Corner room decorating ideas

IN THE BEDROOM

Headboard in front of the window
A scenario that most owners of corner bedrooms lean towards. Everything is obvious: the headboard, which is adjacent to a blank wall, is a familiar and psychologically comfortable solution. And it’s more pleasant to wake up if you have a habit of getting up early: open your eyes - and on the contrary, the sun is already shining with might and main.

There are also disadvantages: if the bedroom is small, there will be nowhere to put a wardrobe - the only wall without a window and a doorway is occupied by a headboard. Those who do not classify themselves as larks will have a hard time in the morning: the curtains will need to be selected from real blackout fabric. And textiles with 100% blackout, as practice shows, are still worth looking for: in most salons, under the guise of a blackout, they simply sell dense fabrics. nine0003

Suite no. Seven

Bedroom with two windows and a TV
If the headboard is located opposite the window, this does not mean that you have to sacrifice the TV. Many hang it in a corner, on a swivel bracket, but there are other ways. The photo shows the design of a bedroom with two windows, where this problem was solved in a very simple way: a TV screen was installed against the background of the window, and the glazing was supplemented with a translucent roller curtain.

Headboard opposite the window - in a large room
If the area of ​​the bedroom with two windows allows, a low partition can be built under the headboard. So the bed will be closer to the windows (customers often ask designers for this if there is something to see outside the window), and behind the headboard there will be a place for passage or a lounge area.

Wardrobe behind the headboard
An interesting idea from Domestic Studio: a glass wardrobe was built behind the headboard, and one of the windows of the room turned out to be on its territory. nine0003

Sideways to the light front
"Drive" the bed into a corner - an idea for an amateur: it is more difficult to tuck underwear, and if the bed has a footboard, then one of the spouses will have to constantly climb over the other. But sometimes this is the only way to manage a small area: to fit both the bed and the storage systems. In the photo - the design of a bedroom with corner windows in a small apartment.

In the previous example, the windows are located high above the floor - the headboard passes freely. But what if the windows are panoramic? Sometimes you can "go" to the plane of the window, as in the project in the photo from the studio of Nika Vorotyntseva. The fact is that between the border of the bathroom and the window there was a small wall; if the headboard were centered on the wall, there would be no passage on one side of the bed.

Bed at the foot of the window
Another unusual idea for a bedroom with two windows: the bed was moved to the window, but not at the head, but at the foot. All in order to leave space under the closet.

Hanging the curtains at an angle, as in the photo, you get the effect of a continuous window - instead of two windows that are separated by a wall junction. nine0003

Close by
Due to the fact that the tulle stretches from wall to wall, and not along the edges of the window, the room creates an enveloping feeling of a cocoon.

Two in one
In the design of a bedroom with two windows, two types of canvases are often combined: dense ones for protection from the intense morning sun and translucent rolls for light shading. Choose fabrics of different density, but with a similar geometric pattern - the result will be more interesting and richer than with plain fabrics. nine0003

We design wineries, spas, hotels, restaurants

Curtains-sails
For the window opposite the bed, both light textiles and solid blackout curtains were provided. But with the side window, they decided to play pranks - it turned out to be an unusual, light sail.

If the windows are of different sizes and the walls are decorated with different materials, the curtains can be matched to match the walls: bright for the accent and light for the background.

Maria Afonina

Extra wide roller blind
If one of the windows is very large, the question arises: to decorate it with a single sheet or different ones? There is not one answer here. If you attach several canvases, there is a risk that they will look sloppy - you will have to carefully fix all the elements at the same height each time.

The design of the corner bedroom looks like an apartment on the Mediterranean coast. nine0003

bed - in the angle
The functionality of these rooms is different, but the set of furniture is usually the same. A sofa bed or a folding sofa, a desk, a wardrobe - and something from this set, most likely, will have to be put in a corner. Unlike a double bed, there is a place for one.

Table by the windows
The table also fits perfectly into the corner, in the project in the photo it also covers the radiators. In case the sun is too bright, it would be good to provide Roman or roller blinds.

Workplace in the center
Instead of pressing the table against the wall or corner, you can allocate a central place for it, as in the TS Design project. And the review is good, and there are thoughts where to roam. nine0003

Line Arrangement
Proven scenario for small rectangular rooms. It is textiles that set the tone for this space: green shades, stripes on the curtains, a cage - it is easy to assume that this room belongs to a teenage boy.

