The category of people who leads labor activity Remotely, outside the office, often faces the inability to establish the workflow properly. In most cases, this is not connected with the lack of such important qualities as disciplined or responsibility, but an incorrect organization of its time and workplace.
If the first problem is able to solve a pair of books or good articles By time management, then the equipment of the workplace with their own hands is a more complex task. We suggest combining the design of the bedroom and the office in the same room. It is a sleeping room that is empty in working hours, so it is impossible better suitable To create a comfortable working space.
We will not only tell you how to choose the right furniture, to separate zones, choose a winning color decoration. But both how to organize the design of the bedroom-office, without hurting the intimate atmosphere of the bedroom.
Step first - zoning space
Many mistakenly believe that each room should perform one strictly defined function: kitchen - for cooking, living room - to meet guests and cozy gatherings, bedroom - for sleep, etc. This approach to the interior design is somewhat outdated. Comfortable zoning techniques are capable not only unobtrusively divide the room on comfort zones, but also to give the room an additional hobby taste with originality.
Bedroom design combined with the office can be divided into functional zones via:
- Decorative partitions and arched structures.
- Podium.
- Sliding doors.
- Furniture objects: wardrobe, racks (optimal "material" for zoning in a small room).
- Light and colors - workspace must be decorated in more light Tones and is located closer to the source of daylight.
- Movable fabric designs (curtains, screen).
- Different floor coverings.
Specialists argue that the zoning of the room in proportion is the most harmonious looks in proportion to two. In the case of the club-bedroom, it is wiser to give most Space Space Zone.
Sometimes the ability to represent the fact that from the conceived will ultimately end up, therefore, when planning the future interior, it is convenient to use special programs.
Organization of the working area
Tune in the desired wave helps the atmosphere around us. In the bedroom, it sets up for peace and recreation, which contradicts the need to concentrate on the active working process.
That is why the organization is directly working area is one of the most important points In the design of the combined bedroom-office. It is best to arrange a workplace by the window and sit back to the bedroom area located in the depths of the room.
This is due to the fact that the work requires bright lighting, whereas for rest it, on the contraindication, is contraindicated. Another plus of such a distinction - the look will not fall on the bed and distracted from the workflow.
Original workplace workplace ideas in the bedroom:
- The working area, located at the foot of the bed - is usually used if it is impossible to transfer the bed from the window zone, this reception significantly saves the place.
- Workplace placed instead bedside Tumbler - Convenient in small-sized apartments.
- Registration of the working area in the corner or niche - it makes it interesting to beat complex structures premises.
- Another option is to embed a work area in the closet. The space of the cabinet will be markedly exclusively during the daytime, during operation. By closing the cabinet door in the evening, you will completely hide the working area.
- An excellent solution for the design of the working area is the removal of the office on the insulated balcony adjacent to the bedroom.
An elegant and ergonomic solution is to use a windowsill or a second-hand table, if necessary, transforming into a closet. Another good advice To save space - if during the work you need working with a computer, purchase a TV adapter and get rid of the second monitor indoors.
Lighting and color palette
In solving the problem on how to organize workplace In the bedroom, the choice of a huge role color palette and lighting. For different functional zones, they should differ.
In the bedroom zone, the lighting should be relaxing and muted: you can use soft yellow light traditional incandescent bulbs. In the working area, it is necessary to set point lighting on the left. How it is impossible to suit the energetic blue or white light luminescent lamps. Excellent option - accommodation around the perimeter of the room of point lamps.
The interior of the bedroom with the working area is to matte pastel colors. Bright saturated tones will not only annoy the sleeping area, but also to interfere with the concentration of attention in the working. For different zones it is possible to use different colors. The main thing is that they are harmoniously combined with each other.
Tip: Cabinet in a small bedroom It is preferable to draw up in the style of minimalism: minimum of functional furniture items and neutral calm shades. Otherwise, the room will look clouded.
FROM successful options The design of the bedroom-office in geometric style can be found in the link.
