Previously, the living room was used mainly for receiving guests. It was rarely used for the rest of the family itself or for the workplace.

But now the situation has changed radically.

People of our time strive to maximize the productivity of their work with the help of the comfort that a personal account provides.

But what if you do not want to look for a separate room for your workplace?

An excellent choice is the allocation of a working area in the living room. To do this, it will not be necessary to completely change the repair or layout of the living room. It is enough to use certain types of partitions.

But you should understand that creating a small office in your living room is not an easy task. With your actions, you can easily break the fine line of comfort in your home.

To avoid this, you need to approach the matter with all responsibility.

Choosing the best place in the living room to organize the work area

It is worth understanding why the choice falls on the living room. In an ordinary modern apartment, there is quite a bit of space for organizing a working area, and your bedroom will not contribute to comfortable activities and increased efficiency.

Now we realized that the living room is the best option. But how to arrange the furniture and where to base the small workspace itself?

Most the best place located near the window. And if you have a balcony, then combining it with a workplace is a very good solution.

If you have a working area near the window, then there will be no problems with natural light.

But it should be understood that in the dark or in the bright light of the sun, it will be difficult to work.

You need to take care of lighting with a table lamp or other bright light sources.

If you want to separate the work area from the rest of the living room, then use special partitions. They are fairly easy to find in hardware stores.

And if not, then arrange your chair and table so that you are not distracted by the TV or other external factors.

Of course, the amount of space allocated for the working space is purely individual, but it is recommended not to use more than a third of the living room space. Otherwise, you risk turning the entire living room into a study.

The choice of furniture for organizing the working space in the living room

To highlight your workplace among other areas in the living room, you should choose the right furniture.

It should be compact and meet your personal requirements, which depend on your type of activity.

Do not forget about the mobility of furniture.

It should be quickly assembled and disassembled, because if you need to free up space in the living room, then large and voluminous interior items will interfere with you.

Here sample list furniture that can be supplied:

Desktop. Do not choose too large or small table. It should be easy to understand. If you need to put a computer on it, then choose special types of such tables.

Bedside table. It will help you organize your documentation and hide unnecessary things from view.

Soft and comfortable chair. You should not choose an ordinary chair, as it is unlikely to fit into the interior of your workplace.

Let's summarize a little

A small working space in the living room is a great choice for more apartments, because it is almost impossible to allocate space in other rooms.

But if you decide to organize such a “mini” office for yourself, then think over its layout in advance: will you separate this area with a partition or limit yourself to setting up furniture? Choose the right furniture.

Then do what you want to do. Now you will have a luxurious workplace that will increase your productivity without compromising the comfort of your home.

Photo ideas on how to zoning a living room with an office


Dividing the living room into zones is a very common technique that people resort to even unconsciously. For example, they separate a corner with a TV from the rest of the room by placing an armchair or a sofa in the form of a kind of barrier.

Zoning both large rooms and small ones. In addition to the TV corner, you can separate the desktop, thereby turning part of the living room into an office. And you can make a bedroom in the living room. Installing a bed in it and separating it. Even under the children's rooms they manage to allocate part of the living room

In the example given with an armchair or sofa, the easiest way to zoning is described. But there are many more ways to make the living room more functional by highlighting 1-2 zones in it (doing more, not recommended). Eat design solutions, which are much more interesting than just fenced off with furniture.

As already mentioned, you can separate a certain area from the common space of the living room in a variety of ways. Let's look at a few examples.

Combining the living room and kitchen

Studio apartments have become fashionable for a long time among young people who have not yet created a family or among young couples who do not yet have children. The studio has its advantages, especially if friends often come to visit. And the room becomes much more spacious.

Therefore, even if the apartment is ordinary, that is, the kitchen is located behind the wall, this wall is demolished to combine the two rooms.

Advice: The most common way to separate the kitchen from the living room is the bar counter. It separates the area and serves as additional cabinets, which is not out of place for both a small living room and a kitchen.

Alternatively, you can use different levels of the floor and ceiling or their different colors. They also make different lighting for the kitchen and for the living room.

Combination of living room and bedroom

This method is resorted to when the apartment is two-room and there are children. Parents give them one room, and they themselves move into the living room.

In this case, there are certain rules:

  • the bed is set far from front door parts of the room, closer to the window;
  • it can be separated by ordinary curtains or screens ( a budget option) or partitions (more expensive).

