaning or other plumbing products.
Kitchen
In the kitchen, a place above the refrigerator is often overlooked, where you can install a cabinet with shelves for storing rarely used dishes. The narrow space between the base cabinets or cupboard and the wall works well for a pull-out shelf that can hold pot lids, rolling pins, and other compact items.
It is undoubtedly better to use color for decorating a small kitchen, this will visually expand the space. Tall wall cabinets will also visually increase the height and overall volume of the kitchen. It is better to have a dining table sliding, which will relieve space. When 1-2 family members take food, the table can be left open, when the whole family gathers for dinner - increase its size.
It's a good idea to have a pair of folding chairs that can be stored suspended on hooks behind a door or in a pull-out structure between base cabinets. These chairs can be removed as needed and do not take up space when not in use. 
Living room
The living area should, if possible, be divided into separate rooms for the bedroom and living room. Having your own private bedroom creates a feeling of comfort, security and stability.
The device of modern beds allows you to use all of its elements. Lower part- for storing bulky things or sleeping accessories. Headboard- as a shelf, and sometimes even a bedside table, on which you can place night lamps (or reading lamps), favorite photographs, souvenirs brought from travels.
If room layout has a niche, it is advisable to install a cabinet in it. It is better if it occupies the entire space from floor to ceiling. Then all things - seasonal and everyday - will be conveniently and accessible in it. Mirrors are perfect for finishing cabinet doors. This will visually enlarge the room and avoid installing a separate dressing table.
If the layout of the room does not imply a niche, then you can install a corner cabinet. Such a design will not be visually cumbersome, while allowing the use of hard-to-reach corner space.
If all the same apartment layout forces to combine the living room and bedroom, then you need to more carefully approach the choice of the sofa and the mechanism for its unfolding. It is worth giving preference to a reliable and convenient design, because you will have to use it every day. It is also necessary to provide for the presence of a built-in box for storing bedding.
Children's room
Under it you need to allocate the brightest room in the apartment... The one that gets sunlight most of the day. Let it be small, but exactly Light room... The table is needed for children of any age, and you need to place it by the window. It will be quite beneficial to use the same plane with the window sill as a tabletop.
This will allow you to save money and be interesting to beat the workplace, and along the side walls to the right and left of the window, arrange bookshelves, which can accommodate not only a children's library, but also a family one.
If there are two children or the room is very small, then it makes sense to install a loft bed. In the first case, one more sleeping place will fit under it, in the second, there will be space for games or storing toys. Based on the size of the rooms - the master bedroom and the nursery - you need to determine the storage location for the children's clothes.
If it does not allow placing a wardrobe in it, and in the parents' room it is spacious enough, then all children's things can be stored in it. And for everyday things and underwear, select a couple of closed shelves in the bookcase or toys in the nursery. This is especially true when children are still small, and the choice of clothes is made by the parents. For teenage children, it is already necessary to allocate a separate storage place (wardrobe). The main requirement for pieces of furniture for children is reliability, security and environmental friendliness!
By choosing shades for decorating a children's room, do not forget that the child not only spends leisure time in it, but also exercises and rests. Therefore, the desire to dress everything up in bright elements and colored paints can turn into fatigue and excessive excitability of the child.
Zoning the space, decorate brightly that part of the room in which the child will play, where his toys are stored. And if the furniture in the nursery is already colorful enough, then the surfaces of the walls and floor are best done in calm light colors.
Materials (edit)
Now a few words about the choice of materials and shades for interior decoration of an apartment with a small area.
In a small apartment, preference should be given to light colors and a balancing geometry of the pattern. With irregular shapes of rooms (long and narrow), short walls can visually stretch horizontal lines in the wallpaper pattern, as well as a lighter shade of relatively long walls.
The floors in such a room should preferably be parallel to short walls (if it is a laminate or parquet board). In the case of linoleum, a drawing with a horizontal transverse direction is suitable.