Interior of a corner living room with two windows: room layout features 0 Comments

The living room in a house or apartment is the most visited place. Here the family rests, receives guests, often works, teaches lessons, and engages in their favorite hobby. The corner living room with two windows has its own design and layout features. These features allow you to create an original and cozy interior, you just need to use them correctly when developing a room design. nine0003

Options for the shape and placement of windows in the corner living room

The size of the windows, their placement and the shape and dimensions of the room are the determining factors in the design of a room with two windows.

In a corner and fairly spacious room, two windows are usually placed on adjacent walls. The option with windows on one wall is not considered here, since such an arrangement of windows for a corner room is uncharacteristic.

Window sizes and arrangements: nine0003

• In the houses of Stalin's construction or buildings of the beginning of the last century, two windows of medium or small size are located on adjacent walls. The room most often has a square shape.
• In modern private houses - windows can be the same or different in shape and size, one window can be combined with an exit door to the terrace. There is a combination of a large panoramic window with a small side window or door.
• In spacious living rooms in apartments in modern houses built at the end of the 20th century - beginning of the 21st century, windows can be of standard or increased height, and may include access to the loggia. nine0271
• In the corner living rooms in standard five- and nine-story buildings there is a large window or a balcony block at the end of a rectangular room and a smaller window or a door to a loggia on a long wall opposite the entrance.
• In luxury housing and spacious cottages, there are very large windows or glazed walls on one or two sides.

The option with two windows on different walls is practically never found in small old private houses or when combining rooms in old high-rise buildings into a studio (there are usually more windows). nine0003

Pros and cons of a living room with two windows

The presence of windows on two walls in the room has its advantages and disadvantages in finishing, styling and placing furniture.

Advantages of a room with windows located on different walls:

• The flow of light from both sides illuminates the room well, which makes it possible to use bright and dark colors, dark-colored furniture, volumetric texture of the wall surface (wood sheathing, panels, bricks, tiles, decorative plaster) without restrictions. nine0271
• In a bright room, a person feels more comfortable.
• Non-standard placement of windows makes the design of the room more original.
• A room with two light sources is easier to divide into functional areas.
• The landscape outside the window is a good distracting and relaxing object, the contemplation of the landscape allows you to relax and fully relax. Often people are more interested in looking even at ordinary neighboring houses or the sky than at a wall with a TV. nine0271
• Windows, especially large ones, visually increase the size of the room.

A room with windows on different walls has its drawbacks:

• Through several windows with infrared radiation, a lot of heat escapes in winter. To reduce heat loss, it is necessary to take measures: close the windows with thick curtains, roller shutters, blinds. In a private house with large or panoramic windows, it is necessary to take into account heat loss, increase the power of radiators in the living room. nine0271
• In summer, a living room with several windows receives more excess heat, so a more powerful air conditioner should be installed.
• If the living room is small, then the presence of two walls with windows limits the possibility of arranging tall cabinets, showcases and slides.

Corner living room zoning

Functional areas of a typical living room:

• Lounge area with sofas, armchairs, low table. nine0271
• In old houses, living rooms usually have a dining area - a table with chairs. In new high-rise buildings, the dining table is more often placed in the kitchen. In private houses, the table and chairs are usually located in the living room, but sometimes there are also separate dining rooms.
• Usually, cabinet furniture is placed in living rooms - bookcases, slides with formal dishes, showcases with collections.
• Often in the living room you have to place a workplace - a desk or computer desk, a sewing machine. nine0271
• Piano, grand piano or electronic musical instruments.
• Corner with children's toys.

Corner living rooms, which have two windows on different walls, almost never include a functional kitchen area.

It is very convenient to divide long rectangular rooms into functional zones. Almost automatically, a long room splits into a dining or work area at one window and a seating area closer to another window. nine0003

Spacious square living rooms are also quite easily divided into functional areas. But in compact living rooms in stalinkas with a maximum size of 4x4 m, zoning is quite difficult: there is nowhere to put cabinet furniture, it is also impossible to fully highlight the dining area with a table and chairs.

