Separation of any room into separate functional zones will help create a unique and convenient interior. Even the smallest room is significantly transformed by zoning.
The ideas of the zoning of the room
Most of the citizens of our country live in small apartments, and this, as a rule, is fraught with the lack of comfort and functionality in the room. But such a problem can be successfully coped with zoning.
When it is planned to divide the room into zones, the age and requirements of each family member are necessarily taken into account, as well as the appointment of each individual zone. The dimensions of the functional sectors directly depend on the personal “mission” and the alleged number of “visitors”.
Before proceeding directly to the zoning of the room, you need to think in advance the presence of lighting devices and sockets in each zone. It is likely that it will be necessary to move them or add some more.
The main features of zoning
The division of the room into zones implies several important nuances:
· First of all, the room should turn out to the maximum functional and comfortable. Therefore, zoning should be thought out to the smallest detail;
· In addition to this, it is advisable not to overload the interior of each zone with excessive decor and furniture elements;
· Functional zones should conveniently communicate with each other, without delivering discomfort to family members. If someone needs solitude in connection with work or poor well-being, then it is advisable to equip a “dead end” non-passage zone.
Popular options for zoning the premises
There are many options for distinguishing housing, but today we will discuss some of the most popular of them.
The first idea of zoning the room is the use of furniture to indicate functional zones. For this, beds, sofas, various decorative partitions, book shelves and the like are best suited. Experts advise first to draw up a plan for the location of the furniture and only then proceed to active actions. Zoning furniture is selected taking into account the purpose of a particular zone and the type of separation of the room (symbolic or actual zoning).
Another good option is zoning with screen, curtains, partitions. For example, for such purposes, light partitions of drywall or plexiglass are often used. Folding original screens are ideal if there is no desire to radically distinguish between neighboring zones.
To designate functional areas without blocking space, it is better to apply wallpaper, flooring, lighting devices or different levels. Uneven lighting, different colors and different textures of materials visually zonise any room.
