How to furnish a small apartment for a young family

An interesting and exciting activity is arranging, albeit small, your own home. Especially if this apartment is the first in your life. Young people are not afraid of bold decisions, but, not having free funds to completely change their apartment, they put comfort and space efficiency first. And taking into account their character and interests, they choose a bright and original interior with a minimum amount of furniture.

Youth style in the interior

Style is different:

  1. Originality and the use of bright and crazy shades, but the brightness is diluted with a neutral color. Design in acid tones is boring and worsens your mood.
  2. Functionality with smart home appliances that are given pride of place. Furniture is only necessary, comfortable and fashionable, in a minimalist style, with a direct purpose.
  3. The requirement of open space for freedom of movement. To do this, use flat cabinets or sliding wardrobes, wall shelves.
  4. The absence of pretentiousness, everything according to the principle of “necessity and sufficiency”, with notes of slight negligence. This is due to the reduction in cleaning time.
  5. Comfort: upholstered furniture - cozy bean bags, water mattresses, wide bed and original sofas.

Wall decoration, flooring, accessories and decor are at the choice of the owners. But preference should be given to glass, metal, plaster, plastic, laminate or linoleum, as well as soft textiles and natural wood.

Paint is more beneficial for walls than wallpaper, which gets dirty and difficult to clean, and painted walls are easier to decorate with drawings or youth stickers and posters.

Fashion trends

On the one hand, youth is tenderness and romance, on the other – a storm of emotions and a “vinaigrette” of ideas. Therefore, the main rule for performing a fashionable youth manicure is the absence of all rules. Marigolds can be catchy and bright, they can be delicate and simple, or they can surprise others with a combination of structures and techniques. What exactly such ideas might look like is described in more detail below in the material.

Zoning the apartment space

Each room requires competent and easy division into zones with designated boundaries.

Mandatory zones of a one-room apartment:

  • living room;
  • bedroom;
  • workplace;
  • storage of things;
  • hallway;
  • children's;
  • if there is no separate kitchen, then a cooking place.

It’s not worth dividing a small room with partitions; it’s better to choose:

  • portable fabric or plastic partitions - screens;
  • build a brick partition as part of the wall;
  • using built-in furniture;
  • color accents;
  • due to the texture of the floor: in the “kitchen” - tiles, in the “living room” - laminate flooring, or give preference to flooring at different levels;
  • lamps and lighting.

When dividing a room into zones, do not forget about the unifying elements of the apartment: paint the floor in a single color, repeat finishing patterns in other places, or choose a single theme for posters.

Surface finishing materials

Laminate is considered the optimal finishing material for flooring: it is affordable, easy to install and sold in a wide range of colors. Laminate flooring can be complemented with a beautiful carpet. To create a warm and cozy atmosphere, you can immediately install carpet. For walls, plain wallpaper with small patterns for painting is suitable. It is better not to use ordinary wallpaper with ornaments. The simplest and most correct option is to simply paint the walls. If desired, monochromatic coloring can be supplemented with thematic photo wallpapers (with images of the city at night, portraits of famous actresses, singers). Satin-look stretch fabrics are ideal for finishing the ceiling. Glossy models with a simple design will be inappropriate. An economical solution would be to simply whitewash or install a single-tier plasterboard ceiling.

Interior color

Some people like bright, rich colors, while others prefer calm or neutral colors. To visually separate the zones, use shades of the main background of the apartment, making them brighter or paler, without variegation. Another color, one or two, can be added as an accent or decoration.

For serious young people, muted brown, gray and beige, black and blue, pale green or brick colors are suitable. This sad and boring palette is diluted with two or three items of bright, joyful shades.

Cheerful youth will choose from a bright and rich range of red, bright green, pink and blue tones. They will also love the finish in intense lilac or purple, yellow or orange.

You should not paint a lot of space with one bright color. 2-3 items in rich colors look more advantageous in a room with white or pastel walls, or with light-colored furniture.

Small area: secrets of arrangement

A room for a young man can rarely boast of large dimensions. This greatly complicates the process of arranging it. It is necessary not only to choose the right design for a men's bathroom, but also to correctly place everything you need. A number of secrets will help in this process.

When arranging a room for a man with a small area, the following conditions must be observed.

  • Use convertible furniture. You should not install a bulky wardrobe or a bed that takes up a lot of space. The foldable one is perfect. If necessary, it is easy to make it a comfortable place to sleep.
  • Install sliding doors. This will allow you to rationally use every meter of the room. Place a desk against a wall or host a reception.
  • Get rid of unnecessary things. All personal items should be stored in a closet. This way, there will be free space on the table and sofa.
  • Arrange the interior in accordance with the requirements of the minimalist style.
  • Combine zones. At the same time, their functional significance should be preserved. The living room will be a great place to sleep, and the work area can be used to implement creative ideas.

