We think over the layout of the studio apartment of 20 sq.m.

To combine beauty, originality and functionality in a small area is a difficult task. Internal content, with all the necessary household and technical equipment comes out on top. Therefore, not superfluous modern, innovative solutions, differing in practicality and ergonomics, in order to rationally manage a small space. You can take as a basis ideas from the photos that are inspirational and demonstrate that the design of a studio apartment of 20 square meters is capable of having its own character. The balance between the universal, standard methods of finishing and the latest fashion trends will allow the interior to become individual and not boring.

Start: zoning and technical issues

Before planning the design of a small studio, you should decide on the priorities, cut off the excess. If the kitchen with a dining room or a bedroom with a living room can be combined through functional furnishing, then with other zones such multitasking is not feasible:

• entrance hall;
• bathroom;
• storage locations.

The proportions of all zones can be different, sometimes even non-standard: studio apartments are attractive for this. But it is necessary to provide personal hobbies or hobbies, a working area with a computer. You should not save on storage systems: a modest area will not tolerate unnecessary things in sight.

The partition will divide the apartment studio, but slightly reduce natural light in the presence of only one window, even when it:

• translucent frosted glass;
• from carved plastic;
• thin strips.

Mobile partition, folding screen or fabric curtains will provide an opportunity for privacy, without affecting the space when folded. They can separate the kitchen from the living room or conditionally isolate the bedroom.

In any case, you should first consider all the technical aspects, such as noise insulation, ventilation, and other communications; the possibility of joining a loggia or balcony. In a miniature apartment there is no place for wires, extension cords - they think up in advance the lighting, the location of the sockets, which are not many, considering the amount of modern technology.

Color spectrum

Options for the main color design a bit:

• white and its variations;
• calm natural tones;
• light pastel in combination with a neutral background.

This does not mean that the apartment becomes monotonous, devoid of bright, juicy accents: turquoise, lavender, berry, lemon. But only under the condition of a uniform distribution over the entire area of ​​the preferred favorite color.

There are equally successful, harmonious combinations, the addition of which against the background of extremely light, white flowers will give its character to the studio, will cause pleasant associations:

• blue + chocolate or taupe;
• bright orange + calm mint;
• green apple + pure light blue.

Actually. The light wood will add comfort, and whitewashing the wooden parts of the interior will allow you to keep the texture without weighing down the overall impression.

If you like changes, then using color accents for such interior objects as textiles, rugs, posters is the best way to transform a 20 m studio design without major repairs as needed.

Perfect style

Achromatic colors with the addition of metal will create a fashionable, slightly futuristic look of a studio apartment: hi-tech, minimalism. What are popular urban areas for small spaces, and what ideas should be considered for use:

• gloss, mirrors, glass, precise geometry;
• completely devoid of excesses: only rationality;
• have the utmost comfort and inflated demands on the surrounding things.
• light gray and white base will not overload the room;
• The combination of expressive textures will complete the image.

The features of industrial design will appeal to young, dynamic owners, but for the studio apartment there are other options that reveal the potential of a small space:

• Quieter versions of the modern style imply the addition of a fresh color, such as orange, but they are still distinguished by the brevity of details in design. Fashion trends, often based on a combination of glossy and matte surfaces, must necessarily be present: velvet, colored glass, muffled luster of metal.
• The Scandinavian style with its whiteness is practical and comfortable enough when using high-quality natural materials, wood.
• Eco-style. Soft light shades for the main surfaces, green shades, live plants, thin wooden trellised panels - an extremely serene atmosphere.

Individuality of design

An open, free layout implies a creative approach to design. Fusion or blending of styles will allow a 20 sq. Studio design to look exclusive, reflecting personal preferences.
Adding original parts, colors, textures, against the background of the basic palette and standard materials, only in metered quantities, will like its ease, expressiveness. The table lists examples of the use of characteristic, recognizable elements that can be used as additional motives.

Design of the main surfaces

Modern materials do not impose restrictions in style, color expression, but from a practical point of view, they choose the optimal view depending on the budget, the initial state of the studio. So, wallpaper for painting are more preferable material than just painting. Sometimes the preparatory work on leveling is more costly than finishing.

The common color for the whole space, the repetition of the same materials will not allow the studio to look fragmented into many segments, but this does not exclude that the walls are completely monochrome.

What methods of transformation do designers offer and how can they be better implemented?

