Watch Now: 6 Tips for Choosing the Right Carpet Color
Room design - the best photos of room interiors If the corridor (entrance hall), bathroom and kitchen are rather “auxiliary” rooms, then the bedroom or living room are the main ones. After all, it is in them that most of the time is spent (not counting the labor hours of each housewife in the kitchen). When planning the design of a bedroom, I want to take into account many points at once, sometimes contradictory. How to do this, we will try to tell in this article. The first chapter will touch upon the design features of each room of the house (apartment), the rest of the chapters will be devoted specifically to living rooms.

Room design depending on its purpose
Living room
This is the case when you can talk about the scope of fantasy. After all, usually this is the largest room in the apartment, you can make many of your desires come true. But, if we talk about a certain standard, then the advice is this: choose a classic style or a modern style.
He will not “get bored” for a long time, will not annoy with obsessive elements of more daring styles (just imagine a loft-style living room for a minute - how long will it please you?). You need to build on the meaning of the name of the room - living room. This is the heart of the house, this is where you, for example, take guests.
Bedroom
The first and most important rule is to focus on the gender, character and passions (hobbies) of the owner. It is unlikely that the personal room of an athlete guy will be similar in design to the bedroom of a woman leading a secular lifestyle.
Compliance with the tenant is the main criterion for choosing a room design.
Read more about bedroom design and how to make it yourself.
Kitchen
There are many points that influence the choice of the design of this room. The most important of them:
- Size
- Number of households
- Purpose (whether it is a kitchen or a kitchen-living room)
Also, of course, style preferences of the person who spends the most time in the kitchen are important.
After all, the kitchen is a work shop. It should be both comfortable and pleasing to the eye, first of all, to those who work there daily.
Read more about how to design your own kitchen here.
Bathroom
First of all it depends on the size. If the bathroom is very small, the competent arrangement of the elements necessary in it comes to the fore. Make the most of every square centimeter. You may have to abandon the installation of a washing machine in the bathroom (you can put it in the kitchen) and order (buy) a tall narrow cabinet. He will not "eat" square meters of the floor, but will contain everything you need.
Children's
It is clear that the tastes of an adult and a child can vary greatly. And what parents think is the most suitable option may not please their child at all. Therefore, first try to find out what kind of room the child himself sees. Discuss the general idea and details, sketch out the project.
In addition, the design of the children's room is influenced by the size, age of the child, lighting.

Corridor (entrance hall)
The most important landmark is the size. It is from him that what design you can afford to embody in this room is curled. If this is a modest few meters, then first of all you will have to choose from the most necessary (wardrobe, key holder, shelf for hats). The overall design of such a corridor should be simple and unobtrusive. It is better to give up colorful wallpaper and open shelves - this will “clutter up” the room. It is also worth considering good lighting. A good lighting solution will help to "push" the walls or visually raise the ceiling.
A large hallway (entrance hall) gives more room for design planning. In addition to the most necessary, you can afford additional elements of comfort and decor of the room (a sofa at the entrance, a large floor vase).
Choosing a style
So, the fundamental question is the choice of style for the living room.
Let's look at some of the most common options.
Modern
Undoubtedly, this style, like no other, will look relevant and modern (corresponding to the name). So that the view of the room is not tired, you can use some tricks. For example, to focus on those interior details that are easy to replace if desired (curtains, a chandelier, paintings on the walls, various decorative trifles). By removing something and adding a new “zest”, you can easily give the room a new mood without resorting to global changes.
Classic
The style suits those who love solidity and timeless designs. That's the beauty of the classic - it is always appropriate.
When choosing a classic style for a bedroom or living room, remember - the classic does not tolerate cheapness! Everything, from furniture to the most inconspicuous part of the interior, should “breathe” with solidity.
Hi-tech
An excellent option for lovers of minimalism in the interior.
Clear lines, strict functionality of objects, a free atmosphere in the room, clear colors - this is what you need to focus on when choosing a high-tech style.
Remember that this style is good for those who really like it. Choosing it for the design of a bedroom or living room as an experiment, you run the risk of quickly getting tired of the unusual look of the room.
Minimalism
A style somewhat similar to high-tech style. From furniture - only the necessary and functional components. The general design direction should be observed in the main elements (wallpaper, furniture, curtains), avoiding small interior details.
