The interior of a small living room
2
3What your style preferences are,a limited budget can cut the wings of any dream. In addition, it is unlikely to get the authentic historic interior in a small room, performing a variety of functions. But do not despair. Create the right atmosphere by resorting to eclecticism - a mixture of styles. From each era, you can take a little, only the best. For example, simplicity and functionality - from the present, charm - from the past. Romantics, dreaming of a sunny south, should pay attention to an uncomplicated, but unusually spectacular and warm interior in every sense of the word (photo1). If you are young, your life is dynamic and full of changes, a modern transforming room will suit you (photo 2). It contains everything you need for a comfortable life, but it does not require serious financial investments. The secret is in the mobility and versatility of the furniture, as well as in a well thought-out solution of the space. Solid and mature will taste the living room in the spirit of a country house. The refined simplicity of the Gustavian style is combined here with the exotic colonial seasoning (photo 3).
Moroccan mood
Those who have ever been to Morocco neverforget the azure sky, snow-white houses and the bright sun of this country. And, maybe, they will not want to part with their impressions and will decorate the living room in the Moroccan spirit. When choosing a bright color as the basis of the interior always arise doubts. Muffled tones much more familiar. But the usual - not necessarily better. After a long gray winter, you want a surge of emotions! In our living room dominates azure. This color is given a fairly large part of the room - the walls. A great addition to the bright blue will be all shades of white - furniture, textiles. Black and gray are present "as needed." This audio and video equipment and flooring. Recreating such an environment is easy. The basis of the living room is built-in furniture, custom-made. There is a sofa for rest, which essentially represents an angular podium near the window. The MDF cantilever construction, painted white, combines the functions of a closed rack, stands for TV equipment and a workplace. When working at the computer, you can use high plastic bar stools. Antique rocking chair brings to the interior the aroma of the Mediterranean. The combination of old and modern creates an eclectic, but unusually romantic and homely image.

Photo 1. The walls are covered with textured vinyl wallpaper for painting and painted with latex paint. Photo 2,3. Mobile can be almost any furniture. If you install the rack on wheels, its horizons will expand significantly. Photo 4. The shelving system is not accidentally deprived of doors. This allows you to create an easy artistic mess, simplifies access to things and, of course, makes it possible to save money. An honorable place in the interior is LCD TV. The image on the screen always remains clear because of the wide viewing angle (178 °). So you can watch a movie both sitting and lying on the bed. Photo 5. Thanks to the “Alternative” mechanism, it is easy to turn the sofa into a bed. A large laminated linen compartment can hold all the accessories you need for sleeping. The design behind the sofa not only hides the rack, but also serves as a convenient shelf. It is very decorated with lamps and small accessories.
Four in one
Great solution for a young couple: maximum functions with a small budget. Thanks to mobile, multi-functional furniture, the living room can be easily transformed into a bedroom or a dining room. The table installed on castors equally professionally copes with functions of lunch and worker. A monitor and a lamp are placed above it on a narrow, custom-made box (40 cm wide, 90 cm high). On the table there is only a keyboard and a mouse, which will allow to roll it out of the shelter at the right time and place it anywhere in the room. And his place will take the rack, which decided to use as a buffet. It is also equipped with wheels and is hidden in the box behind the sofa. It remains only to arrange the chairs - and the dining room is ready for a friendly reception or dinner for two. Stackable chairs. Stacked, they take up very little space in the corner. In the evening, you can easily turn the sofa into a bed, light candles, lie down and rest. Or get in a chair and watch a good movie for a cup of tea. And all this - in an atmosphere of joy and comfort created by the combination of Scandinavian furniture with the bright colors of pop art. The organization of space is ideal for a one-room apartment, where the problem of living in a confined space is particularly acute. Design by Dmitry Uraev
Photo 1. Shelf-console is capable, when necessary, to turn from a workplace into a bar counter, for which there is enough space for two. And if you decide to invite guests, it will completely replace the buffet table. Here, snacks and drinks will perfectly fit. Photo 2. The podium is wide enough so that if you wish you can lie down on it, watch TV or read a book. In addition, it plays the role of a storage system. Under the podium, covered with a veil, various things are hidden in baskets. Photo 3,4. Everything is ready to receive guests. Elegant wine glasses and candles create the right mood. Evening lighting is supported by a desk lamp standing on a low bookcase. Colorful pillows are scattered on the podium in artistic disarray. Photo 5. It's time to sit in a rocking chair and dream about exotic countries, looking through the thin curtain of organza at the stars. The chair is not only convenient, but also compact, which is important for a small room. Photo 6. Folding table and chairs are in case you want to sit in a small company. The rest of the time these items are hidden in the closet. The unusualness of the folding stools lies in the fact that their seats are made of coarse colored linen, decorated with lace and prints.
Comfort against the background of tradition
The items for this living room were not chosen rightto accidentally, but somehow spontaneously. Some of them seemed to have lived in the house for a long time, imbued with the spirit of several generations of the family. The designer's task was to skillfully combine rarities with a new environment. For this, a light eclecticism in the spirit of a country house was proposed. Scandinavian, classic English and colonial Asian stylings are used as ingredients in a thoughtful way. A faded olive color was chosen for the upper part of the walls. The lower part is painted white and decorated with moldings. An oak parquet board was laid on the floor. Mainly natural materials were used to create the interior: natural wood, leather, cotton, linen, woolen fabrics. The space turned out to be very gentle and warm. In such a living room it is pleasant to spend evenings with friends, over a cup of English tea. Design by Marina Shvechkova
Photo 1. The role of the table in the living room is played by a teak chest inlaid with palm and betel wood. The brown leather sofa was brought from Indonesia and also seems to be feeling quite well within these friendly walls. Photo 2. When put together, the racks form a whole “wall”. On the shelves it is convenient to keep books and little things dear to the heart - a shelving system is designed for this. Colorful decorative detail - an old mannequin. Photo 3. A soft leather sofa is a solid representative of traditional classics. Textile seat gives it a more homely look and makes it more comfortable. It is evident that they love and appreciate art. The interior is decorated with graphics and sculpture. Pictures and framed photos create a special atmosphere at home with traditions. Photo 4. Console (Patrick Robert design), “Labyrinth”. Photo 5.6. On the floor is an oriental handmade carpet. It is an old one, but you can use cheaper modern imitations. The main thing is to match the carpet in color and ornament. On the windows there are Roman curtains made of fabric with a soft floral pattern, to match the walls. The interior can be complemented with low wooden tables, trays, hookah, decorative ceramics or metal dishes in the oriental spirit, decorated with chasing.
