Ideas and interior design options for a studio apartment

The living space in the studio is not divided by walls. A separate room is allocated only for the bathroom. It's great that you can decide for yourself where the bedroom, living room or kitchen will be. But this opportunity in fact for many turns into the problem of zoning. New settlers can not understand how to fit all the necessary functions in a single space. Here are some of the tricks you should use for zoning.

Advantages and disadvantages

The main advantage of the studio is an excess of light and open space, living in them is ideal for creativity, they create the effect of the absence of any obstacles. Many decide to redevelop small two-bedroom apartments, sometimes houses for this reason. With the free layout of the square studio, it becomes possible to implement any design project. The layout of the studio apartment can be divided into different functional areas. If necessary, when demolishing the walls, you can always leave space for the dressing room.

The concept of "studio apartment" means a dwelling without internal partitions

The advantage of small studios is their relatively low price, which depends directly on the number of sq.m.

• violation of the organization of space after the birth of a child,
• the impossibility of the existence of several people in one mode,
• the need to install a powerful hood,
• a special approach to the selection of furniture.

Before redevelopment, it is necessary to consider a large number of permits, draw up a project, a housing plan.

Functional area planning and arrangement

The standard studio has an area of ​​20-50 square meters, there are always enough ideas for designing even such a small space. Functional zones make it possible to distinguish between living space for different interests, which is important when several people live in an apartment. When planning a European studio apartment, certain requirements must be observed.

The rooms in the studio apartment seem more spacious because they have no boundaries

Basic techniques for dividing space

The following items are used as demarcation means:

• curtains, screens, partitions - are characterized by mobility, designed to distinguish zones for sleep,
• wardrobes, table, sofa - provide the most functional differentiation of space,
• lighting,
• bar counter - helps to separate the kitchen from the living space, suitable for storing dishes,
• various shades, finishing materials.

The easiest way to divide the space - curtains suspended on the ceiling cornice

When dividing the room with partitions, their design should correspond to the general interior style

How to visually expand the space

The amount of furniture in the studio should be minimal, objects should be chosen compact. First you need to determine the functions of space, which will help to make a studio plan faster. It is recommended to replace the bed with a folding sofa, a bar counter is installed instead of a table. To store things you should use the mezzanine, not a bulky cabinet.

Lighting plays a major role in the visual expansion of the studio apartment

Space Expansion Techniques:

• organization of storage places - the studio layout involves the placement of sliding wardrobes, drawers under the bed in the room, if necessary, in the store you should choose such functional pieces of furniture,
• decoration of light shades - everyone can repaint the walls, update textiles, re-stick the wallpaper,
• lighting organization - all angles (sconces, floor lamps) should be lit in the studio, tulle will be an excellent alternative to heavy curtains, drapes,
• installation of mirrors - mirror surfaces create the illusion of increasing space in any room.

A completely mirrored wall will visually double the space of the room

Functional use of space

So, you have already decided how to divide the apartment into zones. Another important question to think about: how to use these zones? The ideal solution is to choose furniture that does not take up much space and performs several functions at once. We understand examples.

In the photo, the dining table and the kitchen area flow smoothly into the office. Two functions are performed by one narrow tabletop, which does not take up much space and defines a clear boundary between the kitchen and the cabinet.

The design on which the bed is located also performs the function of storage.

In the photo, the office and bedroom areas occupy as much space in space as a single bed would occupy in a standard layout apartment. It's simple: the bed is located on the second tier, and under it is a cozy study.

The folding sofa does not take up much space when assembled, and at night provides an extra bed if guests decide to stay.

Design

And finally, when all the problems with zoning have been resolved, it is worth considering what style your apartment will be decorated in. Most often, studios are decorated in a Scandinavian or minimalist style using bright accents. We have selected several examples of bright, beautiful studios for inspiration, taking into account the rules we have already learned.

