Design studio apartment of 40 square meters. m

House or apartment - a place where people come to work, where a rest from the hustle and which comfort, creates a mood and gives strength for the next day. If the house is large, in the same room can accommodate an office, another child in the third bedroom, a dressing room with a kitchen will take considerable yardage and a place of honor. And what to do if a small apartment, but still need to arrange - the same dressing room and dining area, select a place to rest and receive guests? Design studio apartment of 40 square meters. m. - is, above all, a set of convenience, practicality and economy of space in a small footage. There is a residential real estate, with an area of ​​100 square meters. m., and more, but there are flats least 30 sq. m. Thus, 40 sq. m. - it is not so little, if properly set priorities and use the maximum free space, without weighing it and leaving the appearance of the internal volume.

That must be provided before the start of repair

• Select the overall style apartment, or at least, a common element. This can be an apartment in the city-style: clear lines, the combined coverage for the walls, detail, turning the room into the kitchen, for example, a certain type of flower, or the theme of "Paris", "country in the world." Very impressive look of minimalism in design, but it is suitable if the apartment is home for 1-2 people.
• Determine the number of required zones to relax, work, cooking, eating, toilet and bath. Think about the number and location of outlets, the need to provide underfloor heating on the balcony and in the places covered by tile or granite. Necessary to have outlets in every room, including the bathroom and the hallway, and ideally in all the corners, because even the most perfect modeling and design, faced with the realities of execution, require constant monitoring and adjustments, and perhaps certain fundamental changes location elements.
• Stocks of building materials "in store", prior to the stage where they will be useful, be sure to save receipts from the stores to return the remains. When buying, make sure that later will be able to buy more missing. Sales and promotions on the high-quality material - that's great, but where then take the wood tile, part which inadvertently spoiled master, if you took away the remains, and a new order and wait for more than one week.
• treat attentively to the selection of the organization, which will deal with the design and build: read the reviews on the site, check out their work - although it does not give 100% quality guarantee the work performed. With "friends of friends" it is better not to get involved, "Wonderful Wizard, which is cheap, almost nothing, made a perfect repair aunt of my friend... "- it is a utopia, maybe you are lucky, but the prices are slightly lower and the control, if the project is complex, much more. Perfect design and repair - do yourself, no one knows so well your needs and vision of the concept of convenience and comfort of the apartment.
• Provide alternate accommodations while repairs. the expected timing of the work is very often different, and in the direction of increasing. Wanted laminate and linoleum was - get ready for what will be necessary to level the floor, and that's a plus month. We decided to install a heated floor and old wiring - wiring change and extend for another week! Design and repair - a creative work, but still brings a lot of dust and dirt in which to live is simply impossible.

Design

Getting to the transformation of one-bedroom apartment, you need to clearly know that would like to get in the end: bachelor apartment - a place for rest from work and to bring myself up, or a multifunctional space - to keep a large number of pastime people. In the case where there is a child, it is important the organization of gaming space and compliance with safety conditions. One room, with proper distribution of furniture can be a minimum of two, maximum of several self-contained areas. In the presence of the balcony in the room, it is possible to create an ideal option for working or playing area, provided the appropriate heat insulation, and for children, the presence of warm mat or floor heating. Do not forget the built-in furniture: closet to the ceiling is very roomy, except for the distribution in it everyday clothes and the top, you can provide options such as:

• rotating rack for shoes;
• folding ironing board;
• job in one of the departments;
• place to the ironing board and the dryer, a vacuum cleaner;
• wall mount for the bike, other sports equipment, the absence of free balcony, basement, but you have an active lifestyle.

Important! Think over the little things, use the space wisely!

Remove extra wall

Design studios is significantly different from a simple one-room apartment. This layout gives the style of the room, but it requires more careful and think through the design elements. Ideal for one or two people and opportunities to realize their fantasies. First, decide on a necessary, that is problematic to transfer to another place - a bathroom. Next, we consider the allocation of options zones so as to increase the functionality: split into sectors, making decorative partitions if necessary. zone location options depend on the shape of the studio: a square, a rectangle or a non-standard form, for example, a trapezoid. If the design of the apartment provides accommodation only one person can save a lot of space, not coming up with where to put a double bed, giving it a place for a dressing room. The ideas and the basic laws of the interior for the studio 40 square meters. M., Depending on the shape of the apartment:

Square	Rectangle	Nonstandard (trapezoid, "d" shaped)
Isolation circular area in the center - for a bedroom or dressing room	public rooms are located closer to the entrance	Filling corners functional elements, visual alignment space
Isolation of long square for recreation areas, and combined with it - for living	Bedroom, work area organized in the depths of the apartment	harping asymmetry
Divide by 2 equal the rectangle: the public rooms and spacious living room	We use a small rounded corners for expansion space	The division "d" shaped apartment on the 3 squares - Far from representing a place for the bedroom

Zoning or solution of all problems

The division of space in the working area, with high functionality, it is not uncommon for a long time and not a fashion but a necessity. The smaller squaring the dwelling, the greater the challenge facing the designer planning Interior room apartment of 40 square meters. meters. The main difficulty is not to distribute space evenly, but in the fact that this distribution was most effective, thoughtful. Making the zoning area by yourself, you need to pay special attention to the definition of the functions which should be perform the apartment, be sure to discuss in advance with all family members, what elements need to ensure that each of the them. When planning must take into account features of the apartment: sewage arrangement, ventilation shafts.

Key elements of zoning:

• Hallway. This part of the room should at least consist of Mats rug hangers for things. Do not be amiss to mirror ottoman, ottomans are now very popular with shelves for shoes, another method for conserving space. Cosiness will give the housekeeper and the original hanger in the door openings.
  Corridor. If possible, we reduce this part of the apartment to minimize or remove the general - a waste of space not carrying any functional.
• Bathroom. Toilet with bath, as a rule, is combined in a small apartment, but it makes sense to separate the toilet from the bath a small partition for hygienic purposes. If you stay in the apartment for more than 1 person, there is a sense of zoning bathrooms 2 separate areas, making the entrance of the bath. Location change is not practical.
• Kitchen area. Place cooking and kitchen units - only the wall, where the ventilation shaft. A good range hood in the kitchen - is vital if there is no direct access to a balcony or window, the hood becomes the only way to get rid of odors outside.
• Closet / wardrobe. No matter how big a cupboard or closet was not, over time, there will be no room, so select the maximum possible room for him. Sometimes, it makes sense, instead of one bulky cabinet, make 2-3 small, in different sides of the apartment - it is more expensive but more convenient.
• Bedroom. If you want - you can even afford a double bed. With proper placement of its existence will be known only to the owner of the apartment: sliding doors, shelving, decorative partitions - the comfortable privacy options are many.
• Work zone. At least - folding shelf for a laptop, a maximum of full-time jobs with the meter on the desk, shelves, a chair. It's worth noting that this should not be adjacent to the kitchen or bathroom space and more private, the most remote from the common areas.
• Children. The concept of children, children - it's all the space of the room. When interior design studio of 40 square meters. m. you can donate dressing, limiting the cabinet, but to allocate a minimum of 8 sq.m. for recreation and child games.

Important! Unaccounted need for any of the family members, can negate all the great ideas and original solutions.

Especially for a family plan with a baby

Design studio apartment of 40 square meters, if there is a child, it commits to allocate a corner. Even if for now he is still just a baby, it is better to provide in advance than a couple of years to re-do the repairs. For a full family life must be a clear division of space for parents and a room for the baby. Different projects, offering double bed - for parents with a child, cohabitation seems to have their artists simply do not have children. The most successful will be the location of the zone of parents and children in opposite corners of the apartment: respect, attention to their own territory, the maximum possible noise reduction, significantly reduce the quantity. It is appropriate to use the living room as the parents' room: If you want a place where to receive guests, and at night there is a secluded place to rest and sleep. With this plan lounge-bedroom parent and child room should not be passing.

Living room

As a rule, a stylish living room - it's a minimalist. Therefore, when designing a 40 sq. m. apartment can give it is not so much space. If we make the living part of the kitchen, it will look organically partition in the form of a bar. In the case of allocation of a separate living area, it will be a minimum include a sofa, TV, audio, stereo system, provide good HDMI cable for viewing movies over the Internet. Coffee table in a small living room is better not to use or if you really want, is limited to small, symbolic piece of furniture. Rug in the living room in front of a sofa will give comfort, will expand the space. The walls are of different size and texture, too, would be appropriate, allow visually win some places. Built-in shelves, different by type, color, lighting - it is able to give a living style, to make the time spent in it as pleasant and comfortable.