Visually raising the ceiling will help to decorate it in a white or light shade, as well as vertical geometry on the walls. Verticality does not imply the presence of strict verified lines.
Such an ornament will be boring and dull. Give preference to a drawing that is perceived as a whole as vertically directed.
Themselves, its elements can be abstract or a favorite theme. Do not use saturated colors, rough and variegated fragments. If all the walls of the room are decorated in pastel colors, then one of them can be distinguished. For this, it is successful to use companion wallpaper, photo wallpaper, frescoes. The main thing is that the drawing is not too loaded and heavy.
A bed hidden in the wall is an excellent choice for a small room
Lighting
Take care of sufficient lighting in the apartment. A poorly lit room “hides” dark areas, creating the feeling of an even smaller space. A flat center light is suitable for central lighting if the ceiling is too low (less than 2.5 meters).
Point sources on the ceiling are always appropriate, operating from a single control center, evenly illuminating the entire room. The rooms can be additionally used sconce and desk lamp if they correlate with the main luminaire. The less diverse and discordant interior items in the room, the simpler and more spacious it seems. In a small apartment, compartment doors or accordion doors will also be very appropriate. Then, when open, they will not take up much space.
The variety and availability of modern finishing materials and materials for the manufacture of furniture allows you to overcome the limitations imposed by square meters. Competently planning the space, you can always visually compensate for its volume.
And by observing the simple tips outlined in this article, you can organize your interior of a small apartment in a cozy, comfortable, and most importantly, functional way.
If you do not have a spacious apartment, then you are probably thinking about how to equip a small room so that everything is compact, functional and stands in its place. Today we will show photos of interesting ideas for small rooms. Of course, all of them cannot be applied in one interior, but you can borrow some of them when drawing up designs for future renovations.
Use full-length wardrobes with mirrored doors: they are spacious and take up relatively little space. The sliding wardrobe will allow you to fold all the necessary and unnecessary things. The main thing is to competently approach its filling: all shelves and hangers should be well thought out so that you can place things as compactly as possible. Recommendations for filling the wardrobe (see others):
The layout of the shelves in the wardrobe More mirrors are another way to visually enlarge the area of the room. But don't go overboard with glossy surfaces, they need to be used very carefully in a small space. 
Use free space under the bed, sofa, above the door, and on the walls. There can fit a lot of things that are just lying around the room. You can use wall shelves without visible attachments to place some of the things from the floor cabinets in them. Do not overload the space, this is the main rule: as few unnecessary things in plain sight as possible.
Furniture for small bedrooms
Often, a large bed takes up all the available space in a room. This problem is solved by French hanging beds under the ceiling and beds in the closet, which are completely removed during the day and free up space. Examples of such bedrooms in the photo below:
Many people give up beds altogether and use sofas for a small room as a sleeping place.
If you have a small room - how to equip it for several people? You can use bunk beds and loft beds, they allow you to correctly allocate free space.
Lighting
Perhaps one of the most important elements of any interior is harmoniously selected lighting. Forget about old shades and chandeliers - create multi-level lighting for different zones. It will allow you to adjust the light in the room as you wish: when you need it - bright, and when you decide to watch a movie in the evening, a soft glow against the wall will be enough.
Most often, single and stretch ceilings are used for embedding directional luminaires. In addition, think about the option, it is easily glued to any place and allows your designs to "float in the air".
The photo shows examples of well-chosen lighting in small rooms:
Zoning
Zoning can be done with lighting, wall, floor or ceiling decoration. A wardrobe or a transparent curtain separating the workplace from the recreation area can act as a "border".
Usually one room contains a bedroom, study, living room, and sometimes a kitchen.
Podium
An excellent solution for saving space and zoning a room is a multifunctional podium. Above can be a sleeping place, a seating area or a work area, and at the bottom there are spacious shelves or a pull-out bed.
Look at the photo of ready-made frame podiums - all the necessary things are collected in one corner, isn't it functional?