If you do not have the opportunity to allocate a separate room for the private account, you must try to withstand the minimalistic style when designing the working area in the bedroom. Indoor with a computer table and an office chair pads with ruffles and others decorative elements Will look ridiculous.
The bedroom is a fairly good room for organizing a working corner without prejudice to the recreation area. The size of the space or costs embedded in the room equipment, but the use of successful design techniques.
IN modern conditions Not every family can afford to buy a house or an apartment with a lot of rooms, where all residents could get free to accommodate. Many live B. one-bedroom apartments, Studio apartments, and someone owns a living space with a large metro station that needs to be competent. In such cases, the zoning of space is the best way to save comfort for each family member, use every meter of housing with maximum benefit, and make not very comfortable accommodation more convenient and functional.
Types and objectives of the zoning of the living room
When people resort to zoning their dwellings, they usually pursue certain goals:
- Divide one room for different areas of the zone - for example, a recreation area and for sleep.
- Divide the zones of personal and for everyone - for example, the arrangement of the place to work in the hall.
- To visually increase small premises And make more comfortable big.
- Make one general room as much as possible, embody on a small area all the needs of the family.
It is not recommended to divide the living room more than four different functional areas, and better for two or three, otherwise the effect of litterness and overcrowding is possible, which will not add to the residents of aesthetic pleasure.
Zoning the living room can be done with different rooms, having received a dynamic and comfortable room as a result, where every corner will be rationally used.
Popular associations:
- living room and bedrooms;
- living room and kitchen;
- living room and work zone;
- living room and children's;
- living room and dining room;
- living room and hallway.
The union of the guest room and the bedroom is quite popular in the people, especially in small apartments, where one a large room Written to everything. Or parents give a separate room to children, and they themselves are arranged in the hall, organizing it for several needs at once. If this is a big room, then the task is facilitated. You can even install a full-fledged bed, separating it with appropriate means in a separate bed corner. It will be more difficult if the area of \u200b\u200bthe hall is small. The easiest option in this case is to buy a good folding sofa. But to lay out and fold it daily is not entirely comfortable, just like to clean in the room, if it is not possible to fold it. You can order a transforming bed that may turn into a closet or another piece of furniture.
No less often connect the living room and the kitchen, which is relevant in apartments studios and one-bedroom apartments. Most often, the zones separator performs a bar counter, which can be issued from the side of the hall in the color of its walls.
The kitchen area is also best located closer to the window - abundance natural light Need to cook dishes. The juicy and bright photo wallpapers will be relevant with the image of fruits and other goodies. It is very important to pay attention to the lighting in the kitchen - it is better to make it a brighter, well-highlighting the working area, and in the living room more scattered and mild.
The zoning of the working area and the living room is also popular thanks to the convenience and relative ease of organization. The workplace should not be passing, you can accommodate it away from natural lighting and pay attention to artificial, but the latter must be made as intense as possible. Live flowers or vases will not only decorate the working area, but also a little spoil it.
Separation of the working area and living room
The combination of living room and children's less rationally, but still sometimes the decision is made in favor of such a tandem. The more the guest room, the easier it will divide it into such zones. Part for children is better to separate with the help of various partitions or furniture, and you need to thoroughly think over all the nuances so that the child is convenient to spend time in its corner, and also fully rest.
Less often combine living room and dining room, usually in the case when they have a very small kitchen. The dining group is better to place near the window, it will be convenient to eat in the afternoon and watch beautiful views outside the window in the evenings.
In the dining room zone, bright accessories and general bright decoration will be appropriate, which should nevertheless combine with the common living room style. Lighting, as in the kitchen, it is better to make brighter.
Zoning kitchen and living room
The union of the hallway and the living room can well expand the space of the apartment. In this case, more muted lighting will be appropriate in the hallway zone, and big mirror It will further increase the space and will benefit the residents going to the exit.