Bedroom

Place for a good rest - it is a necessity. There are adherents of a night's sleep in the living room, but even they admit that a double bed with orthopedic mattress is much more attractive than more durable than even the most comfortable, large sofa. Constant unfolding and picking up a berth at the time when you want to just relax, wrapped in a blanket, exhausting. Choosing a design project of an apartment of 40 square meters. m. first we realize the need for a bedroom, and then convince the those who need a closet or hallway. Next, a priori, the bedroom should be a lonely place. Even if it is assumed that the person will live alone, no one is immune from the arrival of relatives and friends. And if you plan to live in the apartment of a young couple, the "cozy nest" - is a must. To save space, very convenient to use with a lifting mechanism for beds. Consider the basic options for the bedroom department, although it may be only a bed with shelves or panels above his head:

• Sliding door. Traditional will be inconvenient in the opening, pick up a lot of space.
• Shelving / partition with shelves. Practical, convenient - when placing the bed and rack must be provided that the bed is located so that when entering the room prior rack maximum covered bed, but do not overload room.
• Curtains. Last century? Here and there! Not only in fashion clothes back.
• Podium with sliding wardrobes. He picks up a lot of space, but it looks impressive, stylish.
• The design in the form of a bed in the living room above the sofa. It saves space, and from the aesthetic point depends on its design and individual preferences.
• Glass separation bedroom and living room. Functional symbolic, but it looks fresh, boldly.
• Decorative partitions. Typically, made of wood, can be with glass elements.

Kitchen

A place where you'll be ready - this is a very important part of the apartment. cooking space assumes its, internal zoning. If the kitchen combined with living room, special attention should be paid to high-quality extracts, better even larger area than stated by the manufacturer. Location kitchens tied to the location of ventilation shafts, when designing cuisine options it is necessary to consider. Usually, their locations are shown in terms of the apartment, as this information can be obtained from the management company or the developer, if drafted kitchen buildings. Built better to do "under the ceiling", increasing their capacity and practicality. Between the sink and the hob leave working surface beforehand we envisage location appliances, sockets for them. "Kitchen islands" look very fresh and original, can significantly save space when placed correctly.

Bathroom

Make a bathroom in a studio apartment practical and comfortable it is possible, even necessary. The toilet is placed closer to the sewage system, but for the dumb rule it should not be taken: it can be placed in a different location must have sufficient drainage angle of inclination. Installation - it's stylish, but it is not new, saves space, looks more aesthetically pleasing. If you decide to partition off the toilet from the bath, you can either confine symbolic partition pursuing hygienic purpose or do private full bathroom with bath entrance. If it is possible and necessary, immediately envisage place for the water heater, at least 30 liters or flow. The color of actual tiles in pastel colors and shades of gray, fresh looks fine checkered, red and black plaid. To optimize bathroom space use the following features:

• Placing the washing machine under the sink. Square sink with a duct for the washing machine saves space, is a convenient solution.
• The space above the toilet fill a closet or shelves ergonomic. With areas for broom, accessories for floor care.
• Mirror. A large mirror over the sink, to expand the space, give style. If you want to use the shelves with mirrored door, it is necessary to provide for their shallow depth.
• Pipes hide in a box, which is sutured and shelves do not forget about requisitioning the window.
• With areas for dirty laundry. Little things often fall out of focus, in use, there are domestic issues in violation of the appearance.

Combining with balcony - expanding horizons

Balcony or loggia - this is a great opportunity to increase the footage of the apartment. A qualitative insulation, ideally: underfloor heating, battery removal warmed on a balcony, you might think the appointment of an additional 2 sq.m. and more living space. If you can not install the floor heating, the rescue mat with a long nap.

Consider the basic options for merging with a balcony, their functionality:

• Workplace. Full isolated area for work or training, can be separated by sliding doors.
• Kitchen / part of the kitchen. Divide the kitchen into two zones: the main - for cooking in the apartment, the second - for a meal on the balcony, or in the doorway between the kitchen and a balcony. There is another option - to make a refrigerator or a part of the kitchen with an oven to a balcony.
• Bar. Bar, mini-bar, a night view of the city - a romantic, relaxing place.
• Rest zone. Sofa or chair with a folding shelf for a laptop will allow privacy, a distraction.

Important! Even with the high-quality thermal insulation of the balcony is not suitable for a berth in the cold season.

Consider a few projects

Studio 40 sq.m.

