Panel houses today occupy the lion's shareof the entire housing stock of our long-suffering country. We managed to set up the panels in secular times so much that more than one generation of post-Soviet citizens will have to settle for this kind of housing (the Khrushchevs still begin to slowly demolish). And today they continue to build prefabricated houses, albeit with more modern layouts. And if multi-room apartments in a panel house in many ways suit their inhabitants, then one-bedroom apartments do not say this. Therefore, the layout and design of one-room apartments of panel houses are more relevant today than, for example, the interior design of a one-room apartment in Khrushchevka or the design of any multi-room apartment. And despite the fact that the panel panel is different, that the layout (as well as the area) of one-room apartments in them is different, there are general features of the design of a one-room apartment in any (old or new) panel house. Therefore, starting to develop your own design project, you need to build on common postulates. 
Sacrifice: necessary and unnecessary things
Do not be scared. The slaughter will have to send only some things and, possibly, some of their habits. But such a sacrifice is still necessary: a one-room apartment is a bedroom and a living room (at best), or even a nursery, and an office in one room. How to combine all this, so that the room eventually remained habitable, and its design turned out to be modern and stylish at the same time? You will have to make sacrifices and make a list of those things and objects that are vitally important for you, and those that you can refuse. If a studio apartment in a panel house is intended for a young family, then in this apartment it is necessary to place at least a bed for parents, a children's bed, a large closet, a washing machine, a refrigerator, a minimal set of kitchen furniture and utensils. Conditionally necessary things that can be replaced by mini-analogues or moved from room to kitchen (built-in closet, hallway, etc.): TV, computer, sports simulator, dressing table, chest of drawers. By the way, sometimes you can do without painful sacrifices, just having competently picked up roomy furniture or equipped a niche in the room. However, it is with this (the division of things into necessary and optional) you need to start the design of a one-room apartment. 
Style Selection
The stylistic decision is generally the basis of the interiordesign. However, for an apartment in a panel house, not every style of interior fits. Categorically contra-indicated for such an apartment are classic styles that are designed for spacious rooms. Yes, and where you place massive furniture, multi-layered curtains or huge mirrors: not in the palace, still inhabiting. The most suitable styles for a one-room apartment (both in the panel and in Khrushchev) are varieties of country style, minimalism and some ethnic styles. The fact is that all country styles came from rural life and were originally intended for arrangement and decoration of small village houses. Therefore, it is these styles that are inherent in "tricks" helping to save living space, and techniques that allow this space to visually expand. In particular, all without exception, country-style is typical for the design of a home in bright "natural" tones. Namely, this is especially true for the design of a one-room apartment. Design in the style of minimalism - a solution that meets modern trends in interior fashion. For a one-room apartment, this style also suits as well as possible: maximum functionality with minimal furniture set. The maximum release of space in a competent layout - is not this what we are trying to achieve by designing a one-room apartment?
Layout
This is the last thing to be determined,proceeding to design. Here you do not have many options, but not so few. First, one-bedroom apartments in panel houses have a loggia and sometimes a niche. This makes it possible to organize an additional room or an isolated functional area. Secondly, the area of the kitchen in modern panel houses is decent enough to be converted into a separate bedroom or nursery, and the kitchen at the same time to move into the hallway or pantry. Thirdly, the living room area also allows you to build additional partitions and turn a one-room apartment into a two-room apartment. Strictly speaking, a fairly large area of the living room is an excellent start for the zonal design of a one-room apartment. Zoning the room is a favorite of modern interior designers, so why not follow our example? And another, no less fashionable variant of planning (redevelopment) - the transformation of a one-room apartment into an apartment-studio. True, such a redevelopment, will require the dismantling of walls and, as a rule, the coordination of this process in the relevant authorities. So, being the owner of a one-room apartment in a panel house and conceiving a new design of this apartment, you should start with solving three main questions:
- choice of binding things and furnishings,
- choice of interior style,
- the choice of the layout of the apartment.
And then proceed to the very design and implementation of your project. Good luck! We advise you to read:
