Small room design +75 photo interior examples

Indoor room - the real face of the house. There the hosts welcome guests, spend evenings and family celebrations. The modern design of a small room is created on the basis of those functions that are assigned to this room. And there can be a lot of them: in small apartments, the hall is a dining room, a living room, an office and everything that the owner wishes to do.

Determine the style or thematic focus

The design of a small room does not tolerate excesses. Empire, Baroque, Art Nouveau, Palace Classicism or Chebbi chic will turn a small area into a space cluttered with details.
The solution to the problem of a small area will be the following interior areas:

  • Classic style;
  • Provence;
  • Mediterranean style;
  • Scandinavian style;
  • Loft;
  • Ethnic;
  • Minimalism.


    

When the design direction is chosen, you can proceed to its actual implementation.

In any acceptable style for a small hall in the apartment best suited bright colors. They will visually expand the space.

But the choice of light wallpaper is not all that is needed for the successful implementation of the project. It is also important to take into account the palette of all other colors and shades.

What color palette is better to use

The harmony of a simple living room is built on the principle of the game of contrasts. Contrast is not limited to a combination of light and dark.

Do not forget about warm and cold shades. For example, a one-room hall in Khrushchev, which has few square meters, is decorated in blue in accordance with the Mediterranean style. To dilute the cold shades here you can use several items of the interior of the color of wet sand. Then a warm tone will soften the effect of a cold one, and the overall look of the room will look most harmonious.


    

A house with high ceilings, but a small living room area, can be slightly darkened with appropriate wallpaper. Then the sofa, wardrobe and other furniture should have a light shade. What else can be done on 18-20 sq.m? Square hall can be decorated in a more ornate and bright style than the rectangular. Ethnics with its explosion of colors and Provence - ideal for the square. But the classic style in sober colors is better to leave a rectangular room.

Finishing tips

A great way to increase the area is connecting the hall with a balcony. The window sill, in this case, turn into a bar counter. And the balcony itself is warmed and decorated in a single ensemble with the common room.

One wall of brick in the style of loft "will not eat" a lot of space, if you correctly consider the perspective. In an elongated room, this wall is placed opposite the window, so that it is maximally lit in a natural way.

In small halls do not use massive stucco. Materials for finishing choose simple. Paint, decorative plaster and plain wallpaper will help create a "airy" look for any area.


    

Mirrors built into wardrobes and walls will help to expand the boundaries of the room as much as possible. During the repair, it is necessary to avoid installing wooden partitions and columns, they hide space, making the room smaller.

Floor

Laminate, parquet and linoleum without a large print - this is what makes the design of a small room more uniform.

Mosaic and tile, like colorful carpets, visually reduce the already modest room.

Tones of linoleum or laminate, you must choose natural. This decor can be bright, and its framing should modestly set off decorations and furniture.

Although in the corner apartments, where there is more than one window, it is allowed to use a colored or dark floor. With the onset of the evening, this room should also be lit as brightly as possible so that such a floor would appear in the interior from the best side.


    

Ceiling

At low ceilings, the rule that all complex structures are prohibited. But a stretch ceiling with beautiful spot lighting can be applied here.
High ceilings, medium-height ceilings are decorated with projections, "starry sky", various graphic effects. But the basic tone of the ceiling should be light.

If you make a rectangular recess in the middle, and then start the LED strip around the edges, any design of a small hall will play with soft and fresh tints.


    

Small room - miniature lamps. This decoration axiom works flawlessly. Massive chandelier in a small living room does not look at all, cutting the space, depriving it of integrity.

Walls

The classic version of the walls in a compact room refers to a single color scheme. The presence of a small fireplace is allowed. Around the fireplace, everything should be as light as possible.

Decorative screens, glass partitions and massive ledges are considered undesirable.
Walls in nude colors will make it possible to use much more interior novelties than walls covered with wallpaper with a dark and heavy pattern.


    

Wood and leather small rooms do not decorate. Too hard to look these materials in the decoration of the walls.

Choosing furniture

The furniture in the panel house, most often used standard. Rustic style in a one-room apartment is nonsense. But for a house with small rooms, wooden furniture fits perfectly.

Choosing furniture for an apartment, you can pay attention to the following tips:

FitsDoes not fit
Glass coffee tableA table for magazines with massive legs and an abundance of decor
Laconic sofa of natural shadesHuge leather sofa with large elements
Built-in bookshelvesFull-wall bookcase
Sliding wardrobe with mirrored doorsCabinet of one type of material

Thus, furnishing a small room, you must abandon bulky things. Such furniture can be replaced with small counterparts of a pleasant color. Use of furniture which is called "transformer" is welcomed. Height-changing tables, chair-beds and similar things save a lot of space.


    

Lighting

Spot lighting is the most suitable option for such a hall. Wall sconces should also be compact and low-key, so as not to distract attention from the overall picture.

Highlighting ceilings, shelves and TV in a small room is welcome. When choosing lamps, you can give preference to glass spheres, shades in the form of tulips and roses, lamps with a mirror base.


    

Chandeliers with lots of hanging details for a small hall are not suitable. Even small lamps welcome conciseness and simplicity.

Choosing curtains and other textiles

When the apartment is located on the upper floors, there is no need to use blind curtains in it. It is enough to hang translucent tulle and curtains of thin translucent material on the windows.

In the case where it is required to close the windows as much as possible in the evenings, you can pay attention to the plain versions of curtains of reserved and nude shades without prints and patterns. Perfectly fit into the interior of a compact room blinds. When applying them, it is allowed to choose a material of bright colors with an interesting pattern.


    

Textiles on chairs, cushions, couch should match the chosen style. Velvet and velor visually weights the space, while silk, satin, satin and cotton make it more spacious.

Littered recommendations about light colors in the interior of a small hall are also relevant here. Although there are exceptions to the rule. When you make a room in the style of ethnics, you can use imitation fur, bright fabrics, and feathers in the interior.


    

Custom room shape

The unformatted room is a room with a sloping ceiling or asymmetrical walls. The design of this option is complicated and requires the involvement of a professional. Another non-standard rooms include too narrow areas.

But a couple of simple tips for this case are still available:

  • In a narrow room, the ends are made bright to harmonize the proportions of the area;
  • A low and sloping ceiling is made with natural materials for inclusion in the overall composition;
  • Rounded or extra corners are closed by screens and furniture, to give the space clear boundaries;
  • All bright accents of the decor are placed in opposite areas of the problem.


    

These simple rules will help you to avoid gross interior errors when decorating a non-standard room. By the way, false windows and curtains in an unformatted interior are also an effective method for decoration.

Sometimes in an unformatted room you have to take drastic measures. After all, with the help of finishing the walls and completing them, the room can be made proportional. Only the space in it will be even smaller, as well as new interior tasks that will have to be solved.
