A modest room with an area of 14 square meters can hardly be called luxury or a vast field for the realization of designer imagination. If it is just a living room, then there will not be any particular difficulties, but incorporating a full-functional bedroom into it will require a creative approach.
In the photo - the design of a bedroom-living room of 14 square meters. m with two functional areas.
Separate room
If this is a separate room in an apartment, then its design needs to be approached from a practical point of view. It must have all the necessary furniture, have enough free space for movement and be suitable for its purpose, without combining two zones.
It is better to decorate the room in a single style, without mixing them together. Any options are possible here - from high-tech, which is minimalist in itself, to a complex baroque or classical style.
Glass and mirrors will visually expand the space, and cool shades of walls and textiles will fill the room with pleasant coolness.
Style decision
It is reasonable to design a small room in one style, avoiding eclecticism. It will be appropriate if the space needs to be zoned.

The character and needs of the owner determine the interior. A bedroom intended for one person will definitely acquire a male or female face in the same style.

Hi-tech, minimalism, and constructivism are popular today.
Having become traditional for small spaces, they are universal for both sexes of any age. Such interiors can be called basic, because they are practical, orderly, laconic, harmonious, functional, modern, cozy.
Neutral colors: beige, brown - in combination with black will create a pleasant and calming environment.

For people who value raw, textured materials and are inspired by interiors a la warehouse/garage with open communications, a bedroom in the loft, modern, avant-garde, and techno styles is suitable. Contrast is the basis of such compositions:
- minimum things - maximum free space;
- the solidity of the furniture – its mobility;
- rough, massive decoration of walls and ceilings - delicate, bright textiles;
- a large bed as the main object of the interior - large windows, false windows, partitions.
The color scheme of these styles - blue, metallic, red - will not suit everyone's taste. Street motifs in the bedroom are also the prerogative of a narrow circle of people.

A free, fresh, light interior will be presented in Mediterranean, Scandinavian, eco styles.
The blue, green, white colors of these settings, in which the caressing wind, sea breeze, whisper of foliage, transparency of waterfalls and coldness of the mountains shine through, will make the interior calm and strict.
Against this background, ethnic motifs look good: original accessories, pieces of furniture, paintings.

Provence, country, oriental style will surround you with coziness and comfort.

The atmosphere of the east in the bedroom is attractive and romantic. You can achieve it by combining bright colors and geometric shapes. A circle and a square, when combined, form a whimsical ornament, perfect for square rooms.

