Zoning a room into a bedroom and a living room

Competent zoning of space will create a functional and comfortable environment. The division of living quarters into zones is necessary not only for a fashionable studio apartment, but also for a small one-room or spacious apartment. The choice of zoning items directly depends on the layout of the rooms and their area. The zoning of the room into the bedroom and living room should be taken as seriously as possible.

With the help of zoning, you can combine several functional areas at once in one space. If you approach this issue competently, then as a result you can get not only a comfortable and useful, but also a very attractive interior.

When dividing the bedroom and living area, you must adhere to the same style. To do this, you can turn to any direction that suits your taste - from timeless classics to French Provence.

If you are going to start direct repair work, you need to decide what exactly you want to see as a result of zoning. To do this, take into account all the characteristics and features of the room.

In no case should the bedroom be walk-through and be near the front door. In such conditions, healthy sleep and good rest are excluded. In addition, the walk-through bedroom will be very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

For this zone, it is recommended to choose the farthest corner of the space. Bedrooms look good in areas where there is a window.

Zone the remaining space under the hall. However, even this functional area is not recommended to be placed close to the doorway.

The separation of the bedroom and the hall involves the combination of sleep and wakefulness, therefore, designers are advised to refuse to supplement such a space with ceiling lamps and chandeliers. The best solution would be to have separate lighting for each of the zones.

The living room can contain a large number of lighting fixtures at all levels. They should be placed in different areas so that every corner of the living space is high-quality and sufficiently illuminated. To do this, you can use chandeliers, beautiful sconces, as well as additional lamps and tall floor lamps.

The bedroom area should not be overloaded with lighting items. A quieter, more subdued light is ideal for this space. You can complement the bedroom with matching lighting fixtures or elegant wall lamps with soft and warm lighting.

In these conditions, only a bed with a pair of bedside tables will look harmonious. Otherwise, the elements of the headset will be located not only in the bedroom, but also in the living room, which will look inharmonious.

If there is a large window behind the sofa, then it should be supplemented with contrasting curtains, which will also highlight the living room area.

In a small bedroom, it is recommended to allocate most of the space under the bed and refer to non-bulky objects (for zonal division).