Design options according to the area of the room
Room 5 sq. m
The size of such a room does not allow much. It is worth refraining from a lot of pieces of furniture and leaving the most necessary, according to the purpose of the room. A bed, a small wardrobe - perhaps this will become the decoration of such a small room.
Otherwise, the bedroom will turn into a "Chinese box" filled with the things of its owner. Guided by the principle of minimalism in the design of such a room, remember - one large (but shallow) closet is better than separate shelves, etc.
Room 8-9 sq m
This size of living room is undoubtedly more comfortable. It is possible to place more necessary things. Yes, and design options can be "bolder". In a room with this size, if desired, you can place both useful pieces of furniture (a computer desk, bookshelves, bedside tables) and “minor” ones (a small aquarium, a TV on the wall, a soft pouffe or a couch).
Room 12-15 sq. m
In this case, you can choose a specific style and stick to it strictly. The size of the room will allow you to observe all the subtleties of style and embody the chosen direction in everything without saving on space.
Read our article on 12 sqm bedroom design. m. It is important not to go to extremes and patterns when decorating a personal room.
Below are the main criteria that should be followed when planning the design of the bedroom.
The bedrooms of a young girl are inherent:
- Light (most often pastel) colors
- Lightness and grace of furniture
- The abundance of decorative elements
Room of a young man usually differs:
- by some asceticism (minimalism)
- Strict "masculine" colors
- Functionality of furniture
It is clear that each person is individual. And the girl's room is not something stereotypically predictable "girly". Surely, the athlete's bedroom will be very different from the boudoir of a young student fashionista. Also with the choice of room design for a young man - there are many options. It all depends on the personal preferences and lifestyle of the owner of the room.
How to choose the right wallpaper for a room
It would seem that the wallpaper is just the background of the room in its essence.
And you need to choose them, focusing primarily on color. However, the modern assortment expands the range of criteria that you need to rely on in your choice. First of all, the purpose of the room affects. After all, wallpaper for the kitchen will be significantly different from the wallpaper in the nursery or living room! Yes, and the process of pasting the walls varies depending on the type of wallpaper chosen.
Wallpaper for the bedroom
Whatever the style of the room, wallpaper for the bedroom is better to choose neutral tones. After all, the first and most important purpose of the room is rest. It is worth starting from this, thinking through the “clothes” for the walls. When choosing wallpaper in bright, defined colors or with a very expressive pattern, think ahead. Will you get tired of this wallpaper in just a couple of months, would you like a more relaxed option? If you want bright accents, let them be photo frames, unusual vases, and other accessories. Replacing them with new ones is easier than changing the wallpaper on the walls.
If the style of the bedroom involves "expensive" decoration, you can choose seamless fabric wallpapers. By the way - they will perfectly cope with the task of additional soundproofing.
Wallpaper for the living room
Since the style for the living room is often designed in a classic way, the wallpaper for such an interior is chosen expensive, in "solemn" patterns or colors. As for the wallpaper for the living room in a different style (whether modern, high-tech or others), combines them
- Compliance with the overall design
- Correspondence with other interior elements in color
- Expensive texture
Read more about choosing wallpaper for the hall.
Curtains for the living room and bedroom: features of choice
Usually, the choice of curtains when designing a room is almost the last. Although this interior detail can carry no less stylistic load than, for example, furniture or wallpaper! Curtains are like a hallmark of a room.
They can make the room boring and inexpressive, and with a good choice, they can enliven the most concise design room.
There are rules for choosing curtains that you should always take into account so as not to be disappointed with the result.
- Curtains should be combined primarily with the color and texture of the room's textiles.
- Upholstery and curtains must be in harmony!
- Patterns of wallpaper, curtains and textiles of the room should not "interrupt" each other, creating chaos. If the wallpaper pattern is clear and pronounced, it is better to opt for curtains in one color, without a pattern.
- Use the contrast effect to correct the imperfections of the room (vertical stripes on the curtains are great for a room with low ceilings, and transverse stripes will visually expand it). Also, do not forget about the size and shape of the window (windows), the size of the room, the height of the ceiling and other features of the room.
When choosing curtains for a living room, it is important not to overdo it! Excessive pretentiousness of curtains, an abundance of details and complex cuts can do a disservice and make all other design elements look inexpressive.
Ceiling design in the room
When deciding on the design of the ceiling in the living room, you need to be guided by many criteria. An important point is the determination of the amount of financial costs. After all, the ceiling can be either “budgetary” (simple whitewashing or painting the surface), or more expensive (there are many options here).
