Bedroom design 19 sq. m. requires a competent approach. Here it is necessary to create a cozy and harmonious interior that will promote maximum relaxation after working days.
In order to create a comfortable environment in the sleep area, it is necessary to take into account some features:
- space parameters;
- customer color preferences;
- cost of furniture paraphernalia;
- the material from which the bedroom set is made.
Modern bedroom design includes a combination of several different textures that are in perfect harmony with each other. Most furniture models are compact in size. Thanks to this, it is possible to save free space.
Pros and cons of a wardrobe in the bedroom
Like any design decision related to the combination of various services and optimization of space, arranging a wardrobe in the bedroom has both advantages and some disadvantages. First, about the pros:
- clothes and shoes are always nearby, there is no need to walk from one room to another;
- a woman can try on outfits, completely abstracted from the world around her. No one distracts her from what she loves, she doesn’t bother anyone. A kind of meditation - just her and her small personal world, where others are not allowed to enter;
- the ability to design the exterior and interior space in the same style as the bedroom;
- there is no need to install additional cabinets, chests of drawers and other furniture that does not always fit into the interior of the room. Everything the housewife needs is in the wardrobe;
- reasonable cost, often lower than that of cabinet furniture;
- even a fairly large but properly planned dressing room can save useful bedroom space compared to furniture.
Among the disadvantages, one can highlight only the limitation in area, depending on the size of the bedroom. But this is an objective reality that must be taken into account. You should proceed from what is available. Naturally, if you have a house with an area of 300 m², it is better to arrange a separate room for clothes and shoes.
But in a two-room apartment, with all the desire and imagination, the most you can count on is a small dressing room, which is best placed in the bedroom. But even in this option, you can find the optimal solution, and it will be more rational than installing a large wardrobe, cabinets and chests of drawers.
Which stylistic direction to choose
Before choosing a stylistic direction for decorating the sleeping area, it is necessary to take into account the preferences of customers. After this, various materials, decorative details and lighting are selected.
Modern designers prefer to combine several zones into a single space. As a result, the room is more spacious and efficiently used. Before you start combining, you need to consider the layout of the bedroom. The finished space should not create a feeling of discomfort.
Bedroom - living room 19 sq. m. consists of a cozy area for receiving guests and a comfortable place to sleep. There is a large double bed here.
In addition, there is a convenient work area in the corner. Additional lighting helps compensate for the lack of sunlight.
Many people often ask the question: “What style should I choose to decorate a combined space?” Most designers prefer modern design trends. These include:
- high tech;
- minimalism;
- loft;
- modern
The interior space of the bedroom, designed in high-tech style, contains a minimal amount of decorative details. There are many mirror and glossy surfaces here. The furniture has clear angles and straight lines. The color palette ranges from black to dark red. This option is suitable for the modern generation.
Minimalism has some similarities in high-tech style. There are also furniture paraphernalia with a large number of chrome elements.
The interior of the bedroom-living room is divided between each other by a small partition that does not take up much space. Most often it is made from transparent materials or airy textiles are used to zone the territory.
The loft design direction is striking in its simplicity and sophistication. This space is suitable for the modern generation who prefers to keep up with the times.
In the reception area there are only necessary items. Basically this is: a large sofa, a coffee table and a spacious armchair. In addition, there are abstract paintings on the walls. Many hanging shelves act as a storage system.
Modern is designed for rational zoning of the bedroom. In one part of the room there is a comfortable place for sleeping and relaxing, and in the other there is a living room. The furniture has unusual shapes that amaze with their beauty. The main distinguishing feature of this direction is the abundance of glossy surfaces in the interior space.
In addition, there are no decorative details that constantly distract. Most often, furniture accessories have a transformable mechanism, which allows you to save a sufficient amount of free space.
Placement principles
Today, the Internet allows you to find a lot of ready-made bedroom designs combined with a dressing room. You can even find an option for a room with a specific standard layout. But not always ready-made solutions will satisfy the owner of the room.
We have to take into account certain nuances and change something. It is better to entrust this task to professionals, although you can try to design a bedroom with a dressing room yourself.