In the event that a part of the room is allocated for the bedroom, then curtains, screens or partitions should not reach the ceiling so that it is not dark in the rest of the living room. I must say that this is not the best option, so the bed is most often installed in the corner.

And they are already enclosing a corner, and not part of the room. Glass look great sliding partitions. Glass may be frosted. The option is good, but you have to spend money on the manufacture of such partitions.

Advice: Can be used for separation and shelving with shelves. They look great and let in light.

Another option is to ditch the big bed and use folding sofa. It all depends on good choice such a sofa. It must be of good quality, because it will have to be laid out every day, and the mechanism must withstand the load.

Allocation of the working area

If there is a need for a study, but there is no separate room for this, then a table is installed in the living room and separated with a rack. Today, when most people work using a laptop, there is no need to have a large desk. For the office, they are limited to buying a small table and comfortable chair. Provide various racks for working papers and curbstones.

If you decide to make an office, then you must definitely provide for separate lighting. It's better if it's good desk lamp sufficient brightness. You can work without disturbing the rest of the family.

Allocation of the dining area

It is very convenient to eat not in the kitchen, but in the living room. Yes, and it is convenient to receive guests. Perfect option- the combination of the living room and the loggia. They demolish the wall and arrange on the loggia dining area. This is very convenient, because the room is increasing in size.

If there is no loggia, then it all depends on the size of the living room. If it is small, then it is unlikely that it would be appropriate to install a large dining table in it. It is better to use folding furniture, laying out the table when guests arrive.

You can separate such a zone with a rack with indoor plants. Good lighting should be provided. Depending on the chosen design style, these can be sconces, or swivel lamps mounted on the walls and aimed at the table.

Arrangement of a children's room

Perhaps the most difficult option. But if you decide to take part of the living room for a children's room, provide everything you need to make the kids feel comfortable. If there are two children, then a bunk bed is installed. On the second tier, a fence is necessarily made so that the child does not fall during sleep. It is best to order such a product in a furniture workshop.

It is best to separate the nursery area with a rack on which children can store their toys. And be sure to provide separate light sources for this zone.

Zoning methods

The main zones are described, under which a part of the living room is allocated. To sum up, one can describe various options separation of the described zones. And you already choose exactly what is most suitable for your living room.

Options:


As you can see, there are plenty of options. It remains only to choose the one that you like best. But it is recommended to zone the living room, regardless of its size and how many rooms you have in your apartment. At least provide a seating area. Without this, the interior of the room loses.

Western traditions are considered the main fashion trends, and one of the most popular is the zoning of the living room. This method of arranging apartments has been used for several years, they mainly combine the design of the hall and kitchen, which is especially important in a small one-room apartment. Thus, you can significantly increase the square, expand the space, as well as refresh the room and make it more fashionable.

A living room with separate areas is more spacious and multifunctional, which is especially important for many people living in small living spaces. You can divide the interior of the hall in a variety of ways and either make several places in one room for a specific purpose or redevelop it, which is more costly but no less effective.

Zoning benefits:

  1. A living room combined with a bedroom is an option for those who live in a one-room apartment or for large families.
  2. The hall combined with the kitchen is a redevelopment or, in other words, the combination of two rooms into one.
  3. The living rooms combined with the dining room look very modern, but this will require a lot of space.
  4. The combination of a living room and an office is a kind of zoning of space, in which there is a place for solving important matters and for relaxing at the same time.
  5. You can often find children's living rooms in which there is a corner for children, for example, a table with chairs, a rug on which there are toys and similar accessories. If the children are small, then play area equipped with a playpen or low screens so that the kids remain safe.

Soft seating area

Any living room should have a soft zone, which will be the central place of relaxation, bliss and enjoyment.

The main part of it is:

  • Sofa;
  • TV;
  • Coffee table.

To make this space attractive and cozy at the same time, it is worth placing the TV at eye level and approximately 4 meters away, but depending on the scale of the screen. The soft zone of the room can be very different, and to be more precise, the sofas are both cabinet and modular. Their choice depends solely on personal preferences, as well as on the estimated budget.

The most important thing is that there is no clutter, otherwise all the forces for arranging the interior will go down the drain.

