Bedroom design with an area of ​​12 sq. m

The bedroom is practically the most important room in any apartment. Still, after all, the body of every person needs sleep and good rest. A comfortable bedroom and a well-appointed seating area can contribute to maximum relaxation.

For example, a room with an area of ​​12 sq. m, let's take a closer look at how to create a stylish design and make the most of the room without cluttering it. And also examples of the most successful design projects, options for finishing materials and the most successful shades for bedrooms.

12 square meters is not such a big space, so you need to use absolutely all of its corners as functionally as possible. After all, it often happens that in the bedroom you want to fit not only a sleeping place, but also bedside tables, a dressing table, a couple of armchairs, a chest of drawers and a TV.

In the overwhelming number of houses, bedrooms have a standard layout, which is a rectangular room with a size of 3x4 meters. With this shape of the room, the delimitation of space can be quite successful.

It is worth noting that a huge number of people engaged in the construction of country houses with their own hands prefer a similar layout to bedrooms, since it is the most optimal, compact and relatively spacious.

Some houses, especially new buildings, have rather unusual room layouts. Therefore, a bedroom with a long or narrow shape is not such a rarity, but it can easily become a problem when it comes to repairing and delimiting the space of the room.

12 square meters is the most common area of ​​a small room in a panel house or Khrushchev. Most often, such a room has a slightly elongated shape, but it is not a narrow rhyme and completely leaves room for a flight of creative and design imagination.

It is worth noting that with the right choice of the distribution of furniture and decor items, you can get a completely functional and uncluttered dormitory.

In order to prevent all problems that may arise in the future, as well as to provide for all the necessary little things and details that will ensure a more comfortable existence, it is necessary to develop a competent design project, which will become the basis for creating a bedroom interior.

Consider the main stages of drawing up a design project for a bedroom:

1. The first step is to decide on the size of the budget. This step is necessary, since the competent distribution of finances will save money and avoid unforeseen expenses;
2. At the next stage, you need to decide on the interior, style of the room and the necessary pieces of furniture. If the budget allows, you can turn to a competent specialist - an interior designer for help, but if the furnishings and repairs of the bedroom are made within the framework of economy, you will have to do it yourself;
3. Then it is necessary to make a preliminary assessment of the selected finishing materials and furniture elements., after which you need to compare the amount received with the budget.If funds remain, you can send them to additional decor, and if the amount goes beyond the established framework, you must either expand them or reduce costs;
4. After all these stages, a period of finishing the premises follows: cosmetic or major repairs, assembly and placement of furniture in accordance with the design idea, as well as minor adjustments to the location of some parts, which can be done if necessary, but is not required.

Let's take a closer look at examples of design projects of the most successful and stylish bedrooms of the corresponding footage.

A bright bedroom with a large double bed, located in a narrow 12-meter room, looks very stylish. The bed is located in the center of the room, and a hinged TV is attached to the opposite wall.

In the corner of the room, you can place an unusual chair in the form of an opened rosebud, and the light interior is complemented by dark curtains made of dense material.

A narrow bedroom can be more functional. For example, if you choose a not very wide one and a half bed, a small narrow curbstone will fit quite well in the corner next to it. And the hinged shelves located above the sleeping area are equipped with lamps and thus the problem of additional lighting is solved.

Almost all walls and furniture should form the main color palette of the interior, for example, white. Therefore, the wall behind the bed, decorated with bright photo wallpaper, will help slightly dilute the situation.

The interior can also be complemented with a fluffy carpet, a small wooden chest cabinet and decorative knick-knacks placed in the window sill area.

Very stylish bedroom design with standard footage in warm brown tones. The large bed is located in the center of the room, and a small wall in white and brown colors is built into the opposite wall.

On both sides of the bed, there are small bedside tables, matching the color of the wall. And the curbstones are decorated with stylish lamps with graceful lampshades. In the area near the window there is a small cozy armchair, and on the wall above the bed, two paintings depicting landscapes of Japanese cities are adapted to complement the interior.

The very stylish modern design of the 12-meter bedroom will appeal to even the most capricious inhabitants of the apartment. The interior is decorated as in the previous example in brown colors. Different shades are chosen very well, thanks to which the bedroom looks very harmonious.

There are several interesting points in this layout:

1. The window and door are located opposite each other in the area of ​​the walls with a smaller footage. Therefore, the bed is located in the central part of the wall perpendicular to it. This layout makes it possible to supplement the sleeping element with two tall wardrobes on the sides and a hinged shelf between them, in the lower part of which small lighting elements are built in.
2. There is a high chest of drawers on the left near the door., which will become a functional part of the interior and is perfect for storing underwear and bed linen. There is a small lamp on the chest of drawers, which is one of the additional lighting elements.
3. In addition, the interior is complemented by a fashionable unusual chandelier, dark brown roman shades and a stylish painting located in the area between the shelf and the headboard.

