Dividing into Zones or Multifunctional Solutions
The key factor is the size of the space you have. A large room allows for creating a space divided into zones. Smaller rooms, on the other hand, usually require multifunctional solutions. In both cases, it is possible to achieve an equally interesting arrangement.
Large Space Divided into Zones
This is an open living room with a bedroom, where the living area is more or less subtly separated from the sleeping area. The function typically performed by a wall is replaced by curtains, screens, or light partition walls. All of this is designed to separate the bed from the rest of the room, including the sofa symbolizing the living area, ensuring intimacy at night and comfort or freedom to entertain guests during the day.
Some of the most fashionable ideas currently include: a rattan screen in boho interiors, a double-sided bookcase filled with books, trinkets, and souvenirs, light curtains (including canopy style), an industrial-style partition wall made of glass and trendy metal, or vertically mounted decorative wooden slats or beams.
Sofa Bed – A Living Room with a Bedroom
Due to its convenience and space-saving nature, this is the more common solution. During the day, the room serves as a living room, while at night it transforms into a cozy bedroom. A multifunctional sofa will help you combine both spaces. Today’s market offers comfortable and stylish corner sofas that make this easy. Pay attention to whether the sofa has storage space for bedding and pillows.
What else can be useful? A rolling coffee table that serves both as a coffee table and nightstand, easily moved after unfolding the bed. A sofa cover that adds decorative flair during the day. A floor lamp or string lights to create a cozy atmosphere after dark.
Inspiration: How to Arrange a Living Room with a Bedroom in the Most Fashionable Styles
Finally, here are some inspirations for those wondering how to arrange a living room with a bedroom in line with the latest trends.
One of the most popular styles remains the Scandinavian style. Bright, light, and minimalist, yet extremely cozy. Perfect for arranging a living room with a bedroom. Combine it with light floors, such as the Scandinavian-inspired Cabello Oak decor from the Smart XL collection, along with light-colored walls in shades of white, grey, and pastels.
Industrial style is a good choice for open and bright spaces, where the living room and bedroom are divided into zones. Here, the previously mentioned partition wall made of glass divided by metal frames pairs well with dark, grey-toned curtains. Add light-colored walls but a dark, cool-toned floor, such as Cordoba Oak from the Expert collection.
An interesting and fashionable move is to create a living room with a bedroom in an eclectic style. A unique blend that highlights individual accents is a trend that is gaining momentum. Here, you can incorporate vertical wooden slats or a rattan screen, industrial lamps, colorful throws, and other stylish accessories.
