There is not much living space. But this axiom often affects the owners of spacious apartments in a bad way - large areas are spent irrationally. But the owners of small apartments are accustomed to saving every centimeter of space and already know by heart all the ways of visually expanding space and effective planning. Given the ongoing rise in real estate prices (especially in large cities), many of us can consider it a blessing to own even a small, but separate one-room apartment. And it is necessary to equip this dwelling with maximum practicality, comfort and efficiency. Not forgetting about modern trends and personal preferences in interior design. The task is not easy, but doable. Moreover, over the years, designers have gained considerable experience in creating ergonomic, functional and outwardly attractive design projects for one-room apartments. We bring to your attention a kaleidoscope of ideas for creating a multifunctional interior of a small area and we hope that it will help you create an original and convenient design of your own apartment.
Design ideas for decorating a small home
Before you start planning repairs in a one-room apartment, you need to decide on the number of functional segments:
- will the kitchen be combined with the room to increase the total area and create an open-plan interior (this may require not only the demolition of walls and dismantling of doorways, but also the transfer of communication systems);
- decide on the number of zones in the living room - a segment of sleep and relaxation, a video zone, a workplace, a children's corner;
- it is also necessary to find out whether it is possible to increase the total area by adding a loggia;
- in the "Khrushchev" there is a pantry that can be converted into a built-in wardrobe, thereby unloading the room and saving you from the need to install a large storage system for the wardrobe of the whole family.
If in fact it is not always possible to change the number of free meters, then it is not difficult to achieve a visual expansion of the space using the following design techniques:
- one of the easiest and most popular ways is to use a light palette. In order to make the room seem larger, but at the same time it does not look shapeless (which happens with the total use of a light tone for all surfaces), use the following layout by tone - the ceiling is the lightest, the walls are one or two shades darker, and the flooring is contrastingly dark;
- glossy, glass and mirror surfaces will also help create a light and fresh image of the room, slightly shifting the boundaries of the small area of \u200b\u200byour only room;
- in small spaces, it is necessary to give preference to furnishing simple and concise models. Any manufacturer has in its arsenal a line of compact, but at the same time functional and incredibly practical models of sofas and armchairs, storage systems and attributes for them;
- reduce the use of decor to a minimum, this does not mean that the entire environment should be minimalist, devoid of decorations, but you will have to abandon the floor elements, preferring the dosed use of wall decorative elements;
- small spaces especially need adequate lighting. If it is very rare to increase window openings to increase the flow of natural light, then it is simply necessary to provide the room with several sources of artificial lighting. With the help of the lighting system, you can not only zone the space, but also decorate it.
In small rooms, you have to use the whole arsenal of useful design techniques for the correct distribution of space and its visual increase. In the course are also light shades of the color palette of decoration and furniture, the use of pieces of furniture made to fit the room and fit perfectly into it, the use of transformer mechanisms and staying true to the principles of minimalism.
The combined use of white shades for surface decoration and the installation of mirror planes as part of the finish, allows you to create maximum illumination even in a room located on the north side of the building. The snow-white environment is best "diluted" with the integration of wooden surfaces and furnishings in warm, natural colors - from pastel to dark chocolate.
No less effect to create a light, airy image of the room can be achieved by using glass and plastic interior elements. Transparent plastic and glass seem to dissolve in space. A dining group or a coffee table, a desk or a console - all these items will not weigh down the design of a single room if they have a transparent texture. For the modern style of decorating the room, such elements are perfect as well as possible.
In shared spaces, every available advantage must be used. For example, if the ceilings in your apartment are above average, then using this design feature is a must. Built-in storage systems under the ceiling are impractical only at first glance. To get to them, you need to use a ladder or at least a chair. But after all, you can store household items in such lockers, which are taken out once a season or even used as needed.
The high ceiling of the apartment can be used to create an additional residential tier. A sleeping place as a loft bed for adults is a reality of our time. The lack of square meters can be more than compensated by the creation of the second level. It is only important to entrust this task to specialists who can not only correctly calculate the load, but also perform all work with a quality guarantee. By moving the sleeping area to the upper tier, you free up the main space for arranging the living room, dining room and kitchen.
