How to equip a bedroom-study?

In conditions of limited space, a bedroom can also become a study. From the material in this article, you will learn how to equip it, making the room as comfortable and functional as possible.

A bedroom-study is an outlet for those who work from home. The combination of two zones (sleeping and working) is considered a universal option for the interior of the dwelling.

This solution has its merits:

• considered modern, stylish and original;
• suitable for the arrangement of many apartments in our country;
• allows you to effectively organize the space for rest and work.

Along with the advantages, this combination has a number of disadvantages. For example, a furnished study-bedroom does not imply proper rest in the evening. When the technique is working and the sound of the keyboard is working, it is difficult to relax and fall asleep. The combination of the two zones assumes a non-standard design approach. It is difficult in conditions of limited space and complex planning.

The zoning of a bedroom and a study in the same room can be different. It is possible to unobtrusively divide the space into separate functional zones by means of lighting, wall, floor coverings, and also furniture. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain the overall integrity of the space. When zoning a room in a city apartment or private house, 2/3 is allocated for a sleeping place and 1/3 for a working area. In this case, the division obeys the peculiarities of the room perspective.

Arched openings and podiums available in the room can become methods of division. In addition to them, for zoning, you can use plasterboard or plywood partitions, as well as cabinet furniture, sliding doors.

Sometimes the space is divided by means of movable screens, textile curtains. The choice of a particular technique is subject to the size of the room. For example, in "Khrushchev" there is too little space, which is why the space is not divided by partitions (including the use of furniture). In a small room, the division of space should be visual. In this case, it is possible to divide the recreation and work areas with wall or ceiling cladding of different texture and color.

The choice of furniture for combining two zones has to be approached thoroughly. In most cases, it is transformable: otherwise it is simply impossible to install everything necessary for comfortable work and good sleep. It is also important to build on the characteristics of the room. The key elements of the arrangement can be a desk, a shelf for documents, a wardrobe, a bed, a sofa, a bedside table (cabinet), and a rack. The working area should accommodate a table, a computer chair (chair), bookshelves, and a rack. If the room is large, a compact sofa can be installed here.

The division into functional zones implies a strict approach to the arrangement of furniture. The sleeping area should not contain shelves or shelves with documents, as well as a desk. In this case, it is difficult to create the necessary atmosphere. In a traditional rectangular room, the work area is located by the window.Here they put a desk and the necessary accessories. The bed is located at the back of the room. With this kind of furniture, natural light illuminates the work area during the day, which is necessary for work.

However, the arrangement of furniture in the work area must be correct. An overabundance of furnishings can reduce the level of natural light in the entire room, which can make it uncomfortable. In a narrow room, furniture is installed linearly. At the same time, to move around the room, free space is left along one of the walls. At the same time, the workspace should be better lit than the sleeping area. With this layout, the room can be divided by means of a screen or partition. For example, a rack, sofa, shelf, floor lamp can become a divider.

A small room is equipped with transformable furniture. This can be either a folding sofa or a more functional piece of furniture (for example, a rack with a built-in sofa and a shelf). In apartments with a combination of rooms, the zoning of the bedroom-study may be different. Often, modular systems are used to equip combined spaces. They are distinguished by their compactness and maximum functionality.

The style of the rooms should be the same throughout the dwelling. Otherwise, a sharp change in design will cause discomfort among households. At the same time, the choice of interior design depends on the size of the rooms, the features of the layout.

• In a small apartment, you can choose a modern style as the basis for the style, for example, minimalism. There is nothing superfluous in it, it is an emphasis on functionality without unnecessary decoration of the space. This is a great choice of interior design for a man's room. The color scheme can be neutral or light. Folding or transformable furniture is involved.

• If the room is large, it can be equipped in a Scandinavian style or the currently popular loft direction.

• Some of the stronger sex will like the arrangement in the English style. In this case, a leather sofa is used as a berth. For the working area, they buy an oak table, a massive armchair. Sometimes the office space is supplemented with a small library.

• For a young woman, an interior in pastel colors is preferable. Light shades give the space an atmosphere of lightness and airiness. The style can be different, it is chosen taking into account the needs of the owner of the room.

Correct lighting of the room allows you to make it cozy. In addition, the backlight is used for competent zoning. Thus, the boundaries of each of the zones are designated, an unobtrusive organization of space is introduced. Room lighting can be classic. In this case, the ceiling is considered the main one, and the wall and floor ones are auxiliary. Considering that there are 2 zones in the room, each of them should have its own light.

In this case, the brighter one should be located in the cabinet area. The one with which the resting place is illuminated should be soft and muted. You can illuminate the work area by floor lamps, sconces, ceiling lamps... You can designate a berth led stripby placing it on the ceiling behind the molding or cornice. In addition, this zone can be selected by spots, spotlights or other spotlights built-in or overhead type. Luminaire control can be classic or remote.

By means of hidden lighting, you can create the illusion of a floating ceiling in the recreation area. In this case, lighting can be traditional or colored. RGB luminaires can shine in different colors.Thanks to this, you can change the color of the sleeping space to your liking. The central light can be positioned directly above the bed. Spot lighting can be placed around it.

Considering that it differs in the direct direction of the luminous flux, it is more advisable to place it with an equal pitch between the lamps. Otherwise, some corners of the room will be darkened. Depending on the interior design, you can additionally highlight the shelves of the rack, the borders of the dressing table. Sometimes, in addition to the ceiling lighting, a sleeping place is illuminated in the headboard area, on the sides. It is visually delineated using the illumination of plasterboard elements of suspended ceiling structures.

The color schemes of a room with combined functional areas may be different. In addition to taking into account the general design style, it is necessary to rely on the orientation of the room relative to the cardinal points. When the windows of the room face the north, northeast side, if there is a fence near the window that shades the light, it is necessary to choose light, warm colors (yellowish, peach, orange). A room that is lit all day is best decorated with cool colors. Suitable tones: lilac, mint, blue.

The use of dark tones in the study bedroom is undesirable. Their abundance will bring a share of negativity into the atmosphere. If, nevertheless, you want to use a dark color in the interior, it should be balanced with a light contrast. For example, you can use pastel shades as it.

The decoration of the premises can be non-standard. Often you have to build on the planning elements that complicate the arrangement of furniture and zoning.

If the room is combined with a balcony or loggia, it is there that the office may be located. For this, it is necessary that the condition of the balcony (loggia) is technically good. Besides, this part of the dwelling must be insulated and glazed.

In this case, you can equip a work area that goes into the bedroom. The separation between the balcony and the room can be different (using an arch, sliding door, window removal). This is an ideal design for a bedroom study for small apartments.

A storage niche can become a compact and convenient workplace. You can put a small table and chair in it, and use the shelves for the most necessary accessories for work. If other household members live in the room, it is better to separate the home work area with a screen or textile curtain.

High ceilings allow you to zone the space through complex multi-level ceiling structures with separate lighting for each zone. In duplex apartments, you can resort to arranging an attic bed. The lower tier of the structure can accommodate a desk and chair.

A bay window is an excellent solution for creating a work area with a full level of natural light. Depending on the shape and size of the bay window ledge, here you can place not only a desk, but also a rack, cabinets and a mini-library.
