Layout of the house: unusual design solutions in the interior

When building a private house, you need to think through all the details: the layout, the interior, and the design. That is why it is necessary to plan in advance the number of rooms, their purpose and placement in the house. It is important to take into account the principles of planning, design advice and fashion trends.

When building modern wooden or brick cottages, it is necessary to carry out the planning especially carefully and correctly. This is necessary so that you can make the most functional use of the entire space of the room and at the same time feel freedom.

Before planning, you need to decide what the area of ​​the house will be and how many floors it will have. The peculiarity of the proper planning and construction is that it should occupy a little space on the site, but at the same time provide comfortable living, taking into account the wishes of all family members.

Now, when planning, only new technologies are used, which allow to save space and other indicators, for example, energy costs. When planning a modern home most often give preference to rectangular houses with several floors. Thus, you can expand the living area, taking up less space on the site.

When planning it should be borne in mind that the most practical would be the option with the walls of the usual type without projections. In addition, the perfect attic, which will save money on the installation of the roof. Now a feature of the layout of modern cottages is that they are more and more often combined with garages. So you will be more comfortable because it will be easier for you to follow the car. In addition, the combination of buildings can save space.

At the same time, the garage can directly adjoin the residential area, and if the area of ​​the plot allows, you can make a small walk-through area for production purposes between them, equipping an assembly room or something else there. In addition, above the garage above you can position the living room, but you need to take into account the fact that the garage must have separate ventilation. Place it should be so that it does not interfere with living quarters on top. But the best thing when planning over the garage to allocate a terrace or other premises.

The location of all functional areas and rooms is calculated taking into account the cardinal directions. So you can make the room brighter and warmer where it is needed. When planning the house, they think in advance about the possibility of expanding the area of ​​the dwelling so that the house can be completed up or sideways.

The most undesirable, but acceptable option is the arrangement of the basement, where you can make your own gym or utility workshop.

The arrangement of a small house and the layout of zones inside it will resemble a studio apartment, and the arrangement of a cottage can be more spacious and functional. Single-storey structures are cheaper compared to two-storey ones, but at the same time they take up a lot of space on the site.But the two-story, although they save space, they require that you think over your budget and the furnishings of all the rooms in advance.

Any project of the house where the family will live should include a kitchen, living room, hallway, children's room, bedroom, as well as a bathroom and not one if there are several floors in the room. You also need to provide space for industrial purposes, as well as for the guest room. But the concrete breading will depend on the composition of the family and how often you receive guests.

Named zones can be divided or combined depending on the area of ​​your house. When planning private houses, many abandon the hallways, making instead a closed porch outside. Thus, you can make a more interesting layout and interior design.

A feature of the planning of a private house is that you can independently set the boundaries between the rooms or even abandon them in some areas. But for this it is important to study the capabilities and functionality of some rooms, the rules of their location relative to each other.

One-storey house is much easier and faster to build than a room with several floors. In addition, you will be able to choose absolutely any interior and layout, without adjusting to the height of the building and not excluding at the same time separately allocated space for the passage to the top. This is a great option for owners of large suburban areas, which is suitable even for a large family.

The most important part of such a house is the foundation, but it may have a lightweight construction, since there will be no floors besides the first one. In addition, you do not have to reinforce the walls when planning, as is always necessary when planning multi-storey structures. The choice of building materials will be limitless. A single-storey house can be easily added to the side if the need for expansion. Therefore, it is considered the most versatile design.

The stairs you need only if you want to make a house with a loft, but it will be more compact and simple. Often, the owners of such houses are required to increase the area, but since not everyone has a lot of free space on the plot, an attic is perfect.On it you can equip a nursery, bedroom or dressing room with a pantry.

In addition, some when planning consider the option of arranging the basement, where billiard rooms, storerooms, a gym, and a recreation area are placed.

Some when planning such a small house prefer to move all premises for household purposes to the lower floor. This option of breading is suitable even for a small house measuring 4 by 6 m. For more spacious houses of 10 by 12 m, it is possible to foresee both the attic and the ground floor at the same time. But for this purpose it is necessary to carry out the heating system in the premises and insulate them.

In a single-storey house it is better to place all the rooms sequentially in accordance with the purpose. In addition, you need to competently conduct communication systems. In this case, the kitchen is better placed next to the bathroom. Wider spaces for fantasy are the layout and design of a large one-story house of 100 square meters. m. It can provide absolutely all functional areas.