Transforming furniture can greatly simplify the life of those who are forced to have a living room, a bedroom, a workplace and, possibly, a kitchen with a dining room in one room. A folding bed, which is hidden behind the front of the closet during the day, unfolds into a full-fledged sleeping place for two at night. Folding tabletops, which can serve both for organizing a dining area and a workplace. All these devices, which can hide in the closet during the reception, serve the hosts to create a comfortable environment after they leave. But it is important to remember that each folding mechanism has its own maximum load limit. When making furniture with folding mechanisms or buying ready-made solutions, it is important not to save on fittings - after all, all elements will be put into action daily and even several times a day.
When creating interiors for small spaces in which several functional segments need to be connected, many designers are inspired by Scandinavian style ideas. Despite the fact that this style loves spacious and bright rooms, its motifs can also be used to decorate small apartments. A reasonable share of minimalism, the creation of the most practical, but at the same time comfortable environment, simple and concise solutions in terms of furniture and “the green light for using decor that is dear to the heart to bring coziness to a home – these are the main ideas that attract designers and their customers.
Studio apartment or combining a kitchen with a room
Combining all the functional segments of the home with the isolation of only the bathroom has gained such high popularity all over the world for a reason. This design technique allows you to create the most comfortable and spacious room as much as possible in principle with the number of available square meters. If twenty years ago this type of dwelling was still a novelty for our compatriots, it is now practiced with great success for married couples without children or singles.
Did you get a studio apartment with a ready-made layout or did you have to demolish all non-load-bearing partitions on your own - the result is the same - you need to properly distribute the available space. The advantage of such premises is that the entire space is evenly illuminated by the sun's rays (there are no partitions or other obstacles) and it seems larger than its actual size due to the use of an open layout. But at the same time, it is still necessary to provide sources of artificial lighting for each functional segment.
One of the advantages of using an open floor plan is the absence of any partitions and obstacles not only for traffic, but also for the spread of light. Zoning of functional segments occurs with the help of furniture. You can also mark the conditional boundaries of each zone using carpeting (in the living room and bedroom segment, for example) and a lighting system (obviously, one central chandelier is not enough for the entire room).
In the case of an open layout, there are two options for the distribution of recreation and sleep areas, workspace. In the first case, the room is designed as a living room, and the role of a sleeping place is performed by a sofa bed, which unfolds only for the night. The advantage of such a layout is that it is possible to organize such an environment even on a very modest area. But there is also a significant drawback - the owners will have to constantly sleep on the sofa, and even the most comfortable models cannot be compared in terms of ergonomics with sleeping in a bed, on an orthopedic mattress.
If your living room will serve as a bedroom at the same time, then it is best to opt for a corner sofa. When assembled, during the day, such sofas can offer a sufficient number of seats for the owners and their guests, in the evening they are laid out into a full-fledged sleeping place for two. Among other things, the corner structure is very convenient to install in the corner of the room near the window. Thus, the light from the window opening will not overlap (which is very important for small spaces) and the “dead” zone of the room can be used as efficiently as possible.
The second way to organize functional areas in a single room is to install a full-fledged sleeping place in the form of a bed and upholstered furniture to decorate the living room relaxation area. This option is suitable for couples without children and those who are not embarrassed by the openness of the sleeping area. Depending on the size of the room, the living area can be directly adjacent to the sleeping segment or separated by furniture.
One of the ways to zoning a bed in a common room is to build a bed on a podium. In such structures it is very convenient to have spacious storage systems, which are always lacking in small-sized dwellings.
We isolate the sleeping area in the common room
Not all owners of one-room dwellings are suitable for an open-plan option. For many, it is important to be able to retire in the zone of sleep and rest to one degree or another. For some, a frosted glass interior partition is enough, while others need thick curtains that do not let in light. Depending on the size of the room, the number of windows and the size of the bed (single or large double), which needs to be separated, you can choose the following design options for sleeping areas:
The sleeping and rest area behind the interior partition gives the owners a sense of some privacy, but at the same time does not completely separate the segment from the common space. At the same time, the light from the windows can also penetrate into the sleeping area, if there is no window opening there. As an interior partition, it is most practical to use shelving or cabinets. It can be either a double-sided rack with open shelves, or a storage system on one side and a surface on which you can hang shelves, a mirror, a TV or wall decor on the other.