Methods of zoning living room

What you need to take into account when zoning space
If the zones allocated in the rooms are completely opposite in their intended purpose, it is better to organize not one central lighting, but in each zone to highlight its intensity. Different landsrs, table lamps You can put there, where they will need more, and point lighting will allocate exactly the area that needs to be better high.
In a small living room, it is better to avoid large and bright accents to better even reduce the small area.

Many of us from time to time, and even regularly work at home. But, unfortunately, not every housing allows you to select a separate room under the office or workshop. Today we will talk about how to make a convenient workplace in the living room, without hurting its design.
Workplace in the living room - where exactly to locate it?
To answer this question, decide what time you usually have to work at home.
We work at home day
If you work at home mostly in the daytime, the workplace is better to place in the zone with good natural light. After all, sunlight improves the mood and improves performance. A traditional approach with obvious advantages is a workplace in the living room at the window. You not only "catch" daylightBut you will probably find a place for the shelves with books or documents. The desktop in this case can be made to order with such a calculation so that its countertop and window sill constituted one. It not only looks harmonious, but also saves a place. IN small room It is possible to do without the table at all, the wide window sill successfully cope with his role.
You are especially lucky if there is an erker in the living room. After all, this multi-faceted glazed "lantern" seems to be created for the design of a convenient working area, the main advantage of which is excellent uniform lighting from all sides. And from direct sunlight will protect the curtain or blinds.
If there is a warning balcony or loggia in the apartment, the working area can be equipped exactly there. So you remove the maximum benefit of all of your square meters, not at the light of the living room itself. Sometimes it is advisable to combine this territory with the living room. In some cases, it is easy enough to remove window block Between the room and the balcony, and on the residue of the wall partition, fasten the worktop. As a result of these minimum destruction, you will increase your living space and create a workplace with good natural light.
We work at home in the evening
If the houses have to work predominantly in the evening, first of all, it is necessary to take into account that the living room is a common room. And, as a rule, it is in the evenings that the whole family is going to talk here or watch TV. Therefore, the work area in the living room should be located so as not to infringe on any interests: one should be comfortable to relax, and others work. How to achieve this?
You may have to taste the idea with neat cantilever tablePleared close to the back of the sofa. With this location of furniture, the work area and a seating area in the living room are planned, but not fully separated. Having settled at the table with work or needlework, you will be near your loved ones, you can support a common conversation or an edge of your eye to see an interesting gear.
If classes require concentration and increased attentionIt is worth removing the workplace away from the TV. The working will be less distracted if it sits back to the living room. The table can be installed in the interval between the cabinets or between the closet and the wall. Such an improvised niche will create a sense of isolation from everything around what is happening and will help tune in to the working way.
Working area in the living room - do you need partitions?
Solving whether the work area will be separated from the rest of the room in the living room, take into account the size and shape of the room, the location of the windows, as well as the number of inhabitants of the apartment and the genus of your classes.
The partition is not an end in itself, but a tool that needs to be wishes reasonably. After all, it can make a small room even closer, but the long rectangular room is able to give proportionality and comfort.
The photos below are a beautiful living room with a workplace in a small studio apartment. A narrow table for two hosts was installed in a shallow, especially for this created niche, but separated by the partition did not become the working area from the rest of the room. Look at what spacious it seems to be a small, but one-piece multifunctional space.
And the room on the next photo produces an impression too stretched and somewhat dull. The zoning of the workplace with the help of a neat partition in this living room would be quite relevant.
It is not necessary to blow up the living room, if a single free artist lives in the apartment, because he will not interfere with himself. It can position its workplace absolutely anywhere, even on the cantilever shelf next to the TV. And for a family man it will be extremely uncomfortable: try to focus when football or melodramatic passions boil over the ear!
If a large family lives in the apartment, the living room with a working area made by the partition will become a real salvation for a person engaged in mental labor. Ways to separate their asylum from the noisy world living room a lot: solid plasterboard "wall" in the spirit of minimalism or a popular design with shelves-niches, book Stellage. or light translucent plastic, glass panel with decor or partition with increased sound insulation from matte glass blocks, sliding panels or just heavy curtains ...
