We separate the zones in the apartment using the color of the decor, walls, and floor.
1. Wall color zoning
The most popular way of zoning an open space is using the color of the walls. With its help, you will clearly define the boundaries of different zones, add comfort to them, or create a working mood.
Kitchen and living room
In studio apartments and ordinary apartments, where the kitchen is combined with the living room, it is not always possible to install a partition or large furniture such as a kitchen island or bar counter to separate one from the other. The easiest way to save space and draw a border is with the help of wall color. You can simply paint half the room one color and the other half another. Or try to make a smooth flow, select furniture so that it echoes this division.
Work area and area for rest and sleep
If you have to work or study at home, it is important to visually separate the work area from the rest area. This helps you get ready for work and makes the interior more thoughtful and complete. If you are combining an office with a living room, try decorating the walls next to the table in cool shades, and the rest in warm shades. Cool colors make us brace ourselves, while warm colors, on the contrary, make us relax.
If the office is combined with a bedroom, use a transition from light to dark. It’s easier to fall asleep in a dark bedroom, and going into a light area will make you more alert.
Space for every family member
Zoning with color allows you to highlight personal space for those who share the same room. For example, visually separate the men’s half of the bedroom from the women’s. Instead of going neutral and impersonal, try decorating your space in everyone’s favorite colors.
When several children live in one nursery, it is very important to give everyone a sense of personal space. You can divide the room using each person’s favorite color or decorate the boy’s and girl’s areas in traditional shades.
Don’t forget to designate an area for play, sleep, and study so that it is easier for children to switch gears and avoid distractions.
2. Zoning with floor color
Another way to zone a space, if you don’t want to make multi-colored walls, is to have different floor coverings. It doesn’t have to be one material of different colors; you can design a transition from tiles to wood or carpet.
Hallway and living room
If the hallway immediately goes into the living room, it is important to mark the boundary between them. This is not always convenient to do using the color of the walls; try to show the transition with a different floor covering.
Common area and private
This allocation is relevant for studio apartments. It helps guests understand where the hosts’ private area begins, which they should not enter. It can also be used to highlight small areas, such as work or reading.
3. Zoning with decor color
If you’re not planning a renovation or don’t want to paint your walls different colors, try emphasizing different areas with decor colors. This is an interesting solution even for an apartment in which each room has its own role.