Ceiling finishes and their features
Plasterboard ceiling lining Perhaps this is the most common ceiling design in our time. After all, it has a lot of undeniable advantages:
The ability to create complex original designs. The ceiling can become the main design decision in the design of the room!
Additional sound insulation.
Heat saving and room climate control.
Stretch ceilings One of the fastest and easiest ceiling repair options.
If you want a special, unique design, then the stretch ceiling can be combined with drywall elements.
The disadvantages include its price (most often it is much higher than other possible options).
Fabric A very specific option, used only in an individual thoughtful design of the room. Whitewash (painting) This choice is like a win-win classic. Suitable for those who are on a budget or do not want to draw too much attention to the ceiling.
Perhaps the most important plus of the option (besides its cheapness) is neutrality.

50 Original Dorm Room Decor Ideas
Visitors to the Dorm Room Interiors site are offered some DIY designs to consider.
Dormitory rooms are small in nature. The limited space makes it almost impossible to bring big ideas to life, so use small designer touches that will add personality to your home.
Below we will present some of them.
Decorating with pictures and photographs
How unusual is it to decorate walls with photographs? Take, for example, a lace used in jewelry and make a geometrically irregular holder. Use paper clips to hang photos.
If you want to create something a little different, try immersive picture frames. Usually make several of these pictures. Peel off the top half with painter's tape, and dip the bottom half in paint of the desired color.
Or you can use twine, clothesline, yarn to hang your favorite photos over the table. For fastening, use clothespins.
Instagram display. Make a grid with sticky tape and attach photos. To do this, use double-sided tape or strips of masking tape. Glue them to the corners of each photo so they stick tightly to the wall.
Other wall decorations
Instead of pictures or photographs, use a herbarium or plant drawing. Make a frame for them and hang them on the wall. Take this idea as inspiration, if you want to completely change the theme.
Another simple idea is to use clipboards. This is a neat trick that comes in handy for attaching calendars, schedules, and other things, including as a display for photos and images.
Make a typographic wall. You will need a cloth, cornstarch, water, masking tape and brushes. Choose the font you like, smooth out the fabric, cut out the letters.
Use masking tape to create a straight line on the wall. Apply cornstarch to the back of the first letter. Position the letter on the wall and press firmly. Repeat these steps for the rest of the letters.
Hang the rug on the wall. It can look really good above the bed, going behind an unsightly headboard. Carpet will also give the room a cozy and comfortable feel. This is a good way to add texture to the decor and give the bedroom a unique look.
Use colored paper, felt or cardboard to make giant confetti, colorful polka dots. Use them to decorate one of the walls in your dorm room.
Don't be afraid to mix materials and colors, pair them however you want, they look chic and cute.
Look at weebirdy for use cases.
Room decor with flowers and plants
Take a lot of cardboard cones. Make holes each on the left and right sides, thread a rubber band through them, and hang the cone on the wall anywhere you like. It will make a great place for small flowers.
Make a beautiful outdoor terrarium with plants. You will need a container, which should be in the form of a glass ball, moss, gravel, pebbles and plants.
Decorate flower pots, make them more attractive. For decor, take a ribbon and acrylic paint. Choose bright and bold colors to make the containers stand out in the overall design.
Flower vases. For them, glass beer bottles or any cans that are suitable in shape and color are suitable. When making, use a glass knife to make a clean cut, sand the edges with sandpaper so as not to cut yourself.
Creating a memo board
A memo board can be useful in a dorm room if you put the schedule of exams, tasks to complete, etc.
on it.
This is actually a type of geometric art that includes memo boards. You will need Velcro for mini fasteners, bright tape, small gold nails and a hammer.
Or set up a whiteboard for notes. You will need polystyrene foam, fabric ribbons, regular and double-sided tape, Velcro dots on the back.
Cut the board to size and decide how you want the strips to be positioned. Wrap the ends around the back of the board and secure with tape. Add Velcro dots to the corners and hang the memo board.
Light up
Create a USB powered lamp with a glass, metal or even 3D printed bottle.
Decorate it a bit with art tape or acrylic paint. And, of course, you need a USB LED cable for touch lamps. Decorate the bottle, keep it as a base, and then add a lampshade.
Add elastic band lights to your interior. They are perfect not only for Christmas and New Year.
