We select an interior for a bedroom-study

How do we imagine an office? Table, office chair, bookshelves, computer. What do we see with the word "bedroom"? Classic bed, subdued lights and wallpaper in soothing colors. But what if life circumstances force you to combine work and leisure?

The options and the possibility of zoning depend on the area of ​​the room, the number of people living and working in the office, their age, and the likelihood of strangers visiting the room. Based on this information, we will try to consider all possible options for zoning the combined room:

• If we are talking about an ordinary room where you need to combine a resting place with a workplace, then in such a room you need to provide a minimum of items, but they must be multifunctional... For example, a wardrobe, a table-window sill, a podium-shelf. But when designing a studio apartment, the designer has much more options for dividing into recreation and work areas. Here you can use both a double-sided cabinet and a plasterboard partition;
• Depending on how many people will live and work in the study bedroom, we must consider ways of dividing the room into zones... If the entire space will be occupied by one person, then when zoning, you can do without partitions or choose light, partially transparent partitions. If the room is intended for several people, then you need to divide the space in such a way that the inhabitants of the bedroom and office do not interfere with a friend. Solid plasterboard or plywood partitions, sliding doors or blackout curtains stretched under the ceiling are useful here;
• If the room is intended for children, then, in addition to the working and sleeping place, it will be necessary to provide a place for toys. A good way out of the situation is to use transforming furniture. For example, a folding table will help a student, which can be removed during games. Toys can be stored in the sofa's drawers. If children are young, then for safety reasons, do not make high podiums in their study bedroom. If the room is intended for adults, then everything depends on its size, the flight of thought and financial investments;
• You are waiting for visitors in your office to resolve business issues. Then it is logical to zone your room in such a way that guests do not pass the sleeping place. That is, regardless of the location of the window, there should be a workplace at the entrance to the room. In this variant of zoning, continuous partitions must be provided.

Ideally, I would like to equip my workplace next to the window, although this is not always possible.

• If you decide to do this, then a very popular option is to turn the window sill into a table. The good thing about this idea is that your workspace will have natural light.

And if it is possible to arrange the furniture that way, use this advice.

• When arranging a workplace, it is necessary to provide for an office corner. If you use a cabinet as a partition, then on its back, which is in the office, you can place shelves for books and writing utensils. This would be a good option for a folding table on which you cannot put all of this.

• You have decided to make a partition with functional holes. Then you can make a niche for a computer desk in it. The openings in the partition from the side of the office will be filled with the items necessary for work, and from the side of the bedroom - with flowers and decorative trifles. All this will serve as additional sound insulation.

• When choosing furniture for a small room, think about a corner computer desk.... There are a lot of models of such tables. You can find one where it would be convenient to work both on a computer and with papers. In addition, there are models with already built-in bookshelves, the sides of which will protect the next sleeping place from the light of a table lamp.

• Another option for placing the desktop is inside the built-in wardrobe... In apartments, they are used as storage rooms. But if you put a table there, hang shelves, make lighting, then this will be a full-fledged workplace, which, if necessary, can be hidden by closing the door.

To decorate a bedroom-living room, you can use the following style solutions:

• Minimalist design ideal for a study bedroom. You can compensate for the minimum amount of things by using transformer items.. Wall shelves, decorative baskets for small items or children's toys will help to avoid a large number of items on the floor and save space. The TV set can be hung on the wall on special brackets or placed in a partition niche;
• High-tech style is suitable for small spaces.... Glass and metal are the basis of the style. Minimal use of furniture items. It is unlikely to be suitable for use in a nursery, but people with a Nordic type of character may be interested;
• The loft style will look great both in the bedroom and in the office.... From deliberately rough boards, you can make a podium. On the walls under untreated red brick, you can easily hang shelves made with your own hands from ordinary boards;
• In the Japanese style, the main element of the interior will be a screen that allows you to separate the study from the bedroom.... Photomurals with blooming sakura will create coziness in the recreation area. And reed blinds on the upper half of the window will shade the workplace from bright sunlight;
• The classic design style is suitable for a large room... Since this is a luxury style, you will have to look for furnishings that match it. Here, the workplace can be separated from the sleeping area by an arch with a thick curtain as light protection.

Depending on the style chosen, choose a color scheme for your study bedroom. If this room has a clear distinction into a recreation area and a workplace, then the colors of the decoration may be different. But professionals recommend making differences in colors no more than two tones. Perhaps someone will intuitively feel the influence of a particular color on their mood.

If this did not happen, then pay attention to the following information:

• Red color - quite aggressive. If you use it in large quantities in the design of your office, you will notice how quickly you will get tired and irritated. But a red spot (a table lamp, a pen, a photograph with red poppies) will make you focus on this subject, concentrate your attention, and increase your efficiency;
• Orange color associated with the sun, warmth. It calms, adjusts to positive thinking;
• Bright yellow color will bring positive emotions, make you cheer up and tune in to work;
• Pale yellow, yellow-green soothes, relaxes the nervous system;
• Green color considered the most pacifying for the nervous system. Looking at him, we calm down, relax. It will look harmonious both in the office and in the bedroom;
• Blue refers to cool. It is the color of calmness and prudence, patience and endurance;
• Blue color cunning enough.In small amounts, it will calm and relax. But completely blue walls, furniture, carpet can lead to apathy;
• Purple considered mystical. Accents of this color will look very interesting. Continuous coverage will be superfluous due to strong psychological pressure.

Black stands apart from the colors of the rainbow. It can be used in the decoration of any room. It will be a great backdrop for light shades.

Here are the rules you need to adhere to when decorating an office bedroom in dark shades:

• In the style of minimalism, calm colors are used. This style loves light. A good solution would be to use beige, light green, yellow, blue. But the working area should be darker. Then, leaving "from work", you will enter a zone that is softer for the eyes and the nervous system;
• High-tech style is a combination of white, different shades of gray and black. It is possible to use beige;
• Despite the seeming simplicity and carelessness of the loft style, it will be a very cozy and homely space due to the use of warm shades of brown and red-brick color;
• The Japanese style is associated with a lot of colors. So that there are not too many of them, use the rule of decorators: take one color as a basis, add two more to it, harmoniously suitable;
• The classic style is an abundance of white and gold. Here, a combination of pastel-colored walls and a dark floor is accepted. But white can be combined with green and blue. Gold is almost an indispensable element of the decor.

Any color scheme can be improved or ruined by lighting. What it will be in the study bedroom depends on whether there is a partition in the room. If not, then the ceiling lighting will be the same. For example, a pendant chandelier. But the workplace must have a sufficiently powerful desk lamp. While there can be a night light or a sconce by the bed.

If there is a partition, then it itself can be part of the lighting, if spotlights are mounted in it. The same lamps can be on the ceiling. Moreover, if the partition goes along the ceiling, then in the bedroom and office there may be a different ceiling design. For example, in the bedroom, mount multi-level spotlights with yellow light. While in the office, only install a desk lamp or fluorescent lamp on a wall with a white or blue spectrum.

For a woman, the appearance of the room where she spends a lot of time is very important. Whether it will be the delicate elegance of a bedroom or a business office - it all depends on the desire of the hostess and the support of the owner. The main thing is that all this is in harmony with oneself.

As an idea for people who are not afraid of experiments, you can invite a teenage child to paint the walls and ceiling of his room himself. Moreover, the walls of his workplace can be covered with formulas or rules, and the walls of the bedroom - with his favorite characters or graffiti (street art style).

By placing the bed on the podium, you can mount spotlights in the floor or podium walls. This beautiful solution will help you relax after a hard day.
