• lack of natural light;
• uncomfortable room shape - elongated, with protrusions, rectangular (with an area of ​​no more than 15 sq m);
• pass room in old houses.

All of the above nuances contribute to the fact that the room becomes non-functional. The main task is to visually make the room more spacious and comfortable for living. Any designer can easily cope with this.

Becoming the owner of small housing, do not be upset. The presence of a small area inspires non-standard solutions and interesting interior ideas. It is enough to follow the expert advice on the design of small spaces.

As for the main recommendations, they are as follows:

• use additional light sources;
• correctly choose the color range that visually enlarges the room;
• use zoning to increase functionality;
• Choose interesting and roomy items of storage.

Consider in detail the interior of a small room in the form of general tips on decor.

A small room can not boast of high ceilings. To create an effect that visually lifts the ceiling, use light shades - matte or glossy.The currently popular design of stretch ceilings is the best fit for a small room.

You can also use the following technique - make the center of the ceiling snow white and glossy, while at the sides darken the color of the coating a little. This technique is able to stretch a room, add height and depth to it. From the hinged ceiling, which is a gypsum or profile construction, it is better to refuse. Such a design “takes away” the necessary centimeters of the room. An unsuccessful decision would be the decoration of the ceiling with a batten, wooden beams or stucco.

If we are talking about the decor of the ceiling, it is worth talking about lighting. For a small room, center lighting with a multi-level chandelier is completely inappropriate. It is better to give preference to small spotlights around the perimeter of the ceiling. LED strip will add light and create a festive mood.

Special attention should be paid to additional light sources. - lamps and corner floor lamps. They are not only involved in the process of lighting a room, but also serve as an excellent way to zoning space.On a small square wall sconces look good. Today you can choose the necessary option for the style of each room. In addition, the sconce does not take up much space, which is very important in a small room.

Use mirrors and mirror furniture in the interior of the room. Light will be reflected from them, forming glare. An unusual solution would be the construction of glass partitions. Since lighting plays an important role in interior design, experts recommend letting in as much natural light as possible into the room. You can expand the window opening or choose French glazing. Balcony, available in a small room, it is better to attach to the living room and choose to glaze the window to the floor.

For a small apartment, you should choose compact, uncluttered furniture that has strict regular shapes. Even better, it will successfully hide in a closet or niche in the wall. A good acquisition will be modern furniture-transformer. It is also necessary to ensure that when placing the interior tightly to the walls, windowsill, grooves and niches. Densely moved furniture will save the necessary centimeters.

• For a small bedroom it is worth stopping the choice on a sofa bed. During the day, such furniture takes up little space, and at night it can guarantee a comfortable sleep.
• In a small children's room, where two children live, a bunk bed would be the best option.
• If you are the owner of a miniature kitchen, stop your choice on a compact kitchen set, which at the same time will be very functional. For example, do not buy deep cabinets - they take up a lot of space. A successful acquisition will be a closet from the ceiling to the floor, where you can easily fit all the kitchen utensils.

Furniture can be made to order. For example, an interesting solution would be a bed with a podium, the space of which can be used to store things.

When planning the design of the walls, you should take into account the fact that a combination of 2-3 colors is considered optimal for a small room. One color is basic and is complemented by similar in color type, but more saturated shades.For wall decor, select the textures of light pastel colors - beige, pearl, ashy, olive, azure, milky, white. Designers do not recommend the use of dark wallpaper with a printed pattern, large ornament and a complex pattern. Such a design will "narrow" the room and focus on its small area.

For floor design it is better to use a monochromatic coating without complicated patterns and color combinations. The main motto - the simpler the better. Fit tile, linoleum, laminate. Choose a material that you like on the texture and operational properties. It is necessary to give preference to drawing under a tree - an alder, a beech, a pine, an oak. Do not use the mosaic on the floor, because such an interior will make the room even smaller.

For window decoration, use Roman or roller blinds, organza, tulle, mesh.It is not necessary to weight the space with weighty curtains and lambrequin. Since the interior of a small room is made mainly in light colors, accessories - sofa cushions, capes, and small bedside fluffy rugs will help to add accents and bright colors.

A trend like a cushion chair is a great alternative to a regular chair. or a chair. Blankets and bedspreads are best chosen without patterns, draperies and bright embroidery. Use mirrors in the interior, as they visually expand the boundaries of the room.

A beautiful and harmonious interior should also be functional. The division of a room into zones depends on its type, be it a bedroom, a living room, or an entire studio apartment. To get started is to decide on the project, and think about what interior items will be needed, and from which you can refuse.It is better to replace larger items with more compact ones, for example, a regular table on a folding one.

The next step is to divide the room into zones and separate them. The simplest (in terms of zoning) room is the bedroom. Here it is necessary to install a bed or a compact folding sofa. Often, the bedroom provides a working area and a place for gathering with friends. In the nursery, it is necessary to allocate a zone of sleep, as well as provide a place for games. It is possible to distinguish two spaces by color - with bright details in the game section and wallpaper with calm tones in the area for sleeping.

Living room is the most difficult room in terms of zoning. Here you need to provide a place for receiving guests, a working area, and often a sleeping place. Placing a floor lamp in the corner or fixing an unusual lamp on the edge of the table, you can arrange a place for reading or embroidery. In the small kitchen-living room it is necessary to separate the cooking area from the rest of the room. This can be done with the help of a bar counter, an artificial column, a wardrobe or a sofa. The main criterion for a successful division of space is a clear understanding of the purpose of the room, its type and shape.

Rooms of the small square push designers to create the most daring and unusual interiors:

• A great alternative to a bunk bed for two children can be an option where one of them is vykatnaya. Such a stylish bed will provide a healthy sleep, and in the afternoon the bed will move, which opens up additional space for games.

• Unusual is the idea of ​​a secret bed for adults. During the daytime, the room is an ordinary office, and when night falls, it becomes a cozy bedroom with a large comfortable bed.

• Strict minimalism - the style most suitable for the interior of a small room. Tastefully selected and properly arranged furniture, decor of the walls and ceiling, designed in the same color scheme - all this creates a beautiful ensemble. The highlight can be a cabinet of unusual shape, designed specifically for this room.

• The universal color of the walls and ceiling for small rooms is white and all light shades. Additional lighting is achieved by LED lighting, fired around the perimeter of the ceiling.A bright accent can be a piece of furniture, for example, a bright lime sofa.

• Lighting plays an important role in the interior of a small room. A great idea would be the panoramic windows in the floor. A room filled with natural light will appear more spacious. You can add an interior with an unusual shelf for books, photos and trifles.
