Interior of a small house - zoning and functional furniture
It is difficult to imagine a person who would not seek to live in a comfortable, cozy house or apartment, where there is everything necessary for a good rest. If for owners of spacious housing everything is decided by the availability of free time and finances for its arrangement, then the interior of a small house requires a lot of effort, attention and imagination. Fortunately, there is no need to invent something radically new. Indeed, the problem of a small, and sometimes frankly cramped, home is faced by many people. Consider the most popular ways out of this situation.
Residential private houses, the area of which is small, are usually not equipped with a special room for family evenings or receptions. But to do without such a room is difficult. Therefore, its function is performed by other rooms. Typically, the living room is combined with a bedroom or kitchen. In the first case, the place to sleep should be separated from the place of family or friendly gatherings. This can be done using a small cabinet, chest of drawers, curtains.
Attention, it is very important that the bed is not only present, but it is really possible to relax on it, while someone else is in the room. This is facilitated by the rejection of the TV, as well as sources of bright light near the berth.
If the living room is combined with the kitchen, then it makes sense to abandon the large dining table in favor of the coffee table. Furniture also does not have to be bulky. The best solution is a small sofa (possibly a corner) and several armchairs, chairs or ottomans. They fit well into any layout and do not take up much space.
Bedroom
The design of a small country house usually does not include a separate spacious room, which can be used as a bedroom. There are several options for the interior, which will be the way out:
confine yourself to a narrow sofa in the living room;
put a bed in a small room, which will occupy almost its entire area;
equip a sleeping place in the attic under the roof of the house.
In order to implement the last project, you need to free the attic from all things, insulate the roof from the inside and remove part of the attic floor. After that, you need to install a reliable staircase and directly a berth. Its function can be performed by a hard mattress. Then it remains only to place a lamp and shelves near the bed for the necessary things: books, phone, comb.
Kitchen in a small house
No matter how small the area of the house is, it cannot do without a place where you can store food and prepare food, that is, without an equipped kitchen.It is worth giving preference to a compact model of a refrigerator or sink for dishes, furniture with a built-in oven.
A huge role in arranging the kitchen of a small house is played by a variety of shelves and cabinets, which can be located on several levels. Festive services, jars with exotic spices, voluminous pans and pans, spare detergents can be removed to the upper shelves, only what is often needed is at hand. The bottom surface of the shelves should be equipped with reliable hooks. They will accommodate small pans, cups, a ladle, kitchen towels, potholders.

Bathroom
The area of even the smallest country house usually allows you to place a sitting bathroom or shower. This is not the best solution in terms of comfort, but it is determined by necessity. Household chemicals and washing powder can be placed under the bath or in the cabinet. On the shelves there is a place for shampoo, shower gel, soap, toothpaste.
In such a small room, walls should be actively used. They should be hooked for washcloths, towels, bathrobes. The same devices can be placed on the inner surface of the door. Before proceeding with this, it is necessary to assess the quality of the door and the load that will not harm it. No need to save on a good rug, because with a small size of the bathroom, splashing water on the floor is almost inevitable. It’s better to buy some silicone or rubber mats than spend money on floor repairs and getting rid of mold.
Workplace equipment
The realities of modern life are such that the average person can not often leave work outside the walls of his house. Many people take part of the work at home, give it a weekend or part of the vacation, someone works remotely or just likes to read the news while sitting at a desktop computer.In this case, you can not do without a kind of office in the country house. A small paper table and a comfortable armchair will fit perfectly into the interior of a small house, but you need to find a place for this furniture. It usually becomes part of the bedroom or living room.
Attention, it is very important to place the desktop near the window or at least install a bright lamp above it.
A good option for a functional interior would be a compact wall for the living room with an integrated work desk. In any case, the style of the furniture of the working area should coincide with the design of the living room or bedroom. It is best to choose a ready-made kit from a trusted manufacturer. Then the room will look harmonious and cozy, will make a good impression on the most demanding guests, will become a favorite place for family members.

In addition, racks will become an additional storage place for necessary things: books, dishes, bedding. And putting vases, figurines or candles on them can decorate the room.