In such a house even a guest area and a study can fit, and all the rooms should be of impressive size. It can provide a closed terrace or terrace for relaxing. Such a layout of a one-story house will allow to show creativity and make living in it more comfortable.

A two-story private house should have some features of the layout that distinguish it from the one-story construction. So, an important difference and peculiarity of such a layout is that it is necessary to find a place for the stairs that will be placed between the two floors.

For large country houses suitable spacious straight staircase of the classical type, made of wood. But for a small country house it is better to use compact metal screw structures.

This staircase allows you to distinguish between day and night zone. At the same time, the day zone is placed on the first floor, and the night zone - on the second. In addition, on the second floor you can place a dressing room and even a storage room. But if the inhabitants of the house are elderly people, then the bedroom in this case is located on the first floor, while the household premises are located on the second floor.

In the 2-storey building you need to provide several bathrooms, so that they are within walking distance from the central residential areas. Thus, they should be both on the ground floor and on the second floor in order to be convenient for use, including for guests. Bathrooms are better placed so that the entrance to them is not visible from the living room. In addition, in the bathroom near one floor there should be a shower, and in the bathroom of the second floor there should be a bathroom. So you can reduce the cost of water.

The bathroom of the second floor should be located near the bedroom. The bathroom on the first floor should have a guest character, that is, it is better to accommodate a shower and some bath accessories, sink, toilet. A similar room of the second floor can be more spacious and spacious. It is possible to equip a large bath and sauna.

In a two-story house the main communication systems are located below. The boiler room is always close to the kitchen. But in some cases, the boiler room is transferred to the garage if it is attached to the house.

In addition, if the house has two floors, then there should be two dressing rooms: one - near the bedroom upstairs, and the second - downstairs so that you can quickly get ready for work in the morning. On the second floor, next to the bedroom area, you can do a small laundry room, where you install a washing machine, clothes dryer and ironing board. So you can separate it and make it more invisible to guests.

In order to make the right layout of a private house, it is necessary to take into account some important principles. So, first of all, it is necessary to divide the entire internal space of the house into two large groups:

• residential;
• economic, non-residential.

The living area is divided into day and evening. After that, all these rooms must also be divided into children and adults, and separate guest areas. According to this principle, the daily zone should be from:

• the corridor;
• hallway;
• living room;
• dining room;
• verandas.

The night zone should include:

• bedroom;
• dressing room;
• additional bathroom (if space allows).

As for the non-residential - economic zone, then this part of the house includes:

• kitchen;
• pantry;
• garage;
• workshop room;
• restroom.

When choosing the right rooms and dividing them into a zone of the day and evening, you must take into account the position of the sun and the placement of the windows, as well as the view from the window. The next principle is to reduce the size and number of corridors and wide aisles. This is due to the fact that the presence of large non-residential spaces reduces the cost of the cottage at times.

Based on this principle, you can make a study in the bedroom or in the hall, and combine the kitchen with a dining room or living room. If there is not much space in the house, this principle should be fundamental. I.e it is better to abandon the halls and make spaces such as kitchen, dining room and hall. About them you can equip the hallway with a small corridor.

Another principle of good planning - the allocation of separate rooms for couples and children. It is also customary to equip one common room, where all family members could get together. If you plan to accommodate guests, then it is important for you to pre-allocate the guest bedroom, which in your free time can serve as a study or rest room.

The next principle is the placement of a family in a house separately if it is lived for several generations. It is better to provide for this different bathrooms and bedrooms and separate entrances to these zones. So you competently demarcate the private house. In addition, it is important to bear in mind that if elderly parents live with you, it is better to place them on the first floor.

The next principle is the arrangement of two entrances to the house.One door should be central at the entrance to the site opposite the gate, and the second should be located on the back side of the house, where the terrace is usually located. It should only be used by the owner of the room. So you do not have to bypass a large house to enter it from the site. If you do not want to comply with this principle, then you can make a separate entrance by placing it from the butt so that you can easily enter it from any direction.

The next principle - the calculation of space for the stairs. This principle applies to double-decker or higher houses. In this case, it is necessary to take into account whether you want to make it a central element or, on the contrary, you want to make it more invisible. It is important to correctly calculate the place under the stairs and the room in which it will be placed.

