The design of a one-room apartment of a young man does not have a clear definition or any specific style decisions. There are key reference points, but much depends on the personal preferences of the homeowner. After all, an apartment can be made in a classic or vintage style, if a young man prefers them. But still there are 2 main features that, according to designers, are present in all "male" apartments. This is conciseness and convenience. That is, such a design should not look too elaborate. Also a big plus will be considered the versatility of the room. Some items of furniture and interior should have several functions in order to transform at the right time. Indeed, even in an inveterate bachelor, a room in a one-room apartment can play the role of not only a bedroom, but also a living room, dining room and even a gym.
In an apartment where a single man lives, everything should be at hand. At the same time, there is no need to litter the housing, therefore, when developing the design for such premises, you need to take care of a large number of places to store things. But cabinets should not greatly reduce the room, because most men prefer spacious rooms. Because of this, instead of part of the closed cabinets, it is worth hanging several shelves. The male interior is distinguished by its simplicity and conciseness of shapes and colors. Usually, men do not like the diversity and mixing of different styles, and therefore prefer monotony. In the apartments of representatives of the strong half of humanity, a lot of black is often found, but here it is quite appropriate. Black color in design often emphasizes the strength of character, elegance and seriousness of the property owner.
Styles that Bachelors Choose
Bachelor apartments used to be associated with an eternal mess and lots of dust, but today everything is changing. Many young men are neater than girls, so today bachelor housing is distinguished by urbanism, comfort and maximum orderliness. Because of this, bachelors most often choose the following styles when repairing an apartment: high-tech, brutalism or loft. High-tech housing is always fashionable. In such apartments there should be a lot of modern technology and various innovative innovations, for example, automatic sliding doors or smart lights.
The brutal style of the interior is distinguished by its simplicity, lack of decoration and thoughtfulness. In such apartments there are no unnecessary details, and each thing has several purposes.The loft is distinguished by the absence of extra walls, emphasized by rough finish and maximum adaptability. Also for men's apartments, the following styles are characteristic:
minimalism;
modernism;
classic;
eclecticism;
ethnic style etc.
Men's color palette
Male interior can be made in dark and light colors. Black favorite by many may be completely absent. Design trends are such that today for a long time there is no typical separation of colors into exclusively female and male. That is, a man may well decorate a room or a bathtub in pink, but usually other shades are still chosen: coffee, cream, sand, amber, olive, gray, purple or indigo. These colors can be successfully combined with each other, as well as make any bright accents on their background. For example, against the background of gray shades, practically acidic red or yellow inserts will look amazing. Only you need to carefully select the palette used, since not all colors are successfully combined with each other. Successful color combinations include:
yellow and green;
gray and blue;
red and dark gray;
beige and blue.
Materials and textures for decoration
In the interior of a one-room apartment of a young man, you can use absolutely everything. For decoration, wood, metal, fabrics, leather and even fur are suitable. But the surfaces must be combined with each other. Parquet or laminate is ideal as a flooring, although in the kitchen and in the bathroom you can limit yourself to tiles. It is also worth decorating the floor with large tiles and in the hallway. This is practical because the tile is the easiest to clean from dirt and dust. On the floor in the room you can throw any animal skin, if the general style of the interior allows. Washable wallpaper for painting is suitable for wall decoration, although in some places of the apartment you can close the walls with wooden panels. It looks stylish and interesting.The ceiling in the apartment can be whitewashed. It can also be designed using suspended structures.
Lighting Features
Men love light and space, so do not save on lighting. Ceiling chandeliers or wall sconces should shine brightly in the kitchen and in the bathroom, as these rooms cannot be too dark. A room in a one-room apartment performs several functions at once, so you need to take care of different types of lighting. For general lighting, you need to hang a large ceiling chandelier. When using lamps with a lampshade, models with materials that transmit light are selected. For the working area, it is better to use a separate lamp. A regular floor lamp, a sconce above a desk or a table lamp can play its role. As night lighting, you can use small lamps on the bedside tables. It is also advisable to integrate all the lighting into the innovative Smart Home system.
"Smart Home" makes it possible to control lighting with just one movement of the hand.
Furniture with a masculine character
Furniture installed in odnushka of a young guy should also be simple and concise. The room should not be turned into a bedroom, so in very small apartments you will have to forget about classic double beds and give preference to multifunctional folding sofas or a stylish bed, which is cleaned in a closet. The material of the furniture depends on the style of the room, but usually young people stop on wood, metal, durable glass or plastic. Soft fabric upholstery for chairs and sofas is undesirable, usually leather furniture is chosen. To store things, it is better to install a mirrored wardrobe in the entire wall, as it visually increases the space. All home decoration should have simple straight lines. One or two elements of an unusual geometric shape are allowed to emphasize them.
Design and zoning options for an apartment
The sizes of one-room apartments are not very large, so it will not work to realize absolutely any design ideas. When zoning the premises, you first need to decide on the possibility of redevelopment. If the owner of the real estate is set to overhaul with moving walls, then there are more opportunities for zoning. If this is not possible, then it is necessary to develop a design project in which areas of the apartment will be highlighted with the help of color or some kind of furniture. But the interiors in the men's style are initially very concise, so the division into zones can be completely arbitrary. In the studio you just need to identify places for sleeping and eating, and in ordinary apartments in rooms, using color accents, you can allocate a place for sports. When developing a design project, the interiors of all rooms in the apartment are thought out:
kitchens;
rooms;
a bathroom;
hallway.