In modern cottages, living rooms most often have a complex shape, zoning into recreation areas and dining in them is done at the design stage of the house. nine0003

In spacious living rooms, you can emphasize the selection of individual zones by the color and texture of the walls (wallpaper and painting the walls in different colors, a combination of plaster and a smooth surface, loft-style decoration, paneling). In all living rooms, separate zones can be distinguished with carpet, lighting, multi-level ceiling and ceiling lighting.

Dividing the living room into small sections using shelving to the ceiling or tall cabinets is not worth it: the division visually reduces the room, and the spacious room looks chic and more interesting. Clutter on the computer desk or laid out details of the future dress will not add coziness to the living room. Therefore, you can partially cover the worktop of the desktop or a place with an open sewing machine with a low rack or cabinet. nine0003




Furniture selection and placement

The living room in our life plays the role of a unifying recreation area for the whole family. Guests in our accommodation are not very often. Therefore, the main functional area of ​​​​the living room is designed for relaxation, with comfortable sofas and armchairs. Places on upholstered furniture should be enough for at least all family members.

Now it has become fashionable to install sofas at a distance from the wall. This method of installation is convenient in wide and spacious modern living rooms, but is not at all suitable for narrow rooms in five- and nine-story buildings and small rooms in stalinkas. In small rooms, it is better to install upholstered furniture close to the wall and so that people on the sofa can see one of the windows. nine0003

Near armchairs and sofas, it is desirable to install a low table or cabinet. Too low a table is inconvenient - after all, books and magazines will lie on it or there will be coffee.

If possible, it is desirable to install a workplace near the window. It is not necessary to place the computer by the window. If there is no workplace, it is better to put a dining table with chairs by the window.

Cabinet furniture can be installed anywhere near the wall. In a square room with a symmetrical arrangement of windows, you should not put tall cabinets in the corner between the windows. An exception is corner cabinets or triangular-shaped shelving. In square small living rooms there is practically no space for installing cabinets. nine0003

Now there is a tendency to free the living room from cabinet furniture as much as possible. In this case, you need to put low cabinets on which vases, clocks, figurines, flowers, and sometimes a TV are installed.




Errors in the design and arrangement of furniture

If the living room does not have a kitchen area or a large height difference in different parts of the room, you should not use arches for zoning. The use of podiums is undesirable: it is easy to stumble on a step, and raising the working or dining area is an unnecessary drawing of attention to these areas. It is better to dream up and play with a multi-level ceiling, its design and lighting. nine0003

It is undesirable to divide a small room (up to 20 sq. M) using different wall and floor finishes. Such zoning visually makes the room much smaller. The connection of two types of flooring will sooner or later lead to the lag of the floor coverings at the junction. The exception is the kitchen area, in which a practical wall covering near the sink, stove and desktop is a must.

A very serious mistake is the placement of sofas and armchairs so that the space outside the window (at least one) is not visible. A lot of designers place corner sofas "facing" the entrance or wall with a TV. When looking for information about furniture placement in spacious modern rooms in high-rise buildings, almost every photo shows a corner sofa, turned back to the windows on adjacent walls. With small windows on high floors, this is acceptable (although undesirable), but in a private house or on lower floors it is unacceptable. People love to watch or look at the landscape and even the neighbor's house or the clouds in the sky. Contemplation of something changeable helps to relax and unwind. In any case, the placement of upholstered furniture must be discussed with the household in advance and only then plan the arrangement of the dining table and sofas. nine0003

If the room has a fireplace or an aquarium, it is necessary to find a compromise placement option for upholstered furniture - so that you can see the windows, the fireplace, and the aquarium (and your favorite friend - the TV).




Living room style options with two windows on two walls

Spacious and small living rooms are very different in terms of interior design options. The style is largely dictated by the size and shape of the living room and the size of the windows. nine0003

In small rooms in stalinkas and houses built in the 60-80s of the last century, it is difficult to implement loft, country, Russian village style, palace styles, classic modern. They are more appropriate styles of classic, modern (modern), Scandinavian, high-tech.

In a spacious living room in an apartment, Provence, country, Russian rustic style are not very appropriate. On the other hand, classics and modern modern fit perfectly into the interiors of modern high-rise buildings. nine0003

The spacious living room in the cottage can be decorated in almost any style. Here, as nowhere else, Provence, loft, luxurious classics, and a rough rustic style will be appropriate.