In a small space in the photo four rooms coexist: study, kitchen, bedroom and living room. A crystal chandelier stands for living space, and a work table is the border of the kitchen and the bed. The prevailing white color is enlivened by bright accents: red pillows, a retro carpet, patterned bedding and fresh flowers.

In the photo, the living room rises above the level of the kitchen and dining room, and an unusual ceiling creates an emphasis on the background of a bright interior.

Using built-in appliances saves space in the kitchen and creates a neat appearance. Be sure to use the hood: without it, unpleasant odors in the absence of walls will spread throughout the apartment.

Using eco-friendly materials (wood flooring and furniture) is a good solution. In this embodiment, the design is excellent: mats of different colors indicate areas, while maintaining a single style in the interior.

So you got acquainted with the basic rules that must be followed when arranging a studio apartment. Go ahead and remember that any rules are the basis for your imagination and resourcefulness! Sometimes less is more if you approach the matter wisely!

What is a studio apartment?

The concept of "studio" (English "studio") in the meaning of housing came to the post-Soviet countries from the United States. There it originated in the twenties of the last century. It meant budget housing for small families. At that time, the United States was faced with the problem of housing shortage in large cities. The reason for this was a huge wave of immigrants from Europe and Asia. So immigrants and simply not rich young Americans needed inexpensive housing, but with all the modern benefits of civilization.

And the studio apartment was an excellent solution to the housing problem for many young families and students of North America at the beginning of the twentieth century. After all, despite the small area, it included a bathroom, kitchen, shower and the living space itself. Partitions and walls between zones were not implied. Also in the studio there are basically two doors: the front door and the bathroom door. But over time, from a budget housing studio apartment began to move into the category of modern prestigious housing.The studio has turned into a huge field for the flight of design ideas and creative solutions.

It is worth noting that the idea of ​​combining a kitchen, a bathroom and a living space in one room without walls did not come to the territory of the CIS countries either during the time of the Russian Empire or after the revolution. Such an architectural and planning decision gained popularity with us only in the late nineties. Moreover, even today, living quarters are not being built with a plan for combining the dining room and the living quarters. They are done by cleaning partitions and walls, as well as a complete redevelopment of the apartment. In general, architects and designers usually have a different definition of the concept of a studio apartment. But all experts agree that this is a residential building without rigid partitions and the presence of only entrance doors and doors to the bathtub and toilet.

Laconicism of forms and color combinations is also continued in the studio bathroom from the tandem of designers Concretica. This is a demonstration of how stylish budget decisions in decoration can be.

Today, such a layout is very popular in many developed cities. Moreover, such housing is presented both in low and high price categories of real estate. Inexpensive studio apartments are usually built from one-room or two-room apartments of small area. Also on the real estate market are presented residential premises of such a large-area layout with many zones and an original division of the boundaries of these zones. Such apartments already belong to prestigious and expensive residential premises. But, despite such popularity, officially there are no building norms and planning standards for a studio apartment in the Russian Federation.

The advantages of planning a living space without partitions

The arrangement of the studio does not necessarily carry the goal of saving space by combining zones. Very often, architects and designers remove partitions and walls for the sake of fashion, to make housing stylish and modern. Also, such a decision on the layout of the living space will allow the owner to impress a person with a refined taste. Design projects of studios are very popular among architects. Indeed, most redevelopment of apartments is carried out on individual projects on order. Moreover, the redevelopment of apartments provides a wide range of opportunities and a huge field for the flight of imagination of professional designers and architects. By designing a living space for a studio, you can hone your design skills in many styles by combining different areas in one room.

Studio apartments have these advantages relative to other types of layouts:

1. If the apartment was originally not enough usable area, then this problem can be partially solved by cleaning partitions and walls.Indeed, in this case, it is much easier to operate the open space of the apartment without restrictions. You can achieve maximum functionality in the arrangement of furniture.
2. An open-plan apartment is an excellent solution for a small family or a bachelor. It is great to throw parties and hold events with the reception of guests.
3. The layout of the studio apartment allows you to make the entire interior of the living room in any one architectural style. Or apply several styles in one residential volume, dividing different areas of the room in this way.
4. In order to get from the sofa to the refrigerator, you need to walk less. Indeed, to move around the apartment do not need corridors and doors.
5. Using the layout of the studio apartment, you can correctly position the audio equipment to achieve perfect acoustics. This will be a great solution for home theater lovers and music lovers.

