Typical one-bedroom apartments rarely differ in size, as a result, the interior of the kitchen is often limited in color and materials. In small spaces, you can not use dark colors, some design tricks, you will have to give up some elements of furniture. In this case, it is important to think about design so that the kitchen was convenient to work in and, if possible, with the comfort of seating in the dining area. The latter, if necessary, can be used for homework, lessons, reading, etc. In this article we will talk about a kitchen planner tool for small one bedroom flat.

What areas should be in the kitchen

To create a harmonious interior, any room should be divided into functional zones, allocating a specific place for each. Zoning is necessary not at the whim of fashion, but to increase the functionality of the kitchen space. Repair of the kitchen in a one-room apartment most often involves the arrangement of the following zones:

• Working surface with the necessary appliances and sink;
• The dining area (this may be a compact corner sofa with a small table or bar counter);
• Zone for relaxing (in this case, a compact kitchen TV on the wall is added to the sofa with a table);
• A dining table as a working table for a schoolboy or student, if the room does not have enough space for a full-fledged home office.

However, all of this is more convenient to place in spacious rooms, while in the kitchen of a one-room apartment most often have to be located on 6-8 square meters. Such a small area dictates the purchase of compact furniture and built-in appliances. Such an approach to furnishing the room will save already small space.

Color scheme

To create a stylish kitchen design in a one-room apartment, it is necessary to intelligently approach the selection of colors. For small spaces, it will always be a good decision to use a light gamut. White is able to visually expand the space, making it lighter and more airy. And when choosing bright details should take into account the peculiarities of yellow and orange slightly increase the objects.

The choice of colors affects the amount of light, as well as the location of windows in the kitchen relative to the sides of light. If for the southern and eastern rooms are appropriate cool colors – white, shades of blue, mint, turquoise, soft lilac and gray, then on the north side the same shades will look too pale and cold. If a one-room apartment faces north, it is better to use golden shades of beige, honey, peach, green (without a touch of blue), etc.

But picking up patterns and ornaments for finishing the kitchen in a one-room apartment should be even more careful. Too large or bright designs can visually reduce the space. It is better to choose small ornaments or discreet stripes. Striped drawing of the walls or floor, among other things, will visually expand the room.