2. Curtains. If there are large windows in a small room, then it is better to hang curtains around the edges, then they
DIY apartment design. How to furnish / equip a small room beautifully and compactly with photo examples.will seem even bigger. Choose long (floor-length) curtains and tulle in the same color scheme as the walls. Give preference to light, flowing fabrics that do not weigh down the space and do not draw attention to themselves. If possible, replace blackout curtains with gauze. This will allow maximum light to enter the room.
3. Make the most of your space. Each piece of furniture, especially in a small room, should have its own purpose. Try to make the most of it. For example, a furniture wall is a great option for those who live in a one-room apartment. It does not take up much space and combines several types of furniture at once: a wardrobe, a bookcase, a chest of drawers, a TV stand, a mini-bar, shelves for souvenirs, photographs and other trifles.
4. Multifunctional furniture. It is not necessary to approach the issue radically - to buy a bed that turns into a wall, or a table that folds into a coffee table, especially since such innovative ideas of designers are not cheap. The most common and affordable way to save space is with a sofa bed. At night it is a comfortable double bed, which is assembled in the morning into a full-fledged sofa, where you can receive guests. In addition, there is usually space under the sofa cover for bed linen, blankets and pillows.
5. Reflective and transparent surfaces. Mirrors and other reflective interior elements can also visually enlarge the space and brighten the room through reflected light. It is desirable that the mirror is opposite the window. A wardrobe with large mirrored doors or a wall with mirrored tiles visually doubles the room. Transparent interior items made of durable plastic, less often glass (for example, tables, chairs) allow you to visually expand the space. Furniture with transparent legs creates a light and floating effect. These simple methods allow you to effectively furnish a small room in an apartment or house.
6. Zoning the premises. To make the room more functional, divide it into zones. For example, you need to separate the work area from the sleeping area. Use different color combinations, separate the space with screens, curtains or bookshelves. Use different light sources to create the illusion of two different rooms. Arrange furniture around the room so that it is accessible and you can move freely around the room. Remember: the more free the floor is, the more spacious the room will seem.
7. Avoid clutter. This is especially noticeable in a small space. Do not "litter" the room with unnecessary things. Determine your priorities: get rid of what you don't need, hide what will someday come in handy in cabinets and drawers, and for those things that you use constantly, determine the most accessible places.
8. More light. Natural and artificial light have the ability to expand space. Even if the window is large, try not to cover it with curtains. If the room is not on the sunny side, you can use the built-in light sources around the room. Choose a small chandelier, a large one will look ridiculous. A transparent ceiling chandelier is the best option. See the article of rooms, this will help to achieve a visual increase in space and better equip a small room, the photo examples below clearly demonstrate this.
9. Small furniture for a small room. Give up bulky interior items, especially if they do not carry a functional load. Large armchairs can be discarded by replacing them with equally comfortable chairs. A small folding table is useful both for receiving guests and for a home office. Replace the luxurious corner sofa with a more modest size. It is equally comfortable and takes up much less space.
Now our website do-it-yourself apartment renovation clearly recommend the design of projects for the arrangement of rooms. Thanks to the recommendations for the compact arrangement of small rooms, you can arrange comfort in the apartment.
The implementation of design ideas can bring new colors to life, create a corner of comfort and warmth that fully meets the interests and hobbies of its owner. Compliance with certain design rules will turn even a small room into a more spacious and functional one. The design of a small room is not only the right choice of a color scheme that allows you to visually increase the space, but also a successful selection of interior details that allow you to competently use every centimeter of the area.
The color scheme plays an important role, it can visually expand the boundaries of the room
For the design of a small room, it is worth choosing furniture wisely.
Even the smallest room can be turned into a comfortable and functional room
In modern apartments, rooms with a limited area can serve as a living room, bedroom, study and nursery. But, more often than not, even such a small space is multifunctional. At the same time, it is not always necessary to redevelop a house or apartment, using your imagination, even in such conditions, you can create a truly original interior decoration. In order for the interior of a small room to be as comfortable as possible, you need to follow a few simple rules.
