Design bedroom cabinet +75 photos of zoning examples

Owners of small apartments have to refine the design of the premises and look for non-standard interior solutions. Combined zones - a stylish and versatile option. Modern design methods allow you to create two completely different areas within the same room, which absolutely do not interfere with each other. You will not surprise anyone with the bedroom-living room and kitchen-dining room, but the combination of a sleeping room and a working area still looks fresh and original. This option is suitable for those who need space for activities, but there is no place to organize it. During the day the bedroom is usually empty, so no one will interfere with the work, and competent zoning of the room will allow workaholics to stay up late. Consider the nuances of design of such premises, their pros and cons.

Features, advantages and disadvantages

The advantages of such design become apparent in the conditions of lack of space in the apartment or private house. If the owners have another free room, but it is necessary for a nursery or a living room, then the working platform can be arranged in the framework of the sleeping room. With the help of transforming furniture during the daytime, the seating area can be completely transformed and used exclusively for working at home. Cabinet-bedroom has a number of fixable flaws that must be eliminated at the design stage of the interior. The main disadvantage is the inconvenience of work at a later time, if two people sleep in the room. Unfortunately, not all biological clocks go in sync. Larks have enough day, and owls make up for lost time under the cover of darkness. When one person goes to bed, and the second just sits down to work, the situation can get heated up to quarrels. Bright light, music, clicking of keys or the monitor of the switched on computer can interfere with "skylark".

If the workaholic conducts important negotiations from his home, then the kind of bed that was disassembled and the general mess that sometimes remains in the room in the morning can spoil the impression from the other person. The hardest thing is to smooth out the contrast between the zones. The bedroom is traditionally decorated in soothing colors, its interior should adjust to sleep and relaxation, while the working atmosphere is always maintained in the office. The conditions of these zones do not correspond to each other, they are contrasted and the designer’s task is to smooth out these differences and find a balance point. For this reason, it is necessary to properly differentiate the space so that both platforms can be used autonomously, without contact with each other, but at the same time not violate the integrity of the room. The drawbacks of the study-bedroom are removable, and therefore the combination can be carried out effectively.

Space allocation rules

Usually the bed and the bedroom itself occupy the lion’s share of the space, and the cabinet gets, at best, a quarter of it. If a room is rectangular in shape, then it is conditionally divided into three equal areas, two of which occupy a resting place. Zoning can be organized using several techniques:

• Decorative arches and podiums. They are used as symbolic delimiters, they only conditionally make it clear where the bedroom ends and the working corner begins.
• Partitions made of plywood or drywall. They very clearly divide the room, but are not suitable for small rooms, as they crush them even more. Such options are also inconvenient for rooms with one window, which remains on one side of the improvised wall and deprives the second of natural light. But in drywall or plywood, you can make decorative niches that complement the interior picture.
• Zoning with furniture. A very convenient option in the bedroom, where a wardrobe or a rack with working equipment is used as a border "pillar". Other bulky furniture that goes over the wall is usually not used in this room.
• Mobile designs. Screens, partitions or simple curtains that are cleaned when necessary are simple and effective to use.
• "Green" wall. Organically it looks in eco-style and other directions, which cause natural elements in the interior, but it is ineffective for light and sound insulation.
• Cabinet in the closet. Perhaps the most nontrivial solution. In this case, the cabinet is located behind a decorative wall (built-in wardrobe) in the manner of a dressing room. It is visible only during work. For the rest of the day, the study is safely hidden from prying eyes, and the bedroom seems like an ordinary room, used strictly for its intended purpose.

All of the above methods of zoning space are universal and suitable for any interior styles.

Organization of the working area

The most common option is to place the cabinet by the window, and the sleeping area is at the back of the room. During the day you can do business with natural light, and at night the windows are closed with curtains and a mobile partition is installed. The main thing in this design: do not deprive the bedroom of sunlight. Otherwise, it will become "cold" and uncomfortable. In the room-room they place the minimum necessary for work: a computer desk, a chair, hinged shelves or shelves with books and objects necessary for the activity. If the area permits, then in the working area they additionally put a sofa or a pair of soft poufs in case you want to rest, and spreading the bed in the middle of the day is uncomfortable for these purposes. All elements of furniture should be placed compactly and economically.

The choice of colors

When choosing a color palette, they are repelled by two aspects:

• On which side do the windows go, that is, does the room often visit the sun's rays?
• The overall style of the room.

If the bedroom-study is located on the shady side, and the sun rarely peeks into the room, then the lack of light is compensated for by warm shades of the spectrum:

• Yellow;
• Orange;
• Peach;
• Pink.

In sunny bedrooms, working areas of light and heat with excess, so it is acceptable to use cold colors here:

• Blue;
• Purple;
• Green (the mint shade is especially demanded);
• Fuchsia.

Avoid too dark colors, as they give the room unnecessary "weight". Additionally, they are diluted with neutral, pastel tones. In the bedroom, it is simply necessary, since here one has to psychologically relax.

In the study allowed the use of several bright accents, but within the overall color composition.