If you place the sofa along the longest wall of the room, then the room will visually decrease. And if you put it at the end of the room, then expand. If the space of the room does not allow placing a table there, then it is better to refuse it and give preference to a sofa with a corner cabinet.

Ideas for dividing the hall

The style of a divided living room can be very different, but the most important thing is to choose the right zoning method so that the room does not narrow and remains stylish and creative.

Ways:

  1. Dividing a space with color is very interesting, and it's the easiest way to keep the space functional without having partitions, walls, or screens. Colors can be both contrasting and shades of the same tone. The choice depends only on personal preferences. Combinations such as gray and beige, yellow and orange or blue and green will look very interesting.
  2. The division of the room can be carried out by means of different wall coverings. Today, the choice of finishing materials is very large, which means you just have to decide on its type, color and the desired volume. This also includes a choice of different flooring. For example, for the living room kitchen, you can choose tile and parquet board.
  3. A room divided into zones by light will look original, bright and cozy. It will be interesting to look at the combination of the central chandelier, spotlights, sconces and floor lamps. Each zone should have its own light source, but in general, the emphasis should be on natural light and open windows as much as possible. Modern market electricians offers a huge selection of not just lighting fixtures but with remote control.

Living room zoning

It is much easier to make the selection of zones in a large room, because the space allows you not to limit your capabilities. Most designers prefer to create podiums indoors, which will house an office, mini-dining room or kitchen.

In order for the formed composition to meet the expectations, it should be pre-designed so that you can see the flaws at the planning stage and eliminate them.

However, podiums and multi-level ceilings have their own advantages, which are also worth paying attention to:

  1. Podiums or multi-level floors are excellent options for visually separating spaces without losing the square footage that is considered precious in every living space. It is worth noting that there is some difference between a multi-level floor and a podium. Namely, the first structure rises from the main floor covering a few centimeters and is a kind of wide step. Podiums are unique in that they are used as additional storage compartments for things, tools or toys.
  2. Multi-level ceiling coverings- this is an unusual, but beloved by many option for decorating and dividing a room into parts, but on condition that they are located in a room with high ceilings. This point should not be overlooked, since already low ceiling tiles will create a pressure effect, as well as cause discomfort due to constant contact with them. If space permits, it is possible to mount two and three-level ceiling coverings, moreover, with different colors and shades. Correct selection tones will allow you to divide the room into zones and, moreover, each of them will be bright and fashionable.

Living room interior: separation of zones

Ideas for dividing a narrow or wide room, whether it is a walk-through, combined or adjacent, can be the most incredible and sometimes you don’t need to spend too much or build walls, columns or screens for this.

Ideas:

  1. A room can have a zonal division through the most common and well-known sofa. The size of the furniture does not matter, as it can be both compact and large. Be sure to follow the rules for maintaining a distance between interior items up to at least 80 cm. To make the room really stylish and modern, it is advisable to give preference to models with leather upholstery, as it is easy to care for and it can last a long time. The peculiarity of this arrangement of the sofa is that you can simultaneously watch TV and cook food if it is a living room-kitchen or do business and watch the children.
  2. If you are creating a room in which there is an arrangement of several zones and your room is made in high-tech or modern style, then it would be optimal to install a bar counter. High chairs with chrome legs, an original holder for wine glasses and the formation of an ultra-fashionable interior around are perfect for the youth style of the living room.
  3. Shelves do not go back to the last century and remain fashionable even now, if you choose unusual designs that can not block the room, but keep it spacious, airy, but visually divided into two halves. If there are those in the house who prefer fresh flowers, then placing them on the shelves will only enliven the hall.
  4. For connoisseurs of the exotic, it is worth offering a pedestal with an aquarium, which will visually expand the space of the room.

Living room zoning methods (video)

Regardless of which systems for dividing a room into zones will be implemented, it is worth choosing the best ones according to your own taste, but also do not forget about the recommendations of designers.

The reception area is the face of your home. Its interior is very important, because it represents for the first time people who appeared in these walls how you live. However, often in modern world we can not allocate a whole room for the living room. It often turns out differently, and in one room several functional zones are forced to crowd at once.

Such a neighborhood can be inconvenient. On the other hand, it can also become an incentive to create a truly interesting and original design living room with zoning. To do this, you just need to wisely approach the combination different functions in a single space.