- Make sure every corner is well lit. Darkness is, of course, a friend of youth, but an enemy of tiny rooms. Insufficient illumination literally compresses the space.
- Use pastel colors on all surfaces: walls, ceiling and floor. One wall can be highlighted with a brighter shade. The ideal option is a wallpaper with a landscape or an optical illusion, which further enhances the impression of spaciousness.
- You should not glue wallpaper with small ornaments; a classic print is more suitable: vertical stripes, large patterns. This solution will make the room more noble.
- Choose elegant modular furniture, do not overload the interior with unnecessary details, especially massive ones.
- Small decorative elements are more suitable for the interior, as they create a false impression of spaciousness: miniature photographs or paintings, a small carpet that leaves part of the floor open.
Following these simple principles will allow you to create a comfortable interior even in a very cramped area.
For small rooms, everything needs to be calculated to the smallest detail.
If you follow the rules, then the design of the room will turn out to be bright and cozy.
How to decorate a window?
The window is a key element of the interior of small rooms; a successful design can create an atmosphere of comfort and harmony. Best suited for decorating it:
- curtains made of lightweight fabrics;
- transparent, flowing tulle;
- draped curtains.
The choice of textiles for window design largely depends on the purpose of the small room. For a small bedroom, curtains with draperies are more suitable, for a nursery - curtains with an unusual print, for an office combined with a library, or a living room - tulle, which easily lets in natural light.
If you don't want to make the window an accent piece, hang a rectangular white or cream curtain on it, so attention will be focused on the remaining area. For this purpose, you can hang roller shutters or exquisite blinds.
Roman shades are perfect for a window in the bedroom.

The choice of stylistic direction
The area and architectural features dictate tough conditions when choosing the style of interior decoration. In a 12-meter room, baroque or rococo styles, overloaded with details, will look ridiculous and unnatural. But an excellent solution would be:
- high tech;
- minimalism;
- Scandinavian;
- Japanese;
- modern style.
These styles are related by a small number of decorative elements, smooth surfaces and straight lines. It is with the definition of the general concept that all work should be started: the selection of furniture and finishing materials will become much easier.
The use of light colors will visually expand the boundaries of the room.
There should be a lot of light in small rooms.
Usually modern styles are used for small rooms.
The interior of a small room, depending on its purpose
The planning of design work always begins with the establishment of the functional characteristics of the premises.
Features of the design project depending on the type of room
Bedroom design
When decorating, carefully consider the color scheme and lighting. Do not give preference to dark shades, it is better to choose gentle tones: beige, cream, white or light blue will make the room a real center for relaxation and rest after a busy day. It is these shades that are optimal for relaxation and psychological relief. In addition, light colors visually enlarge the room, which in the case of a small area is no less important than creating an atmosphere of relaxation.
Sources of soft, diffused light are the best solution in a small bedroom. Eyes will not get tired from too bright lighting. Hang sconces with caps over the bed or put lamps with lampshades on the bedside tables, install tall floor lamps. This way, you can illuminate every corner without straining your eyes.

When designing the design of a small bedroom, you should think over everything to the smallest detail.
Kitchen decoration
Create a room design plan, think over the layout and zoning of the space. In the working area, pay attention to the triangle "sink-stove-refrigerator", access to them must be free.
Choose a set with glossy finishes, glass doors and metal fittings to make your kitchen seem more spacious. If possible, move the refrigerator to another place. It is better to choose the apron, walls and countertops light, so you can avoid the effect of weighting the interior decoration.
The design of a small kitchen needs to be thought out carefully.
Small living room design
The main rule: do not overload the interior with bulky items. Even if you have a large family, or you often receive guests, do not install a massive sofa and large armchairs, it is better to opt for an elegant sofa with light upholstery and small armchairs with carved wooden armrests, ottomans. As additional seating, it is appropriate to use large pillows (especially if a company of young people is going), which at normal times can be removed into the wall.