This option has a flat rectangular shape. The sleeping area is located on the far side of the entrance, partition blinds are. The living room is combined with the workplace. One is struck by light wood details that are combined and divided into sectors apartment at the same time. Using pastel colors in the interior it is necessary to dilute the severity of their vivid detail: pillows, crockery, colored vases, paintings or photos. Bar in the living room - a practical option. A large mirror in the bath increases the space, square sink with a pedestal enables vmese into it and towels on the one hand, and the toilet paper on the other. Particular attention should be paid to the isolated soul - a hygienic and stylish. The bath is dominated by white, gray and beige colors. Apartment surprising abundance of different cabinets, departments. Quite practical, stylish alternative.

The open layout of the apartment of 40 square meters. m with transparent partitions

Another combination of gray and wood - a stylish classic! A large area with considerable functionality is highlighted by a bathroom. Spectacular gray pattern on the wall in combination with white tiles again convince you of this win-win combination of colors. One of the rare variants with a spacious entrance hall, combine the dressing room. Most of the apartments consists of two zones: the first - the kitchen and dining room, the second - working and sleeping areas, represented an elevated position on the podium. Design of an apartment deliberately a bit sloppy: chaotic hanging lamp above the working area, multi-format picture above the headboard. Bed from sofa separates weightless glass wall. Very interesting color choices floor surface next to the sofa - bright accents that bring life to the interior. Apron in the kitchen matches the overall style apartment, continuing the theme of asymmetry.

The apartment is in the "loft" style

Draw inspiration from the style of "loft"! Repairs in the building - is very expensive, especially for young people, only to start an independent life. Under a brick wall in combination with gray relief surfaces. Least complex designs, the use of an updated old furniture and things. Thus, in this embodiment, a fairly roomy kitchen with a spectacular high massive wooden table with bar stools. In a separate zone of a bedroom. It may seem that the interior is very simple, relaxed, but in spite of the waste materials which make up designer clothes, the apartment does not look cheap, and looks for youth. Pretty standard bathroom with shower and installation of the style of "loft" resembles a brick wall decorated with pastel colors and shades.

Apartment for three

For a family with two children. In this case, the zoning due to the large number of residents, had to spend, not focusing on the needs and the required minimum functionality. Balcony insulated, have arranged a work area of ​​one of the children. For the second child erected a podium with a bed, desk. There are a huge number of spacious closets. The original element is a black board with shelves in the kitchen. Little pretty strict modern kitchen with a two-way mirror and apron lights in a variety of glasses. Very actual floor covering with fashionable small black-and-white pattern. The same pattern is framed bathroom, soaked in "minimalist" style. Eye-catching design of the walls, the lack of free space, on the contrary, visually enhances the room.

Apartment project with transforming furniture

Simply ingenious variant of apartment design. The vast empty space, the illusion of a minimalist room. In fact, very spacious closets with built-in sofa in the living room, the same huge closet on the other hand, a niche for the TV. The partition between the bathroom and the kitchen is transformed into a desktop with one hand and lunch on the other. Double Bed with lifting mechanism rather blend in with the ceiling. Complemented by wooden partition with glass sliding doors. The combination of white and beige diluted with another, a green tint. Natural materials and colors in harmony, emphasizing the minimalist appearance of the apartment. Interesting solutions with the correct geometry of the expanded space. It is noteworthy that work desk transforms into a larger - for receiving guests.

Design of an apartment in the Scandinavian style

Bright design feature of this apartment - a bed with shelves above the sofa. This kind of loft frees up space on the floor is not visually very absorbing space due to the performance of white walls, as well as a light floor. The wall between the bathroom and the kitchen has a large window. Interior details of large, darker but soaked in colors. The kitchen continues the general style apartments. Distinguished chairs and chandelier. Such a mixture of modernity and tradition is mixed impression. One must have exquisite taste, sense of style, to arrange their own apartment in such a way to avoid paying, finding balance between the two eras. Bathroom adhere to the same strict style: gray floor, white tiles with gray grouting. Total floor without isolation of the shower stall - increases the space.

Odnushki of doing one-bedroom apartment

This is one of the options of how to intelligently organize space for a family with two children. More boldly playing with color. The design of the apartment provides a large number of cabinets in different corners of the apartment. Kitchen and living room combined in the studio. Bedroom overall, but is divided into a recreation area parents and separate children's bunk bed. Joint master bedroom is made in the "marine" style. Living a more elegant air, preference is given to the warm tones and light designs. A small bright kitchen diluted bright apron, giving room juiciness. Even large clock on the wall emphasize some lightheadedness and warmth of the room. In the same warm tones hall. The bathroom space is expanded as much as possible by filling mirrored cabinets over the sink, washing machine.
