Especially in apartments with only a few square metres, the living room is also used as a bedroom. In one-room apartments in particular, a living room becomes a living room/bedroom. There are many ways to design the room in the best possible way. Whether it's a loft bed and a couch underneath or a partition wall—thanks to our interior designers and decorators, you'll get some inspiration to help you set up your living room/bedroom.
To ensure that the combination room does not appear disorganized, you can easily solve the problem with different colour accents and an optimal layout. The furniture can be arranged depending on the nature of the room. For example, many walls provide space for shelves and chests of drawers, which offer good storage options. With a sliding door, you can separate your living and sleeping areas very well without it feeling cramped.
Below, our experts present their projects of living rooms and bedrooms in one.
Today we're talking about a common problem. Particularly in smaller city apartments, clever planning and a good division of rooms are required. Many one-room apartments and studios mean that rooms have to be combined. You can either visually separate the two areas (with partitions, shelves, cupboards, steps, etc.) or you can hide
your bed during the day—wall beds are just as suitable as loft beds and offer similar solutions. We'll show you a few ’living room bedroom furnishing examples’ and creative living room-bedroom solutions. This makes sleeping in the living room or living room bedroom comfortable!
This expert combines the living room and bedroom in a large attic room. With beige and brown, our expert has opted for natural colours that are also timeless. The dark brown partition wall gives the residents privacy in the sleeping area. The many windows provide plenty of light on the one hand and, on the other hand, they provide privacy thanks to their high position in the room. The light brown floor makes the living room and bedroom appear warm and evokes a feeling of cosiness. The wooden beams complete the feel-good atmosphere. Brown brings warmth, naturalness and relaxation to the apartment and in no way feels constricting in this room. Thanks to the high ceilings and the spaciousness of the room, a dark floor is also no problem. The light carpet under the bed creates a harmonious contrast and also perfectly sets off the brown of the sleeping area.
Angular rooms offer many possibilities for individual ideas. Using the angular room as a living room and bedroom is particularly suitable for this project by our expert.