The best location for a TV or plasma panel is the wall opposite to the sofa.
Competent interior of the little room in the "Khrushchev"
Such houses have long been outdated, but they still constitute a significant part of the housing stock in the post-Soviet space. Once such a separate apartment was the ultimate dream of an ordinary Soviet person, but now the inconvenient layout, poor sound insulation and small size cause a restrained smile or irritation.
But the days when such apartments were firmly associated with carpets on the walls are long gone. Even "Khrushchev" can be made really relevant and comfortable for people accustomed to modern conditions.
Modern style, minimalism or Provence are most suitable for decorating "Khrushchevs". When choosing furniture, finishing materials and decor, you need to follow the general design principles for small rooms.
It will not be difficult to decorate a small room in Khrushchev
It is best to use light shades.
Even in Khrushchev, you can make a cozy and functional design.
Successful color solutions
One of the main tasks facing people who independently create a design project for their own home is not to be mistaken with the choice of color combinations. The limited size of housing imposes a number of additional conditions. To visually expand the space as the main tone, use:
- white and all its shades;
- soft blue;
- beige;
- light green;
- pale pink.
Strictly follow the rule of three: one color is used as the main one, it can be quite a lot, it is usually used for decorating walls, floors and ceilings; no more than two other shades should be present as additional ones. These tones can be really bright and rich even in confined spaces.
It is better to use warm colors in the bedroom.
Lighter colors are suitable for the living room.
Zoning a small room
The problem of division into zones is especially acute in a one-room apartment, when a single living room must perform all the functions that only exist. When several people live in the apartment, you can divide it with a partition. But in no case use monolithic, heavy materials. Better to put a translucent partition that will diffuse and reflect the light. In this case, one part can be designed as a living room with a work desk, and the other as a small nursery or bedroom.
If this option is not suitable, because you want more privacy, sliding partitions will be an excellent choice; if you choose such "doors" with a mirror finish, they will also visually enlarge the tiny room.
If the ceilings are high enough, a sleeping area can be set up on an impromptu second floor. In this case, spacious cabinets can be placed under it, a work table can be installed. This will unload the rest of the area.
If the ceiling height is low, set up a podium on which to equip the guest or work area, and hide the pull-out bed inside.
A partition made of wood will look very beautiful
Zoning can be done using partitions
Illuminated decorative partitions will be an excellent option for zoning.
Furniture selection
Small rooms need to be furnished with very compact and functional furniture. Furniture items of simple shapes and clear lines look harmonious. To make the interior more "lively", select furnishings so that the horizontal surfaces are at different levels.
Experiment with the so-called "transformers" - pieces of furniture that can completely change their shape and even purpose.
Do not overload the interior, put only the essentials: a bed or sofa, a table, storage space for various things. Don't litter the space.
Wallpaper for small rooms
When choosing wall decoration and window decoration, you need to consider some of the most common design techniques that will help make the interior decoration more comfortable and interesting. Wallpaper should be:
- light colors;
- with a simple texture;
- without a pattern or with very small ornamentation.
Of course, you can experiment a little, but completely dark shades will definitely not work. Cool colors are ideal, but only in very good lighting conditions, otherwise go for warmer tones.
Wallpaper with patterns will look very good.
Wallpaper must be in light shades.
Design nuances for boys and girls
Of course, the rooms of girls and boys are significantly different from each other. There are several nuances that will help you navigate the host of design ideas and independently create a truly impressive interior.
So, for a girl's room, it is better to choose:
- delicate shades;
- elegant furniture;
- a large number of decorative elements.
Suitable for the space in which a young guy lives:
- strict tones;
- minimum decor;
- functional furnishings.
Don't be afraid to get creative. It is worth making a little effort, and even tiny rooms of 5 or 6 square meters can be made original, functional and, most importantly, comfortable for their owners.

