The material in this article will help readers familiarize themselves with the nuances of the design of small bedrooms with an area of 5-6 square meters. m
Layout Features
It's no secret that a small bedroom often has not the best layout. Inexplicably located windows, the presence of niches and protruding protrusions make it uncomfortable immediately upon entry. Sloping walls, narrow doorways, and the wrong approach to choosing and arranging furniture can aggravate the situation. That is why the room may seem visually heavy and littered with things, which in reality there are not so many.
A small bedroom is usually poorly lit, which has to be made up correctly selected backlight. In addition, it can be walk-through, have an uneven height ceiling that needs to be adjusted. And this forces you to create a frame, which reduces the height of the walls. Since it’s difficult to understand how to create coziness in such a room, one has to resort to various techniques, draw up preliminary projects in search of the best option.
When drawing up a design scheme in such bedrooms, you should use zoning techniques. It is they in most cases that allow you to fit the necessary set of furniture, without transferring to the main purpose of the room. In this case, the bed should remain the main focus of the room.Zoning takes into account a number of planning issues, introducing an unobtrusive organization into space.
In small bedrooms, literally every seemingly trifle matters, starting from the style and size of furniture, color scheme, choosing a place for a bed, and ending with the selection of accessories. When designing a small bedroom must be guided by the principle of optimal use of each square. see usable area.
For example, if there is a lack of quadrature, it is advisable to use a certain type of curtains, relying on the small size and lightness of the textile.
Style selection
The style of the bedroom 5-6 square meters should adhere to brevity. And therefore, the classical branches of interior design, which need space and a demonstration of palace pomposity, cannot be used here. Given that it is impossible to use stucco molding, carving and a massive chandelier, the directions of the classic, neoclassic, baroque cannot be considered. The English and Italian styles, which differ in the craving for the massiveness of the interior, are not suitable for arranging a small bedroom.
In general, attachment to another specific style will give the room greater aesthetics and will create an atmosphere of home comfort. In a room of 2x3 m, you can look at such design areas as Scandinavian style, minimalism, conservatism.
It will not work to recreate a loft, if only because it is a style of spaciousness, moreover with an open plan. However, you can try to issue an eco.
The best options for such bedrooms would be minimalistic styles. With them, furniture is used only the most necessary, so as not to reduce the already insufficient space. The same rule applies to color solutions: variegation is unacceptable here, as well as an abundance of contrasts. Modern trends in style allow using materials with a texture that visually increases the quadrature in design. Brutalism, constructivism, contemporaryism are suitable.
Of course, to design a bedroom in 6 squares in the spirit of Art Nouveau, Art Deco or Art Nouveau, you need to try. It is difficult to make it in the Provence style due to the need to use textiles with a colorful pattern that visually gives space a bounded place. However, modern ergonomic solutions here will be quite handy.
In addition, you can overcome the lack of footage by using the Chinese or even African style, vintage, ethno, manga, ont-art.
Color palette
The color schemes of small bedrooms may be different. However, despite this, when arranging small-sized rooms, it is preferable to use light colors. They have the ability to visually increase the space, make it more airy, comfortable and easier to read.
Vivid strokes should be added carefully to the main background, as their abundance can radically change the interior perception for the worse.
White color must be present in the interior, it softens the other tones used and visually increases the space. Also look good in small spaces milky, beige, creamy tones, ivory, blue and lilac. The choice of this or that color will be subject to the style of the interior, as well as the side that the bedroom windows face.
If they are facing north, the room seems cold, and therefore use here cold and bluish tones is not worth it. When the windows are facing south, the room seems warm, and therefore it is undesirable to overload it with warm and bright colors. In general, tones for small bedrooms should be muted. Neutral colors (light gray, silver, white) are also suitable. However, they should be diluted with emotional companions (pistachio, green, lavender, smoky blue, steel, wine color).