It is worth remembering that to create a cozy studio apartment you need to follow certain rules:

• in the interior, the predominance of light tones is desirable,
• furniture should be mobile and functional, occupy a minimum of space,
• It is worth using combined lighting from several sources of different intensities.

Advice! Glass and mirror surfaces visually increase the living space. They can also serve as partitions for different areas in the studio.

Glass tinted sliding partitions on rails - a spectacular visual illusion that makes the room bigger than it really is

Do not resort to an excessive amount of decor. And on the windows it is not advisable to hang large classic curtains. All this visually clutters the studio space and reduces the useful volume of the living space.

General plan of both levels

In the design of an open-plan apartment, an important issue is the zoning of the space of the room. First of all, it is worth paying attention to the location of the bathroom and toilet. This is important because they usually already have water supply and sewage systems.

Continuing the theme of black and white design of a compact studio

If the bathroom remains the same, then it is worth considering how to further isolate it from the rest of the housing. Once you have decided on the toilet and bath, you can plan the interior of the studio itself. A standard apartment usually has a kitchen next to the bathroom. But in the case of open planning, you can arrange the zones in the way that suits you best. But next to the toilet should not have a sleeping area with a bed. This can create a lot of inconvenience. Also, there is no need to put a sleeping bed next to the front door. Usually it is located on the far side from the entrance and the bathroom, partially closed by a partition, wardrobe or sideboard. Thus visually creates the feeling of a separate room.

Natural tones and natural materials - always a win-win choice for housing any area

Compact storage to keep fit in a small bathroom

A large mirror is another trick that helps to visually expand the space throughout the house.

The next area will be the kitchen-dining room. Its location is the most diverse and original. Most often in a rectangular layout it is placed next to the wall opposite the windows. If you have free space, you can create many more residential areas. It can be a living area or a game room. All zones can be divided using glass, mirror partitions, place high aquariums between them. They can also be divided using the height of the floor or ceiling, separated by different types of lighting and decoration.

So, a studio apartment is an excellent solution for modern creative people who have not yet been burdened by family hardships. This layout allows you to create original and modern apartments in a relatively small living space. Due to the absence of partitions and walls, you can significantly save living space and realize the most unusual design decisions, while turning a modest apartment into a cozy work of art.

Design options for different rooms in a studio apartment

After planning the design of the studio, you should decide on the zones. The situation is much improved with a balcony or loggia. It can always be combined with a kitchen or a room, it can be converted into an office, library or other room (insulation must be carried out beforehand).

On the insulated balcony you can make a study

Kitchen and dining area

An important role in the arrangement of the kitchen space is played by household appliances. The hood model must be powerful enough to prevent odors from entering the living space. Savings in this case are not allowed, since we are talking not only about the comfort of living, but also about the health of the inhabitants of the apartment.

An excellent design solution is to separate the kitchen space from the rest of the room with a bar counter

• the balcony (if any) should be combined with the kitchen,
• corner furniture - will help to save space,
• dining table - the best option is to extend the tabletop from the windowsill or install it at an angle to the wall.

If necessary, the bar counter can replace the dining table

Bedroom and work area

The place for sleeping should be located at the maximum distance from the door to the apartment, it is recommended to separate it from the rest of the space using a screen or partition. The best option in this case is the installation of a wardrobe bed. A window sill can be used as a workplace; it is suitable for storing documents, papers. If there is free space, the desktop should also be placed closer to the window.