The bedroom in the house is considered one of the most important premises, because it is here that a person spends a significant part of his life, relaxing after a hard day and gaining strength for new achievements. That is why such strict requirements are imposed on the bedroom.
It should be comfortable, functional and properly equipped from a psychophysiological point of view.
In order for the new bedroom design to fully suit the owners of the home, you need to think through every little thing in advance, because the needs of each family are different. WITHThere are 2 division systems:
- NS about belonging;
- NS about the type of housing (in your own house, in a panel house with an improved layout, in Khrushchev).
The type of setting and style of the room should be used taking into account who will own the bedroom. There may be several options here.
- Marital (or parental).
This room should be as comfortable and aesthetic as possible. In addition, it is imperative to add at least a touch of romance here, because the spouses not only relax in the bedroom, but also want to retire.
The central place here will be occupied by a bed, quite spacious and comfortable.
- Bachelor.
The atmosphere in this room is as close as possible to that of a matrimonial.
Quite often, this room serves not only as a bedroom, but also as a home office.
- Children's.
Usually the child's bed is located in the children's room, which serves as both a play and study area.
Special requirements apply here.
- In a one-room apartment.
These cases also need a special approach, since the bedroom is combined with the living room.
Such a room needs zoning.
The influence of the type of housing on the decor of the bedroom
As already mentioned, the type of dwelling has a great influence on the design of the bedroom.
- Own house.
The peculiarity of interior design in a private house is that residents can choose a room for a bedroom, based on their own preferences - they have such an opportunity.
The main selection criteria will be the direction to the cardinal points, the location of the windows, the area of the room and its location relative to other rooms.
If there is a second floor in the house, the designers recommend equipping the bedroom there. Completely inimitable design options are available for the attic bedroom.
Photos of finished projects will surely attract your attention.
- Panel house with improved planning.
In this case, the owners have slightly less choice than in the previous case, however, there are many opportunities to equip a spacious, bright bedroom without worrying about cramped conditions.
Only the declared budget and own preferences can limit the design.
- Khrushchevs.
This type of housing is one of the most common in our country, and it is here that difficulties arise with interior design. The main reason is the small floor space and low ceilings. There is no room to talk about here.
Interior designers have in their arsenal a dozen techniques and tricks, thanks to which even the arrangement of furniture in the bedroom is 12 sq. m will be winning and attractive.
Sofa in the bedroom - space saving
Many tenants of small apartments install exclusively beds in their bedrooms, sacrificing precious square meters and abandoning other important interior items. Whether it is worth using the same option is up to the residents to decide.
However, the masters have long suggested using an effective solution to this problem - the design of a small room of 12 sq m with a sofa.
A properly selected sofa will successfully replace even the most comfortable bed, and here's why.
- Saving space.
This is probably the first thing that comes to mind, and this statement is indeed true. Unlike a double bed, the assembled sofa takes up 2 times less space, and therefore there will still be enough space in the room during the day.
Moreover, in this case, the arrangement of furniture in a room of 12 sq m will not require rejection of other necessary furniture.
- Functionality.
Manufacturers offer the use of a huge number of folding sofas, which differ in size and type of mechanism.
Thanks to this, the sofa unfolds in just a few seconds, turning into a spacious bed.
- Convenience.
Now you can choose absolutely any sofa, taking into account the size, level of softness and type of upholstery.
Gray sofa in the room 12 meters.
- Functionality.
If you want to save a little more space - choose models with drawers at the bottom.
Bed linen and other items can be placed here.
- Versatility.
The sofa will perfectly "fit", both in the matrimonial bedroom and in all other types of premises.
Pastel colors and textiles add softness and comfort.
Selection of furniture for a small bedroom
So, even if you have already decided on the purchase of a sofa, the question remains about how to arrange furniture in a 12 sq m bedroom without sacrificing free space, and most importantly: how to choose it?
The process of creating a small home takes a lot of effort.