If you want to draw the attention of guests to it, then it is better to place the stairs in the dining room or living room, and if you want to hide it from prying eyes, you can install this element of the interior in the hall or in the hallway. And It is important to conduct proper lighting of this zone in order to protect households.. This can be done with the help of additional lighting or placing it in front of the window.

The next principle is the calculation of the floor space and their number so that it is possible to accommodate newly appeared family members without any problems. When you have babies, you need to allocate for them a separate small room.

That is why when planning It is important to provide a place where you could make an extension to the house or arrange a small room above in the form of an attic. These options need to think in advance to leave free space.

The following principle of breading - the right choice of place for the fireplace. In private homes often set these fireplaces that need to pick up and arrange for them a place in advance. Most often they are installed in the hall, so there you need to place the chimney and pipe. After the end of planning it will be much more difficult. Therefore, try to think about the installation in advance and clearly follow this principle.

Another principle is the planning and construction of a rectangular house in order to be economical.If it has less protrusions, bay windows, balconies and non-standard roofs, you will spend several times less money and labor. Besides keeping this principle, You can get rid of heat loss through the external fencing of the house.

When choosing a rectangular option, it is necessary to take into account the rules for the aspect ratio of structures. So, the long and short sides should be related as 1: 1.5. This will make the design as a whole more harmonious. It will reduce the cost of building a simple roof without various decorative finishing techniques and complex shapes.

The next principle - the installation of windows in the house, taking into account the direction of wind and sun. This way you can reduce the cost of space heating and cooling in the cold or warm season. The windows of living rooms should face south, but the premises for household purposes should be done on the north side of the house.

Also important is the location of bathrooms and communications over each other.If the bathroom is installed in a certain place on the first floor, there should be a bathroom on the second floor clearly above it. Choosing a place for the boiler, it is better to place it closer to the kitchen. All communications should be approximately in one place.

You can save space by combining the garage with the house. Thus, you will not have problems with heating premises for household purposes and you can place on it some non-residential areas of the house. In addition, you will easily pass from house to garage, passing the street.

Another principle - the refusal of the basement. Nowadays such premises are practically not used when planning the construction of a house, since their construction is quite expensive. On the insulation and moisture protection of the basement you will spend two times more money than you would spend on the construction of 2 floors. That is why instead of the basement it is better to use the closet, which can be placed on any floor of the house. In addition, for this purpose, and use the attic.

Another principle is good sound insulation of rooms, especially bedrooms. All rooms in the night zoneshould have strong partitions and good sound insulation. It is necessary to install strong doors, windows, walls and seal the ventilation holes. They will provide peace and quiet in the bedroom. Otherwise, you will have to separate the bedroom and the adjacent area by a corridor, taking up extra space, which contradicts one of the above principles.

Another important principle of planning a private house is the arrangement of such a heating system, which will allow to save electricity. For this it is better to use thermostats, to set the desired and desired temperature in each room and raise or lower it when necessary.

There are also automatic thermostats that allow you to maintain the desired temperature and turn off the heating at the right time, and when the temperature drops, they turn it on again. You only need to provide a place for such a system. Thus, even reducing heating by 1 degree, you can save about 5% of electricity.

Another principle that must be observed when breaching a private home is the separation of the entrance door to the vestibule. In this way, you can create a heat gateway and prevent cold air from entering the living area.

For the balcony, it is necessary to provide separate supports, the role of which can be performed by the pillars or enclosing structures of the lower floor. Balcony must be installed separately. Do not continue to overlap in any case, otherwise drafts will penetrate into your house.

When building and finishing the house itself, as well as the balcony, it is important to consider that the glazing area should be sufficient for the required amount of incoming light. The more you glaze the surface, the less you will spend electricity on lighting during the day. The glass surface should be about 1/8 of the total area of ​​the walls of the house.

During construction it is necessary to use only natural and high-quality materials that are safe for human health. It is important that they all undergo an environmental impact assessment and meet all requirements.

When breaded the hall is located in the central part of the house. At the same time, he can distinguish between the living room and guest zone. Very convenient is the layout, in which the living room is bordered by the kitchen. This will simplify your life, since it will be easier to transfer food from the kitchen to the living room during the reception of guests.

