Separation of the bedroom with decorative elements
To separate the bedroom from the living room, use:
1. Pieces of furniture.
Furniture is used as a visual separation of the bed from the guest area. You can also highlight the border between these territories if you choose furniture of various styles. An important role in the arrangement of the room is given to mirrors.They allow, for example, to effectively separate the area for receiving guests, as mirrors always attract the eye. Mirrors can also be successfully used in the sleeping area.

2. Lighting.
It is extremely important to pay attention to the correct choice of lighting for all areas in the apartment. For the bedroom, it is advisable to arrange diffused lighting, which is formed by a ceiling or backlight. For the guest area, it is better to make the light bright. In order to add light to the bedroom, a ceiling type of lighting is used, however, for this purpose, it will be necessary to transform the ceiling to accommodate light bulbs in it.

With the help of color finishing, you can gracefully highlight the sleeping place. It is necessary to select soft colors that will provide an atmosphere of peace and tranquility in the bedroom. The use of rich shades is allowed only as a decorative solution; bright colors can also be used in various accessories. When choosing a tone for a bedroom, focus on a color that has a beneficial effect on you, helps to calm down. Too dark colors can provoke a depressive mood.

How to make a living room out of a bedroom using furniture
“In the event that you decide not to zone the room, then for the living room bedroom in a one-room apartment you need to use such furniture that will make it possible to combine the purpose of both one and the second room”
In the event that you decide not to zone the room, then for the living room bedroom in a one-room apartment you need to use such furniture that will make it possible to combine the purpose of both one and the second room. What kind of furniture should you choose?
1. Wardrobe bed.
If the size of the room does not allow you to remake the walls, we recommend buying a wardrobe bed, which will allow you to cope with several tasks at the same time. During the day, you can hide a place to rest. This will keep the space free.
A folding bed built into the closet will save usable space
In addition, you have not only a bed, but also a closet, in which things are stored that need to be removed from prying eyes. In such cabinets there may be a working area, which will save the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment. Whether you need a desktop near a place to relax, see for yourself.

2. Traditional sofa.
If you want to have a double bed, then this option will not work. However, in this case, you will significantly save free space. A folded sofa will not occupy a large area of \u200b\u200bthe room and will perfectly complement the decor. We advise you to buy a corner version of a folding structure. This is ideal for rooms with a small area.

3. Portable furniture.
This design has wheels, and if necessary, you can move the furniture to the right place. For a small apartment, a portable type of furniture is often the only solution, since it is not possible to put fixed furniture. If required, portable furniture can be rearranged in 30 minutes.

On ordinary days, you can use the room as a bedroom. If guests should come, then the room immediately becomes a living room. So, if you are the owner of a one-room apartment, then the sleeping place and the reception area can be rationally arranged on the available area.

The minimalist style involves the use of fairly simple furniture, but it must be functional.Here we recommend placing closed types of racks and shelves. In addition, make shelves open for access, but place few things on them. Furniture should match in color and shape.

To keep the room well lit, blinds are used instead of curtains. Decorative trim also needs simplicity. Glass, wooden, that is, natural accessories will look great in this style. All finishing elements, as well as furniture, should be oriented to increase the room. For example, a bright picture on the wall or an unusual vase will provide a bright concentration, which will perfectly expand the area. Mirrors can be used as a visual enlargement of the room, but you need to be careful with these items so as not to overdo it.

4. Light distribution.
To ensure the most effective dispersion of light in a room, it is necessary to carefully consider the lighting of all places. You can use diffused lighting; for this purpose, ceiling lamps are installed that are not visible to the eye of the suspension. No need to choose bizarre lighting fixtures, choose the most ordinary fixtures that are not particularly eye-catching. In the bedroom area, you can also put a sconce or a night light, that is, with the help of lighting, highlight the advantages of the interior, and also hide all imperfections.

Highlighting zones with color
“If the budget is limited, then you can visually divide the living room in a one-room apartment into zones using color”
Using visual effects - the ceilings are painted a tone lighter than the walls - you can successfully increase the volume of any room.

As a visual increase in the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, a light tone is used as the main one. Basically, in the style of minimalism, 2-3 tones are used, therefore, for the second color, you can take the tone of the tree, and for the third, an accent color that will dilute the general background is perfect. For example, we take white, dark wood tone and purple. This combination will make the room comfortable.

What to consider when decorating a bedroom
First of all, when arranging the living room bedroom in a one-room apartment, you should make sure that the room is functional and free. Sometimes this is difficult to achieve without a thorough alteration of the entire room. If you decide to thoroughly rebuild the apartment, then it is advisable to start work from the wall, which is located between the kitchen and the room. This will make it possible to provide for further divisions.
By removing the wall between the kitchen and the room, you can increase the space
• The wall between the room and the kitchen can be left untouched, but then it should be moved. Please note that the wall that you are demolishing or moving should not be load-bearing. Alteration of the wall will significantly expand the room, and subsequently it can already be divided into functional zones.

• To correctly select the placement of the sleeping area, you will need to determine which corner of the room is the darkest. The brightest part of the room is advisable to arrange for the living room. Often niches are installed in one-room apartments, they create a comfortable and unusual sleeping place.

• The guest area is separated from the bed by a small partition. To make it, you do not need to build a main wall, which will reduce the area. For separation, you can use a fabric partition or a non-bulky cabinet. It is advisable to put a low cabinet so that there is still room up to the ceiling to allow air to circulate. Too tight partitions do not need to be placed, otherwise the bedroom will be stuffy and dark.

• In the event that the room is too small, and it is not possible to make redevelopment, we recommend using a pretty curtain as a separator between the bedroom and the guest area, which will become an element of the interior during the daytime, and at night it will help to separate the sleeping place with a beautiful curtain.

Space saving
If the room is small, then the next question arises: how can you save space? This is a very important topic. In the guest area, which combines the bedroom, as well as in the bedroom itself, you can put furniture in this way:
1. Place the TV not on the bedside table, but on the wall. At the same time, choose a place so that the screen is perfectly visible both from the living room and from the bedroom. An excellent way out is a swivel type bracket.

2. Don't use bulky furniture. Choose light furniture. Replace a heavy sofa with a small and comfortable sofa. Try to use not only horizontal, but also vertical space with benefit. Save things on racks, mezzanines. When purchasing a bed for a bedroom, opt for a model with drawers, it is convenient to fold linen in them. Sometimes beds are made such that they have a small rack or shelf at the head. Get just such a functional bed.

3. If you are going to install a high podium, then you should worry about a special design that allows the bed to move out of it and then roll back under the podium. You can install a table on it, put an armchair near it, we advise you to hang shelves above the table for books and documents. Get an office.