Curtains, roller blinds, vertical blinds and other types of fabric barriers can be a sleeping space option for those who need privacy. This method does not require you to build partitions. You only need to install a guide for fastening curtains or blinds. If the guide is attached to the ceiling, then in the curtained version, the sleep area will not receive its share of natural light (provided that there is no window in the sleeping segment). If you place the curtain rod at the level of a person’s height, then the remaining space will be enough to provide a segment, albeit dim, but still lighting.
Another option for creating a fence for a berth is to design a zone using glass (or partially such) partitions. Almost half of the sun's rays penetrate through the matte surfaces, but what is happening behind the partition remains indistinguishable. The glass partition gives a sense of isolation on the one hand, and leaves the thought of belonging to a common space on the other.
Experts recommend using glass inserts for partitions in case of creating a fully insulated segment for sleeping and relaxing. Even small transparent inserts ranging from the ceiling to the doorway will help provide the sleeping area with a small amount of natural light, which can be enough to stay in this segment during the daytime. For evening and night time, in any case, you will provide the room with lighting fixtures.
Kitchen design in a small apartment
As a rule, the kitchen space in standard (and even more so in small-sized) apartments has an area of no more than 6.5 square meters. And on this small piece of space it is necessary to place all the necessary household appliances, storage systems, not forgetting about the organization of the dining area. Usually, there is not enough space for this functional segment, and the dining table with chairs has to be moved to the common room, placing the dining room near the living area. But if a married couple without children lives in a one-room apartment, you can organize a small place for meals by extending the countertop of the kitchen island or adapting an enlarged window sill for this purpose.
Experts recommend abandoning ready-made kitchen solutions in favor of custom-made sets that will exactly match the capabilities of a modest-sized room and use its advantages most effectively. There are never too many storage systems, especially in the kitchen space. Even a small niche near the gas column or the space under the windowsill can become a place to install a wall cabinet or an open shelf.
In a long and narrow kitchen, it is most logical to use the parallel layout of the furniture set. With such a distribution of storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces between rows of kitchen cabinets, there is usually only room for movement, but not for installing a dining group. If the length of the kitchen space allows, then you can install a large dining table with chairs or a compact kitchen corner in one of the corners of the room in front of the entrance. Otherwise, the dining area will have to be moved to a common room.
If the kitchen is part of a common room, then a linear or angular (L-shaped) layout is most often used as the layout of the kitchen set. If there is enough space to organize the kitchen segment, then the set can be supplemented with a kitchen island or peninsula, which most often becomes a place for meals by extending the countertop. But in most cases, you have to limit yourself to the linear arrangement of the furniture ensemble with integrated household appliances. The kitchen area and the rest of the room, as a rule, have the same finish. An exception is made only for the design of a kitchen apron and sometimes flooring in the working area.
Modern interiors continue to prove that there are no small spaces or bad layouts. All the shortcomings of space can be hidden using the principles of zoning, as well as correctly choosing colors, decor and furniture. To inspire you, we have created a selection of 10 beautiful studio apartment design projects. Happy viewing!
This "odnushka" with an area of 43 sq.m. located in a Stalinist house and was supposed to be rented out. Project designer Daria Nazarenko decided to move away from the universal design typical for this type of property and created an interior with individual features. Small details, such as panels or patterned textiles, reflect the tastes of the hostess, turning into bright accents against the background of a restrained finish.
Naturally, one of the main tasks was to save precious square meters, which are already scarce in the apartment. All partitions were dismantled, transforming the space into a kind of studio.
Multifunctional furniture played an important role. So, in the middle of the room there is an object that simultaneously acts as a table, a console behind the sofa and a small partition that smoothly divides the room. A spacious bed was built into a special niche, and the bathroom was hidden behind a sliding door.