Hallway

When separating the hallway, it is recommended to use all kinds of tools - changing the height of the ceiling, the shade of the walls or floor. To save space, a sliding wardrobe, a bookcase with books, an aquarium built into the cabinet, and stands for plants will help.

As storage systems, it is desirable to use built-in cabinets that significantly save space

Options for interior styles for a studio apartment

The choice of design style for the studio depends on the number of people living in it. A classic style, Provence style, loft are suitable for a family. One person will feel great in decorated in modern housing, loft or high-tech styles.

Loft. The industrial style is ideal for rooms with high ceilings, due to which you can create a second level. Brick walls should be cleaned of plaster or imitation masonry. Characteristic features of this style are also wires laid on top of the wall, and ragged surfaces. All this goes well with upholstered furniture, comfortable sofas.

Rectangular

In almost all apartment buildings, studio apartments are rectangular in shape, which creates additional problems when creating a design. When choosing home decoration options, the following features should be considered:

• the location of functional areas along long walls,
• bathroom, hallway - at the door,
• bedroom - opposite the kitchen,
• kitchen furniture - along the wall,
• working area, living room - by the window.

You can visually expand an elongated room with light finishes, mirror surfaces, screens and partitions

The principles of planning a square studio are very similar, the only difference is the same length of the walls.

The square-shaped room has great potential and is an ideal option for repair

Single window

The main difficulty in creating an interior in such a room is the need to arrange furniture, it should not litter the room. An excellent way out of the situation is the installation of mirrors, they can be used to decorate the whole wall, ceiling. The reflective surface opposite the window opening will help to make the room brighter. Glossy, mirror surfaces of furniture and finishing materials also contribute to the expansion of space. Near the window it is recommended to place a living room, a working area.

The most inconvenient option is a narrow elongated apartment with one window. Here, all furniture must be placed along the walls, freeing up the center for light and passage as much as possible.

With two windows

A standard studio with two windows is a little different. Two windows, if located on the long side, can be used to distinguish between zones. A kitchen space should be placed next to one window, a living room with another, and a dining room between them. When planning a studio with two windows, all furniture should be arranged in accordance with the functional areas.

It is better to arrange furniture so that it does not block window openings

Partitions can also be used to install shelves for storing decor. If there is a large space between the windows there should be installed a TV, on the contrary should plan a place for furniture for relaxation.

How to surface in a studio apartment

Finishing materials, their texture, shades can also play an important role in the zoning of the studio.

• Wall decoration and decoration. When decorating the walls in the studio, preference should be given to light shades, which will maximize the space, as well as mirrors.
• Floor finishes and types of floor coverings. Flooring should work well. When decorating the kitchen space, tiles should be used, parquet, laminate, linoleum are suitable for the living area. The transitions between them can be smooth or geometric.
• Ceiling and decoration. When designing the ceiling, the shape of the ceiling plays an important role. When differentiating different zones, it is recommended to use different levels, cut out geometric shapes, colors. All these options are available when decorating false ceilings, after which the studio interior and layout as in the photo takes on a different look. Lighting also plays an important role, before carrying out repairs, a drawing must be drawn up, a design.

Light finish helps visually enlarge the room and give it comfort

Studio apartment: what is it

This concept came to us from the United States, where it originated in the early twentieth century. This option of budget housing was designed for a small family. In those years, America was swept by a wave of immigrants from Asia and Europe who needed cheap living space with modern amenities. This option was convenient for small American families and students.

What is a studio apartment? How does she look? A photo of a 1-room apartment shows that it combined living space, a bathroom, a shower, a kitchen, located in a small area without walls and partitions. The exception was a bathroom fenced by a wall. Over time, this layout of the apartment moved into the category of prestigious modern housing, where designers could realize creative ideas and bold design decisions. A clear proof of this are the interesting photos of the interiors of studio apartments of 20 sq.m.

Spacious studio with loft style elements

In our country, a studio apartment gained its popularity only in the mid-90s of the twentieth century. And many new houses suggest a free area without extra walls and partitions, so that the new owner has the opportunity to independently plan his apartment.

