Repair of one bedroom apartment: design ideas and photos

Two-room apartments are probably the most common housing in our country, because for some time they accounted for about 60% of the total number of apartments in all houses under construction. If the houses are of old construction, then the area will be about the same – from 40 to 45 squares for “Khrushchevok” and about 50 for “Stallinok”. But the number of residents is very different: from one person to four or five. Naturally, the needs and requirements for the arrangement are different. Developing the design of a two-room apartment it must be taken into account.

Joint and separate layout

Joint layout of a two-room apartment is when the second room can be accessed only through the first. For one person it is convenient: the first room can be used as a living room, and the second – as a bedroom. The same distribution of “roles” is preferred by couples. With such a family composition, combined rooms are convenient.

If the apartment is in the house “Khrushchevskaya” construction, then the kitchen in it is very small. For a bachelor it is, in general, not a problem, but for a couple the small area is inconvenient. The most common repair option in this case is to combine the kitchen and the first room. In some layouts it is possible. The resulting combined area is then newly divided between the two rooms. Sometimes the kitchen area is allocated only the area that was obtained after the removal of the wall and it is already enough. And the available area of the former room is divided into two zones – dining room and living room.

A family with children in such a layout is inconvenient. Children are usually assigned the far room – they go to bed earlier. At the same time it is inconvenient for parents in the through room. Not only that it combines the living room and bedroom, but also no privacy is not about: children at any time can decide to go to the toilet or the kitchen. In this case, the main idea of repair – to divide the rooms by moving or installing new partitions, as well as displacement of doors.

One of the most unloved two-room apartments – “streetcar” is easily transformed, becoming a dwelling with a separate layout and a pantry or dressing room

Often in this case go to reduce the usable area. But sometimes, on the contrary, the living space becomes larger. This happens in “Khrushchevki” with a large number of pantries: they are turned into living space, and all the things stored there are distributed in closets or placed in the dressing room.

If the area is large enough, a two-room apartment with pass-through rooms can be turned into a three-room apartment. In this case, the pass-through room is used as a living room, and the far room is divided into two small bedrooms.

Separate layout of a two-room apartment is when the rooms can be accessed from the corridor. In general, such apartments are more convenient for families: there are two isolated rooms. Children and parents are usually happy.

For couples or singles, it is often possible to combine the kitchen and living room in this arrangement and make the apartment more modern and stylish.

There is another popular way to increase the living space: combining the room with a loggia or balcony. In this case, it is necessary to thoroughly insulate the former balcony and its high-quality glazing. In this case, the window and door frame are removed, and part of the wall is left, using it as a pedestal or counter. it can be removed, but only the part that was the window sill, since it does not bear the load. And that the remaining opening did not look like something alien, it can be designed in the form of an arch, rounding the corners.

Styles in the design of a two-room apartment: one or not?

The most logical will be the design of the whole apartment in one style. This does not mean that there should be one color scheme. Not at all. And one style – does not mean monotony. Within one style there are very wide possibilities and a sea of variations.

Repair of the apartment in a modern style

For example, look at the photo design of a two-room apartment in a modern style. The direction in the creation of interiors – the use of graphic images.

Since the hallway has a small size, all the furniture is concentrated on one wall. At the opposite wall, near the door there is only a narrow shoe rack with a soft seat. The hallway area is separated from the corridor by a shaped ledge on the ceiling. The graphics in the design of the walls change, although the colors remain the same.

As you can see, the color scheme in these rooms is preserved. It is understandable: there is no clear boundary between them, although the shape of the letter “G”.

The kitchen retains the graphic motifs that were present in the walls of the hallway, but the color scheme is completely different, although the style is unchanged. It does not look a bit boring, the general idea is traceable.

The motifs that were on the walls in the hallway are also in the kitchen, but they are transferred to the curtains and in a completely different color

The kitchen room is not particularly spacious, but we managed to fit the kitchen set in the form of the letter “P”. Its protruding part is used as a bar counter. This solution allows you to increase the working area, and also expands the functionality: at this place you can have a snack without setting the table.

The style is still the same: modern, but the approach is different

The distinction between the kitchen and dining areas is emphasized by the design of the walls, the organization of the ceiling and the lighting. All of them emphasize the presence of two zones with different purposes, although there are no clear boundaries.

In the bathroom, the beige and brown color scheme is retained, but again the character of the interior changes. Pay attention to the multi-stage lighting and ceiling design – an interesting design solution visually raises the ceiling. Also interesting and functional are the protrusions around the perimeter. This complicates the laying of tiles, but many times increases functionality: there is no need for hinged shelves: everything will fit perfectly on the ledges.

In the design of the bedroom appears pink color and graphic images of birds on branches. The style is still the same, but no one will say that the apartment looks monotonous.