Not only the choice of furniture is an important part of decorating a bedroom, but also the design of the interior itself.In some cases, improperly and thoughtlessly selected finishing materials can spoil and visually reduce even the largest space.

But certain color schemes and some life hacks will help not only decorate the interior stylishly, but also visually increase the small space of a 12-meter room.

Of course, glossy stretch ceilings can play an important role in increasing the space, but not everyone likes the way they look. It is much more pleasant to look at the matte ceiling covering, therefore, in order to avoid eating up the space by building a structure, it is better not to resort to such a ceiling design, but to focus on painting, whitewashing or gluing special panels.

For whitewashing and painting, it is worth choosing the highest quality materials in order to avoid cracking and sprinkling of materials in the near future. In addition, you can resort to decorating the ceiling with special finishing plaster, creating a textured surface.

One of the life hacks that will help to visually increase the height of the room: along the perimeter of the room, you can create a small niche with built-in lamps, thanks to which the central part will seem a little higher.

It should be noted that the niche may differ from the main part of the ceiling. But it is better to stick to light colors and opt for white or pearl shades.

Light walls will help to visually increase the area of ​​the room, but this does not mean that the interior should be of the same type and boring. You can choose color combinations in such a way that the room will sparkle with new colors, and when supplemented with various decorative elements and prints, the bedroom will not only be spacious, but also very cozy.

For example, a light vertical strip is the best assistant in increasing the space, but you should not decorate absolutely all walls of the room in this way, as it will look too colorful and quickly get bored.

Various floral prints, oriental patterns and simple openwork ornaments are welcome, which should be arranged according to the same principle, since the abuse of decorative trim can negatively affect not only the visual perception of space, but also the stylistic picture of the bedroom as a whole.

For wall decoration, high-quality non-woven, vinyl or fabric wallpapers are perfect. It is better to choose a meter-long canvas - so the walls will look more holistic, and pasting them will take much less time.

For floor decor, it is better to choose neutral shades., but not too dark, because of which the space will seem smaller, but also not light, because they will make the floor stand out unnecessarily against the background of the rest of the interior.

It is best to choose plain finishing materials, because prints and drawings will not only be inappropriate, but also visually “eat up” some of the space. A monochromatic color scheme makes the floor neutral and does not focus on it.

As for the flooring itself itself, its choice should be made based on personal preferences:

• Parquet able to serve for many years. Parquet is considered to be quite durable and wear-resistant, but it requires special handling,
• Laminate - the most economical option, although it is unpretentious in maintenance, nevertheless quickly loses its original appearance.

In addition, to ensure greater comfort, you can equip the floor not only with an insulating underlay, but also with special electric mats.heating the flooring, which will help maintain a more comfortable atmosphere in the bedroom and make it warmer.

There will be no problems with arranging a sleeping place in a 12-meter room, but this can be done if it is necessary to equip the room not only with a sleeping place, but also with a working space.

Let's take a closer look at some examples and life hacks of compact placement of furniture and the most functional use of space:

For example, to equip a bedroom-study, it is not at all necessary to have a room with a large area. You can use a folding bed option - a small sofa, as well as a smaller bed.

In addition, a window sill can also be used as a desktop, the surface of which can be slightly lengthened if necessary. With this use of the window part of the room, most of the space remains free.

​

To create more space for work, you can use a furniture attribute such as a loft bed. The model is a sleeping place located almost under the ceiling and fixed on special strong columns and posts.

​​A room with a loggia and a balcony gives much more opportunities to make the most of the space., in addition, there is the possibility of increasing the space by several square meters.

For example, the insulation of double-glazed windows and the destruction of the partition between the space of the loggia or balcony and the room will make the room longer, thereby creating additional space for the workspace.

In addition, it is not at all necessary to demolish the entire partition completely; it is enough to remove the window and the balcony door. The rest of the wall can be decorated with a wide table top, creating a quite comfortable workplace there.

It should be noted that the atmosphere in the bedroom should be conducive to relaxation and not only physical rest, but also emotional release. For this, the room should not be cluttered with a huge amount of massive furniture - you should use compact models of everything you need.

The color scheme of the bedroom is perhaps one of the most important aspects of the visual perception of the room as a whole. As already said, the design of the room should be conducive to a comfortable rest, therefore, the use of overly bright shades and vulgar color combinations is discouraged.

But the room should also not be too pale and faded., since a large number of light cold shades deprive him of coziness and a sense of comfort - the bedroom will look, though spacious, but still very cold.

Red color with excessive use, it is completely unsuitable for the bedroom, so you should avoid using a large amount of this shade. But in small doses, it is quite appropriate. For example, as a decor for one of the walls (but no more), as well as as an addition to the interior with various decorative items - blankets, pillows, decorative figurines and vases.