It should be noted that there is a fairly standard list of furniture items that must be in every bedroom:
- TO bed or sofa;
- NS a cafe for clothes (if there is no dressing room in the house);
- T bedside umbils (they can be successfully placed near the sofa);
- N A small chest of drawers (very convenient for storing small items and underwear).
Proper organization of space is a painstaking work that requires a lot of attention from designers.
If desired, items such as a TV (monitor) and a dressing table can be used in the bedroom. The list can be shortened or expanded depending on your preferences.
For a small room, this set will be more than enough.
- Wardrobe.
The design of a small room of 12 sq m with a sofa simply cannot do without a storage system. At the same time, it is rather difficult to choose a suitable cabinet model, because in a cramped room any cabinet will look much larger than it actually is. To improve the situation even a little, designers recommend choosing built-in wardrobes along the entire wall from floor to ceiling. Another detail that makes life easier in a small apartment is the sliding doors (ideally mirrored or with frosted glass).
Such furniture will give a good economy of space, it will allow you to freely place all clothes, bedding and many more different items.
- Shelves.
A cell phone, TV remote control, alarm clock and other little things can be stored on the bedside table. In the Khrushchev's bedroom, such a (seemingly) small piece of furniture can become an unaffordable luxury, because it will “eat up” a lot of space. Is there a way out? Of course, these are hinged shelves.
Well-chosen in style and color scheme, the shelves will perfectly replace both bedside tables and a chest of drawers.
- Sofa.
As for the choice of a sofa, here you can fully rely on your preferences, since there are a great many options on the market for goods. They all differ in the type of mechanism and style. "American clamshell", "Dolphin", "Verona" will be quite spacious when disassembled.
Install the sofa against the wall.
How to arrange furniture in a small bedroom 12 sq m
It is very important to choose the right furniture for a small room, but it is equally important to arrange it correctly. Taking into account the recommendations of the interior designers, it will be much easier to deal with this, and the result will exceed all expectations.
There are only a few placement options, each of which has pros and cons, and some are completely unacceptable in tight spaces.
- Symmetrical placement method.
Its essence lies in the fact that paired objects are installed on both sides of a given axis. A prime example is the bedside tables against the wall on either side of the bed or sofa. The same can be done with a built-in wardrobe - divide it into 2 parts and install it on the sides of the sofa. In this case, the TV can be hung on the opposite wall. This setting looks quite laconic and traditional. However, it has a drawback - it can be applied only in a room with a square (or close to it) shape.
One wall in the bedroom is overloaded.
- Asymmetric.
In this case, the sofa becomes the focal point, and all other objects are already located around it along the perimeter of the walls. Looking at a photo of such an interior, it may seem that all objects are placed in the room in an absolutely chaotic way, but this is far from the case. However, to maintain harmony in space, the swing principle is used. In other words, the main emphasis is on the fact that tall objects alternate with low ones.
This technique can be used indoors with any configuration - this is a plus.

Color palette of design
Everyone probably knows that to visually increase the space in the bedroom design, you need to add light tones to the walls, ceiling and furniture. However, plain rooms can only aggravate the situation. Feel free to use:
Play of light
Even the smallest and darkest room can be instantly transformed with carefully thought-out lighting (primary and secondary).The main light is the central chandelier.
For the design of a 12 meter bedroom, it is better not to buy large hanging models. They will look bulky.
Additional light can be represented by a wall lamp with a soft diffusing light, a tall floor lamp, spotlights. An amazing design result can be created using the zoned ceiling lighting.

Textile decoration - stylish completion of the design of the room
Curtains are one of the main additions to every room interior. For small cramped spaces, interior designers recommend opting for a light translucent tulle, as it makes the interior more airy and light. However, the bedroom is the place where personal space is of the utmost importance, so the use of a thick curtain is quite acceptable.
In color, it can overlap with the interior palette or, on the contrary, be contrasting and bright.
Vertical blinds can be named as a modern fashionable solution.
They are very similar to traditional curtains, but much more original and easy to clean.
