Making it sometimes turns out to be a difficult task, since the small footage does not even allow you to normally place the bed. therefore thinking over the project, it is necessary to choose the right colors, style, light, furniture forms in order to visually increase the space.
Layout Features
The bedroom, whose area is 7-8 square meters. m, quite often found in the "Khrushchev", and sometimes after redevelopment, she even remains without a window. It happens that the owners of a 2 by 4 meter space should have a full bedroom-living room in limited conditions.
When the bedroom serves only as a resting place, most often the bed is placed at the head of a window or against a long wall. Free space is filled with furniture for storage.
The bedroom-living room requires replacing the bed with a folding sofa, and then the furniture is arranged depending on the shape of the room.
Suitable shades
For a small bedroom, light shades are more suitable, adding air to the space. Bright gloss, in general, should not be used in the bedroom, since it does not meet the main task - to create a space of calm and relaxation. In order not to be mistaken in the future, be able to change the style of the room without a full repair, it is better to choose white or pastel shades: pistachio, mint, pale blue, soft lemon or pink.
Style solutions
A bedroom with an area not exceeding 8 square meters creates certain restrictions when choosing a style.Preference should be given to the fact that they do not require a large number of details, colorful patterns and bright colors.
The easiest way to create a room in such a modern style as minimalism. It requires calm shades, strict forms and the absence of excessive decor. As a rule, black, gray and white colors are used for decoration. The necessary accents are placed with the help of small elements of a darker shade. The bed is low.
Modern gives you the opportunity to play more with color and show your imagination. For example, it is allowed to equip a door with a stained-glass window, and choose more intricate fixtures. Again, the textile allows you to use more interesting shades, for example, lilac interspersed with gray pearl.
For the bedroom in classic style Suitable wooden furniture, the use of wall mirrors and floral elements in the decor.
Japanese style close to minimalism, but characterized by some features. For example, in such a bedroom you can not do without a neat indoor bonsai, curtains, devoid of frills, as well as a screen.
Finish
The design of the ceiling, floor and walls in a small bedroom plays a very important role, because by choosing the right shades and materials, you can visually add square meters and correct irregular shapes.
Floor
For the design of the bedroom floor area of 7-8 square meters, a laminate or parquet is most suitable. Lay individual parts diagonally - this layout expands the room. Color can be any, but necessarily darker than walls and ceiling. Besides, it should match the rest of the room.
If you want to add a rug as a decor, it is important to choose either a plain option or with clear geometric patterns.
Ceiling
The easiest way is to paint the ceiling of the 7-meter bedroom with white paint or plaster it with the same shade. Any pastel shade will also be appropriate. The main thing is not to abuse the decor and volumetric elements, and also not to use a multi-level system. Currently, quite often a stretch ceiling is selected with a matte or glossy finish. This option for surface design for a miniature room will be successful.
Walls
To cover the walls most often chosen wallpaper, paint or decorative plaster. Regardless of the material, they must be light to create the desired visual effect. It is better to choose warm shades that create the atmosphere of calm and relaxation necessary for the bedroom. Optimum are beige, cream, peach or ivory. One of the sides is not forbidden to decorate with wallpaper with geometric or floral patterns in soothing colors.
Such a decision may even increase the size of the room, for example, if the choice is made in favor of horizontal stripes. It is better to leave all others monophonic. The “main” wall, which is painted either in contrast or in bright color, selects the one that is located behind the head of the bed.
Quite often for the design of miniature bedrooms are used photo wallpaper. The image should visually work to expand the space, for example, flowering fields, seascape, terrace, beyond which the city extends. It is important that the photo wallpaper matches the general style of the room and the color palette.
Furniture selection and placement
Small room with an area of 7.5 square meters. m allows you to use only multifunctional and fairly compact furniture. As a rule, for such a bedroom, a bed of a suitable size, a spacious, but not bulky wardrobe, and also miniature nightstands are enough. You should not add those items that are not used in the bedroom, or those that can be dispensed with. The cabinet should choose such a model that has a depth of 35 to 40 centimeters. They are not very deep, but allow you to place all the necessary personal items.
The use of a sliding wardrobe with mirrors, again meeting the main purpose, is welcome expansion of space.
A built-in wardrobe with glass or glossy facades will look good.
It is better to choose a bed simple without protruding details or excessive decor. Successful are models equipped with drawers in which you can store bedding, towels or personal items. When placing a bed in a room, you should try so that there is enough free space for its use, including the extension of drawers. A good solution would be a model with a lifting mechanism that opens up storage space.
Bedside tables are better to choose those that will be combined with the bed. For a small bedroom, light and simple models are more suitable, for example, in the form of tables on one leg or stools with an additional shelf. The curbstones look interesting, as well as the hanging shelves mounted directly above the head of the bed. They create additional storage space, look interesting, but do not overload the space.
If possible, put the cabinet in the corner.. If there is not enough space for a full-fledged interior item, then you should give preference to the dresser and complement it with a mobile hanger. It also makes sense to consider an idea with a high rack. In the case when it is impossible to install two nightstands, you need to put either one, or, in general, abandon the idea, limiting yourself to a dressing table.
Lighting organization
Lighting in a small room can radically transform the room. It is optimal to center a nice, but not very large lamp, and put table lamps on the bedside tables next to the bed or hang lamps next to them. The style of the selected models should create the effect of lightness and comfort. Stretch ceiling can be equipped with spotlights.
Textiles and Decor Elements
The main thing is not to overload the interior with a large number of things in a small room. Rest is not possible in a cluttered room: for example, if you make the bedside space with boxes of things, your eyes will stumble on them all the time, and your mood will deteriorate. From the decor it is best to choose paintings, photographs and a variety of textiles. Photos will look good if you organize them in the form of a thoughtful collage, and choose something abstract in a concise frame as a picture.
From textiles, pillows, bedspreads and window curtains cannot be dispensed with. The color palette is better to choose warm or neutral. Plain objects and patterns are also appropriate, but in both cases it is important either to combine them with the overall design of the space, or to create an appropriate contrast.
Lightweight translucent tulle or solid plain curtains made of natural materials should be hung on the windows.
Interesting examples
When the apartment has only 8 square meters allocated to the bedroom, this does not mean that its design will be boring. The room looks beautiful and unusual, the central object of which is the bed, looking directly out the window. The use of white for walls, as well as pastel colors for the floor and the bed itself allows you to add contrasting accents as decorative elements.
In this case, three-colored curtains combining white, gray and yellow, as well as several yellow pillows, become a bright spot. The rest of the decor is a series of black and white photographs of different sizes, asymmetrically located on the walls. The remaining space is occupied by storage spaces.
For decoration and furniture of another bedroom, white and other pastel shades are also used. Furniture, by the way, looks extremely concise - a rectangular bedside table, a pair of the same shelves and a small hanging cabinet. On the floor lies a calm striped rug of natural shades that resonates with bedding, plants and some decorative elements.For lighting, a ceiling lamp, a table lamp and a bed headlight are used.
Creating a bedroom-living room with a limited footage is a very difficult task, but it can be solved with high ceilings. In this case, the bed was tucked away under the ceiling, as a result of which there was a space below for storing clothes and a reading area. Opposite is a sofa in a calm blue hue. As a color basis, white is used, in some places supplemented with black stripes. A few decor is presented in blue and green colors.
