Fashionable design for a studio apartment

Studio is a modern, economical and comfortable type of housing. This type of apartment was borrowed from Europe and America, where he was popular with young people and bohemians, in a word, people free from prejudice and extra money.

Russia also appreciated the advantages of studio apartments: they are good for young people who do not want to live with their parents.

It is important that due to the correct design, they become truly comfortable for life and very attractive in appearance.

Why do some houses or apartments look harmonious, complete, while others are ridiculous and uncomfortable? It all depends on whether the uniform style is maintained in the design of the room. If we want our apartment to look “delicious”, reflect our inner world and addictions, we must choose a style that will be to our liking. And in the future you need to follow him in everything.

Many styles of architecture and art have formed the corresponding directions in the design. The most common are loft, Provence, hi-tech, Art Deco, fusion, etc. They best fit into the look of a modern apartment.

Loft

Loft в переводе означает «чердак». Дело в том, что в Америке в начале 19 в. рабочие, чтобы сэкономить на жилье, селились на верхних этажах или чердаках заводов и фабрик. Никакого особого ремонта они не делали, просто расставляли мебель и жили. Кирпичные стены, деревянные полы, разношерстная обстановка полюбилась также и представителями богемы. Со временем все это сформировалось в единый стиль, который назвали лофт. У него много поклонников на Западе, и постепенно он входит в нашу жизнь.

We can say that the loft is simply created for the design of an apartment-studio. The desire for simplicity, a single free space is embodied in this style and coincide with the idea of ​​the studio.

Provence

Those who still love the traditional comfort, with colored curtains on the windows, with a lot of decorative ornaments, most likely, will choose Provence style.

The name of one of the French provinces conveys innocent simplicity, rustic naivety in the desire to embellish the situation in all possible ways.

Patterns, ruffles, carving - the main design elements. Provence does not "save" on furniture. Bedside tables, dressers, dressing table and ottomans are generously placed in all corners. This style will be loved by romantic natures. He may well be embodied in the studio apartment, owned by a young girl, creating comfort with their own hands.

Embroidery, decoupage, knitted or sewn bedspreads and capes on furniture will perfectly complement this setting.

Great thing

This style can be completely opposed to Provence. He does not tolerate decor, every detail of the situation has a specific function. The interior resembles a clear drawing, rather than an ordinary living room. The decoration is dominated by glass, metal and plastic, and the decoration can be a black and white photo or an abstract pattern. Blinds are another excellent element of the interior of the apartment in high-tech styles.

The high-tech color scheme is more than neutral: beige, gray, silver, black and white colors play a leading role here. As an exception, you can add a bright spot in the form of a picture, a table or a table lamp, this will dilute the artificiality of the situation, add a sparkle of warmth and comfort to it. 

In its pure form, hi-tech denies any carpets, but in real life it is difficult to imagine an apartment, without any soft covering on the floor. Therefore, it is best to choose a solid rectangular carpet with a short nap. It will transform and “warm” the cold hi-tech interior.

Ar-deko

Ar-deko считается одним из самых необычных и изысканных стилей, используемых в современном дизайне. Он стал популярен в 20-е годы XX в. и был синонимом роскоши и гламура.

The main features of this style are expressed in the predominance of regular geometric patterns, zigzags, black and white tones, with the addition of emerald and sapphire colors, as well as expensive natural materials in the form of leather, fur, velvet, satin, etc.

A lot of gorgeous mirrors, brilliant and glossy surfaces have become the art deco card. Repeating this style in the interior of an ordinary apartment is not easy, but the more interesting will be the work.

What can you borrow for a studio apartment in this complex and challenging direction?

Of course, this is:

• beautiful spectacular mirrors;
• carpet with geometric or zigzag pattern;
• bronze or ceramic figurines;
• black and white colors;
• leather or velvet furniture.

Fusion

This is the most democratic and colorful design style. Everything is permissible in it, but the measure is the most difficult to observe.

Fusion is a mixture of all sorts of styles. We can choose high-tech elements, for example, a metallized TV stand, a rectangular beige convertible sofa and exotic vases and animal figurines, and lay a zebra skin carpet on the floor that will fit the decor style. On the windows you can also hang gentle romantic curtains with drapery, suitable, rather, to the style of Provence.

Of course, we will take into account the commonality of textures, colors and follow some basic direction. Otherwise, such a mix will look too ridiculous and destroy the overall style.

The fusion advantage in exclusiveness: each person can fantasize and add some new “notes” to the design, creating his own unique look at home.

How to plan a studio setting

In the same room we need to manage to arrange both the living room and the kitchen. In fact, it is not difficult. Much worse if we already had a tiny kitchenette. The studio has the opportunity to do as you like. And this is great!

How to arrange our home? Consider two ways of organizing space: the kitchen-dining room and living room.

First way

Think about what we would like to see an apartment? Emphasis can be placed on the kitchen area and turn it into a dining room, leaving a small corner for sleeping.

We choose a small but roomy set, it is desirable that the majority of cabinets be at the top, and below the stove and tabletop. We put a round table and a sofa. Complement the composition of a few stylish stools. The bed is separated either by a screen or a light rack.

The basis of the interior:

• sofa in the dining area;
• stylish table;
• compact kitchen.