Many people ask questions: what is an apartment studio, what does it look like? Photos of modern room design answer this question as follows. This is a modern comfortable living room, in which there are no rigid partitions. There is an entrance door and a door to the bathroom and shower. The use of interior doors in the interior of the apartments (photos confirm this) is completely excluded.

Today you can find such housing in different price categories. From one-room and two-room apartments of a small area, inexpensive studio apartments are being equipped, Such a solution can be seen in the photo of the interior of the Khrushchev apartment.

Large-area apartments are expensive and prestigious housing, where there is the possibility of originally zoning the room into many independent zones. A photo of the most beautiful apartment interiors is a clear confirmation of this.

Two-level organization of the space of a small apartment

Advantages of a studio apartment

Studio apartments have a number of significant advantages compared to other types of housing:

• from a small space that is not limited by partitions, you can make the most functional living area with the help of properly arranged furniture,
• this option is ideal for non-family people where you can hold parties and receive guests,
• the whole space can be designed in one modern direction or apply different styles for each individual zone,

• maximum convenience for moving around the apartment without extra corridors and doors,
• the ability to achieve perfect acoustics anywhere in the apartment by correctly positioning the audio equipment,
• An ideal place for creative people, where it is possible to combine a living area and a workshop in one room.

Successful organization of a kitchenette in a niche

However, do not forget that not every apartment of a typical layout can be converted into a studio. Before proceeding with the demolition of existing walls and partitions, some important issues should be considered:

• in panel houses, it is impossible to demolish internal load-bearing walls, the absence of which will negatively affect the strength of the building,
• if the building is old, the chief architect of the city will not give permission to redevelop the premises, without which repair work on the demolition of the walls cannot be carried out,

• demolition of the walls entails large financial costs associated with the dismantling, laying of new electrical wiring, heating systems, water supply and sewage,
• the apartment is not intended for a large family with children and for those people who need a private enclosed space,
• Particular attention in studio apartments is given to the issue of ventilation of the room, since the kitchen and living space are combined here.

An important fact for the final version of the interior of the room is who the studio apartment is being created for. If a single person or an unmarried girl lives here, then the design will be individual. But if the apartment is intended for a young married couple, then the approach to design options will be joint.

On the Internet you can find many photos of apartment renovation, the interior design of which has been completely changed.

Functional zoning of a studio apartment

Effective arrangement of the kitchen area

The kitchen from the common area can be distinguished with the help of a bar, suspended ceiling, decorative open shelving. It should be located in one of the free corners of the room. In the corner you can put a sink. For cooking, you can choose a stove panel. A classic oven should be replaced with an electric oven, which is built into the kitchen furniture. You can clearly see the features of such a layout in the photo of the interior design of the kitchen in the studio apartment.

Compact kitchen with a small dining table

It is necessary to take care of a high-quality powerful ventilation system, which will prevent the spread of odors throughout the apartment, the subsidence of the smallest drops of fat on furniture and textiles during cooking. You should consider the installation location of the necessary household appliances, so that it is compact and takes up a minimum of space.

Helpful advice! Appliances and furniture for the kitchen should choose light colors to be able to visually enlarge the kitchen area.

Corner kitchen with built-in appliances

If you have a balcony, access to which is located in the kitchen, then you can combine these zones. In this case, due attention should be paid to warming the balcony in order to reduce the heat transfer of the room in the winter. Such a decision can often be seen in the photo of the interior design of a 1-room apartment.

Helpful advice! If you combine the kitchen with a balcony, you can use the windowsill as a dining table.

The facade of the kitchen is painted in tone with the walls.

The role of a dining table in such kitchens can be played by a bar counter with high stools, a built-in folding table with folding chairs, a mobile table-table with small stools. It all depends on the preferences of the owners of the room. For older people, it is better to provide a complete comfortable dining area with comfortable seats.