Use string lights to create a really beautiful view on the wall behind the bed. They also serve as nightlights.
You don't have to worry about a table lamp.
Make a small table lamp with a miniature camera tripod, USB computer light, USB extension cable and mesh pencil holder.
You'll get a beautiful lamp with an industrial look and feel.
Design table accessories
Personalize your table in the room. You can draw some accessories yourself using containers of various sizes. You will need paint to change their appearance, thread for decoration, trimmings of fabric, leather, twine and other things.
Decorate the walls and floor with colorful tape
Chances are you won't be allowed to repaint the walls in your room. But that doesn't mean you can't change the look of your walls or floor.
Use colorful tape to make temporary wallpaper. Create a variety of geometric patterns using bold colors.
Knit your own pom-pom rug
A pom-pom rug will add some color, texture and wit to your room. It is relatively easy to build. You will need a lot of colorful yarn and patience.
Tie the pom poms one by one, leaving a long thread on each to join them together to create an unusual rug.
Design a jewelry holder
Use an old grater to store your jewelry. It's designed for grinding, but will hold a bracelet or two. If you decorate it, then it will take on a vintage or just a more interesting look.
Or build a jewelry stand out of wood and decorative paper or a gift bag. Small boxes on a large wooden frame will look good.
Old sewing spools and door handles can be used as hangers for beads and bracelets.
Bush jewelry stand. The whole project is extremely simple. Find a branch you like, clean it up, and paint it to make it colorful. Then attach the branch to the wall with a screw.
Comfortable chairs for you and your guests
Not enough chairs in a narrow dorm room? Don't worry, make good stools using drawers, fabric and a pillow top mattress.
You will also need some plywood. Take a glue gun to attach the fabric to the plywood - the chair cushion is ready! It remains only to place it on the top of the box.
Wouldn't a hammock chair look great in your room? Cozy and comfortable and you will never want to sit in any other chair again. Make your own hammock chair using oak dowels, woven polypropylene, canvas, and stiff elastic.
Decorate the door
The dorm room door is inconspicuous, but you can change it with colored tape. You can use the tape to give the drawing a geometrically correct shape, draw an inscription.
Put together a bedside table
Attach wheels to the nightstand so that it can be easily moved around the room. Cute and practical trolleys are sold at IKEA.
They are usually used in the kitchen, but will be useful here too, as now you have a three-tier shelf for storage.
Would you like to build your own nightstand? Foam concrete blocks will come to the rescue. It will be like playing with building blocks.
Concrete products will give you more storage space for a variety of things - a small plant, books, a glass of water, a phone, etc.
Tie or decorate the curtains yourself
If you want to create a place for a relaxing holiday, weave a curtain. In the macrame technique, they usually take a rope and a wooden crossbar. This is a simple project, you just need to understand how to place the curtain, what type of knot to take and choose a weaving pattern.
If something goes wrong, buy a ready-made curtain and decorate it. You will need fabric, glue, tape and scissors. Attach a thin tape, stick a wide one, so continue until you achieve the desired image.
Decorate your mirror frame
If you have a mirror, we'll show you how to make it glamorous. Take a simple design consisting of two
colored geometric patterns. Stick the tape around the areas, then paint the desired areas with gold.
Decorate your pillows
Do you take good care of your pillows? Do they look like they need a makeover urgently? If yes, then try to implement this idea.
Wash, dry and iron the pillows.
Take some gold paint, a champagne cork and paint polka dots on the pillowcase. Leave to dry.
Add a shoe rack
Space is always a problem in a tiny dorm room. The door will be a great option for storing shoes, just hang an organizer on it.
Another interesting solution for keeping shoes in order is simply to hang the moldings on the wall or in a closet. You can create a simple display that shows all of your shoes.
Canopy over the bed
Of course, four-poster beds really look great, but what if there is no room to move around the bed? You already have the item below to create a canopy over a bed.
Sew a hanging basket
Don't throw dirty things in an ugly trash bag, but sew a chic hanging basket. Take an embroidery hoop, fabric, twine or ribbon. The type of fabric you choose should reflect the style of the room.
Make a Charging Base
The base needs a wooden box, a piece of chipboard, a knife, paints and wood glue.
Leave a ledge for the possibility of placing a chipboard sheet.
Then drill a hole in the back of the box, make holes for the cable, then paint the box the color you want.
Increase storage space in your first aid kit