Zoning, style and design choice
To make the task of drawing up a project easier, you need to decide in what manner it will be completed. Yes, eclecticism is in trend today, but mixing styles requires excellent taste and professional design training, otherwise you may end up with some kind of tacky and even ugly structure.
In addition, it will be easier to work in a clearly defined direction, in accordance with the chosen style. This will not at all limit the author’s imagination, but rather will set a general concept, an understanding of where to move.
Thanks to the technique of separating the recreation area from the dressing room, you can get by with the most minimal fencing, highlighting the location not physically, but logically. To do this, use different colors of walls, lighting, podiums, mirrors, etc.
Before making a choice in favor of any design solution, study the most common types of wardrobes that are built in bedrooms.
Walls, floor, ceiling
The floor, ceiling, and walls are designed taking into account the characteristics of the room. So, for the bedroom, the height of the ceiling is of particular importance. The larger it is, the more interesting ideas can be implemented. In standard Soviet-era apartments, the so-called “Khrushchev-era” apartments, with a room height of 2.5 meters, the ceilings are simply leveled and then painted. Wallpaper is used less often, but it also requires a flat surface. Their main disadvantage is the joints, visible even to the naked eye. A worthy alternative to simple wallpaper is liquid wallpaper, which covers the surface in a single layer, without any joints.
Before designing a future room, it is necessary to take into account the individuality of each house or apartment.
Stretch ceilings guarantee a perfectly flat surface, but in return they “steal” space, of which there is already little in Khrushchev-era buildings. Therefore, tension structures are most often installed in modern apartments with high ceilings or cottages. By the way, another indisputable advantage of suspended ceilings in apartments is reliable protection against leaks. Water simply collects in the synthetic ceiling surface and remains there without causing damage to the walls, floors or furniture. True, after such “combat exercises” the ceiling will have to be changed. Another advantage of tension structures is their quick installation and reasonable cost.
The general renovation concept must be chosen before finishing work begins.
If the height allows, the ceiling is made of multi-level plasterboard. The “advantages” of this option is the ability to create an individual lighting system with many built-in small lamps. This makes it possible to create interiors that are unique in functionality and beauty.
You need to understand what colors, materials and general style should be present in the main relaxation area in the apartment.
It would seem that what could be simpler than decorating the walls in the bedroom? Probably, at least once in their life, every person has glued wallpaper or painted walls. But before you get started, consider the following points.
Developing a complete step-by-step repair plan will facilitate and speed up its completion.
First of all, the variety of wallpaper options offered: paper, vinyl, non-woven, textile and glass wallpaper.
Paper ones are the cheapest and most short-lived option. Such wallpaper is made in two or three layers and lasts 2-3 years, quickly losing its attractive appearance.
In such a matter, it is preferable to trust a professional.
Vinyl wallpaper is a more durable material. Its basis is textile or paper (for better “adhesion” to the wall). And the outer part is plastic. This system allows you to not only wash the wallpaper, but also periodically paint it if you want to update the interior. The disadvantage of the material is that it does not allow the walls to “breathe”; moisture can accumulate under it and an odor may periodically appear.
Non-woven wallpaper is intertwined cellulose fibers. Due to their porosity, they are considered an excellent environmentally friendly material. They adhere perfectly to walls and create a textured surface.
If there is no doubt about your own sense of taste, there is a way to partially borrow from different works and then create something of your own.
Textile analogues look very expensive and luxurious, but only professionals can glue them. You have to constantly monitor the amount of glue so that no stains remain on the surface. It is also recommended to vacuum the textiles periodically.
Fiberglass wallpaper is the undisputed leader in durability and manifestation of the “chameleon” syndrome. They are repainted up to 10 times. And in each case you get a new interior solution. Such wallpapers are durable and practical.
There is also a decent range of options for flooring: parquet, laminate, carpet, ceramic tiles, linoleum.
In a case like this, every detail is important.
Parquet remains a material that transcends fashion and time. This is the perfect way to create warm flooring and provide a stylish look to your room. Today we offer a huge selection of colors from dark to light, almost white. The only caveat: parquet is not suitable for an apartment with pets. Scratches will remain on the surface, and the floor will very quickly take on an unsightly appearance. In this case, it is better to use laminate. This artificial coating made of polymer materials has a protective film that ensures long-term operation.
