It is difficult to imagine a person who would not strive to live in a comfortable, cozy house or apartment, where there is everything you need for a good rest. If for owners of spacious housing everything is determined by the availability of free time and finances for its arrangement, then the interior of a small house requires great efforts, attention and imagination. Fortunately, there is no need to invent something radically new. After all, a lot of people are faced with the problem of a small, and sometimes frankly cramped housing. Consider the most popular ways out of this situation.
Arrangement of living room
Residential private houses, the area of which is small, are usually not equipped with a special room for family parties or receiving guests. But to do without such a room is difficult. Therefore, its function is performed by other rooms. Usually the living room is combined with a bedroom or kitchen. In the first case, the place to sleep should be separated from the place of family or friendly gatherings. This can be done with a small cabinet, dresser, curtains.
Attention, it is very important that the bed is not only present, but it is really possible to rest on it, while someone else is in the room. This is facilitated by the rejection of the TV, as well as sources of bright light near the bed.
If the living room is combined with a kitchen, then it makes sense to abandon the large dining table in favor of the coffee. Furniture also should not be bulky. The best solution is a small sofa (perhaps an angular one) and a few chairs, chairs or ottomans. They will fit well into any layout and will not take up much space.
Bedroom
The design of a small country house usually does not provide for a separate spacious room that can be used as a bedroom. There are several interior options that will be a way out:
- confine a narrow sofa in the living room;
- put in a small room a bed that will occupy almost all of its area;
- to equip a bed in the attic under the roof of the house.
In order to implement the last project, you need to free the attic from all things, insulate the roof from the inside and remove part of the attic floor. After that, you need to install a reliable ladder and a sleeper. Its function can perform a hard mattress. Then it remains only to place near the bed a lamp and shelves for the necessary things: books, phone, comb.
Kitchen in a small house
No matter how small the area of the house is, one cannot do without a place where one can store food and cook food, that is, without an equipped kitchen. It is necessary to give preference to the compact model of the refrigerator or sink for dishes, furniture with built-in oven.
A huge role in arranging the kitchen of a small house is played by a variety of shelves and cabinets, which can be located in several levels. Festive sets, jars with exotic spices, voluminous pans and pots, spare detergents can be removed on the upper shelves, only what is really needed often should be left at hand. The bottom surface of the shelves should be equipped with reliable hooks. They will accommodate small pans, cups, ladle, kitchen towels, potholders.
Kitchen interior in a wooden houseBathroom
The area of even the smallest country house usually allows you to place a sit-down bath or shower. This is not the best solution in terms of comfort, but it is due to the need. Household chemicals and laundry detergent can be placed under the bathroom or in the cabinet. On the shelves there is a place for shampoo, shower gel, soap, toothpaste.
In such a small room should actively use the wall. They should fasten hooks for washcloths, towels, bathrobes. The same devices can be placed on the inner surface of the door. Before proceeding with this, it is necessary to assess the quality of the door and the load that does not hurt it. You do not need to save on a good rug, because with a small bathroom size, water splashing on the floor is almost inevitable. It is better to buy several silicone or rubber mats than to spend money on repairing floors and getting rid of mold.
Workplace equipment
The realities of modern life are such that the average person does not often leave work behind the walls of his house. Many take part of the work at home, give it a weekend or part of the vacation, someone works remotely or just likes to view the news while sitting at a stationary computer. In this case, you can not do without a kind of working office on the territory of a country house. A small table for papers and a comfortable chair will fit perfectly into the interior of a small house, but you need to find a place for this furniture. It usually becomes part of the bedroom or living room.
Attention, it is very important to place the desktop near the window or, at least, to install a bright lamp above it.
A good option for a functional interior will be a compact wall for the living room with a built-in desk. In any case, the style of the furniture of the working area should coincide with the design of the living room or bedroom. It is best to choose a ready-made kit from a trusted manufacturer. Then the room will look harmonious and cozy, make a good impression on the most demanding guests, will become a favorite place for family members.
