We accept guests, entertain children, store seasonal things and work - a small living room you need to use a maximum.
1 for rest
In a small room, in which you plan to fit several functional zones, it is important to think in detail the place to relax. Pay attention to several important points.Tips for placing a recreation area
- Instead of one large sofa in the whole wall, it is worth putting a couple of chairs or a small double sofa on the legs. Such an arrangement will contain more people, allowing everyone to have their own personal space. In addition, visually it looks much easier.
- The recreation area does not necessarily have to be the largest area. Under it can be left, for example, by the window by the window, making a podium or expanding the windowsill, and the rest of the area to be stored, a place for work or a hobby.
- This zone, like each other, will require their lighting. Put next to soft flooring flooring or hang scraps.
2 for storage
In a small area, the apartment is reasonable to take part of the living room under storage. It can be a beautiful dresser in which part of the dishes will be stored, or a large bookcase. If you choose a concise high wardrobe in the color of the walls, then in the living room will be able to store seasonal clothes and shoes, without attracting too much attention to it.
You can try to combine the rest and storage area: many sofas and puffs have inside the drawers where you can put textiles. It also makes sense to try to enter the podium inside which there will be retractable boxes, and from above - pillows.
3 for work
Highlight a separate room under the personal account is difficult, but it is important to have a workplace, especially if you often work at home. A separate space for work helps to focus and allows not to lose documents and books. At the same time, even in a small living room, such a place should be separated at least visually. For this you can use an open book rack, screen, curtains or home plants.
4 for guests
If guests often stay with you at night, it makes sense to consider the zone for sleep. It can be a small folding sofa or a bed on the living room of a warmed loggia. Also, your guests will be more comfortable if you think a small storage system for their personal items and try to a little isolate their place to sleep.
If guests come to spend time with you, but do not stay in the living room for the night, think over the food zone. For example, you can put a coffee table between the seats or store a small folding table in the closet, each will take a snacks with them and return to the chair.
5 for children
In the apartment in which children live, it is important to add a small gaming zone to the living room so that they are not boring. Such a solution will save the wallpaper from painting and distract from attempts to get a vase from the upper shelf.Options for building children's space in the living room
- Chest with toys and carpet near. Such a simple combination can be in a long time, and cleaning after the game will take a couple of minutes.
- Pegboard with toys. Perforated boards also simplify the storage of children's trifles and look enough tempting to attract the baby.
- Book corner. For older children, you can put your chair and bookcase, it works well in the living room, but gives the child a feeling of his personal space.