Almost any contamination from the laminate can be removed with a “light movement of the hand.”
Another popular material for bedroom flooring is carpet. It is especially valued for its softness and warmth. It is laid over the entire surface of the floor, leaving no “bare” places and provides a decent appearance. The disadvantage of carpet is that it is difficult to maintain. You have to frequently vacuum and clean with detergent to get rid of dust.
Using ceramic tiles in the bedroom used to seem like something out of science fiction. Today it is actively used in interiors in a modern style. Moreover, today the technology of underfloor heating is actively used and the cold of the stone is no longer felt.
The general color scheme in which the bedroom will be decorated determines the stylistic direction and idea of the entire design.
The cheapest and most popular floor covering is linoleum. Affordable price, ease of operation and ease of installation – these are the indisputable advantages of this material.
Loft
A design made in a similar stylistic solution usually includes a fairly large number of metal elements. Some of them are parts of the frame, including load-bearing ones, but there are also plenty of purely decorative parts.
The main feature of such structures is simplicity and functionality. Racks, rods, and spacers are used in the interior. The style is as close as possible to minimalism, characterized by the absence of partitions, and there are not a large number of separate cabinets and niches.
A small dressing room of this type looks good in bedrooms connected to the bathroom.
The loft is an open type location; here it is especially necessary to emphasize the separation of zones. For these purposes, in addition to mirrors, glass, podiums and visualization, the technique of artificially aging the interior space is used. You can use imitation brick, untreated plaster, whitewashed walls.
TV
Many people place a TV or projector in the bedroom. This is not dictated by fashion or stylistic decisions. Everything is at your discretion. In order to combine quality - size - price, it is worth purchasing a soundbar.
Corner design
The structure is located in a free corner of the room. Doors are hinged or sliding. This design solution is applicable in rooms of any configuration, square, rectangular, or non-standard geometry. The dressing room, located in the bedroom behind the bed, at the head of the room, looks harmonious and is easy to use.
This shape allows you to create a fairly spacious space on an area of 3.5-4 m². Structures located in the corner of the room may differ in exterior and interior content.
Triangle
The most suitable solution for small rooms. From above, the structure looks like a right triangle, where the adjacent walls of the bedroom are legs, and the outer fence of the dressing room is the hypotenuse.
Cabinets, shelves, niches for shoes and hangers are located on the walls of the room, and a large mirror or bookshelves are mounted on the fence (on the side of the living room).
Boiserie
It consists of two elements - shelving, located on both sides of the interior passage, or any other doorway. Sometimes this is the only possible or the most acceptable solution. For example, in old Khrushchev-era apartment buildings, with a walk-through middle room. Suitable for bedrooms with a separate entrance to the bathroom.
They use boiserie panels to decorate the walls. This is more of a design style rather than an original design option. Among the advantages: if desired, the internal elements can be swapped and moved from one part of the structure to another.
Coupe
A wardrobe in the bedroom in the form of a wardrobe is a classic of the genre, an excellent solution for a room of any style and layout. A niche for clothes is separated from the room by sliding mirror doors.
Inside there are rods for hangers, niches, shelves, and cabinets. Usually a width of 1 m is enough, and this is enough to have a new, almost complete room at your disposal. In addition to clothes and shoes, it may also contain other necessary things: an ironing board, a vacuum cleaner, etc.
Below are photos of dressing rooms of various styles located in the bedroom.
Interior decoration
Before drawing up a bedroom project with a wardrobe, consider in detail all the nuances of the interior. The main qualities of the interior furnishings are convenience and functionality.
Of course, some changes can be made to the interior later, after the structure has been in use for some time. Experience of use will tell you what needs to be changed: add cabinets, remove unnecessary shelves, etc.
But this can be avoided by carefully considering everything at the preliminary stage. As a visual example, use a closet, chest of drawers, or other furniture that you have used before. This will make it easier to imagine the required number of niches, shelves, and rods for hangers.
