Living room design 15 sq m - layout features and furniture arrangement

Design features

A compact living room requires a special approach when renovating. The design should hide the minuses of the room and emphasize its merits:

• Color spectrum. Designers recommend abandoning repetitive prints on the wallpaper - the monochromatic design of the walls makes the atmosphere neater and more minimalistic. For the interior of a living room with an area of ​​15 square meters, white, gray and beige tones are suitable, as well as any light shades that visually expand the space.
• Finishing.If the height of the ceiling allows, you can arrange it with a tension structure: the canvas will hide surface imperfections. Low ceilings are best whitewashed or painted. Any even coating is suitable for walls - wallpaper, paint, smooth decorative plaster. Textured finishes (brick, panels, wood) can overload the interior of a living room of 15 square meters, so it is recommended to use them on one or two accent walls. For flooring, you should choose a wear-resistant coating - laminate, linoleum or parquet. If the living room is combined with the kitchen, ceramic tiles are usually placed in the cooking area.
• Furniture. For a small guest room, you should choose simple, laconic furniture without unnecessary decorative details.

Layout

Disadvantages of the room can be corrected with the help of decoration and a successful arrangement of furniture.

Rectangular living room 15 m2

An irregularly shaped room can be partially adjusted due to the division into two functional areas. One conditional square is reserved for relaxation (a small sofa is placed, a TV is hung), and the second is for work or storage.

In the photo there is a stylish narrow living room of 15 sq. Despite the elongated shape of the room, the interior looks expensive due to the color palette, furniture made of noble wood species, high-quality sofa upholstery and moldings on the walls.

In a narrow living room, you should not place tall furniture along the walls. If you need to put a cabinet, you should choose the smaller side of the "rectangle" for it.

Square hall

The living room of the correct shape looks more spacious, its shape does not need to be corrected, but it is more difficult to achieve clear zoning. Therefore, a room of 15 m is often decorated with a minimum amount of furniture that makes up a triangle: a sofa, an armchair, a coffee table. Opposite the TV is hung or a fireplace is set up.

In the photo there is a square living room with an area of ​​15 m, in which shelves, an upholstered furniture group, as well as a TV and an electric fireplace fit in.

A well-shaped room often has two windows: you should take advantage of this, as natural light makes the space visually wider. Do not burden the window openings with multi-tiered curtains, appropriate only in the classic style. For a small living room, modern directions are more suitable, and the classics will not look convincing enough.

Zoning 15 sq.

Before renovating an apartment, you should decide on the functional purpose of the living room. How will it be used?

The room can be combined with the bedroom: in this case, the recreation area is separated from the sleeping area by a light partition, screen or rack.To save space, a transforming sofa is often used, which, when unfolded, serves as a bed at night.

If the living room serves not only as a place for receiving guests, but also as a study, then it must be equipped with a desk and a comfortable chair. An unusual, but very functional option will be a workplace hidden in a closet.

In the photo there is a living room of 15 square meters, where the sleeping place is separated by an original partition with a mirror effect.

In a rectangular room of 15 square meters, various colors and materials are used for visual zoning, highlighting a particular area. The same function is performed by lamps that are hung or placed in a certain area: light not only divides the space, but also makes it more comfortable.

You can delimit the functional areas using low partitions or a bar counter, if the living room plays the role of a kitchen.

In the photo, the working area is separated by a table, and the seating area is indicated by a soft carpet and a sofa.

Arrangement of furniture

The main element of the living room is comfortable furniture, in particular a sofa. For the rational use of the square hall area, designers advise placing a corner model, which will surely become a favorite gathering place for the whole family. It is worth considering that the size of the selected product should correspond to the proportions of a 15 square meter room and not look too bulky. A lighter impression is made by two small sofas, set perpendicular or opposite each other.

In photographs of real interiors, it is easy to notice that many designers place sofas with their backs to the window, which is not quite usual for the layman. As you can see, this solution does not prevent the interior from looking stylish and harmonious.

To facilitate the impression of furniture, it is worth choosing products with thin legs or hanging structures: the more the floor is open to the eye, the more spacious the room seems.

In the design of a living room of 15 sq m, it is useful to use a bay window or balcony. In the bay window, you can equip a sofa with storage space, and the insulated loggia can be turned into an office, library or even a dressing room.

The most suitable direction for the interior of a compact living room is minimalism. White color in decoration, laconicism, lack of unnecessary decor fills the room with air and light. To create a cozy atmosphere at home, you should take a closer look at the Scandinavian style: it includes almost all the features of minimalism, but welcomes hand-made, warm textiles and house plants.

For lovers of rustic simplicity with French notes, Provence is suitable, which is distinguished by pastel colors, exquisite antique furniture with floral patterns and an abundance of textiles.

Also, for a living room of 15 square meters, a modern style is a win-win option, which is appreciated for its functionality and visual appeal. Here, built-in appliances and practical transformable furniture fit perfectly into a bright, distinctive environment.

Design ideas

Sometimes, in order to make a living room of 15 square meters as spacious and spacious as possible, designers use a whole arsenal of tools: mirror and glossy surfaces, white walls and ceilings, wallpaper with perspective.

Color techniques also distract from small dimensions: furniture painted in the same shade as the walls, or bright single accents on a neutral background.
