Design of a studio apartment 40 sq. m.

The design of a studio apartment should be beautiful, functional and modern. We will talk about how to do this in this article.

A studio apartment is a room in which only a bathroom is separated by walls, and the rest of the space is divided into functional zones. The advantage of this layout is space savings due to the absence of doors that steal space to open them. There is also no corridor as such in such apartments. As a rule, it runs along the wall of the bathroom, but this depends on the layout.

When it comes to modern housing, then developers generally do not put any walls inside studio apartments. Fencing off the bathroom and toilet is at the discretion of the residents. It is worth noting that a typical one-room apartment will not be easy to re-plan into a studio. Firstly, this process requires the approval of the project in the necessary instances. Secondly, the demolition of the door and walls will be impossible if a gas stove is installed in the kitchen. Third, the partition to be demolished can be a carrier.

The area of ​​the apartment is 40 sq. m is sufficient to equip it beautifully, comfortably and spaciously. Especially if it is meant for one person. With the proper organization of the space, the accommodation of several people will also be quite comfortable.

The planning of the premises must begin with determining the number and size of zones. One of the most important steps is determining the size, location and geometry of the bathroom. As a rule, it is adjacent to the kitchen due to the proximity of communications. But there are exceptions and risers are located in different parts of the apartment.

Another important element in the studio is the dressing room. Its competent arrangement is simply necessary in a studio environment: everything that needs to be hidden should fit in it.

There are a lot of layout options, but there are the most common ones. So, the bathroom, as a rule, is located immediately at the entrance on one side of the door, and the dressing room is on the other. If communications are nearby, then the kitchen is adjacent to the bathroom. It can be angular or linear. The remaining space goes under the living and sleeping area. Partitions can separate both the kitchen from the living area and the sleeping place from the guest area.

If space allows, then the sleeping place is best placed behind the dressing room. When communications are spread out to different parts of the apartment, then instead of a bed, a kitchen can be placed there.

The kitchen-living room can consist of two or more zones. There are several options and they depend solely on the needs of the residents. Someone needs a kitchen area with a bar counter and a guest room with a sofa bed.And those who like to receive guests and sleep on a double bed in a cozy atmosphere will need to arrange four or even five zones.

If we talk about the kitchen, then it is often better for amateurs to receive many guests to organize a dining area with a large table. In order not to visually clutter up the room, you can put a glass table with transparent chairs. This part of the apartment is often distinguished by a multi-level ceiling and floor, finishes of different textures or colors. You can also build a partition made of plasterboard, wood, glass, plastic, etc. Its height may be different and not reach the ceiling.

To accommodate two or three people, a bar counter is suitable. It will also serve as an element of zoning.

The sleeping place is most often fenced with sliding partitions made of wood or plastic. Curtains are also actively used. They create coziness and harmoniously fit into the sleeping theme.

Another way to arrange a bedroom is an additional floor above the kitchen or bathroom. This is a great way to save space as well as an effective decorative trick.

Various small niches are great for placing a workplace. A good solution would be a folding table, built into the shelving or attached to the wall.

The limited space and versatility impose restrictions on the use of styles in the interior. This is due to the need to avoid unnecessary elements: fabric draperies, stucco moldings, other voluminous and openwork decor. Thus, Empire or Baroque will be difficult to fit into a small studio. However, you can borrow any stylized elements: a chandelier, lamp, mirror or bed.

Modern styles such as minimalism, loft, hi-tech are best suited for a studio. The restrained Scandinavian style is very popular. In short, the design should be based on an effective combination of finishing materials, color schemes and a minimum of small decor.

As for the color, the area is 40 sq. m quite allows the use of a fairly dark color scheme up to black. You can also use various contrasting combinations. But most often, light colors and shades are still used.

In a studio apartment, furniture can serve as an element of zoning. So, racks with open shelves are actively used as partitions. A sofa will also help to visually delimit the space. It can be placed back to the dining table or bar. Thus, the TV will be visible to everyone, including those sitting at the table. The same technique can be used to fence off a sleeping place, if you adjoin the sofa close to the bed.

Note that a lot of folding furniture is produced for small-sized apartments:

• beds reclining from the wall;
• coffee tables transforming into dining tables;
• ottomans, disassembled into stools, etc.

As we already said, a full-fledged sleeping area can be organized on an additional floor above the bathroom or kitchen. You can also build a bed over the sofa in the room.

In the corridors of studio apartments, dressing rooms are most often organized. Area 40 sq. m.quite allows you to leave enough space for it. To save money, you can hang the shelves and close them with a curtain. It will look modern, spectacular and add comfort to the house.

Let's start with an apartment with an interesting wall decoration and color scheme. The creation of a horizontal strip on the wall is not only an original idea, but also a technique for visually increasing the space. And the use of the same floor covering looks spectacular and does not create unnecessary contrasts, thereby facilitating the appearance of the interior. The black color of the sofa and curtains attracts attention and the white sleeping area is completely unobtrusive. The vertical line of the curtain also raises the ceiling.

The next project is distinguished by a pleasant color scheme, competent distribution of green accents in combination with wood and good zoning. The vertical lines of the kitchen unit and the wooden slats behind the TV raise the ceiling. The wood trim in the kitchen and the walls behind the TV create symmetry. In combination with a white bar counter, they very harmoniously divide the room into two parts.

Consider another loft-style design. White walls and ceilings allow for dark furniture. Elements typical of a loft, such as brickwork, lamps with cables and metal slats, serve as decor that gives the interior aesthetics without cluttering the space.

The first project stands out for its example of how a sleeping place can be placed on an additional floor above the kitchen and bathroom. This frees up enough space for a living room with a variety of decor.

Consider another project with competent zoning. A wooden partition separates the bedroom from the living room and creates a nice space for a work desk. The predominant use of white in decoration and furniture allows you to add many bright accents when decorating.