The list on this does not end, the choice is yours.
The main thing is that in this corner it is possible to focus without interference, as well as place working facilities, folders with documents and even afford some creative chaos. After all, you received not just a workplace in a common living room - you created a piece of your personal space.
Living room with workplace ... in the closet
The lucky one, whose main working tool is a laptop, can afford to work, not even getting out of bed. For him, the organization of the workplace is rather a question of self-discipline.
More difficult for those who deal with a lot of paper documents. And it is very difficult to need needlewomen when they are faced with the need to organize their workplace in a common living room, especially if the room is small. Where, not littering the room, store kilometers of fabrics and ribbons, yarn kilograms, beads mountains, chests of fittings and other treasures? Yes, so that everything is at hand, otherwise, in search of the desired loskutka or threads will leave the whole clock.
Let's turn to the experience of previous generations. They lived long before the appearance of digital carriers in a very "real" world, and therefore came up with a secreter. What do you like to taste: bureau in vintage style with a folding lid or modern model with retractable table top? And you can make the order a spacious wardrobe organizer, which will have several folding and retractable working surfaces at once.
In the depths of this furniture there is a place for a personal office with an extensive paper archive, and for a home workshop with all its tools and consumables. At the right moment, the magic cabinet is easily and quickly develops, so as not to break the order in the living room. It does not have to worry that the needles left on the table or important papers will fall into the young fidget, because everything is reliably closed. Finally, the psychological moment is important: they opened the wardrobe - and you at work, closed - you can relax and relax.
Look at the selection of our photos and make sure that the living room with the workplace arranged in the closet is beautiful and very comfortable.
Living room design with workplace - Briefly about the main
Thinking out the design of the living room with a workplace, you can go in two ways: either emphasize the working area, or, on the contrary, make it the most imperceptible. The main thing is that the result is the interior, comfortable for you and your loved ones.
Select the working area in the living room. Contrast furniture, decorative partitions, color and texture of walls, backlight and multi-level ceilings.

Choose furniture
Furniture for the living room with a workplace should be not only convenient, but also harmoniously selected. Simplify the task can purchase a wall with the already provided desktop.

But for a small room wall - not the best way, she may just not fit there. In this case, share special attention choice of desktop. Hardly someone will have to do a living room with a massive desk in the office style. Preferred compact narrow tables, possibly folding. Save the place and facilitate the space of the model with two legs, which are attached to the wall back, as well as the shelves and window sill tables. They can be equipped retractable partwhere you can easily hide writing accessories and even a laptop.
Pay attention to the design of this wonderful living room. At first glance and do not understand that the photo is a living room with a workplace. The hostess just hid his low desktop of glass beyond the sofa back. From side entrance door The work area in this bright living room is practically not visible.
Play with color
For the design of the working area traditionally use calm neutral colors: white, light gray, beige. Popular light light green and shades of blue are also popular. It is believed that they contribute to the concentration of attention.
Total bright red, deep purple and other intense colors lead to rapid overwork, but they are good as small accents. Chair and a couple of such accessories in the working area will make the design of the room more alive. The main thing is that these color spots find a response in the overall palette of the living room.
Today, the living room has changed its original purpose and from the guest room has turned into a cozy place to relax. IN lately many have to work at home, so proper zoning Rooms you can allocate in the living room place under the office. To create a workplace should not be fully redeveloped, it is enough to use partitions for zoning, two-level floors or original color solutions. The living room should not become an office, so it is worth the creation of a work point in it with all seriousness.
Choose an optimal place in the living room for the working area.
First, answer the question: how much in the living room should be equipped with a room under the office. Everything is quite simple. IN ordinary apartment Not so much free space, so it is difficult to highlight a separate room under the office. In the bedroom, designers are not recommended to design a working area, since this room should be quiet cozy placeHolidays. The key of the keys, computer light and rustle papers do not quite fit into the functional definition of the bedroom.