An interesting design solution is to hide the kitchen in one cabinet, which when closed, resembles a conventional storage system and fits perfectly into the overall design of the room. But as soon as you open the door, an entire kitchen station unfolds for cooking. Design photos of a small apartment clearly demonstrate this.

An effective element for the kitchen area is a small island consisting of two parts. One part is designed to store things, the other is used for the meal of the owners of the room.

Original and creative kitchen interior

Reception area

For the living area, the central part of the room should be reserved. It is from this place that the layout of the room should begin.This zone is a kind of epicenter, relative to which other functional zones are located. The living room includes: sofa, coffee table, armchairs, chairs, poufs with internal niches, pillow chairs, TV, video and audio equipment.

Sofa and lightweight plastic chairs for guests

Helpful advice! To save space, give preference to plasma TV models that can be conveniently placed on the wall.

Differentiate living space with the help of compact racks installed across the room. Low furniture well marks the boundaries of the zones without overloading the space. It is convenient to store dishes and other items in such racks. Also, a similar element of furniture can divide the kitchen and living room.

The reception area is visually separated from the bedroom by a sofa.

Practical ideas for decorating the bedroom and work area

An important step in the interior design of a small studio apartment is to determine the location of the sleeping area. It can exist in the living room or separately (if space permits). A comfortable convertible sofa for guests can serve as a comfortable berth. All personal belongings (clothes, alarm clock, telephone) can be placed on chairs, poufs and a table. In this case, the living area can be placed along one of the walls.

The berth is separated by a light glass partition

If the sleeping area will be located separately, then to save space, you can provide a pull-out bed built into the niche. Such a decision is depicted in the photo of the design of a studio apartment of 20 square meters. m

The sleeping area can be limited by a partition screen, a wardrobe with white doors. In the interiors of apartments (photos confirm this) curtains are often used. If the apartment has a suspended ceiling, then the rails are screwed to it to move the curtains. In case of use of stretch ceilings it is necessary to organize a cornice.

A screen was used for zoning a berth

Also, as enclosing elements, monolithic, translucent, transparent racks can be used, which at the same time will serve as a place to store things. Such a rack can be combined for two zones. On the side of the living room, you can install a TV on the shelf, and use it in the sleeping area to place personal items. This idea was embodied in the photo of the interior of a one-room apartment of Khrushchev.

Beautiful studio interior with classic elements.

To protect the sleeping area near the window, you can use sliding glass doors. Photos of the interiors of apartments in this design version attract special attention. This allows you to protect the bedroom from smells, sounds, but does not prevent the penetration of natural light into the living area. The sleeping area should be located in the remote side from the entrance and the bathroom. To store all kinds of things and furniture elements in the room, you should put a sliding wardrobe in which you can clean a folding table, folding chairs or store it.

The cabinet has a working area

For a one-room apartment there is no need to allocate a separate working area. You can provide a mobile desktop built into the wardrobe, or a folding table for a laptop. Photos of the modern interior design of the apartment clearly demonstrate this.

Helpful advice! The surface of the table for work can be attached to one of the walls, with the subsequent opportunity to raise, propping the leg, and lower it.

The berth is located on the podium.

A temporary work area can be equipped with a bar if you use a laptop and WI-FI for work. This option will be ideal for those who work at home. After all, a kettle, coffee, refrigerator are nearby and there is always the opportunity to quickly have a snack, without interrupting work.

For people who monitor their health, the sports area will become relevant. This can be a freestanding exercise machine, dumbbells, a barbell in the doorway, a folded rug for aerobics or yoga, as shown in the photo of the interior design of a small studio apartment.

Functional organization of the space of a small studio

All functional zones can be divided using mirror, glass partitions, high aquariums, and lighting elements. The ceiling can be made suspended multilevel of drywall. This will allow zoning of the common space. On it you can mount various lamps of different colors and the degree of saturation of light. You can select a specific zone using a low podium.