This project is an excellent example of how to make modern housing for a bachelor out of an apartment that was killed over the years, inherited from her grandmother. And this is also proof that even a loft that loves a lot of free space can fit into the interior of a one-room apartment of 38 sq.m.
Designers from the Odnushechka studio had to deal with a room with a complex geometric shape, as well as a corner arrangement. Having removed unnecessary partitions, three large windows appeared in a small-sized room at once, which let in a large amount of light and make it more spacious. The small bathroom was enlarged by a corridor.
Almost all furniture is made to order, adjusting to the features of the interior. They decided to replace the table with a bar that separates the living space from the kitchen. Different wall decoration makes the design of the apartment more diverse and complex.
One-room apartment with an area of 42 sq.m., the author of which was Evgenia Ermolaeva, is located in the Moscow region. The hostess prefers environmental friendliness, so the designer added as many trees and plants as possible to the interior. The bedroom is hidden in a kind of glass dome, bringing a feeling of lightness.
To save space, it was decided to minimize the dining room, which is limited to small chairs and a bar counter. Also in the apartment there was a place for a home theater and a spacious built-in wardrobe in the hallway area.
Another project from Evgenia Ermolaeva, which clearly demonstrates that even bright and eccentric pop art can look beautiful in a one-room apartment with an area of only 37 sq.m. "Odnushka" is designed for a young couple, which makes the original requirement doubly difficult: to accommodate everything necessary for life.
The redevelopment included the dismantling of the balcony, the expansion of the opening between the kitchen and the corridor, the allocation of the working area with the help of a podium-step. The designer wanted to keep the double bed, while making room for a full-fledged living room. The transforming bed, which is located in the closet, helped to cope with this task. A large closet was placed along the wall, serving as the main storage place in the apartment. Mirrors on its sliding doors help to visually expand the area.
The color palette is built on the contrast of muted and bright shades. The floor pattern helps in zoning the space, highlighting each zone. Despite its small size, the interior looks stylish and aesthetically pleasing.
Designers from the Novosibirsk studio Artugol managed to combine in a small one-room apartment with an area of 40 sq.m. rationality, individuality and aesthetics, decorating all this with hints of brutality.
The layout includes a living room, a bedroom with a large bed, a kitchen, a bar area, and a separate bathroom. The contrast of cold and warm shades with deep textures gives a special style to the space.
It was possible to allocate a niche for the bedroom with the help of a built-in wardrobe, which separated the hallway and the room. The bed is on the podium, which plays the role of additional storage space.
Horizontal wooden panels seem to frame the space, making it visually wider and more comfortable. The use of one palette of three colors enhances this effect, creating a coherent and complete look.
6. One-room apartment in the style of minimalism
The clients wanted to transform this small one-room apartment of 40 sq.m. in modern apartments filled with lightness and air. Oksana Tsymbalova from the House of the Sun studio worked on the project, and she managed to embody all the smallest nuances in the interior.
Housing consists of a bedroom, living room, kitchen, small dining room, bathroom and ample storage spaces. To achieve this result, the designer took as a basis the principle of functionality, using every square meter, while maintaining the very desired space and lightness.
After redevelopment, a small utility block appeared in the apartment, which was created by increasing the bathroom and moving the door.
The kitchen area includes a corner kitchen. To save space, furniture creates a single line, leaving free space. The height of the ceilings made it possible to organize storage spaces in the entire height of the walls. At the same time, stylistic unity and light colors smooth out all corners, leveling the clutter.
In the bedroom area there is a workplace, which is separated from the living room by a wooden partition with an interesting texture.
This apartment really suits the presence of only one, but spacious room of 45 sq.m. Thanks to multifunctional furniture, the space looks very stylish, and each zone smoothly flows into another.
A small partition separates the kitchen area and the workplace, which fits into a niche next to the window. The layout has an L-shape, while the dining area is made in the form of a corridor. The bedroom, which includes a bed and two bedside tables, was placed behind a translucent rounded partition, thus hiding it from prying eyes.
