Interior of a small bedroom

The most comfortable and comfortable bedroom is a small one. There is no place for fuss and loud sounds. And to create a comfortable space for rest and sleep is not as difficult as it may seem.

The problem of small bedrooms excites not only residents of apartments with a typical layout. From crowdedness, Londoners, Muscovites, and New Yorkers alike suffer equally. World-famous Western design gurus came up with not one, not two, but hundreds of various projects.

We choose the style of the interior for the bedroom

Small rooms seem to be designed for decoration in a simple rustic style. Needless to say, no one requires you to put a spinning wheel in a corner and read at the beams, as it was in the Russian villages. But the homespun cloth, very nice and simple objects made of natural materials will help to turn the bedroom into the most cozy place in the world.

For categorical opponents of the rustic style in any of its manifestations, a low-key Classics or Hi-tech style will suit.

Important! Unfortunately, the project of a ten-meter bedroom in the trendy directions of the Chalet or Loft will not work out - they naturally and organically look only when decorating large spaces. But individual items and elements of these styles can be unobtrusively inscribed in almost any interior.

Characteristics of different styles:

• Modern - comfort, practicality, a combination of elements from different styles;
• Classics - complex shapes and patterns, a large bed with a headboard, textiles, luxury and richness of the composition;
• Provence - natural materials, pastel colors, floral motifs, all sorts of trinkets;
• Japanese style - black, red, white plus neutral tones, the unity of philosophy and style, only natural materials, absolutely nothing superfluous;
• Minimalism - pastel and elegant colors and a few accents, functionality, simple shapes.

Modern, or modern style

Practicality of design is a requirement of the present. And the desire for clean lines and simplicity manifests itself more and more with the increase in the speed of life and the complexity of the tasks that appear before us every day. And there is simply nowhere to place complex and dimensional structures in a small bedroom. The smaller the room is the objects, the more spacious it seems. It is on this principle and "works" design in a modern style.

Advantages of modern style:

• Comfort and convenience of furniture;
• No complicated lighting requirements;
• Technological novelties are well combined with this design direction;
• Any materials can be used - natural and synthetic;
• Space for imagination - this style can breed a trendy and traditional interior items.

Important! Modern is a universal style that is suitable for any premises, regardless of their purpose and size.

Classic bedroom

In the designs of classical styles, experts try to replicate the luxury and comfort of the bedrooms of the emperors. The main accent of the room is a bed with a rather high headboard. Not even a bed, but a real bed, which is not intended for lunch, but for indulging in idle rest. If you like a rich finish, lots of ruches and curtains, soft pillows and large beds with a headboard - a classic interior will be a wonderful solution.

To make a bedroom in the classical style, use:

• A large number of textiles - from draperies on the walls to handmade carpets, from canvases and bedspreads on the bed to stacked curtains;
• Snow white color that emphasizes the status of the owner of the apartment;
• Massive bed, always with a large headboard( often generously decorated);
• All interior items form a single composition.

Important! In a small bedroom, a classic interior can create a sense of tightness and clutter. Therefore, it is important for such a project to pay special attention and to think through the composition well.

Bedroom in the style of Provence

Where will the romantic notes be more appropriate than in the bedroom? And which style can be more romantic than Provence?

The design of the best traditions of medieval France is pastel colors, flowers on prints and vases, furniture from natural wood and all sorts of cute souvenirs on the shelves. Slightly old-fashioned, but airy and light interior will give an opportunity to at least briefly forget about all the complexities of modern life.

The key feature of the interior of Provence is its naturalness. Here everything should be clear and simple, without pathos and superfluous pretentiousness, after all Provence is one of the variations of the village style. So - silk curtains should be replaced with calico in a delicate floret, and if the floor is not covered with natural parquet, then at least a laminate that mimics the aged tree well.

Little Japan

Japan is not a country, but a little philosophy. The idea of ​​closeness to nature, simplicity and the desire to understand oneself is reflected in design. Design in the Japanese style is all that is necessary, but at the same time, nothing superfluous:

• It is better to avoid technological materials here - wood is more preferable. In contrast to the bedroom in the style of Provence, in a room in the Japanese style, silk is the very thing. Try to think: what materials were available to the inhabitants of Japan in the 18th century? Wood, bamboo, porcelain, stone and silk thread. They should be used to the maximum when decorating a room.
• The colors of the interiors in the Japanese style - black, red and white and complementary neutral gray. The room can be made warmer by adding restrained natural shades - gentle beige, brown, coffee with milk. The Japanese-style bedroom is one of the few interiors where black furniture will be in place.

How to make a bedroom in this style:

• Quite strong, but dimmed lighting.
• Natural materials.
• Nothing superfluous - every piece of interior should have a meaning, purpose and its own specific place.
• Decoration matching the idea. You can sit on the shelf doll in national attire, hang on the walls of Japanese fans, add a screen - but all these items should directly or indirectly apply to Japan.
• Simple forms of furniture. Excesses in such an interior look ridiculous.

Style Minimalism

Minimalism in something similar to the Japanese style. For these two directions, the rejection of superfluity, the emphasis on free space and the desire for simplicity of form are characteristic.

It can be said that Minimalism is an international variation on the theme of brevity in design. Fans of non-constructive luxury and lush classics Minimalism is unlikely to like. But residents of small apartments in panel houses will be able to appreciate it.

Important! This style is preferred by many business people who are prone to organization, order in absolutely everything.

Variations on the theme of Minimalism can be a huge amount. This is a high-tech Hi-tech with novelties of design, metallic shades, and Ethnic, where Minimalism still has a craving for natural materials.

Important! Unlike the Japanese style, Minimalism allows a wider palette of colors and bright accents.

How to choose furniture?

The choice of furniture for a bedroom, especially if the room is small, turns into a real problem. Whatever one may say, and without a bed and a closet in the bedroom can not do. A full-sized bedroom suite with dressing-table, bedside tables in a small bedroom will look ridiculous. Therefore, try to abandon the whole set of furniture in favor of individual items.

Furniture( if you do not plan to equip a room in Japanese style), it is better to choose lighter colors that will not "eat" space.

Cabinet

The most successful option will be a built-in closet. Opening doors will not interfere with moving around the room. A mirror finish of the cabinet will help visually expand the room. The less noticeable it will be against the background of the walls, the better.

Important! If the layout assumes a wall niche, it can result in a wonderful wardrobe.

Bed

Even if your bedroom is in classic style, it is worth paying attention to the bed without the legs. The lower your bed, the more free space is left above it, and the less the bed is allocated against the general background. Elements of construction, bedspreads, as in the case with the cabinet, should be in harmony.

Important! To save extra 20-40 centimeters, get a one-and-a-half bed( 160-180 cm) instead of a double.

Bedside cabinets

It is better to refuse these interior items altogether. They can be replaced with hanging shelves. However, placing shelves above the headboard, be very careful. Design by design, and accidentally dropped from the shelf of the object can for a long time discourage the desire to take care of the beauty of the interior, switching thoughts to health.

Fixtures

Instead of ceiling chandeliers, floor lamps it is better to use recessed wall lights. So, in the room there will not be additional cluttering space elements, and the level of illumination can be easily adjusted.