In this case, it is better to use for separation not a door, but an arched structure or an easier way of zoning. The living room should be about 3 times larger than the kitchen. The most convenient layout option is that from the corridor leading from the hallway, you can go into the living room. Thus, friends and family visiting you will easily find their way around the house. So you can simplify the layout and separate other, more intimate areas.

The area of ​​the living room can be varied. In small houses, it can be 10 square meters. m, but in larger houses for this room is better to take about 30 squares, because in the living room often have large furniture. In such a room can accommodate more than five guests.

Natural light is important for the living room, so it’s better to have several windows. And the windows should go to the side from which the sun will shine. Not far from the living room, it is better to arrange a bathroom so that guests can easily find it and they do not have to feel awkward asking about its location from the owners.

The hall should lead from the hallway to other rooms. This may be a spacious non-residential premises or a narrow corridor. It is best to take a central location for it and make it passable so that it can be passed from there to all the rooms in the house. But the hall, being a non-residential zone, should occupy as little as possible of the area in the room.

For it can be allocated about 10 square meters. m. And in the center of this hall should be located entrance to the room. If you have a two-story house, a staircase must be visible from the corridor so that you can freely go upstairs. But in the case when the area of ​​the room allows you to equip a spacious entrance hall, you can combine it with the living room, thus making a smooth passage to the living room hallway and separating the front door with a vestibule.

The layout of the kitchen may be different. This can be a spacious room that combines a working area (economic zone of the apron) and a dining dining area. In this kitchen, you need to provide a place for the hood, because without it smells will spread throughout all the rooms. For the cooking zone, it is necessary to allocate approximately 6 square meters. This will be quite enough, but for the food intake zone it is better to select at least 10 square meters. m

Another plan is to combine the kitchen with the living-dining room. In this case, the kitchen can be more spacious. Between them, often set the bar. For her, you can have dinner for one or two family members. The rest of the meals with the whole family or with the guests in this case occur in the hall, where they allocate a dining area.

As for the kitchen and its working area, it must be very functional. Along the perimeter of the room set up headsets and large household appliances, so that the passage was simplified.If you want to make a separate kitchen and a separate dining room, it is better to allocate 10 square meters for each of the rooms. m, then both rooms will be spacious.

But these rooms need to be removed as far as possible from the bedroom and children's room, because so you can get rid of smells when cooking. In this case, the kitchen is often placed next to the bathroom, because it is much easier to install plumbing. Moreover, you can save on the length of communications.

On the bedrooms, designers and developers often save living space. This is due to the fact that people are in them only at night. But at the same time, planning the location of residential premises, you will be able to allocate more space for the bedroom, if you spend a lot of time there and want the room to be full of space.

If in the room you plan only to arrange a place to sleep, then you will be enough area of ​​10 square meters. m and even less. There you can easily put a bed, bedside tables and a wardrobe. But if you want to place a dresser, dressing table and some other accessories, then you should give preference to rooms from 15 square meters. m

The size and location of the bedroom should depend on who will sleep in it. Guest bedroom may be smaller. It is better to have it in remote places, it is acceptable to arrange such a room next to the living area. If a married couple sleeps in the bedroom, then its layout can be quite simple.

But the children's bedroom will not only fulfill the role of a sleeping room, but will also include a play area and even a schoolchildren work area. In addition, several children of different ages are often placed in the same children's bedroom.

For kids and schoolchildren, it is better to make a large play area and a small workplace, but for more adult teenage children you need to make a spacious sleeping and working area, having a separate place in the room for rest and relaxation. This room should include a dressing room, especially for rooms for girls. Children's room should occupy approximately 20 square meters. m. This space is enough for one or two children.

If you have a small house, then it will be more convenient to equip a joint bathroom, which includes a bathroom and toilet.Moreover, its location should be convenient for guests, so that they do not get lost, looking for the premises they need. If you have a two-storey house, then on the first floor you can put the simplest bathroom with a toilet and sink for guests, but on the second you can make a full-fledged bathroom with toilet and bathroom.

In two-story houses, bathrooms should be located above each other. Never install a bathroom on the second floor above the living space. The option of a separated bathroom is the most practical. Thus, the household will not have to wait until the toilet is released to visit the bathroom.