One and the same table can act as a dining room and a worker

Photos of the interior design of a one-room studio apartment indicate that the room can be both functional, convenient and aesthetic. The main thing is to competently and carefully think out every little thing. Then everything will look harmonious and tasteful.

For apartments with high ceilings, arranging a second tier is a rational and creative solution. The sleeping area is displayed on the second level, leaving below enough space for the arrangement of the working area, living room and kitchen.

An example of vertical organization of space

The main features of the studio apartment

For the first time, the idea to combine several zones in one room arose more than 100 years ago. In the United States, this innovation in home design was a must in those days. The country received huge flows of foreigners arriving from different continents. It was impossible to provide them all with traditional housing. Studio apartments have become a real salvation.

In our country, this innovative idea did not take root for a long time. Our architects preferred to allocate as many autonomous zones as possible, even if the areas were miniature. Until now, people have to experience significant inconvenience in tiny kitchens in Khrushchev. The situation changed at the end of the last century. There were interesting design projects for studio apartments, such housing is being created in new buildings. Property owners have actively taken up alterations, turning uncomfortable old apartments into modern, spacious studios.

Such housing has certain features:

• in one room, all residential areas are equipped with the exception of bathrooms,
• the room has only 2 doors - to the bathroom and entrance,
• conditional zoning can be used, there are no autonomous zones.

Studio apartment design

There are several studio options. The standard model is a one-room apartment, in which only a bathroom is an autonomous zone. The rest of the space is one. Sometimes the studio occupies part of the apartment, combines the kitchen and living room, lounge and dining room, etc.

Numerous photos of interior designs of studio apartments allow homeowners to find the best option for themselves.

The obvious advantages of studios

The acquisition of such housing, the conversion of an old uncomfortable apartment into a modern studio provides several significant advantages:

• the absence of walls, interior doors significantly increases the area,
• the absence of angles allows you to rationally use every meter of the room,
• combining several zones provides comfort,
• the design uses the minimum number of furniture items,
• there is the opportunity to create a unique interior that fully meets personal taste,
• perfect acoustics provides excellent conditions for the music lover.

The combination of several zones will provide comfort

The walls dividing the rooms are not too thick. But if there are several of them, it turns out several meters of useless area. In addition, they significantly limit the ability to place furniture. In standard apartments, most corners are not used for practical purposes, which reduces the usable area.

The competent design of a studio apartment allows you to provide maximum comfort. The owner can freely move from one zone to another, without wasting time, effort to bypass walls, opening, closing doors. If 1-2 residents live in the apartment, there is no need to allocate autonomous plots. On the contrary, the lack of walls provides the opportunity to easily communicate, being in different zones.

Use the minimum amount of furniture in the interior

The minimum amount of furniture allows you to save on housing costs. The time spent on cleaning is reduced, which is important for a modern person experiencing constant time pressure. Such housing eliminates the need for a long time to look for the right thing, since all objects are in sight.

Professional specialists can develop an original cozy design of a studio apartment, regardless of the area of ​​the room. Many ready-made options can be found on the Internet.

Disadvantages of studio apartments

The benefits of the studios are obvious. But they also have disadvantages. It is necessary to know about them to those who intend to purchase such housing or make a radical transformation of an old apartment. Studio:

• It does not provide an opportunity to allocate to each their own autonomous zone,
• requires the creation of an effective ventilation system,
• may not be equipped in every apartment.

Stylish cozy design of the studio apartment will provide the required comfort to a single person, a childless couple. If housing is required for a family of 3-4 people, this option should not be considered. Each tenant has his own tastes, interests, unification in one room will certainly create discomfort for everyone, claims and quarrels are inevitable.

Studio apartment is suitable for 1-2 people

In such an apartment, the kitchen area is combined with a living room, bedroom. When cooking, various smells appear, fumes saturated with fats. It is necessary to exclude their distribution throughout the room. To cope with such a task can only high-quality, efficient ventilation system. It is important to ensure high-quality insulation of the bathroom. It should also have high-quality ventilation, eliminating the penetration of odors.