Zoning in the interior of a small house
Often the entire area of a small house is represented by just one room. In this case, it is necessary to correctly divide the space into separate zones: sleeping, working, place of cooking and receiving guests. Best of all this contributes to the installation of one or two shelves, or thin partitions. It will allow you to visually divide the room into several rooms. In addition, the racks will be an additional place to store the necessary things: books, dishes, bedding. And putting them on a vase, figurines or candles can decorate the room.
Another solution would be to install a podium with a bed in a niche wall. And the placement of a bed under the ceiling will make it possible to free up space for a wardrobe, a wardrobe, a desk, an extra chair or a play space for children. The zoning of a country house can also be facilitated by tiles on the kitchen wall, carpets for the bedroom or living room, repeating the shade of furniture, spectacular curtains.
Functional furniture
Without functional furniture it is difficult to imagine the interior of a truly comfortable country house for living. These are products with moving parts that perform several functions at once or unite different interior items. This includes:
- sofas and beds with built-in cupboards and sliding shelves;
- folding chairs, chairs, benches;
- sliding coffee and kitchen tables;
- wardrobe systems with removable shelves;
- book holders with built-in floor lamps;
- ironing boards with a mirror or shelves;
- kitchen furniture with pull-out tables.
Such furniture looks modern, made of durable, reliable materials. With it, the design of even the smallest house will stand out in a special, unique style. Stairs with small boxes for books, towels, socks, souvenirs, and children's toys are also examples of functional furniture. They allow you to compactly place everything you need almost at your fingertips, without cluttering up the space of your home.
Storage in a small house
The problem of storing the necessary things is particularly acute in a small room. Therefore, the owners of such housing can not do without a sufficient number of cabinets and shelves. It is best to place them vertically, without concentrating the main number of drawers on the floor. In the conditions of a small house, you need to use the walls as efficiently as possible by installing hooks and hangers on them. Bulky closet can be replaced with a wardrobe system or rail for clothes. This floor construction with several crossbars allows you to hang a large number of things in a limited area.
If the house has an attic room, then most of the things that are not used in everyday life can be attributed there. Books, outerwear, out-of-season shoes, extra bedding and dishes should be laid out in reliable, durable boxes. Quickly find the necessary things will help the inscriptions on the boxes. It is better to get rid of old furniture that is no longer in use. It will not fit into the design of housing, will occupy a place where you can find the best use.
The overall style of the interior of a small house
With a limited area of housing it is especially important that his style be harmonious. If there is only one room in the house, divided into several zones, then all the furniture should be combined with each other. You can install ready-made kits or independently choose the right things. The small furniture in light colors will successfully fit into the design of a small house.
In general, light colors, such as beige, milky-white, gray, peach, mint, are especially in demand in small rooms. Walls and ceilings of this color will visually expand the space. They can be supplemented with interior details (curtains, floor lamps, statuettes, pillows) of brighter colors - light green, blue, lemon yellow, lilac.
The interior design of each individual house or apartment is individual. But for owners of small housing the following recommendations are relevant:
- strive for minimalism, do not litter the space with unnecessary things;
- give preference to several, well-matched colors or shades;
- if possible, leave the walls open without curling them with variegated carpets and numerous paintings.
Lighting
With an insufficient amount of light, any room seems cramped, uncomfortable and cluttered. Therefore, the interior of a small country house provides good lighting. Windows with curtains or light curtains, light fixtures, floor lamps and table lamps built into the ceiling and walls contribute to this.
There should be several light sources, it is necessary for competent division of space into functional zones. The design of the bedroom provides for the main lamp and one or two extra. If it is combined with the living room, then it can be limited to a nightlight at the head of the bed. For the interior of a small living room indispensable floor lamp that fits into the style of the room. It will complement the main source of light - a chandelier in the center of the ceiling. The kitchen can be used lights on the bottom of hanging cabinets.