Kitchen-living room
The design of the kitchen and living room should begin with a choice of lighting. Warm white light is appropriate here, because it creates an atmosphere of comfort. Food illuminated by white light looks very appetizing. The color of the kitchen set depends on the personal preferences of the young man. It is best to choose closed wooden cabinets with metal splashes. There should be many cabinets, because they will store equipment for cooking (blender, food processor, toaster, slow cooker, etc.). Men do not always like to cook on the stove or in the oven. Dining table can be anything. Its size depends on the area of the kitchen, but in bachelor apartments there is no need for large tables. You can even limit yourself to a bar. This element is ideal for studio planning, when you want to zoning the space in the kitchen and living room.
Such a bar needs high bar stools with or without backs.
Living area
If the living room is combined with the kitchen, then it is necessary to highlight the living area in it.To do this, you can use color and make this place brighter. For example, the sleeping area is decorated in sand, and the living room is in bright yellow. At the same time, the design styles of the kitchen and living room should match or combine well. If the room is not connected to the kitchen, then usually it simultaneously plays the role of both the bedroom and the living room. A double sofa bed is assembled and converted into traditional furniture for the living room. In this case, there should be a coffee table in the room, which, when the sofa is unfolded, moves to the wall. If the size of the room allows, then you can immediately put both a sofa and a bed. At the same time, the living room area, where the folding sofa is located, is distinguished by color, decorative elements or a wardrobe with no back wall.
Work zone
The work area in the interior of the men's apartment has a special place. Any man needs a good computer or desk. You can’t save on it. Moreover, this is true even for those who use not a stationary computer, but a laptop. The table should be set close to the window to provide natural light. In the working area you need to put a cabinet-rack for papers with open and closed shelves. Also, several shelves should be hung above the table. A special computer chair will become an additional element for zoning, but it is not mandatory. For work, you can use a regular chair with a straight back or a comfortable leather chair. If the one-room apartment has a very small room, but has a balcony, the workplace can be installed on the balcony. Only it needs to be pre-insulated.
Sitting area / bedroom
The arrangement of the sleeping area depends on the size of the apartment and room. In small rooms you will have to confine yourself to a folding sofa, since a double bed with an orthopedic mattress will "eat" too much usable area. In large rooms it will be possible to make a classic bedroom.If there are alcoves, then the bed can be installed there. For additional zoning, it is better to make a small podium to accurately indicate the location of the bed. All kinds of screens are not typical for the male interior, so the sleeping area does not need to be fenced off. It should be highlighted with color. For lighting, wall sconces with matte bulbs are suitable. A bedside table should be placed next to the bed in order to be able to put a TV remote control or book on it before going to bed without getting out of bed.
A bathroom
The bathroom in one-room apartments is combined and separate. Since there is one person living in the room, there is no need to redesign the bathroom. The bathroom is best done in bright colors. A black toilet or a steel-colored bathtub, of course, looks impressive, but it does not always correspond to the style of the rest of the rooms in the apartment, which is wrong. If a man does not like to take a bath, it is better to install a multifunctional shower with massage function instead. Such cabs look stylish and very convenient to operate. The washing machine can be integrated under the sink to save space, and also in the bathroom you should definitely put a large basket for dirty laundry so that clothes do not lie on the floor. A shelf with a mirror should be hung above the sink so that it is convenient to comb your hair right after the shower.
Hallway
Typically, the hallways in one-room apartments are small, so this room should not be littering. In the corridor, you should put a rack for outerwear or attach a hanger with hooks and a shelf for hats to the wall. Also next to the front door you need to install a wooden shoe rack. If the size of the hallway allows, you can mount a mirrored wardrobe. In the corridor you should hang an ordinary mirror or a shelf for small things (keys, business cards, watches, etc.).For the design of small halls, it is better to choose light colors, because too dark shades visually make the room even smaller. Also in the hallway should lay a door mat. It is needed with any floor covering, as it will collect all the dirt from street shoes, preventing it from falling into other rooms of the apartment.
Functional dressing room
Not every one-room apartment boasts a dressing room. These rooms are odnushki in Stalin's houses or new buildings. Moreover, sometimes the dressing rooms are not initially separated from the corridor. They are limited by coupe-type doors. From the outside, such a dressing room resembles an ordinary wardrobe, but it allows you to store a large number of things. It should be equipped with cabinets and racks for storing clothes. It is better to choose tall cabinets to the ceiling in order to place not only clothes, but also sports equipment (skis, skates and even a bicycle in disassembled or folded form). Wardrobe rooms are allocated in separate rooms only in Stalin's houses in the form of full storage rooms. But here you can break down an ordinary door and wall by installing a standard compartment with a mirror for a visual increase in space.
Conclusion
The design of the apartment of a young man should be strict and concise. A variety of styles allows you to play with colors, textures and materials, but when designing an apartment it is better to stop in one direction and stick to the classics. In odnushka should put simple functional furniture with a large number of sections for storing things, which will be convenient for daily use. The black color in the interior of the apartment of a young man looks spectacular, but it is better to dilute it with light shades so as not to get too dark a picture. When decorating the premises, each square meter should be used.Rational zoning and arrangement of balconies with pantries will make it possible to realize the most unusual design fantasies even in small-sized odnushka.