Design techniques for distinguishing between different zones

Eat different ways visually divide the space so that its parts are independent of each other, but at the same time continue to work as a whole. The most banal of them is the installation of a decorative partition or its analogues - screens and curtains.





If you look at the solutions of professional decorators, another ingenious method is often found in the photo of living room zoning. Some pieces of furniture are appropriate to use as a kind of separators. For example, a wardrobe, a sofa, a bar counter, a table can act as such a delimiting element.

And, finally, zoning is perfectly carried out without any barriers at the physical level, exclusively by means of contrasting finishes and lighting. Artistic solutions based on these techniques are often very expressive.

The use of decorative partitions and their analogues

Such a partition can be as neutral as possible, only performing its main function of separating one part of the room from another. In this case, it is permissible to use a sheet of drywall, a simple screen or curtain.

The main requirements for a separating object in such a situation will be uniformity, matching its color and texture with other surfaces in the room.



However, modern interior designers are not afraid to experiment with bright, unusual, eye-catching elements.

A decorative partition can not only divide, but also serve as a decoration for the hall, act as a visual accent, set the tone. In this case, it is permissible to use stained-glass windows, light openwork partitions, walls made of bamboo stalks and much more.

It is now popular to include floral and floral ornaments in the artistic solution of the interior of the living room. However, for some styles, complex geometric patterns are better suited.

Furniture as a tool for zoning a room

As mentioned above, a sofa, a table, a wardrobe with open shelves, a bar counter can be used as such. This option for zoning the living room is good for its practicality.

The object, which is necessary in terms of a decorative design solution, will also be actively used during the operation of the premises. Things will be stored in the closet. Sit on the sofa. And so on.





Separation of space with contrasting finishes

This technique involves the use of different functions for different functions. facing materials. So you can highlight some of the areas of the hall, while others, on the contrary, make it more neutral. Use expensive damage-resistant coatings exactly where needed.

The reception area is often highlighted with bright colors. There it is also appropriate to use more active textures, such as wood or stone. Kitchen and bedroom, on the contrary, it is better to veneer with light solid colors.

Organization of lighting as a way to delimit space

Of course, each part of the room should have an independent group of lamps. It is irrational to illuminate the space above the bed if you are spending time with friends. It is unnecessary to turn on the light above the soft corner when you are busy cooking. And so on. In any case, lamps will work to visually distinguish between different parts of the room.

However, this effect can be enhanced by using lighting of dissimilar intensity and warmth in different functional areas. Or arrange the lamps so that they visually display the border. For example, a stripe LED backlight, circling the ceiling above the area that you want to highlight as an independent one, clearly and unambiguously outlines its contours.

What is appropriate to combine the guest area

Most often there is a zoning of a room into a bedroom and a living room. A little less often, the latter is connected to the kitchen or dining room, or both at once. It is these options that should be considered as the most preferable.





Basic rules for zoning the living room and bedroom

In a situation where you are trying to harmoniously combine these two functions in a room, it is better not to use a contrasting finish. It most likely will not be enough for a successful separation of zones. Because one of them is characterized as active, and the second belongs to complete peace and tranquility. They interfere with each other. It is worth separating them at the physical level.

Partitions, curtains, cabinets with open shelves are just perfect here. Something real that you can touch with your hands. And a single style of decoration, on the contrary, will connect the room in this case, preventing it from disintegrating into components.

Neighborhood of a place for receiving guests and a kitchen

This combination plays out very differently. The only condition is that the front space in this case should be more active than the place for eating. For zoning the living room and kitchen, you can use different techniques.

But in any case, the kitchen requires a floor and wall surface that is easy to clean, resistant to temperature changes and moisture. And the living room goes well with carpets, wood, wallpaper. What's good for a cooking area isn't great for a guest space. And vice versa.




Contrasting cladding can also be combined with other methods of dividing the room. She works great with decorative partitions or furniture. Very often, a bar counter is used as a delimiting element.

Combination of living room and dining room

These two features work great together. Their connection within the same room is not only harmonious from a visual point of view, but also convenient. Both zones are needed for a group of people to spend time together.

From a design point of view, a certain freedom is allowed in the connection of these two spaces. You can use any of the methods listed above to differentiate them - or even several of them together.

Of course, there are more exotic combinations of functions. For example, connecting a guest area with a library or a bar. And in today's popular studio apartments, all functions coexist in a common space - sometimes very harmoniously.
