15 m2 layouts

Bedrooms of 15 sq. m can look different: a regular square, a rectangle or a fancy shape, with one or two windows, with a balcony. The plan should be drawn depending on the initial data of the room.

Square bedroom of 15 square meters. Symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement of furniture is possible. In the first case, the bed is placed in the center with the headboard to the wall, and identical pieces of furniture are placed on the sides. Another option for a mirror layout is to put wardrobes on both sides of the window, but it is only suitable for light rooms of 15 sq. In the case of an asymmetrical arrangement, the bed is moved to one side, freeing up space for a wardrobe or desk.

Rectangular bedroom with an area of 15 m2. The layout of the 3 by 5 room should be built starting from the window. Most often it is located on the short side opposite the door, then the bed is installed across the long one in the center. This way there will be space for a work area by the window and for a wardrobe by the door.

For elongated rooms with a window opening along the long wall, there are 3 ways to arrange the bed:

with the headboard to the short side, dividing the 15 sq. m. bedroom into 2 functional squares;
opposite the window, opening up a beautiful view;
with the headboard to the window, so as not to wake up from the sunlight.

What color scheme is best for decoration?

The design of a 15 sq m bedroom can be done in any palette, because there is no task to visually enlarge the room. However, if you are going to use a lot of furniture, give preference to light colors so that the bedroom does not look cluttered.

The color scheme is chosen based on 2 parameters: the style of the interior and personal preferences.

Scandinavian style requires white, gray, beige.
For a loft, gray, brown, black are preferable.
The modern trend is distinguished by muted deep shades of blue, pink, green, yellow.
When creating an interior in the Art Nouveau style, take gray or sand as a basis, adding bright accents to it.

Also, consider the location of the windows in the apartment: if the northern bedroom is decorated in cold tones, it will be uncomfortable to be in the room. Therefore, remember the rule: a warm palette for the north, a cold one for the south.

The last thing you should pay attention to is the psychology of color. It is no secret that pastel blue and green shades help you relax. And red and orange ones excite. Accordingly, when creating a space for relaxation, use more calming colors, using bright ones to a minimum.

What to consider when renovating?

There are practically no restrictions on the use of finishing materials in the design of a 15 sq. m. bedroom – there is no high humidity or temperature here. Choose high-quality coverings that do not emit harmful substances and will last for many years.

Ceiling. The design of the surfaces should emphasize the style of the interior. Whitewash or paint, order a suspended ceiling or a simple plasterboard structure. Decorate the ceiling with beams, rosettes, moldings. The most universal color is white, the other shades should be 1-2 tones lighter than the walls.

Walls. Classic solutions are wallpaper, paint, decorative plaster. Laminate looks unusual behind the headboard. Use wall decoration to correct the geometry of the room: dark narrow walls in an elongated room will visually balance it. Panoramic photo wallpaper or simple wallpaper with a pattern is glued to the long side.

Floor. The worst choice for a bedroom in the house is cold ceramic tiles. The flooring should be warm – parquet, laminate, linoleum. Place 1 large rug or 2 small ones at the foot of the bed. Laying the floor across the long walls will also expand a narrow 15 sq. m. bedroom.

Choosing furniture and arranging it correctly

To furnish a 15 sq. m. bedroom, start with the bed. Its size is determined based on the number of people sleeping and the additional purpose of the room. If you will use the bedroom only for its intended purpose, feel free to buy a king-size bed, 180-200 cm wide. A 160 cm mattress will be enough for two adults, and after its installation, there will be enough space for a straight or corner wardrobe. You can add a men’s computer desk or women’s dressing table to your wardrobe by reducing the width of your bed to 140 cm.

If you need a spacious storage system, one wardrobe is not enough. Buy a bed model with drawers under the bed or additional niches in the headboard. A freestanding chest of drawers also does not take up much space and can combine a storage area and a makeup area.

If desired, you can organize not just a workspace by the window, but a place for reading. In addition to a desk, you can install a bookcase, a comfortable chair and a floor lamp. If the bedroom of 15 sq. m. is combined with the balcony, the study can be placed there.

How to arrange a bedroom?

Even though we spend most of our time in a 15 sq. m. bedroom in complete darkness, lighting in this room plays an important role. A large main chandelier (it serves as additional decor) or built-in spotlights (simple and functional) are suitable as a ceiling light source.

Spotlights are distributed among zones:

sconces or lamps on bedside tables;
table lamp or floor lamp on the desk;
mirror lighting on the dressing table;
directional spotlights in the dressing room.

Dimmed lighting in a niche with a TV or under a floating bed plays a decorative role and is perfect for falling asleep.

In addition to good artificial lighting, make sure to block out natural light — blackout curtains will keep the sun out of the room in the morning. In a minimalist interior, curtains are replaced with roller blinds or blinds.

Without decorative elements, the bedroom will remain boring – hang frames with paintings or photographs, place fresh flowers and figurines. You can decorate a 15 sq. m room with ordinary textiles – cute pillows, textured blankets, rugs.