• Accent wall with spectacular wallpaper or other finish. The backlight will create a contrast in the evening, add depth.
• Photowall-paper with a macro photograph, for example, of flowers or leaves, make a menacing impression more often on such a common mini-format. Constantly finding yourself with such an overly global accent can cause fatigue over time.
• Brick finishing, which is relevant not only for the loft style, also adapts. White bricks will add volume to the wall, without affecting the overall color scheme, unlike the aged red ones.
• If the room is long, narrow, then a short wall with a window in some projects is an object for color creativity.
• Mirror wall - an alternative to wallpaper with perspective.
• A bold move that erases boundaries is the design of a section of a wall (for example, behind a sofa) with a floor covering.

Horizontal Planes: Unity Principles

Modern materials will easily allow you to implement a reasonable approach to the unity of the flooring. This will add visual freedom to the studio apartment. Imitation of light wood on porcelain stoneware will provide practicality in the necessary areas, and finishing with laminate of the main, residential part - budget. Warm floor in strategic areas (hallway, kitchen, bathroom) will not be superfluous.

Ceiling and realized lighting should be considered together. If the ceiling height does not exceed 2.5 m, leveling and painting with light paint are the best ways to finish. Stretch ceilings with built-in lights will take extra centimeters. In order not to lower the level, use:

• false beams;
• LED-lights on the upper perimeter;
• track systems, compact and not conspicuous.

If the ceilings are low, it is reasonable to abandon the usual look of chandeliers, especially over the free places of aisles. Fashionable lamps will play along with the zoning, and various lighting scenarios will create the necessary atmosphere, turning the living room into a bedroom.

Kitchen area

Absolutely deaf facades turn the idea of ​​tradition, becoming part of the architecture. They are ideal for the concept of minimalism, preferred for the design of the kitchen suite studio apartments in the area of ​​20 square meters.

If the view with separate levels is more familiar, then the most conspicuous area, the kitchen apron, acquires the function of additional decor. Skinali is a practical, at the same time limitless, way of transformation.

L-shaped set, which will be chosen by those for whom it is important to have a full-fledged kitchen for regular use, has its own characteristics. They are sometimes not noticeable in the photo, but are reflected in the total area:

• different width of the wings;
• no canted corner;
• maximum height.

The bar counter will serve for snacking and will become the conditional separator of the culinary zone with the living. The latest models are quite capable of replacing the dining table of the usual, classic look.

What methods of space saving are implemented in the kitchen:

• retractable, tiltable table top or withdrawable bollard;
• folding chairs;
• miniature version of the technique.

Council The useful area of ​​the basement is used for small drawers, at the same time eliminating the cleaning under the lower section of the kitchen unit.

New level and possibilities of furnishing

The second level, a variety of podium options allow you to add a useful living room area:

• a berth - sufficient ventilation system and the ability to be in a sitting position;
• working area on the podium - bottom roll-out bed;
• modular systems, and even budget firms, serve as stepping stones.

If ideas with a podium do not fit: a bed that folds up and turns into a cupboard during the daytime is an alternative way to have a full-sized bed in the living room. Sill is actively used as a table or a soft seating area.

The functionality of the furnishings for the mini-studio is given a central place. Transformation, modularity - those principles, without which it is difficult to place the necessary:

• Composite tables (like a matryoshka).
• Transparent furniture for a dining group of glass or modern plastic does not visually overload, while being a trendy microtrend.
• Glossy facades of MDF are suitable for all furniture, making the console and cabinets stylish and at the same time not so heavy.

Actually. Piers near the door or window are used: shallow shelves for books, or with beautiful drawers, baskets, organizing storage.

In the bathroom, combined with a bathroom - a similar principle of ergonomics:

• built-in shower instead of the bathroom;
• shower compartment is not rectangular, but with a beveled corner;
• superthin heated towel rail;
• mounted plumbing;
• sliding door.

Decor: useful and beautiful

Even one decorative expressive art object is sometimes enough to attract attention in the interior and distract from the small size of a studio apartment of 20 sq. For example, such designer designer items - small pedestals, including mobile ones, are very comfortable. Their shape, colors, prints allow you to demonstrate any idea.

There are several decorating techniques and lifehacks designed to deceive perception:

• Leave empty a few cells in an open shelf system, like a honeycomb.
• Built-in closet can be fenced off by a curtain and create the illusion of an additional window.
• Pictures and posters at eye level - the feeling of the height of the ceiling.
• Black and white graphics, such as zigzags - drawing a small carpet will attract attention.

Adhering to the rules of minimalism, it is easy to create a space that is fully adapted to personal needs. Small footage, together with the latest developments for furniture and current design trends, can work wonders without depriving optimism and quality of life even on 20 squares.