Wall, floor and ceiling decoration
The best option for wall decoration in a small bedroom will be wallpaper. Moreover, they can be both traditional and non-standard. For example, a bedroom will look beautiful with textured textile wallpaper, and with liquid, and even with photo frames. At the same time, the canvases can be very different, as well as their placement.
Say, with wallpaper-accents (photo wallpaper or wallpaper), you can select a place at the head, a niche in the head, and protrusions on both sides of the bed. In addition, they can be used to accentuate part of the wall opposite the bed. They will also look good in the form of a small panel on one of the walls.
The rest of the walls look better when not oversaturated with a pattern or color.
In this case, the wallpaper itself can be textured, embossed, with a texture, for example, burlap or silk. As for the floor, the best option for it would be to use linoleum or laminate. The colors of the floor cladding should be soft, muffled. Ideally, these could be shades of light wood.
Tile in a small bedroom is not needed, carpet is quite appropriate.
Ceiling design can be different (for example, stretch, drywall, combined). However, given the limited room in the quadrature, something complicated is inappropriate here, because frame systems with a lack of space create an oppressive atmosphere in the room. The colors of the ceiling decoration in the bedroom 2x3 m can overlap with the color of the upholstery, print wallpaper, any accessory.
How to furnish?
Furniture in a tiny bedroom should be few. This is what will create the illusion of space. However, given the fact that it’s completely impossible to do without furniture, will have to beat the situation through various tricks. For example, objects of arrangement in addition to focusing on compact size can be folding, transforming, as well as built-in.
If there is not enough space on the floor, you need to buy those items which can be hung on the wall. As for the bed, please note: it should not have a massive headboard, powerful backs, carved curved legs. All this visually steals space, as does the large height of the bed.
In addition, you must choose light furniture to make the room seem more comfortable and spacious.
For the arrangement, you can purchase small curbstones. Their design should be as simple as possible, and the height equal to the height of the bed. You need to put them as close to the bed as possible. If the floor option seems rustic, you can attach the cabinets to the wall on the sides of the bed. Above the bed can be placed shelf, a small rack. A small headboard can be placed in a niche.
An ideal option is the built-in option. Optimally, if its facades are mirrored: this will visually increase the space and make it more comfortable.
If there is absolutely no space for the cabinet, you can do with hinged shelves or shelving. With a lack of usable area, both a bed and other pieces of furniture should be not only compact, but also functional.
When arranging a small room with a single window, the bed is often put on the headboard exactly to it. In this case, parts of the wall on either side of the window can be used under niches or shelves of the mounted type. If you can see with the naked eye that there is practically no space in width, it’s worth making a podium, rather than trying to leave tracks on the sides. The podium can be made with shelves or drawers.
In addition, it can have a step that will raise the bed to its usual height, and at the same time it will allow you to place an improvised dresser under it. Having laid a thick mattress on the upper step, supplementing it with pastel accessories, you can get an effective version of the sleeping bed. At the same time, if the shelf seems irrelevant, the same shelf can be created from the windowsill. By the way, the place under it can also be used for a niche or a pair of shelves.
Lighting
The lighting solution of a small bedroom depends on how the bed is located in it and how much light needs to be replenished for a comfortable stay. The choice of lighting devices will depend from the type of ceiling design. For example, if it is a stretch film, you can decorate the ceiling with spotlights, placing them along the perimeter with equal pitch. If desired, the stretch ceiling can be decorated with light panels, small chandeliers or LED strips.
If before bedtime, households like to read, you need to add a couple of wall to the ceiling light. They are placed on the wall both on both sides of the bed, and on the bedside tables, and even on the floor. Design dependent additional lighting can be mounted in an accent wall.
In addition, it can arrange racks and mirrors. If this is the attic lighting, the lamps will be located on the walls, which are the slopes of the roof. Moreover, their location will be subject to the location of the windows, which in some cases are not so much inclined as vertical and can be located above the bed.