Choice of furniture

The work area is always associated with functional office furniture, which has no place in the bedroom. In this situation, we will have to look for a compromise. In both areas, the furniture should be as neutral and versatile as possible, but without the feeling of a “government house,” which is often found in offices. The minimum set includes a sleeping area, a wardrobe, bedside tables or a chest of drawers, a workplace, a chair, a shelving unit. Original look options with transforming beds. At night, the bed is unfolded, and during the day it is compactly assembled and turns into a cozy sofa. Thus, it will be possible to kill two birds with one stone: free up space for movement without interference, to equip a cozy corner for day rest. In apartments with panoramic windows, a bed is generally installed with a headboard to the windows. The special design of the model allows you to fold it into a double-sided sofa with one common back. Such a non-standard solution allows arranging two independent zones at once: for seeing the surrounding beauties and for drinking tea with guests. A wonderful opportunity to find your own quiet corner for those who love solitude. The cabinet and the rack can be combined into one complex structure. Some models provide both internal filling and shelves on the back side, which are not supposed to be moved to the wall.
It is important to know. For the delimitation of the premises it is still better to use a rack with through shelves. In small rooms, it will create a feeling of lightness of the barrier, which does not weigh down or encumber the space.

Lighting

Lighting is classified into several types:

In the bedroom-office will have to combine not only two functional areas, but almost all types of lighting. Without central lighting, the room will appear gloomy. In the recreation area, a couple of sconces or lamps on the bedside tables are enough. Accent emphasize the border zones. For example, a decorative arch or podium is marked with spotlights. They do not strain the eyes, but add room style and elegance. Directional lighting must be applied in the working area (desk lamp) and possibly in the area of ​​the bed, if the owners love to read before going to bed.

Stylistic direction

In minimalism, oriental transportable screens look spectacular in the role of a delimiter of the combined zones. The style came to us from Japan, so the pictures use thematic ones: a geisha with an umbrella, a branch of cherry blossoms, a pagoda, a lotus, a fan. The advantage will be given to white, gray, black colors. As a “lively” note, it is permissible to use very light shades of green, pink, lilac, blue. If the owner of the working area prefers creative disorder, then you will have to keep your inventory in closed shelves, and choose the appropriate rack. This oriental style does not tolerate unnecessary details and chaos. To combine a bedroom with a cabinet in the classic use luxurious arches with stucco and monograms. The room will be dominated by calm colors (beige, chocolate, honey tones), expensive and heavy textiles, an abundance of gold, crystal, bronze and light patterns. The secretary and the four-poster bed are a great addition to the overall elegant and expensive picture. The basis of this style is strict symmetry. A classic room should unobtrusively speak about the prosperity of the owners, therefore, only natural materials and, accordingly, expensive materials are used in its design.

Neoclassical in this respect is less demanding. Style allows the use of imitation, creating only the illusion of naturalness. Although both of these styles went through almost the same history of formation, as a result they have a number of differences. Neoclassicism to a greater extent meets the needs of modern man, but not without prejudice to the luxury of the situation. In the Scandinavian direction, a lot of white is used in combination with shades of blue. This is a “cold” style that prefers an abundance of light that is lacking in winter. For rooms facing the shady side, an excellent option to organically fill the lack of heat and sun. Combining directions is permissible in eclecticism and fusion. Both directions bring light confusion to the room, but it enlivens the atmosphere and makes it more colorful. This design is suitable for positive people who are morally relaxing in creative disorder.

Cabinet in the small bedroom

In the small bedroom and the office will be appropriate. The ultracompact variant will be suitable for these rooms: a workplace in a case. At the lower boundary in the decoration of the walls often let horizontal lines or ornament, which will expand the space. In such a room used an abundance of light and pastel shades. The windows do not curtain with heavy curtains, rather light curtains or bamboo panels that maximize the opening during the day. In small rooms it is unacceptable to use full partitions. In their role can only be mobile designs or light racks with books, painted in white and its shades. One of the most popular options is frosted walls made of frosted glass. They can be etched pictures, if the style of the interior allows it. Often, zoning is generally refused, and the workplace is placed on one side of the head of the bed or in the legs. Unfortunately, this option is not very convenient if one person is sleeping and the other is working. In rooms with an acute shortage of space (for example, 4 square meters) it is not necessary to choose. If the room is a non-standard form and there is a niche in it, then the working area is placed exactly in it.

Workplace in a spacious bedroom

Spacious room provides designers great opportunities. Here you can equip two independent zones without sacrificing space. Decorative walls and live, “green” delineators are used. The office is designed according to all canons: with a place for activity and a corner for recreation. Organically look such rooms with elements of industrial style, loft or high-tech. Destinations prefer freedom for the embodiment of luxurious and stylish ideas. If there are two windows in the room, then they dispose of this gift to the maximum: one opening is left for the rest area, and the second is requisitioned for the working room. It is from the windows that repel when designing functional areas. Decorative walls make niches for placing decorations and souvenirs. The combined partitions, where glass alternates with opaque materials, look original. Geometric patterns of such combinations can be very different: from rectangles to smooth, wavy lines.

Bedroom with office on the balcony

In Khrushchev, where a small, not only apartment, but also the rooms themselves, a working area is organized on the balcony. Under the conditions of the “struggle” for each meter, this option combines space saving and high functionality. The balcony should of course be insulated so that the premises have a common temperature setting. Such a combined layout provides for the dismantling of the window, and sometimes the demolition of the partition, which used to be part of the wall and support for the window sill. Although in some cases it is left, and on top of an empty window opening is decorated with shelves. Thus it turns out to simultaneously combine spaces and delineate their contours. An indisputable plus in this situation is the minimum cost of furnishing, so the option is suitable for budget redevelopment.

Conclusion

Design a bedroom with a cabinet to develop is not as difficult as it may seem at first glance. The main thing in the combination of two polar-active zones is to find a compromise border that will smooth out their inconsistencies. Taking as a basis a few simple rules and inspiration, you can get a unique design option in which you will relax with pleasure, and work with enthusiasm.