Simple recommendations will help you create a convenient ergonomic layout:
- the minimum wardrobe area is 2 m², otherwise its operation will be extremely inconvenient;
- in a compartment, high under the ceiling or in a poorly accessible place, they store things that are used less often than others;
- It is better to keep small toiletries in drawers or boxes;
- At the planning stage, allocate space for storing ties, belts and scarves. For these purposes, you can purchase special accessories;
- It would not be superfluous to equip the structure with a folding ladder to facilitate access to the upper shelves;
- transparent lids of cabinets and drawers make it easier to find the right thing;
- shoes are stored downstairs, preferably in separate boxes.
With the right approach, even in a small area you can create a completely functional and spacious room for clothes and shoes.
Bed
Arranging furniture is the first and key step in decorating a bedroom. To do this, you must initially think through and choose the place where the bed will be located. It is important to choose a place so that there is access to it from three sides (the best option would be a distance of 60-80 cm from the wall or furniture). It is also necessary to ensure that the wind does not blow on people (it is not recommended to place the bed along the draft line, but if this cannot be achieved, then choose the option where the lower part of the body of the people who are sleeping is exposed to the draft).
When creating an interior, pay attention to functionality. To begin with, the arrangement of furniture is thought out, then the style that suits you is selected, and finally the color and material are chosen.
Exterior design
Having chosen a place to place the dressing room and decided what type of structure it will be, you should think about its finishing. The external cladding should look good, match the overall style of the bedroom, be comfortable and durable.
The design of the external design of the dressing room in the bedroom depends on the shape of the structure and the style of the room itself. Some conceptual solutions for the external design of the wardrobe:
- imitation of a secret room;
- separate corner dressing room located in the bedroom;
- a niche separated by a screen, curtain, doors, fence;
- in the form of a large wardrobe (paneled in alder, oak, etc., or natural wood).
These exterior options can be made in various styles. Depending on the preferences of the housewife, the designer realizes his plans in the classical style, minimalism, constructivism, hi-tech, etc.
The interior of the bedroom with a dressing room that has access to the bathroom looks quite original.
Use of the balcony
If the bedroom has a balcony, it can be used as a platform for placing a dressing room. The advantages of this option include:
- the ability to rationally manage the available area of the room;
- the presence of windows that are used as a ventilation system;
- sufficient area to accommodate not only everyday clothes, but also an outer wardrobe.
The disadvantages include:
- the difficulty of rational planning due to the small transverse dimensions of the balcony;
- the appearance of an unpleasant odor from the street, which can permeate things;
- problems when changing clothes and trying on clothes;
- significant temperature fluctuations and high humidity, which negatively affect the service life of clothing with low quality thermal and waterproofing.
When planning to organize a dressing room on the balcony adjacent to the bedroom, it is worth taking into account the specifics of the room. This design is not designed for significant loads, so you should avoid installing a massive cabinet or rack.
Light
Lighting the interior space is the most important point in arranging a clothing space. Usually there are no windows here, so you should think about high-quality, correctly selected and installed lamps.
It is desirable that the light be as close to daylight as possible. Otherwise, the chosen image outdoors will not look the same as indoors.
When installing lighting equipment, you need to remember some nuances:
- A simple and effective lighting option is LEDs placed at different levels. They provide a spectrum close to daylight, are economical and do not heat up;
- lighting fixtures installed in cabinets will make it easier to find the things you need;
- soft light, with a correctly selected distance between its sources, will visually increase the interior space;
- in addition to the main large mirror, a smaller, magnifying, illuminated one would not be superfluous;
- Small adjustable lamps mounted on rods under the ceiling look good and are very effective in use. The direction and focus of their beam can be changed.
If you have some skills, you can make a dressing room located in the bedroom with your own hands. First you need to think through all the nuances and competently draw up a project. By working independently, you can not only save money, but also take into account and implement all the customer’s wishes.
Lighting
There should be as much light as possible in the dressing room. It is better not to experiment with such an important factor; take care of the availability of natural and artificial lighting. To achieve an ideal result, use a large chandelier in the center of the ceiling and spotlights in certain areas. Lamps are also built around the perimeter of the ceiling and into the walls to illuminate mirrors, shoe racks, and shelves.
Designers recommend using movable floor lamps in spacious dressing rooms. For small storage areas, lamps with clothespins are the best option. Such devices are easy to remove and move to any chosen location.