The interior of the apartment only benefited from the use of modern style, which is embodied here in the smooth forms of furniture, natural colors and smooth surfaces. This combination expands the area and does not overload the room with unnecessary details.
This one-bedroom apartment, designed by Martins Architects, has virtually no clear boundaries, even where they are needed. Here it was also decided to hide the bedroom behind a glass partition, but this time transparent, in which you can retire with the help of curtains.
Zoning is provided by different colors and materials. So, the kitchen area is highlighted with black brick walls, as well as light glossy furniture, which stand in contrast to the white, green and brown colors of the rest of the interior. These diverse design solutions are reconciled by a light wooden floor and a white ceiling.

Modern interior ideas for a one-room apartment in 2017 and 2018
A modern interior is a set of some rules that allow you to make even a small area a model of elegance and comfort. These rules include:
- the use of a light palette of colors with the separation of shades according to their intended purpose: the lightest - the ceiling, a little darker - the walls and the dark floor;
- the use of reflective and mirror planes allows you to change the perception of space, visually adding non-existent square meters;
- placement in small-sized premises of a simple form with transformation mechanisms;
- reasonable use of accessories, exclusion of floor decorative elements;
- a thoughtful approach to placement, a combination of natural artificial lighting.
How to start a design project for a one-room apartment
The design of a 1-room apartment is not just a well-thought-out interior of a living space. The project should include all rooms:, toilet, kitchen and. Given that the apartment is small, it should be perceived as a whole. It’s bad form if your corridor is made in Japanese style, the room is Provence, and minimalism reigns in the kitchen.
The first thing to think about when drafting a project is how to make the most of every square meter. Perhaps, for practicality, redevelopment should be considered, for example,. This common option will turn a small apartment into a studio and add usable living room space. This association will not interfere with the kitchen, especially the small Khrushchev kitchen. Another good option is to combine a room with. The design of a one-room apartment in this case must be coordinated with the services supervising the construction.
Important! When redevelopment, load-bearing walls should not be affected. Before starting work, carefully study the plan of the apartment and consult with BTI specialists.
If you are not confident in your abilities, contact the professionals and order a project from them. You will not only be offered several options, but will also be shown visual 3D models that will allow you to visually present the result.
Advice! If you replace traditional doors with sliding doors or arches, you will get rid of many "dead" zones.
Another important point in creating a project is the definition of functional areas. There are areas that cannot be abandoned: the sleeping area, the work area and the recreation area.
How to correctly plan the design of a one-room apartment
In a small apartment, you need to use all methods to increase the usable area:
These and other techniques will allow rational use of every centimeter of space.
How can I zone the space in a one-room apartment
To distinguish between functional areas, you can use different methods:
- Use of podiums
In the podium you can hide drawers for things or a bed. And on top - install a dining or desktop. The height of the podium is from 30 cm, which is enough to accommodate a bed, up to 1.5 m - full-fledged wardrobes can be used here. A high podium can become the basis for a bed.
Examples of zoning using podiums:
The arch does not take up much space, and at the same time can be used as a full-fledged delimiter. The arch can be decorated with textiles, lighting or other decorative elements. Airy, carved designs emphasize the elegance of the interior. Massive arches will give a feeling of reliability and solidity.
Examples of arches in the interior:
- Differentiation with color.
You can select zones without the use of furniture and partitions. It is enough to do this with the help of color, using wallpaper or contrasting walls. Unusual will emphasize different zones. You can also use a combination of a plain wall with a pattern or ornament for this purpose. Another example of zoning is the allocation of areas on the floor. This can be done using a different coating and its color.
Color zoning samples:
- Use of light and temporary partitions.
Sliding partitions, light, through shelving and - another option, how to highlight a zone in a single space. Glass, wood, wrought iron, fabric, bamboo - almost any material is suitable for this. Conveniently, all these partitions can be easily removed if necessary, for example, if you need to organize a party.

Color in the design of a one-room apartment
The classic option for a color scheme in a small space is the use of shades of the same color from a light range. It must be admitted that such an interior is boring and does not differ in particular elegance.
