Room zoning
The main “set” of functional rooms in any apartment includes a kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and hallway.
A study, children's room, green corner or gym is equipped if there is free space. Or, in case of urgent need, they arrange it in one of the available rooms.
In this case, there is obviously a need to visually divide the room into separate functional areas.

Experts distinguish two methods of zoning premises.
Features of the layout of two-story houses
Two floors in the house make it possible to strictly and clearly divide the rooms according to their functions. Traditionally, all utility rooms are located on the ground floor:
- Kitchen
- Boiler room
- Laundry room
- Garage
- Workshops
The second floor is traditionally occupied by more private rooms: bedrooms and offices.
Bathrooms are located on both floors. Their number depends on family members.
Advice. To make the house comfortable for different generations of people to live in, as well as family members with different daily routines, all public areas must be located on the ground floor. On the second floor there are only individual rooms.
Important! From a feng shui point of view, energy enters the house through the entrance and then fills the house. In order for the energy to be clean and positive, it is important to make the living room the central room on the ground floor.
As you can see from the examples of photos of the layout of a two-story house, it is this room that will become the energy and psychological center of the house and conceptually connect both floors.
Actual zoning
In this case, there must be a real barrier dividing the room.
Methods of actual zoning include:
- dividing the room using furniture (bedside tables, sofas, open shelving and cabinets),
- partitions made of plasterboard or metal,
- multi-level structures on the ceiling or floor podiums,
- decorative elements (floor vases or stands for indoor plants).
Techniques for successful planning
To make a two-story house comfortable and spacious, you should use a few simple techniques:
- Beautifully decorate the entrance with separate decor or architectural elements
- Leave room for a veranda
- Place 1-2 balconies or terraces on the second floor
- Place a wide staircase in the house with the same wide steps and railings
- Leave space for a small hall on the second floor
These simple techniques can be taken into account in any project, and they will make the house picturesque and original, where guests and owners will feel comfortable.
Conditional zoning
The method of conditional zoning of a room involves the use of lighting fixtures to indicate conditional boundaries.
The designation of different functional areas can be played up with different color shades in interior design.
The combination of materials of different textures in the decor of a room also allows you to visually highlight different functional areas.

It should be noted that there is also the option of dividing the room using curtains. It is a separate method of functional zoning of a room.
To implement certain design projects, zoning techniques can be combined in one room.
When a baby appears in the family, the issue of dividing a room into zones becomes especially relevant. As a rule, a children's corner is set up in the living room or parent's bedroom.
Total information
Here is a project for a guest house - an extension for an estate in the Russian style. The outbuilding is suitable for both housing and commercial purposes. In the presented version it consists of an apartment
S total 65 m2
S residential 36 m2
Bedrooms 2
Dimensions 8 x 11 m
This guest house project can be used to create a classic Russian estate from the MEZZONINE collection (the collection includes 6 different cottages and 6 outbuildings of various purposes and sizes)
Design of a three-room apartment
Apartment 65 sq. m. of three rooms has one serious drawback. The layout of the apartment has a large number of obstacles and a small area of individual rooms.
Not all walls can be demolished, so when planning the design of the room you will have to build on the existing project.
It is reasonable to decorate the living room in a minimalist style, providing it with the necessary minimum of furniture.
For wall decoration, simple gray plaster is used. A corner sofa in milky gray tones is placed near the window.
The center of the room is marked visually using a glass table. It is better to choose curtains in cold blue-green tones.
The kitchen is decorated in high-tech style, placing a simple kitchen set along two walls.
The kitchen is decorated in soothing light brown tones. You can use grey, black or white in the design. The interior requires additions in the form of metal or chrome elements.
In the bedroom, you need appropriate tones to create a warm atmosphere. To give the room an airy feel, it is recommended to place a hanging bed.
The headboard is decorated with original photo wallpaper. You can place a mirrored wardrobe in the corner. This will help visually increase the area of the room.
In a room intended for children, it is recommended to place functional furniture to save space. The room requires an addition in the form of bright poufs or decorative pillows.
The bathroom can be effectively decorated in black and white with lilac lighting.
