A one-room apartment in a panel house, with an area of 36 sq. m., can be furnished as a standard one-room apartment or turned into a studio. An ordinary one-room living space is an acceptable option for a family of two or more people. Since the premises contain one full room, it provides the opportunity to retire.

A studio apartment will be especially comfortable for one person or a married couple. This type of housing provides a more modern design. When arranging a studio, it is very important to decide on the location of furniture, necessary equipment and other elements.

It is possible to transform a one-room apartment into a two-room apartment without major repairs. Plasterboard partitions or tall cabinets are used for division. Most often, this solution is used to create a separate room for a child. If such a redevelopment is carried out in an apartment with one window, it is better to leave it in the children’s area.

Design features

The main design nuances on which the convenience of the interior depends:

  • The ergonomics of furniture arrangement has a huge impact on comfort, so it is especially important that large items do not interfere with free movement in space and have a logical arrangement. Corner and vertical placement of elements are preferable.
  • As furniture in a room of 36 sq. m., it is best to install transforming models, for example, in the form of a wardrobe bed, a sofa bed, a folding table or a folding tabletop, which will fit well both in the dining room and in the study.
  • Mirrors will help to visually expand the space. Such decor gives the environment lightness and spaciousness, and also forms a very stylish and beautiful design.
  • To save space, traditional swing doors can be replaced with sliding structures. This solution is appropriate for both interior doors and cabinet doors.
  • It is not advisable to use too massive lighting fixtures that stand out from the overall interior. Lighting in the form of laconic floor lamps and geometric lamps with minimal decor will look more harmonious in the design.
  • Heavy textiles and thick curtains should be avoided. It is preferable to replace them with light tulle curtains, Roman blinds or blinds.
  • The design of a small-sized apartment in a Khrushchev-era building will be advantageously complemented by photo wallpaper with a panoramic image, which will visually expand the boundaries of the room and create a special atmosphere in it.

Options zoning

The interior of a small apartment should look light and airy. Therefore, for zoning the space, it is more reasonable to install thin transparent or matte partitions made of impact-resistant glass.

Be sure to look at how best to combine laminate and tiles.

No less effective division of the room can be achieved with the help of the play of light, contrasting colors, different levels of the ceiling or floor. When using screens as a separating element, it is advisable to give preference to translucent or wicker models that do not weigh down the decor.

A wardrobe or shelving unit is perfect for dividing an apartment into separate functional areas. In this way, it is possible not only to rationally zone the premises, but also to use furniture elements for their intended purpose.

Interior of functional zones

To ensure maximum comfort, you should create a thoughtful and stylish design for each corner of the apartment.

Kitchen

In a small kitchen, you should not install bulky dark-colored sets. To save useful space, it is better to refuse a dining table of a rough rectangular or square shape. It can be replaced with a compact oval model with rounded chairs, a bar counter, or a window sill can be converted into it.

A light finish on the ceiling and walls will help visually enlarge the room. Wood tones are suitable for the flooring. Such a monotonous design will be perfectly complemented by bright accents, for example, in the form of a brightly colored kitchen apron. Light translucent curtains will advantageously decorate the window.

Living room and recreation area

In a living room of medium dimensions, it is appropriate to use universal white, beige or gray shades in combination with other tones. Laminate board or parquet is used as a floor covering, giving the interior a homey feel. The walls are covered with wallpaper or other plain coverings with a faint pattern.

To furnish the hall, only the most necessary furniture is selected, in the form of a sofa, a coffee table and various storage systems. A rational solution is represented by corner structures that effectively use inactive space and save room for movement in the room.

Children’s

For a more ergonomic design, the children’s room is equipped with a loft bed with a desk on the lower tier. A bunk bed design is suitable for a family with two children. Beds equipped with drawers and a wardrobe built into a niche will help save useful square meters.

In a one-room apartment, it is better to separate the child’s corner with lightweight partitions or decorative curtains to create high-quality ventilation of the space. This area should be equipped with proper lighting, in the form of wall sconces and table lamps for the work area, backlighting or a dim night light for the sleeping area.

Bedroom

Built-in furniture will be especially appropriate in the design of a small bedroom. Open racks or hangers under the ceiling will be a rather interesting idea for storing things. If the bed has a pull-out or lifting mechanism, the storage system is equipped inside it. Shelves and drawers are sometimes placed at the headboard.

A podium or niche in which you can fully or partially install a bed will be an excellent solution for a separate sleeping area in a one-room apartment or studio. To separate the space, the recess is decorated with curtains or sliding partitions.

Workplace

A practical and ergonomic solution for a workplace is its location as an extension of the window sill or arrangement on the balcony. This option not only helps save space and has a stylish look, but also provides comfortable working conditions. In the evening, this area should have high-quality lighting, spotlights and a table lamp will help with this.

Bathroom and toilet

In a combined bathroom, to free up additional space, a bathtub can easily be replaced with a shower stall. This way you can place a washing machine or other necessary items in the room. For maximum space saving, it is better to use tall narrow cabinets, shelves, use light colors, glass and mirror surfaces in the decoration.