If you have a weakness for a classic interior, which cannot be fully created on 14 m², then use a luxurious chandelier, a massive chest of drawers and an armchair.
Each style dictates its own color scheme. Let's see which combinations will be the most winning.
Design options
Modern design gives preference to lightweight structures, light colors and transformable furniture that can be placed in any convenient order.
- In the photo the room is 14 sq. m. shows options for placing furniture in dark colors.
- The multifunctionality of the cabinets makes the room seem larger.
- If you want to design a room in contrasting colors, you need to accurately calculate the percentage of each color so as not to overload the space and create discomfort.
- The best ratio is 70:30.
For example, most of the items are made in dark colors - brown, burgundy or dark green; then it is better to make textiles, carpets, walls in light colors - beige, peach or powdery pink.
Colors
Improved room lighting can be achieved by using light colors in the decoration. Walls decorated with pastel wallpaper or Venetian plaster of a similar palette will add calm and comfort to the atmosphere.
If the windows face north, then warm brown colors are most preferable. When placed in the south, it is better to use cool shades: snow-white, mint, blue.
You can add personality to the interior by highlighting one of the walls with a different color or by placing bright objects. The ideal choice for the bedroom would be a green color.
It is associated with nature and tranquility, promoting quality relaxation and sleep. You can combine green tones with each other, include other colors and use them in any style.
Accents in the interior
To prevent the interior from becoming boring, you can periodically change any accessories in bright colors. But there should be very few of them and they should not be large. These could be sofa cushions, small vases or figurines, funny little things and trinkets.
Curtains, a blanket on a bed or sofa, or a panel on the wall can also serve as a bright accent. Niche-shelves with lighting in the wall look very impressive, on which you can place books, necessary items, or just memorable souvenirs.
Such shelves can also solve the problem of evening lighting, when you don’t want to light the central chandelier. A volumetric panel made using a special mass and painted to match the color of the walls will also look unusual and luxurious.
Design techniques
There are several ideas that will help increase the functionality of your bedroom. Experts advise paying attention, first of all, to inconspicuous smooth furniture facades and light door leaves without handles. This will make it possible to highlight the dressing room without compromising the design.
It is easy to arrange a bedroom combined with a living room by applying zoning or installing a hanging bed. The original “attic” model is also suitable for a teenager. Below you can place a sofa or place a desk.
Having separated part of the room with a closet, it is appropriate to equip a work area. It is advisable to allocate a loggia or niche for an office.
To get the effect of a high ceiling, experts recommend choosing a bed and other furniture without legs for a small bedroom, and decorating the walls with wallpaper with a vertical pattern. To add depth to the space, use a dark finish on one of the walls.
Layout secrets
Successful layout of a room of 14 sq. m. is built on the most precisely selected household items. The furniture in the room has many shelves, cabinets, compartments and drawers, which allows you to place all the necessary items.
Accessories, textiles and lighting are selected so as not to create a ripple effect. A harmonious combination of colors and shapes is the basis of the layout in a small apartment.
In order not to visually reduce the space of the room with oversized cabinets, a good solution would be to make a cabinet in the form of a solid wall on the side of the front door.
In this case, the space above the door will be in the form of mezzanines. Such a closet will allow you to place absolutely all the necessary things. This solution is well suited for a one-room apartment.
Lighting
The bedroom is the place where we meet the sunrise and see off the sunset. That's why natural light is rare here.
Artificial lighting should be:
- unobtrusive,
- soft,
- create an intimate atmosphere.

Convenience of the location of switches is a priority here. If there is central lighting in the form of a chandelier, then a switch is needed not only at the entrance to the room, but also at the bed.
A chandelier is not a necessary component of a bedroom. Instead, you can use LED spotlights and various combinations of ceiling lamps.
Sconces at the headboard/night lights on bedside tables are an integral part of the interior.

Lighting is required in the dressing area/closet, in the work area, in the make up area. Neon bed lighting, fluorescent paints on the walls, mirror/TV/painting lighting are suitable as decorative lighting.

Bedroom
To decorate a bedroom of 14 sq.m. you need to start from the bed. It is better to choose it in a minimalist style, without excessive decoration. There should also be a closet with shelves and a dressing table. It is better to choose a color scheme for a small bedroom in soothing colors.
A bedroom that is too light is not conducive to relaxation, and a bedroom that is too dark is depressing. Colors such as lilac, soft peach, pale blue, and soft green look nice in the bedroom.
If preference is given to dark shades, then they should be noble, not oppressive, and best used only as accents.
Color design
Use warm colors for rooms facing north, and cool colors for rooms facing south.
For the bedroom, it is recommended to choose light, pastel shades that have a beneficial effect on the nervous system, soothe, help you relax, and fall asleep.
But all people are different. There are those who find pale, calm tones irritating and depressing. Therefore, there is no need to talk about the universality of color combinations. There is only an individual approach here!

Create a warm coziness
To create a warm coziness in a small apartment or in a small room, you need to correctly calculate the workload of its space.
It is very important to maintain harmony in color schemes, style points and furniture arrangement. Here you need to make the most of every centimeter, trying, however, to leave enough space for movement.
Kitchen + living room
The advantage of kitchen-living room design is, of course, space saving. However, this solution is not suitable for everyone, but it’s still worth checking out.
Kitchen-living room design
. Several things can serve as an accent in the interior. Don't be afraid to take risks.
By combining the kitchen with the living room, we get many advantages at once. First of all, a space filled with air and light. Another plus for parents is that everything is at hand and the children are in sight. And there will only be one TV, because very often we spend extra money to buy two TVs at once - for the living room and for the kitchen. There is twice as much space for the dining area! A little advice: when choosing a dining table, expect that each person needs at least 70 cm of space.