The furniture in the room should be properly arranged

The room should have everything you need

Relaxation and communication area

It is important for young people to communicate with friends, but how can this be done if there is not enough space in the apartment? The first is to remove the excess, the second is to take up free space - this is in the center of the room, sitting on a soft fluffy carpet.

In this case, you need a heated floor. There are also cozy poufs and a couple of bean bags, next to a spacious sofa and many bright pillows.

Two guys' bedroom

You can arrange a bedroom for two boys in different ways. First, you need to decide on the age of the residents and the size of the room. In a spacious room they can easily turn into two sofas or beds. In a small area it is better to use two-level structures. This will save space. In addition, such furniture is functional and comfortable. It is better to choose materials for decorating the room in light colors. They will visually expand the room.

If the guys are students, you will need to install two or a spacious table. Maybe a closet. The main requirement for it is capacity. It will be necessary to place the clothes of both residents in it. The wardrobe is perfect. In such a room it will be necessary to take into account the requirements of each owner. It's a little difficult, but possible.

Furniture for the younger generation

Young people like different, non-standard furniture: oval sofas and round beds, fancy hanging chairs and original chairs. Upholstered furniture is often folding and used as additional sleeping places.

The cabinets are built-in or with sliding doors, the walls are decorated with figured shelves. Next to the sofa is an intricate coffee table that easily turns into a bar counter or dining table. In cramped spaces, cabinets with wheels come in handy, and the walls are occupied by shelving.

In youth fashion, the furniture is in bright, saturated colors, but on the condition that the walls are of a calm and discreet color. With bright finishes, it is appropriate to choose neutral-colored furniture.

Beaded curtains

We can say with confidence that in the 70s there was a fashion for beaded curtains made of wood, and in the 90s – for plastic butterflies. You can still use such an interior element, but try to more or less get rid of it.

Sleeping area

You can create an original and cozy place to sleep if you place partitions on both sides or built-in furniture on the outer sides, and place the mattress on a podium with steps.

More: Plastic windows: proper care extends service life

Fence off the front part with mobile panels, a shelf with a TV or thick curtains in the color of the walls. Arrange a false ceiling, decorate it with glowing stars, and install lighting along the edge, marking the boundary of the zone.

The interior decoration of the bedroom looks interesting - a cube with imitation stone or with a built-in clock on a luminous wall. If the apartment has high ceilings, then the bed can be installed on the second tier.

Experiments with colors and shapes in fashionable manicure 2021

Modern manicure trends are definitely FOR color: a bold combination of shades complemented by trendy details is a great way to create a bright youth look. But in order for the manicure to look harmonious, we advise you to follow the recommendations:

  • A single style (for example, overlapping patterns on different nails, using only soft shapes, combining colors within the rules of the color wheel).
  • Color blocks instead of a plain coating. Try filling only part of the nail with color: this effect looks bright, but does not overload the manicure. In this case, soft forms without sharp corners are most relevant.
  • Thematic prints. For example, a chessboard or a recognizable yin-yang pattern, as in the first photo. Animal prints (cow, leopard, giraffe and others) in bright colors are also popular.
  • Add voluminous elements or rhinestones. Here you should be moderate and limit yourself to 1-3 nails so as not to shift the emphasis from the color.

Lettering in youth nail designs

Manicure in modern culture has become a full-fledged way of self-expression, and increasingly it contains statements, humor and other manifestations of individuality. Therefore, placing a short phrase on your nails (or several phrases on different nails) is a great idea for a youth design. At the same time, the inscription on the nails is difficult for an outsider to read (if you don’t look closely), but this technique will arouse interest and can reveal a new side of your personality.

Manicure for short and long nails in the style of classical art

Whatever the new generation is accused of, nevertheless, curiosity and a desire for self-development are a clear trend among young people. Including interest in art, attempts to understand it through the prism of modernity. Works of classical painting in nail design are a perfect example of this. This technique is extremely popular; it will definitely take manicure to a new level and create a pleasant creative mood in everyday life. “Paintings” are placed on the nails using sliders (stickers), which the artist frames with suitable colors (mixes them if necessary, like a real artist) to hide the borders. This design can be complemented with modern elements: glitter, graffiti and others.

Manicure in the style of classical art requires a good understanding of colors, patterns and their combinations, as well as skill in execution. Therefore, choose trusted manicure specialists: study the portfolio (for example, on an Instagram page), read reviews.

References to popular culture in youth manicure

In manicure you can use not only classical art. Equally relevant is design stylized to resemble popular culture: with references to TV series, films, media figures, luxury brands or even fast food. This solution echoes the pop art movement; it is extremely popular among creative young people and, of course, lifts the mood every day. The recommendations are the same: choose a good master and a uniform style of execution.

