Narrow Bedroom Design Ideas

Buying an apartment, the owners do not always become owners of a perfectly square or spacious rectangular bedroom. Quite often, a narrow and elongated room turns out to be in ownership, in which even at first glance it is not clear how to arrange the furniture. A similar problem occurs during redevelopment, when the large living room is divided into a narrow bedroom and a small room.

According to housing regulations, the width of the bedroom should be at least 2.5 meters. This indicator is not particularly convenient for furniture and a comfortable stay. In the "Khrushchev" the situation is even worse - a narrow rectangular bedroom is only 2.25 meters wide. Sometimes a situation with a very long room occurs when the length of some walls is several times longer than others.

It is problematic to draw up a design project in the situation when the bedroom is rectangular, but you need to place too much furniture and personal items in it.

For a narrow bedroom, designers distinguish 4 basic layout options.

• When using the first - all furniture is installed along one wall.
• L-shaped layout allows you to use one long and one short wall.Such a solution is likely to look good in a room with one window at the end, since the space at the only light source will remain uncluttered.
• U-shaped layout it fills 3 walls with furniture, but in the middle there should be enough space for comfortable movement.
• There is, besides this, and design layout with asymmetric distribution of objectsresembling a chess arrangement.

It makes sense to use the partition only if there are windows on both sides, otherwise there will be too little light in one part of the narrow room. This, incidentally, applies to a room with a balcony, often "stealing" daylight. In an elongated space, zoning is best done using varying finishes, lighting or oversized furniture. For example, a dressing area from the area of ​​the bedroom itself can be distinguished by an elegant screen or curtains.

The interior of an ordinary bedroom can be decorated using any design, but options for a narrow room have certain limitations. It looks best in a narrow room Scandinavian style. In most cases, it is decorated in light shades, and is also multifunctional. Natural materials and simple, non-overloaded parts create a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Color accents are placed using lamps and textiles, as well as unusual textures.

They will look good indoors and such styles as hi-tech and minimalism. Since they do not require an excessive amount of decorative elements, and also apply colors that well correct the unsuccessful configuration of the space, the bedroom will look calm and free.

If the room is planned for boys or girls, then you still do not need to fill it with clumsy furniture and glue wallpapers with an abundance of cartoon characters. Better to take as an example decoration for children in the Scandinavian style - they look very stylish, but at the same time meet the requirements of a narrow room.

Classic styles are used in such a space only in their modern versions. Pathos and luxurious details look redundantly the same as bright colors, numerous patterns and details.

Light colors look best in a narrow room, since dark ones emphasize bad geometry. In addition, the bedroom palette should relax, and therefore bright colors will have to be abandoned. Work well in elongated space white, milky, light gray and hazel shades.

For a more romantic interior fit pistachio, pale blue, light green, peach, pink colors.

Ecostylistics will not do without coniferous, brown, sand and other natural tones. It is not forbidden to combine a couple of colors, painting narrow walls in darker, and adjacent ones in light shades.

Starting to pick up materials for repair - wallpaper or other coating - try to acquire environmentally friendly and "breathing" options. For the bedroom floor, parquet or laminate is most suitable, which are easy to care for and easy to lay.

The panels in this case should be laid out parallel to a narrow wall so as not to increase the elongation of the room. A small square rug will look nice in the center. It’s important not to forget that the floor should in any case be darker than the walls and ceiling.

The walls of the bedroom can be correctly painted in a uniform tone or taped with wallpaper, plain or with simple geometric patterns. A saturated shade is acceptable for designing a narrow side. To expand the space, use a horizontal strip. The ceiling is best left in plain white without any designer additions.

To visually expand the room, most importantly, do not place lamps around the perimeter. It is much more correct to place a large chandelier in the center for the main illumination, and then carry out zoning with the help of different-sized lamps: wall, table and floor. The latter should be placed asymmetrically.

To visually appealingly and comfortably furnish a room, you must first select the furniture of the correct form. A bad decision would be to place all of it near one wall, otherwise the illusion of a corridor, rather than living space, will appear. The bed should become the main center of the room. You can place it either along a long wall or across.

Experts recommend choosing beds with individual legs, not a holistic panel below. Even if it is beautifully designed, for example, the color of wenge, this will visually make the space heavier. In a very narrow room, it makes sense to put a folding sofa.

It will create a free passage, not interfere with the use of the room throughout the day, and at night perform the required function. It is recommended to install the cabinet near a narrow wall, as well as consider the possibility of replacing a massive object with hanging shelves.

A work or dressing table feels best at the window to provide the necessary amount of daylight. If this does not work, then the desktop should be adapted for zoning the space, placing it along or across the wall.

The arrangement of the apartment is impossible without the use of decor. Wanting to get a narrow room First of all, it makes sense to think about a mirror. Placing it on a part of a long wall, it will visually expand the space a little. The main thing is not to put it near a narrow wall, because this will play the opposite effect. The rest of the design should be just moderate. On the windows it is better to place a translucent tulle or even blinds.

Numerous ideas on Russian and foreign sites allow them to be adopted and create your own unique and catchy design for an elongated narrow bedroom.

Valuable square meters are saved by replacing a large cabinet with several long shelves located directly above the bed. A drawing is also applied to the opposite wall, also visually expanding the room, creating the effect of moving into the distance. The white ceiling with a laconic chandelier does not steal extra meters. Light walls, textiles and most of the accessories create a relaxed, pleasant atmosphere. A pair of nightstands and a simple carpet are needed as a balance of dark objects.

A little girlish, but light room is obtained using pink shades. Thanks to the placement of the mirror opposite the window, it turned out to add a room of extra square meters. The walls are not overloaded with patterns, since the wallpaper covers only one wall. The necessary zoning of the space provides a multifunctional rack.

It was a very unusual but interesting solution to paint the entire room white, and then hang the windows on both sides with white opaque tulle. The bed and bedside table are also selected white, but here is the textile - the bedspread and pillows attract the eye with a bright pattern. A couple of bright spots are round floral arrangements. From the lighting, spotlights under the ceiling and a pair of chandeliers with long cords were selected.

It looks extremely unusual bedroom, the bed in which is set directly to the window. Perhaps this is not too functional and convenient, but it saves quite a lot of space. A narrow, but long mirror, "launched" along a long wall, slightly expands the space. As a table and a place to store things selected narrow console.