For decoration, take the base shade - for a small space it should be light, even using white is acceptable. As a second color, choose a muted-bright tone of natural origin. And finally, for accents, use a bright or dark color. The proportional ratio of these combinations is: 60×30×10.

How to use accessories correctly
There are no trifles in the interior. Whichever one is chosen, it is not complete without accessories. They enliven the atmosphere, make accents and attract attention. Sometimes with their help you can deftly divert attention from some flaws or flaws.
Accessories can be purely decorative. These include figurines, souvenirs, photo frames, panels and. If you have a collection of glasses, swords or bottles of sand from around the world, feel free to put them on public display, of course, properly arranging the exposition.
Decorative elements can also have a functional purpose. Original furniture, textiles - all this will please the eye and attract attention. In the selection of accessories, it is important to observe the measure and follow. A design overloaded with decorative elements will look clumsy and tasteless.
Let there be light!
In matters of lighting, you need to follow the basic simple and understandable rules:
- Space lighting should be divided into basic, decorative and working. The main -, working - directed devices on work surfaces and decorative - and decor items.
- Each room in the apartment should have its own lighting scenario. In a one-room apartment, you need to think through all three lighting options, for the kitchen you can limit yourself to only functional lighting, for the bathroom and the corridor you will need a combination of the main light with.
- Use for lighting fixtures in the apartment. They will not only allow you to significantly save on, but will also enable you to smoothly.
- you need to select not only according to the principle of matching the style of the interior, but also practical convenience. They should not cast unnecessary shadows, match the power of your electrical network and modern lamps.

Fashionable and practical materials for modern interior design of a one-room apartment
Fashion designers are actively using for interior decoration. Among the main trends is porcelain stoneware with imitation of natural stone, metal or wood.
Now the fashion has returned to use the usual one, from which real works of art are made. Manufacturers offer a choice of original ones that can be used in the bathroom, kitchen and living room. Even absorbent panels have appeared on sale that absorb toxic substances from the atmosphere of the room, this is a new trend in the design of eco-housing.
Another novelty is a special film for window glass, which protects it from mechanical stress and reacts to the level of ultraviolet radiation. But these are all new. And now about more traditional materials for interior decoration in relation to a one-room apartment:
hallway decoration
- this is the first room that meets you in an apartment or house. For its decoration, it is important to use materials that are resistant to mechanical damage and pollution. Consider the most popular of them:
- Wood. This material does not go out of fashion and will be popular for a long time. It creates a good microclimate in the room. The wood paneling in the hallway looks very nice but needs some maintenance.
- Wallpaper. They are often used to decorate the hallway. Wallpapers are now on sale. It should be noted that the cork is not easy to wash, and its soft surface is unstable to mechanical stress.
- Plastic. PVC panels are a cheap and practical way to finish the corridor. They are easy to clean, tolerate mechanical stress well and have a wide range of colors, including those imitating natural materials. MDF can also be attributed to the same type of coatings.
- Imitation stone. A gypsum analogue of natural stone tiles is an original way to decorate a hallway. You just need to carefully consider the design of the corridor so as not to make it look like a stone cave.
wall decoration in living quarters. You can easily choose your favorite shade, combine different colors.
- Wallpaper. A simple and logical choice. On sale there are wallpapers with colors for every taste. Paper, non-woven, bamboo, cork - you can choose any.
- Decorative plaster. Expensive, but durable and practical coating. If it was made by a master, you can get a very high-quality imitation of natural stone or even leather. can be washed, and it will last for more than a dozen years.
- Drywall. This material is not decorative, but it allows you to create three-dimensional structures that can decorate walls, niches, ceilings, arches. In drywall you can.
Kitchen materials
For the kitchen, you should choose materials that are ready to withstand the mode of increased use of the premises. Heat, humidity, soot and grease - all this will settle on the walls. Therefore, it is better to choose coatings that are easy to wash and clean:
- Ceramic tile. Modern tiles can imitate other materials, be glossy or matte.