Creating a studio in an apartment is a major redevelopment, requiring the receipt of an appropriate permit. It may be refused if the demolition of the walls creates a threat, reduces the strength of the supporting structure of the building. Unauthorized re-equipment threatens with serious fines and sanctions.

It is important to install an efficient ventilation system

It should be noted that this housing restructuring will require significant costs. Certain difficulties can be caused by dismantling the walls, removing construction waste. It will be necessary to re-equip the heating system, electricity, for which it is necessary to attract specialists. If these obstacles are not significant for you, you can safely proceed to the design of a one-room studio apartment, create a stylish, comfortable housing.

Allocation of zones in the room

Despite the lack of autonomous territories, it is not worth completely integrating the studio into a single zone. It is much more comfortable to use the room, conditionally divided into zones. It is especially important to consider this factor if 2-3 people live in the apartment. Since there is no deaf zoning in such housing, it is necessary to choose the most comfortable methods of conditional division of the territory.

The studio traditionally takes 3-4 zones. It includes a kitchen, a bedroom and a living room. In the photo studio apartment designs 40 square meters. m. you can see additional areas: dining room, office. Often in such premises a workshop of the artist, stylist is equipped. Depending on the purpose of the zones, planning features, area, style in zoning, you can use:

• various shades and types of finishing materials,
• furniture designs
• sliding, mobile screens,
• incomplete partitions.

The studio traditionally takes 3-4 zones

If color zoning is planned in the interior design of a studio apartment, this design should be taken with utmost care. Errors in combinations of shades can lead to excessive diversity, which will cause a feeling of disorder, disharmony.

The most popular way of zoning is the specific placement of furniture that defines conditional boundaries. For this purpose, corner, modular sofas, shelves, cabinets, tables, etc. are used. In rooms with high ceilings, a second tier, occupying part of the room, is equipped to create a comfortable sleeping area. This technique allows you to increase the area for the living room, dining room.

The second tier allows you to increase the living area

In the design of a small studio apartment, it is advisable to use sliding, mobile screens. These structures, if necessary, will separate the zone and ensure its autonomy. If you need to combine space, they are removed. In studios you can install incomplete partitions. They do not violate the integrity of space, create conditional boundaries of zones.

Acquisition of a studio apartment, redevelopment procedure

There are two options for acquiring such housing. All developers offer studios in new residential complexes. These apartments have modern layouts, can be sold with draft or finish. There are such options in the secondary market. This is a standard housing converted into a studio. The main point in such a purchase is to verify the legality of perestroika. It must be reflected in the technical passport of the property.

The third option is to buy a regular apartment in order to create a studio. In this case, you will have to go through the steps that are provided for apartment owners who want to redevelop. It:

• assessment of the possibility of creating a studio at BTI, an architectural bureau,
• ordering a project with plans for the existing layout and future studio,
• Submission of documents to BTI for permission
• acceptance of an updated housing option, re-issuance of a technical passport.

For redevelopment, you must obtain permission in the BTI

Skilled craftsmen will qualitatively perform redevelopment, repair, design of a studio apartment, free from a lot of hassle, and perform labor-intensive work.

Feasibility of buying a studio apartment

The specific layout of the studio apartment determines the circle of consumers for whom such housing is the best option. These options are ideal for:

• single people
• elderly residents with disabilities,
• a young couple
• families with a small child.

Lonely people do not need autonomous zones, the presence of walls and doors is an obstacle. The division of housing into rooms requires a lot of time for cleaning, transitions. Elderly people do not need deaf zoning. For people with disabilities, unnecessary transitions create serious problems.

Studio apartment is ideal for a young couple

The most popular apartments are young couples. The comfortable design of a small studio apartment turns it into a cozy romantic nest. A single space allows lovers to always see each other, enjoy constant communication.

The lack of full-fledged partitions suits young mothers. They have the opportunity to do all the housework and look after the baby at the same time.
