People living in a one-room or two-room apartment have to combine the living room with the bedroom, which leads to some difficulties.
Some people are ready to give up and live as they can, but there are people for whom aesthetics plays an important role.
In this case, you will have to look for solutions that will allow you to furnish the room not only practically, but also stylishly.
How to choose furniture
For those who decide to combine the bedroom with the living room, there are only three options.
Option one: sofa
The classic solution is to put a sofa in the room that folds out at night, turning into a bed. It would seem very convenient. But in practice, everything is different. Firstly, it is difficult to find a sofa that is comfortable to sleep on.
As a rule, sofas are designed to be used by guests from time to time, so preference is given to aesthetics rather than comfort. Sleeping on an uncomfortable sofa every night is a direct path to chronic fatigue and problems with the spine.
There are sofas that are more suitable for sleeping, but when assembled they do not look very attractive. You will have to try hard to find a model that is ideal in all respects.
Option two: transformable furniture
This is a modern and convenient solution. The transformer is easier to unfold than a regular sofa, and the furniture itself can become not only a sofa when assembled, but, for example, a wall with laconic decor. This frees up space.
Option three: sofa and bed
You can divide the room into a living room and bedroom area, and then put a sofa and a bed. This option is suitable for those who do not want to constantly fold and unfold a sofa or transformable furniture.
Closet
You will also need to place a storage cabinet in the living room. But if there is very little space, you can get by with a chest of drawers, and store things that require hanging in a cabinet in the hallway.
If you need to put a wardrobe in the living room, you will have to find a place for it where it will not be conspicuous.
For example, next to the door or in a niche if the room has a complex configuration. It may be necessary to make it to order in order to use the space as rationally as possible.
If you decide to put a sofa and a bed in the living room, you should separate the sleeping area. This is often done with a closet. But the closet creates a oppressive atmosphere and does not let in natural light.
A convenient and budget option is lightweight curtains that can be easily hung or moved aside if necessary. A glass wall looks more expensive and beautiful. You can hang the glass with the same curtains or use wooden blinds.
