Features of furniture in a small room, possible models, design tips

The arrangement of furniture in a small room is different from how to do it in a spacious room. In large rooms there is no need to puzzle over how to find extra meters, no need to squeeze and look for a specific configuration of furniture. In small rooms, a visual increase in space is used and its optimization is an entire science, consisting of many techniques. And if for large rooms visual perception of dimensions is not such an important concept, then for compact rooms all the details play a role. Furniture for a small room should be selected wisely, because all errors are immediately visible.

Features

In improper surroundings, a small room is more like a box full of cabinets. It is difficult to achieve any order, and even a small sofa in size against the general background may seem like an extra element. The basic principles for the selection of furniture for compact rooms are that it should have a minimum of unnecessary parts. Everything should be as functional as possible, but this should not adversely affect the appearance of the room. Features of products for small rooms:

• If we consider the furniture that is used most often, namely chiffoniers, then we need to focus on disguise. Disguises the flaws of the room high under the ceiling wardrobe. Be sure the doors of the chiffoniers must be closed - this will allow you to place clothes in any order. Transparent doors oblige to lay clothes beautifully, which reduces the useful interior space of furniture;
• If it is not possible to install such furniture, you can restrict yourself to standard cabinets. However, it is advisable to paint them the same color as the wall. This visual technique helps smooth out the feeling of heaviness;
• It is not necessary that the room was exclusively compact furniture - there are other nuances. At least one element of furniture must have a reflective effect. Furniture should be placed opposite the window, and a mirror should be hung above it;
• As for functional furniture for small apartments, there is a division into frequently used furniture for small rooms, and furniture used less actively. The table can be folded and the chairs stacked. Transformer furniture should be chosen.

Varieties

You can install a bed in the bedroom, which can be tidied up after use - this will save a few more meters of free space. There are several advantages. The berth will be compact, which is very important for limited space. The cabinet will simultaneously act as a storage place for things. All bedding will be stored with the bed in the closet, which eliminates the need for a chest of drawers.

In the case of the guest room, the situation is somewhat different. The following types of furniture are popular here:

1. Built-in closets - they are popular because they occupy a place in empty niches. Owners of compact rooms can not afford not to use the free space. It remains only to order furniture in the right sizes;
2. Individual elements consist of modular cabinets and walls. They are convenient to use, since if necessary you can buy only the necessary parts. If there is no money for the entire cabinet, then you can buy the missing items later;
3. Corner cabinets and walls also help save space, but by no means always, as certain models simply cannot fit in a compact room. Since corners most often stand idle, ideas for decorating corner furniture of small shapes may be appropriate;
4. For a small room, you can choose a straight sofa of rectangular, square or round shape - it all depends on the shape of the room. It is important to take into account the height of the model, as sofas with high backs are installed against the wall, and the low-back version is placed near the window;
5. There is a wide variety of corner sofas, the shape of which directly depends on the room. For standard rooms, the classic G-shape is suitable, for rooms with a bay window sofas in the form of a semicircle are suitable;
6. If you need to equip the room in the style of minimalism, then you should stop on the island sofa - it is installed in the center of the room.

Upholstered furniture can be modular. Parts are moved or completely removed if necessary. The shape of the furniture or its dimensions can also be changed.

Additional features and functions

The arrangement of a compact room obliges you to use mainly functional furniture or objects that would not work well in spacious rooms. Sofas should be narrow, but this will not affect their practicality. In one room you can use several different sofas at once, and at the same time there is enough room in the room for a table. The necessary furniture in a small room should be laid out only at a certain time. In all other hours, it must be in assembled condition.

For the kitchen, there are several bold decisions that are not applicable in ordinary cases. For young people, a compromise is the installation of a bar. It can be made in the form of a continuation of the kitchen set, although the rack can be put separately. A comfortable meal will not be disturbed, and the free space can be used wisely. Since bar counters are made mainly to order, they will be customized to the specified room parameters.

A popular solution for small children's rooms is the use of bunk beds. They are quite functional, but at the same time they look stylish. These beds may have a box for storing linen. Also, if necessary, they can be divided into two separate beds.

Placement Methods

From a competent arrangement of furniture directly depends on whether it will be possible to realize a design idea taking into account limited space. Professionals have several useful recommendations in this regard:

1. It should be on paper or using a computer program to depict the layout of the room with furniture. Having estimated the scale, you can start moving objects until you get an adequate arrangement of furniture for a small apartment;
2. The arrangement of furniture in a small room, in particular in the guest room, implies the creation of a focal point. This is the object that holds the main attention of visitors. The focal point may be a wall with a TV, sofa or bedside table. Opposite the point, upholstered furniture should be installed;
3. A bedside table for storing items is installed next to upholstered furniture. You can also use a table;
4. Crowding in a compact room is not allowed. The recommendations are as follows: we place less furniture in a limited area. Between furniture it is important to move comfortably.

When arranging objects, the shape of the room should be taken into account - most often small rooms are an elongated rectangle. And it will be difficult to fit traditional furniture into the space.

Criterias of choice

Furniture is selected in a small room not only for two reasons - small and comfortable. It’s not enough just to look at a photo of a wardrobe or sofa, since there are much more subtleties than it seems immediately. Even before ordering any interior item, it is important to calculate in advance how many centimeters of space in the room you can count on. The obtained calculations allow not only to correctly divide the space into zones, but also to select objects according to strict parameters. No need to purchase furniture to just fill in the empty space. It is necessary to select only the necessary and demanded model, as well as highlight secondary objects. There should be enough free space in any interior.

Almost all items for a small room are purchased to order, as their parameters are non-standard. Even if the necessary item is not available for sale, there is no need to deviate from the planned plan, especially if it was drawn up for a long time, and it was not possible to enter all the necessary items the first time. In this case, you cannot purchase traditional dimensional items. A large object will not fit into the design of a small room, even if you manage to place it there. Useful space will be amusing in vain.

Furniture in a small room can be any, if only it was comfortable. But based on the realities, the most convenient is the transformer furniture. There is simply no alternative, since transformer objects are able to make established work areas floating. That is, when parsing the table, a guest room is obtained, as soon as the table is reassembled, then the guest room will turn into a dining room. And only transformers are able to maximize the use of space. With bulky furniture, it is simply impossible to do this. Walls or cabinets do not need to be abandoned, since even in a small room you can find a place.

As a result, we can highlight the following points:

1. Furniture should not have high legs, and it is better if these legs do not exist at all;
2. The storage area should be a wardrobe. Another cabinet formation is not able to save space so well. It is also worth choosing a cabinet with mirrored doors installed - this contributes to a visual increase in space;
3. If you can take a transformer, then you need to take it. Unused items should be discarded.

Dressing tables and cabinets should be installed indoors only if there is confidence in their active use. These are not items worth a limited square meter. Wall lights should act as lighting, since floor lamps can also be considered an unnecessary piece of furniture in a small room. The same applies to the TV - it is better to hang it on the wall.