Green bedroom when choosing a classic bright shade, it may seem like real wildness, and it is not surprising - hardly bright herbal tones are able to inspire a feeling of tranquility and create a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation and recreation.

But the interiors in light mint colors look quite beautiful and appropriate., as well as bedrooms with a predominance of a soft olive shade. Calm delicate colors will create a feeling of coziness and will not affect the visual perception of the area of ​​space.

In addition, delicate shades of yellow, pink and blue are perfect for decorating a bedroom. And the combination of beige and brown is almost a classic for the decor of this room.

It is noteworthy that the color scheme of the room can be part of one of various stylistic solutions. Let's take a closer look at which styles are the most popular for decorating bedrooms, what is characteristic of each of them and due to which some are especially popular:

• Country. For a bedroom in this style, a predominance of light green shades is characteristic, thanks to which the room looks very fresh and spacious. This style is also characterized by all kinds of floral prints, paintings with natural landscapes and bright embroidery.

• Provence. This style is a kind of French Country, as its origins come from distant villages located in the south of France. The style is characterized by soft lilac and lavender shades, a predominance of light tones and light floral patterns.

• Rustic. Something in common with the above two styles has a rustic style, the main characteristic of which is the predominance of woody elements - mainly wall decor. The style is characterized by light shades, floral prints and the use of dried flowers as decor.

• Vintage... Vintage-style bedrooms are characterized by lightness and grace. Beds with an openwork metal frame, furniture with traces of scuffs and an aged effect, as well as a large predominance of light shades: ash, pearl, ivory, pale pink and champagne.

• Romantic. Decorating a bedroom in this style may require a wider flight of imagination, since both a light version and a dark room with gray walls can look beautiful. This style is characterized by unobtrusive floral prints, feminine elements, leather headboards.

• Classical. This style is characterized by luxury and wealth. Mostly soft velvet fabrics, silk bedding and velor pillow upholstery are used. And the interior is dominated by golden decorative elements, complemented by crystal figurines.

• Pop Art. This style is the most fashionable and modern of all, since its main features were inspired by various newfangled trends. Large posters with large images of female faces, drawings in the form of enlarged berries and fruits, neutral furniture and accessories in bright colors are the main components of this style.

Lighting in the bedroom is an important part, since it is not only a sleeping area, but also a rest area in a horizontal position. The classic overhead light may simply not be enough, and small lamps do not have the power that would allow them to independently illuminate the entire room completely.

Let's take a closer look at all the existing lighting options for bedrooms, what are the best of them, and how to carry out the lighting yourself.

Of course, central ceiling lighting is necessary as it cannot be replaced with other lighting fixtures. It is carried out from the center of the room and spreads over its entire area.

As a rule, when building a house, this type of lighting is carried out in every room, so you don't have to do it yourself. You just need to choose a beautiful chandelier that matches the interior and securely fix it to the ceiling.

It is better to do additional wiring before the start of the repair, since undecorated walls are quite suitable for hiding the wires in specially punched channels. Otherwise, you will have to buy a special box for wires or hide them in the holes in the baseboard.

Additional lighting in the form of small sconces can be placed on the sides of the bed, for convenience, equipped with a chain switch. Small floor lamps and lamps standing on bedside tables are placed in a similar way. All these lighting elements will become indispensable for those who like to read before bedtime.

In addition to finishing work and the choice of furniture, the bedroom must be supplemented with all sorts of accessories and decorative elements. After all, the interior of no room is complete without stylish little things that give it more comfort.

Various figurines and vases of different sizes act as decor. It is not necessary to keep fresh flowers in a vase; you can decorate the item with a beautiful artificial bouquet.

Paintings are excellent interior decor., images on which are able to create both a more sunny and lighter atmosphere in a room, as well as a heavy and negative one, leading to a waste of their own energy.

Of course, no bedroom is complete without textile accompaniment - these are curtains, a bedspread, and bed linen. The bedspread and curtains should match the interior, but the bedding should be chosen based on personal preference.

Special attention should be paid to curtains: they should be dense, made of heavy fabric that does not allow light to pass through, since the body needs rest and full recovery, and the light of lanterns can negatively affect the sleep process.

• Simple yet very stylish Provence style bedroom design. The wall behind the bed is decorated with photo wallpaper with a bright print, and the elegant furniture, along with decorative elements, is selected in white, which makes the room more spacious and bright.

• The bedroom looks very nice in blue tones. White furniture, wallpaper with an unobtrusive print in a classic style, graceful curtains and a beautiful blue bedspread give the room a truly luxurious look.

• A bright bedroom, the predominant shade of the interior of which is a beige-pinkish tint, will appeal to both men and women.

• A practical bedroom in an elongated 12-meter room features vertical hanging shelves. There is a small niche above the door, which solves the issue of additional storage space.