Second way

Зону кухни мы сделаем почти незаметной, это будет просто рабочая зона. Furniture также максимально компактна, но цвета нейтральные, сливающиеся с общим фоном стен и пола. Акцент делаем на гостиной: большой телевизор, диван-трансформер, который будет служить перегородкой между двумя частями комнаты, и маленький столик. Используем яркие тона или рисунки.

In a small studio apartment avoid unnecessary partitions, they should be barely noticeable.

In this video you can see examples of how you can plan a studio with a dedicated sleeping area.

Pay attention to our article about multifunctional tables-transformers!

Kitchen in a studio apartment

The kitchen, of course, an important place in the house, but in the studio everything should be minimal. This also applies to household appliances and utensils. How to do so that we do not have to force the kitchen area?

• We will refuse a large refrigerator in favor of a small one (it can be put on a bedside table).
• We put the stove with two burners.
• If you really need an oven, choose a small one.
• Let's buy a slow cooker (it will do without a large number of pots and pans).

All this is logical, because this apartment is designed for one or two people, and you can not buy sets, sets of pots and so on, which means you do not need to put a lot of tables and cabinets. The dining table can stand in the kitchen or in the room, as it will be convenient for the owners.

How to choose furniture

In a large apartment, we can put anything, square meters will forgive us. However, the studio, even spacious, requires special furnishings.

The main qualities of the furniture:

• Matching a single style;
• The minimum number of elements;
• Multifunctional;
• Monochrome

It is better not to arrange the cabinets and dressers, but to limit yourself with a built-in wardrobe and a small bookcase. The overall style of furniture and design makes the space one. Multicolored furniture is good only with solid walls and ceiling.

You can try a mixture of styles, but neatly and slightly, because in a small room it will look pretentious and tasteless.

Design studio apartments of various sizes

Studio 20-30 square. m

We will pay special attention to the design and interior of a small studio, as it is difficult to cope with it.

In such an apartment is not easy to turn around, because this area includes not only the kitchen, hall and room, but also a bathroom. With him, and begin work.

Bathroom and toilet design

"Design", of course, is strongly said for this zakutka, but what we have ...

To begin with, we will make partitions (master finishers will advise you on the best material, and they will do this as well).

It is senseless to do an isolated bathroom, so we will put there a toilet, a tiny sink and a compact shower cubicle. The walls can be decorated with decorative plaster, so as not to suffer from the tile and not reduce the already tiny space. The floor will still have to put tile, and the ceiling can be simply painted.

See photos of bathroom design.

Design room and kitchen

Further we arrange the remaining space. If the window is one, then we conditionally divide it in half: one part for the kitchen, and the second for everything else. As we said, we need to save on everything. We get rid of everything unnecessary, so that the work area takes up very little space.

Table choose a folding, behind which one or two people can sit, and if necessary more. Or equip the bar counter, where you can eat every day and treat guests.

In the residential part we put a folding sofa and a small chair-pouf. TV can be hung on the wall. The main issue is the placement of things. They have to have a lot, because summer is not all year round. The best option for this is a large corner cabinet next to the entrance. It is in such cabinets is very much. By the way, you need to look for a sofa with drawers to put blankets, pillows, bed linen and other things there.

Which design will we choose? In order not to overload the space, we will focus on the loft or high-tech style. Suppose we chose a loft.

Walls

If the house is brick, you can leave a small corner without plaster. It will look defiant and stylish. The rest of the wall space is trimmed with white or beige color.

In a panel house, part of the wall can be laid out with natural or artificial stone, or you can create the effect of old chipped plaster. Of course, no wallpaper.

Floor

For the floor, choose a plank floor or a laminate similar in appearance.

Window

To create a single style, it is better to abandon plastic and put a wooden window. Curtains will be superfluous, and since empty windows in the evening will look uncomfortable, we will hang up wooden blinds.

Furniture

The sofa should be big, vintage-style, a bit shabby. If we furnish an apartment with old furniture, it will be perfect. Then we have a real loft! He allows diverse furniture, as if collected from different apartments.

Shine

A single ceiling on a chain is what is needed for such an apartment. For better lighting, use the old lamp in the hallway and an extra lamp in the kitchen.

The video shows examples of the design of a small studio apartment.

Design studio for a family with a child

To make living with your child comfortable, you need to take into account a lot when planning a studio. Immediately determine the place where he will sleep, put toys and things.

A child will like it if there are funny wallpapers in his corner and a bed mat for children. For things you can put a chest of drawers, and for toys boxes.

Requirements for children's area:

• good light,
• sufficient moisture (it is very harmful for a child to sleep at the battery),
• environmentally friendly materials.

If the square still allows, we will make a partition in the kitchen. So we can cook food when the baby is sleeping. In the kitchen, you can hang a small TV to watch late at night or at a quiet time.

The rest of the same tips: multifunctional roomy furniture, a maximum of free space (the child needs to run somewhere), modern lighting, soft colors.

How to make repairs in a studio apartment

Most often we purchase such an apartment in a new building and for self-finishing. This makes it possible to do everything according to your taste and desire.

Highlights:

• We prepare a perfectly flat floor (this is necessary for any coating).
• Align the walls.
• We think over what material we will make the partition for the bathroom, taking into account moisture resistance, noise insulation, strength).
• We do not save on the quality of materials.

The harmonious design and interior of the apartment depends on the right repair, so you should not rush and chase for cheapness.