Luxurious palace styles, classics and classic modern do not go well with the minimalism of modern cuisine, so classics, baroque, modern with expensive furniture, forging, inlays, gilding and expensive jewelry are usually not used in living-studios.

In small rooms with two windows, there is little room against the walls for arranging cabinets. All traditional styles use interesting stylish cabinets, cabinets and chests of drawers. If there is no place for a single arrangement of original cabinets, it is quite difficult to decorate a small living room in the styles of classic, modern, baroque, provence, country. nine0003

Small rooms are best decorated in a modern, Scandinavian, high-tech style. You can decorate the accent wall in the loft style.

The modern style is characterized by simple, strict forms of furniture, the absence of gilding and inlays, draperies, glossy facades, and quite rich upholstery of sofas and armchairs. Scandinavian style - white walls, white wooden furniture, blue and gray fabrics in the decoration, interspersed with red flowers. Hi-tech - light walls, furniture with shiny nickel-plated legs and details, gray chipboard and MDF surfaces, glass shelves and countertops. nine0003

The classic style is characterized by expensive wooden furniture, classic sofas and armchairs with wooden legs, parquet floors, rich draperies on the windows, stucco, gilding, inlays, crystal chandeliers and wall lamps. Classic modern in its modern interpretation is similar to the classic, but it is characterized by less pomp, fewer decorative details, the use of forging, smooth lines in the contours of furniture, the use of floral and floral ornaments. nine0003

Provence is characterized by the use of pastel colors, white wooden furniture, floral textiles, frills, pillows, napkins. Country and rustic style - rough wooden furniture, homespun rugs and textiles, all kinds of shops, supplies, open shelves.

Loft in your home - brick walls (bleached and natural), copper pipes and radiators, exposed beams and ventilation pipes on the ceiling, metal lamps, simple furniture, roller blinds or blinds, metal legs, racks and pieces of furniture. Brick often trim one of the walls. In multi-storey buildings, whitewashed brick is more often used in the living room. nine0003




Color choice

Two windows on different sides let in a lot of light into the living room. Therefore, in the interior of a corner living room with two windows, you can use both rich and dark colors. Only in small rooms in stalinkas is it preferable to use not very dark tones (but not necessary).

Modern fashion involves the use of rich and unusual colors to decorate the living room. Such a number of green, turquoise, blue, brown, terracotta, purple and black colors have never been used in the design of rooms. The most relevant colors are purple, coffee, lemon. The decoration of a part of the accent wall is very popular in a very bright color - coral, red, orange, raspberry. The trend is the use of dark glossy stretch ceilings of a very complex multi-tiered shape and with a variety of lighting. nine0003

If the walls of the living room have a rich color, it is advisable to choose light colors for cabinet furniture, it is also advisable to choose light colors for upholstered furniture and textiles.

If the living room is decorated in traditional pastel colors, furniture and textiles should have more saturated shades: a monochrome room looks uninteresting.

It is advisable to use bright decorative elements - pillows, vases, paintings, lamps.

Window decoration

Windows are decorated in the same style: the same draperies, blinds, Roman blinds. If the windows are located very close to the adjacent corner, then you do not need to decorate the corner. If there are small sections of the wall in the corner, you need to install cabinets or a stand, a vase, a sculpture, a fountain, a large flower, an aquarium or a TV. A good decoration is a fireplace.

In five-story buildings, there is a large wall between two windows - it is decorated like an ordinary wall, furniture is put up, a TV is hung up. Usually this wall is an accent wall. nine0003




Decoration and lighting

Despite good daylight, in the evening and early morning the living room needs bright lighting. The higher the ceilings, the longer and more interesting chandeliers and lamps you can hang. Near the sofa and armchairs, dining and desktop, paintings, art objects, local lighting is necessary - sconces, floor lamps, lamps. The illumination of individual zones mounted in a stretch ceiling looks great.

Curtains, blinds or shutters are selected in accordance with the overall style of the living room. The general principles are followed: nine0003

• windows should be decorated in the same way;
• the smaller the room, the more compact the curtains or draperies should be.