For a separate bathroom, 2-3 square meters can be allotted to each of the two zones, the bathroom zone can be slightly larger, depending on the size of its bowl. You can also make a home sauna, then you need a room of 7 square meters. m. For a bathroom with a sink and sauna is better to choose a room of about 10 square meters. m

The bathroom can be placed on the shady side of the house, but at the same time need to equip a good lighting system. In a large house with one floor, bathrooms should also be in different parts of the house for the convenience of guests and households.

Zoning in a private house can be done in such a way that there are many rooms combined with pass-through rooms. Most of all it refers to the living room areas, which can be located one after another by the type of corridor. In such rooms it will be comfortable to be and you will be able to make the most functional use of the area of ​​the whole house.

When zoning often in the same room combine the kitchen, dining room, living room, separating them by different methods. They can be behind each other, separated by a bar, multi-level floors or ceilings, lighting systems. In addition, for zoning, you can use floor and wall coverings, changing their color, but leaving the same texture, so that the combination looks the most harmonious.

The kitchen can be fenced off with a small partition or rack. After a small kitchen with a working area there can be a dining room where households will gather for meals. Next may be the living area, which is smoothly formed from the dining room. Zoning here can be done by turning the sofa back to the dining room and equipping it as a partition between them.

In addition, many decide to separate the kitchen with a solid partition, making the walls or even placing it in another room. But at the same time they combine more public areas, such as the dining room, living room, library. You can arrange the room in the form of an enfilade, so that the transitions between these functional zones are located on the same axis. This layout resembles old palaces and estates.

The central place should occupy the living room. It may include a library area, it can be distinguished by the color of the walls or floor. In the living room area is better to place a fireplace, placing it in the center. It can become the boundary between different zones.

In addition, zoning often has to be carried out in other rooms. Sharing when planning a house has a room that includes a bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. In this case, it is necessary to make a walk-in closet and separate it a little from the bathroom by partitions or screens. This way you can minimize the noise coming from the bathroom and separate it from the bedroom.

If you have a little space in the house, it can be easily expanded. At arrangement it is better to use only folding and transformable furniture. It will take much less space and will allow more functional use of the area.

To make the space visually wider, you need to plan as many windows in the rooms as possible. They should be big. Ideal option for panoramic windows. They should also have bright frames in order to fill the room with space.

Expansion of space is carried out and at the expense of arrangement of the attic.It will increase the functional area of ​​your home and allow maximum use of it. There you can place a storage system or a room for children, a bedroom. To make the space seem wider, it is better to install windows in the roof that will fill the small room with light.

Any backlit game can expand the space. And it is better to do multi-level lighting and use natural daylight. You can change the space and fill it with freedom using the Finnish interior. As a rule, this refers to the layout of a frame house made of timber, which is distinguished by its external beauty and convenience.

To expand the house with a Finnish layout, you should abandon the corridors and at the same time combine several rooms. As a rule, for this connect the kitchen and living room. A feature of the Finnish planning project is that it includes a large amount of light.The house will have one main source of lighting and many additional points that will expand the space.

There are some ways to design a room, suitable houses in any style with any layout that will make it wider. You can make light the walls and ceiling and arrange the floor as a color accent. This method will allow you to visually lift the ceilings of the room and push its walls to the sides.

Another technique that is suitable for expanding a room to the side is a bright floor and ceiling design and light wall decoration. The room will seem lower, but its area will be perceived wider than it actually is.

You can play with the back wall, issuing it in dark shades. The room will increase in depth and width. If you add a dark ceiling to this combination, it will seem shorter, but wider.

If you want to visually narrow the room and raise its ceiling, then you need to paint the side walls in a dark color, and make the rest of the surfaces lighter. Try not to use too dark colors and surfaces for interior decoration.

Country houses often make out in classic style. It assumes a traditional design using soothing sober colors and design solutions. For finishing it is better to use light colors and shades related to pastel colors. Perfectly suit beige, sand, natural woody, milky, brown shade. For finishing it is better to use as much natural materials as possible.

Ceilings should be light to make the room taller. But the floor is better to finish with natural parquet. In this case, prints should be used only classic or make walls monochrome and decorate them with paintings. Valid for classic is a striped print.

