Need to unite different functional zones of premises usually arises in small-sized apartments. Quite often it is necessary to receive guests in one room, to sleep, change clothes, make out working and children's corners. One of the most popular tasks for interior designers – to connect the living room and the bedroom. To combine public and intimate zones, it is necessary to find traditional or more unusual solutions.

1. Give preference to easy, mobile furniture. Forget about massive case models if you want to use as much as possible room space in the different purposes. Pay attention to mobile coffee tables, folding tables, easy wicker chairs with pillows for sitting, bars on wheels, padded stools – all this is possible without efforts to move on the room. If necessary furniture is placed for guests, then cleans up.
2. Use multipurpose furniture. In average apartments the problem of combination of the living room and bedroom is traditionally solved by sofa bed or one-two transforming chairs. In the afternoon they serve as element of guest zone, and turn into berth at night. Find optimal variant for the apartment. For example, the angular sofa bed will save space; modern folding cabinets and even tables can be also transformed to bed.
3. Try to allocate the bedroom and the living room for accurate zones. Good option - bed attic: the bed is under ceiling, and racks or soft corner for guests below are placed. For the mini-bedroom it is possible to make cozy recess by means of sliding screens, curtains or blinds. The traditional decision is to confront cabinet to guests, and on its deaf party to place the place for dream.
4. Find other ways of simple zoning of the room. The bed is comfortably fenced with canopy or the mosquito grid suspended on four ceiling rings. Also the screen of the home theater or live wall of climbers will help to fence off the living room from the bedroom. What you would not make the decision, follow the important rule - do not do intimate zone of checkpoint.
5. Establish stationary interroom partitions from plastic or gypsum cardboard. If indoors there are two windows, you will have more opportunities to separate it into two parts. So the mini-bedroom or the mini-living room will not appear in dark uncomfortable corner. For the room with one window it is possible to recommend the glass screen for part of the room. To veil bed, decorate partition with stained-glass window or toning.
6. Pay special attention to registration of interior of the bedroom living room. If you want "to dissolve" two zones one in another, it makes sense to pick up wall-paper, floor coverings, furniture upholstery, curtains in uniform color gamma. At accurate zoning, on the contrary, emphasize different sites of the room with contrast finishing.
7. Lamps will help to bring additional accents. At guests use ceiling chandelier, and before going to bed include wall lamps with the muffled light or floor floor lamp.
8. Order furniture by the individual order if you have material resources. Together with the experienced designer and the architect it is possible to think up original decisions for the small-sized apartment. They will depend on family needs and features of your house.
