In the presence of a single living space, you have to choose: which zones to leave, and which to abandon? In this article, we will analyze in detail what are the layouts of a one-room apartment, tell you how objects differ in different types of houses and what to pay attention to.
The best layouts of one-room apartments
Types of layouts
Let's consider the main types of planning solutions for a studio apartment with photo projects.
Classic
This is a standard version of the organization of space, in which a kitchen, one large room, a bathroom and toilet (can be combined) and an entrance area are assumed in a small car. Such planning solutions are found both in the old fund and in new buildings. The main question that needs to be solved in such odnushki: what role will the living space play? The first option is a bedroom. In this case, the living room is either abandoned, or a recreation area is allocated in the kitchen. The second option is just the same living room, and the sleeping place can be isolated here (for example, separated by a glass partition) or a folding sofa plays its role. Below we will consider both solutions.
Example #1
This one belongs to a young man working in the IT field. The space was designed taking into account the lifestyle of one person. The planning solution assumed a kitchen and a separate living room, it was taken under a bedroom with a workplace. From there there is an exit to the balcony, it was important for the customer. He also did not want to see cabinets in the recreation area, so all the storage systems were organized in the lobby.
Before
After
The interior came out bold and specific. The young man is a big fan of the movie "Alien", and this hobby formed the basis of the design. It turned out to be spectacular, minimalistic and very stylish. At the same time, at any time, the space can be transformed by replacing details, updating textiles and decor, you will get a completely different mood.
Example #2
This project is also designed for one tenant, but for an older woman. The customer was her daughter, who wanted to surprise her mother. The space is organized in such a way that the living part combines the functions of a living room, an office and a bedroom. Instead of a bed, there is a comfortable folding sofa, a work desk is closer to the window. The bathroom and toilet were combined for convenience. The main storage system is located in the hallway, although the bedroom-living room also has shelving and a roomy cabinet.
Before
After
The customer's mother loves cherry blossoms, so the designer picked up wallpaper on this topic. Stylistically, the basis was taken soft neoclassical, the color scheme is gentle, warm, cozy. There are many tactile pleasant textures in the interior. The brightest part of the housing is the green-pink kitchen.
Eurodvushka
Eurodvushka is one of the most popular types of housing now. The name confuses many: despite the fact that technically there is only one living room here, it is usually a compact isolated bedroom, but most of the space is allocated for a spacious kitchen-living room. As a result, in practice, two rooms are obtained. This organization of space came to us from European countries, which is also reflected in the name.
Example #1
Eurodwells are suitable both for renting out, and for full-fledged or temporary residence of the owners. The latter just refers to this project, housing was designed for a businesswoman who happens to be in the city passing through. The planning solution is based on these data. No major changes were made, but the entrance to the kitchen-living room was moved and the area of the private part was reduced to allocate a dressing room for the hostess.
Before
After
The design turned out to be concise and elegant, but at the same time moderately eclectic: elements of neoclassicism, minimalism and even Art Deco are combined here. An atmospheric detail is the fireplace in the living room, which makes the common area really cozy. The color scheme was chosen neutral, in noble natural shades.
Example #2
And here is an example of a small-sized car for a young couple. Both are active people who love traveling. Finishing from the developer satisfied customers, but they wanted to improve the functional content. So, in the kitchen-living room, it was also necessary to allocate a workplace, and in the bedroom to put a wardrobe, arrange a dressing room and plan a place for a future baby cot. It was also essential to have a bathtub instead of a shower cabin.
Before
After
The design turned out to be bright, but balanced. There are many saturated shades here: blue, light and dark green, yellow-orange. But they are balanced by basic tones like white and gray, as well as a cozy and calm texture of wood.
Free
The free layout is in many ways similar to a studio, but here the space is rented by the developer without internal walls, only wet zones are designated, which can only be changed according to the rules of redevelopment. The advantage of such housing is that even at the project stage you can arrange partitions in the living area the way you need it, and allocate additional spaces: for example, a dressing room.
Example #1
Small cars often "sin" with a small number of windows, which is why enough natural light does not penetrate into some parts of the housing. There were three floor-to-ceiling windows at the same facility. The developer did not erect partitions, so the designer planned the location of the premises taking into account the needs of the customer. As a result, a spacious kitchen-living room turned out, where a folding sofa can serve as a sleeping place for a visiting son, and the corner part was given to the master bedroom.
Before
After
For the design, we chose the loft style and an atypical light palette for it. Initially, the walls were already decorated with dark brick tiles, but it was repainted. The result was a minimalistic, but voluminous and textured space full of light. Thanks to this, even a small area (38 squares) does not seem cramped.
Example #2
In this project, on an area of 39 sq. m, it was possible to arrange a separate bedroom, a kitchen with a seating area, several storage systems and a spacious bathroom. The object was rented by the developer without partitions, there was only a supporting column in the center. Wet zones were also outlined. The designer made a non-standard layout, increasing the bathroom at the expense of the hallway, and the bedroom at the expense of the bathroom. The agreement became possible because the one-bedroom apartment is on the top floor and there is no neighbor's bathroom above it. To hide the living part, a mirror door was used.
The customer loves bright colors, so blue-blue and green shades appeared in the palette. They are set off by white and beige-brown. The result is a perfect balance of saturation: the space does not seem colorful and gaudy, but at the same time it is filled with colors.
Type of house
Studio apartments, photos of which are presented below, are available in any houses. Planning decisions depend on the year of construction. Each type of house has its own characteristics that should be taken into account when buying real estate.
Stalinka
The Stalinist buildings include the period from the 30s to the 60s. Among the old stock, this type of housing is popular due to high ceilings, fairly spacious kitchens and good sound insulation of the premises. The disadvantages include the general deterioration of the house (if there has been no repair for a long time) and often difficult redevelopment in coordination.
Odnushki in houses of different series consist of:
Khrushchyovka
In the 50s, the Khrushchevki replaced the Stalinist series. This is a common type of secondary housing, but in its original form it is difficult to call it comfortable for living now. Therefore, the modern design of a studio apartment almost always involves redevelopment.
It is required because of the features of Khrushchev:
Depending on the series, kitchens of 6-7 sq. m, a living room of 18-19 sq. m, a combined bathroom and a small hallway were made in such odnushki. Many designers (and residents themselves) try to visually combine the kitchen and living areas to create a sense of spaciousness in a small area. Often this cannot be done fully because of the gas stove, so they use, for example, glass sliding doors.
Panel
Panelki (or Brezhnevki) can be safely called the most popular type of secondary.
The houses of these series are considered to be improved Khrushchevs, since the square footage of housing has increased, kitchens and bathrooms have become larger, and ceilings are higher. The disadvantages include the fact that most of the walls in such houses are load-bearing, which complicates the redevelopment. It is difficult to single out the common features of one-liners, since there are dozens of series that differ significantly from each other.
New building
Modern houses are no longer built in series, so here the variety of objects becomes even greater.
Odnushki can be tiny (30-35 squares) and spacious, with partitions already erected or only with designated wet zones. The location and size of windows, wall thickness, ceiling height also vary, it all depends on the specific building. In addition, modern buildings are more comfortable, they are equipped with Parking lots, large elevators, security, etc. There are residential complexes of business and premium class, club houses.
What to consider when repairing a studio apartment
If you look at the photos of alterations of one-room apartments, it becomes clear that the approach to the design of housing can be very different. Someone zones the space in a standard way, and someone chooses unusual, incomprehensible solutions for many. The reason is for whom the small-sized car is intended.
For myself
If the one-bedroom apartment is not intended for resale or rent, but for the tenants themselves, the organization of the space requires a personal approach. It is necessary to understand what is important for family members, whether there are any specific requirements or life scenarios that require non-standard solutions. To make housing as comfortable as possible for yourself, understand what is important to you.
Here are the key points:
For rent
A completely different approach is used when making a rental home. Instead of individual comfort, universal solutions that will suit most people should be at the forefront. But there are nuances here, for example, the lease term.
So, for daily rent of living space to tourists or those who came on a business trip, a good location is more important than the square footage. The space may be small, it is not necessary to provide complete privacy of the sleeping area, using, for example, blind partitions or sliding doors. Since on such trips they usually cook at a minimum, a compact kitchen with a mini-stove, a small sink and a work area will be enough.
But a one-bedroom apartment that is rented for a long time should be as thoughtful and comfortable as possible. Here it is worth providing a secluded sleeping place (it is best that it be a separate room), a standard kitchen where it is convenient to cook every day, enough storage systems. Ideally, at least a small workplace, because now many people study and work from home. You also need to allocate enough space for all necessary appliances, including a washing machine and a roomy refrigerator.