To issue a room in english style, you can use the theme of the Middle Ages. This is a great option for houses with a bay window or a round domed cottage. Outside such a house should be elegant, it can resemble a castle.And inside everything should be filled with wealth and luxury.

This design option is more suitable for spacious private houses. At the same time use large furniture with carved and figured legs. For finishing the floor, you can use parquet, marble, artificial stone. For the walls, you can choose elegant wallpaper with silk-screen printing.

Country houses make out and in country style. The scheme of such a rustic interior can include a fireplace not only in the living room, but even in the bedroom. All items of furniture must be wooden. Brick masonry is perfect for the fireplace. At the same time it is better to place in the corner. It should resemble a large oven.

The beds are placed in the center, as is the sofa in the living room. With this layout, the most space is allocated to the bedroom and living room. The furniture should be simple and as if unfinished. It is better to use wood materials.

Private homes can be filled with light, making them Provence style. It involves the use of shades relating to pastel colors, and light unobtrusive patterns on floral themes. It is necessary to use white color where it is possible.

Private house can be finished under the modern avant-garde style. It is a combination of bright color accents. Zoning in this case is carried out in color. In this case it is better to use as many glossy surfaces as possible.

It is acceptable to combine premises with different purposes into one and divide such a spacious room into different zones with the help of floors of different levels. Moreover, the difference between them can be significant.

Furniture is better to use an interesting and fancy, perfect leather upholstery. In this case, the main thing should be a bright and calm shade, but it must be complemented by bright contrasts.

It is better to finish all the rooms in the same style. In this way, you can make a harmonious layout and create a feeling of a single space. The use of even a small number of several styles within one, even a large house, makes its interior too motley and visually diminishes.Directions can be mixed and combined, but then the resulting composition should be used in all rooms.

For the decoration of a country house or townhouse they use only natural eco-friendly materials in natural colors: beige, brown, olive, milk. But to finish the deplex, you can use bright coatings of non-natural materials.

As for the print, it is selected depending on the style of the interior. So, for more modern cottages suitable option with a plant theme, oriental, ethnic motifs. For classic interiors, you need to select a floral print or monograms.

Designers are advised to take into account a number of recommendations to create the perfect layout of the house. So, first of all, you should not forget about the possibility of increasing the family, as well as plan the approximate life of the house.

When planning, they recommend calculating the number of square meters for each family member. It is believed that optimal per family member is footage of approximately 30 square meters or more. m Moreover, typical ceilings in height with an average area of ​​the house should be from 2.5 meters, with the exception of the basement with ceilings not more than 2 m.

In small houses, designers recommend the use of corner structures. This applies to both furniture and stairs. Designers are advised to place the staircase in the hallway, avoiding its location in the living rooms and even more so in the sleeping areas.

In addition, designers recommend a layout in a certain sequence. First of all, you need to provide a place for the kitchen, dining area. After that, you need to come to the allocation of space for the living room, bathroom and toilet. After that you can plan the placement of the bedroom and children's room. Here, the remaining space can be allocated to various production areas, a dressing room and a study.

Designers divide houses into 3 levels of comfort. The first of these suggests the presence of an area of ​​80 to 120 square meters. mIn this case, more than half of it should be allocated to residential areas, while the total number of rooms for comfortable accommodation should be no more than four.

For the planning of second-level houses ranging from 120 to 170 squares, they recommend to allocate six main living rooms. In this case, the residential area will occupy about 100 square meters. The houses of the third level of comfort can be from 200 to 300 squares. And about 150 of them can occupy living rooms in the amount of up to eight, the rest of the space is separated for household premises and rooms for entertainment.

An interesting option is the arrangement of the home-ship or cottage L-type. The design will allow more convenient to place all zones and separate some of them, since there will be 2 wings in the house. A typical rule is an ideal layout - the larger the area of ​​the house, the higher the ceilings should be. In this case, the room will be more spacious and free.

Balcony and other premises, including extensions, it is better to do in a size proportional to the house. Too small balcony would be illogical to look at the background of a huge cottage.For large country houses are more suitable spacious balconies with a terrace.

An interesting option that designers often recommend to use is the installation of a lean-to roof, on which you can make a hanging platform or organize an unusual attic room.

The roof can be used as a platform for a flower bed. Another option - the organization on it a place to relax in the warm season, where you can sunbathe. This is a great solution for homes with a US layout.