Nail design with stamping in Japanese style

Stamping is one of the most popular techniques in modern manicure, and at the same time it is extremely simple to perform. In fact, this is a special seal that applies a picture to the nail. In youth manicure 2022, Japanese-style designs are at the peak of trends: dragons spread over several nails, cranes, hieroglyphs, etc. It is better to place such a pattern on a nude background and stick to 1-2 colors in the traditional Japanese range (red, yellow, blue and others). A manicure with stamping in the Japanese style looks modern, but discreet, suitable for those who do not like excessive brightness.

Manicure with rhinestones and large sparkles

Rhinestones and glitter are an integral part of youth culture. And you can safely use them in modern manicure! The main thing is not to overload an already bright design with rhinestones, and if you want a lot of shine and large sparkles, then make them the only accent (as in the photo). It is also worth remembering about your clothing style - a catchy manicure with rhinestones should fit into everyday looks.

Glitter can also be used in a discreet manicure: place several elements on a nude background, complement them with details in the same color scheme (but so that the main part of the nails is a natural shade) and you will get a laconic and stylish manicure.

Funny pictures in youth nail design

Let's finish the selection with naive drawings - another full-fledged trend in youth manicure. Simple pictures (as if drawn by hand) will add lightness, naivety or playfulness to the image, depending on the theme. And there are many ideas for pictures, for example:

  • Emoji;
  • The pictures are a la drawn by a child;
  • Schematic representation of different parts of the body (for the brave);
  • Cartoon characters;
  • Candy or flowers;
  • Schematic representation of planets, stars, clouds and so on.

But the options, as you understand, are not limited - ask the master what he can draw, what sliders are available and choose.

Kitchen-dining room

If the apartment has a separate spacious kitchen and a spacious pantry, then arrange a room in the kitchen and equip a pantry for cooking. It is better to make the appliances built-in, and place the pieces of furniture against one wall.

Place cabinets-columns, and between them there will be a sofa. Nearby there is an original table and chairs on which to place pillows. Lower the metal shade of the lamp lower to the table, and equip the cooking area with lamps.

It is advisable to highlight a wall with furniture with wallpaper that matches the color of the living room. Bright accents look expressive against gray and white backgrounds, as do surfaces that differ in color and texture.

Lighting

Each zone needs an individual light source. In a cramped room with an area of ​​no more than 7-10 centimeters, a modest ceiling chandelier, a sconce above the bed and a table lamp in the work area are sufficient. If the room is more spacious, you can allocate a place for receiving guests, or doing your favorite hobby, then at least one lighting fixture is placed.

Decorative lighting is also useful: an LED strip runs along the perimeter of the floor, ceiling, curtain frame or cabinet. If there is a chest of drawers, a piece of furniture with transparent doors, there is also light there. Such lighting should not be too bright, as it will interfere with normal sleep. As decoration, entire paintings are made on the ceiling, on the walls, decorated with LEDs - these are night cities, starry skies, a world map, etc.

Bathroom and corridor

The bathroom repeats the color background and pattern of the apartment’s decoration when applied to the furniture or ceiling. Glue glossy tiles in a contrasting color to one wall. And to expand the space, it is better to hide heating radiators in the floor.

In a small hallway there is only the necessary, freeing up space. Attach a soft fabric finish to the wall, and place a narrow bench-shoe rack next to it.

To store items, consider hanging shelves, cabinets or sachets - a screen with pockets. A wall mirror in an original design will visually increase the space.

Inscriptions


Let's continue our today's review of trends in youth and school manicure with the above-mentioned design - inscriptions on nails.
This manicure doesn’t look boring and is always interesting, and above all else, playful and cute. Top artists suggest using inscriptions in the form of various sliders or making an inscription by hand using a brush. This design will perfectly decorate one accent nail or several fingers at once in a fashionable youth manicure.

Accessories

In the youth interior there are objects that are reminiscent of the event, serving to reflect the mood, taste and life position of the owners.

In addition, young people like original things: an interesting floor lamp or chandelier, an incomprehensible figurine or an abstract painting. Some decorate the room with musical instruments, others with sports equipment.

How to decorate a teenager's room

It is necessary to think through and develop the design of a youth interior directly in the company of a teenager, otherwise incidents and differences in tastes cannot be avoided. It can be difficult even for a qualified designer to imagine what the interior of a teenager’s room will be like, since he cannot know the preferences, desires and inner experiences of a young adult.

In addition, a teenager is prone to constant changes, both in mood and style. Despite the difficulties of communication, you can encourage your teenager to choose the right color scheme by providing him with a map of color combinations.