The design of the children’s room for a girl in general on the color design is knocked out of the general range, but at the same time has common features.

As you can see, the unity of style – does not mean the same design. In all rooms of the two-room apartment has its own note, but also something of the general idea is present. Here and you, when developing your project should first of all decide on the style in which you see your home. Then find an idea or some elements that will unite all the interiors in a single whole.

Romantic one bedroom apartment

This is a photo of the repair of a small-sized 2 room apartment. One person lives in it, so it was decided to demolish most of the walls. The hallway in the apartment is very small: literally a closet on one side and a small cabinet with a mirror on the other. The walls are almost white, bright lighting.

The entrance to the kitchen right from the hallway. So that the appliances do not stand out too much against the background of light-colored walls, it is also all made white, as well as the countertop and chairs. The dark cabinet doors are repeated in the dark tabletop of the dining table.

The design turned out to be light and airy. In a small room there is no sense of “pressure”.

In this interior, non-standard forms are used: semicircular furniture and partitions. So in the living room is dominated by a large sofa, which has the shape of an arc, near it – an oval table, smooth lines are present on the multi-level ceiling.

An indispensable attribute of a modern interior – the TV – is in the center of the composition opposite the sofa.

The unusual feature of this interior is that the bedroom is practically one with the living room. It is separated only by a semicircular partition-column. You can see the bed, which is partially viewed from the sofa of the living room.

The combined bathroom is beautifully decorated. Delicate combination of colors, smooth lines of sanitary ware, sufficient, but not sharp lighting. All this creates a beautiful interior.

The design of this apartment can not be called monotonous or boring. All rooms are decorated in different styles. They are united by the dominant white color, as well as smooth, rounded lines in the interior.

Design of a one-bedroom apartment in a typical house P-44

This series of houses has been built for several decades. They continue to build them now, there are several modifications. Nevertheless, the general principle of construction remains standard: all apartments with a separate layout. They are distinguished from earlier buildings by the large size of all rooms, including the kitchen.

General description of the apartment

This 2-room apartment has a total area of 55 square meters. meters. m. The disadvantages include a combined bathroom and an unsuccessfully located door to the smaller room: it is directly opposite the entrance room, which is inconvenient.

In this case, the apartment is designed for a family with children. The owners decided that they would be more satisfied with a joint bathroom. It was also decided to remove the partition separating the children’s room from the hallway and put a spacious closet in its place. Thus, a little space was saved and functionality was not affected.

Under a large closet is occupied and part of the area, which is to the right of the door to the bedroom, which will also be used as a living room.

In the hallway with an area of a little less than 6 square meters. m. installed a closet. On the second wall is nailed a coat rack and under it a cabinet. Above the coat rack is the apartment electrical panel, so that it does not draw attention to itself, the cabinet is painted with paint of the same color as the furniture elements. Its upper surface can be used for storing small things.

The living room and, at the same time, the parents’ bedroom is decorated in the same color – gray with turquoise trim. This is not accidental: this technique allows you not to delimit the space, despite the presence of partitions.

At the far end of the room is organized workplace. It is separated by a shelf-stable of small height, thanks to which the space is not divided, but the zoning is quite clear.

To the right of the door there is a large closet under the ceiling. Partly it has open shelves, partly – closed. In this place you can make a narrow dressing room or a built-in closet. The dressing room will have limited functionality – its width, with this layout, is only 80 cm, which is not enough, but still it is realistic to equip it. For now it was decided to put the cabinet furniture – to save money.

The children’s room is not very large, so it was decided to use the window sill as a table. For a more compact placement put a bunk bed. At the bottom are drawers that can be used for storing toys and bedding.

Kitchen-dining room has a relatively small area – a little more than 9 square meters. m. To make it look visually spacious, the walls are painted in white. The furniture is of the same color. A bright spot on the white background stands out kitchen apron – green color. The same green shade soft covers for chairs.

Note that the curtains in the kitchen are roller blinds. The move is thoughtful. First, the windows in this layout are not linear, but at an angle. With this arrangement it is convenient to still use Roman. There may be classic, but not in this design variant: they do not fit the style. But thanks to the fact that the curtains are compact, it is possible to use the window sill, and also give it an interesting shape.

Despite the fact that the partition in the bathroom is removed, it remains small. We have to look for a place for a washing machine, as there is nowhere to put it in other rooms.

The place for the washing machine was found under the washbasin. It is specially selected with a large area. It is under it and the machine is located, and the platform protects it from water ingress.

In order that the room does not seem so small, the tiles on the walls are laid white glossy. The highlight of this interior are panels of tiles in blue – one of the colors that are present in the design of other rooms.

As you can see, and this design of a two-room apartment is made in the same style. In any room there is a certain stylistic orientation, although the color scheme and the created mood and feeling they are different.
