  • Dec 27, 2019

One of the most challenging layouts - a narrow room with a door at one end and a single window in another. But even in this "car" you can create a comfortable interior. We collected 10 ideas from designers - from visual methods to the successful placement of furniture.

1. Divide the wall into pieces

Use more saturated colors or contrasting wallpaper, tall narrow cabinets or racks - you can use any accent, which monotony of a long wall will divide into parts.

2. Set the direction of the floor

The first thing that comes to mind at the sight of a narrow room - lay flooring or engineered timber deck long way. This solution is really very simple, but not the best with the space perception point of view. To visually shorten the room, put on a diagonal boards or choose a more complex pattern.

3. complicate geometry

Usually, various ledges and niches rather perceived as a lack of space than his dignity. But in the case of a long narrow room any complication of space to play on the hand - a space no longer seem monotonous.

4. Even the ceiling divide into zones

Another way to visually shorten the room - ceiling split apart. Fit moldings, fold dyeing or beam.

5. zoned space

You can do it just with the help of the wall, but still better to use a translucent design, for example, sliding glass partitions or openwork lattice and thin shelves.

6. use mirrors

The only window in the narrow part of the room does not provide a sufficient amount of natural light. Therefore, use the "light trap" - mirrors. If to hang them in front of the window, the room will seem lighter than most, but even more stretched. Therefore, the ideal - in the middle of one of the long walls.

7. The passage is left free

In Khrushchev often narrow rooms and more checkpoints, so when such planning is better to concentrate all the furniture in one part of the room, leaving the checkpoint part of the free. It can, for example, be used to host storage systems.

8. Storage system - ends

Cabinet or rack along the long wall will make it even longer, and the room - even longer. Instead, move the storage system on the front wall. Not necessarily limited to conventional cabinets, you can arrange storage around doors or windows.

9. The kitchen in the two series

Owning elongated kitchens falls especially hard. Traditional option with a layout - long linear kitchen and table opposite. But do not be afraid Sause already narrow space! Set two rows of cupboards facing each other, and the area of ​​the window is reserved for the dining room. The main condition - to between cabinets there was a place for opening the doors.

10. Bed lengthwise or crosswise

Elongated bedroom makes one wonder whether to put a bed across the room or along. But there is another option - to fully devote to her end of the room.
