In the presence of a bay window, the sleeping corner is usually placed there, and the guest corner - in the rest of the space. Doing the opposite does not allow the area of the bay window, which is usually slightly larger than the size of a double bed.

Living room and bedroom in one room
How to allocate space
In my distant childhood, we had a studio apartment, the family had 4 people (mom, dad and my brother and I). My parents very well beat the space, they lived in the living room, and they separated our bedroom with a curtain. Of course, the layout itself allowed it to be done, the room was wide, and by the end it narrowed and deepened, which allowed mom and dad to make a wonderful nursery for us in this niche. So we lived for 6 years, until we moved to a two-room apartment. The article presents a great abundance of options, for every taste and color, I am sure that anyone who reads it can make a super compact two-piece from his odnushka. Most of the proposed, I liked the options of mobile partitions (screens, sliding), also an interesting idea, use the book rack to divide the room. But the glass partitions seem to me not quite a good option, I think they are too fragile and not suitable for this. As for styles, here I would prefer minimalism, it seems to me that this is the best that you can think of, there is a sofa, a table, a TV, a wardrobe and everything, no more trifles, they will only annoy in a small apartment.
For a single person or for a couple, this option, in my opinion, is more than appropriate. By the way, a very cool idea with partitions and with a contrast of colors, in general in this article there are more than enough options to arrange your home in this style. By the way, it should be noted that this is a very European approach and by the way in the West such style has dominated for a long time. But as soon as a family appears, I mean children already, then this dwelling needs to be left and moved to a standard multi-room apartment. But in principle, in one room to combine the bedroom and living room is a very interesting option, which is very suitable for young people and, in principle, even for young families. But of course there are so many options in the article that the eyes run up)) I’m over the most like the “wooden” style when everything is in wood paint, although without this you can find a good option in this article.
That is why in photos even such a sovdepov option of separation, as a curtain, looks stylish and beautiful ?! I saw a lot of such options, but for some reason it always looked not very good, and sometimes extremely poor. And another Soviet version - a wardrobe - looks very attractive in this article. At that time, the word “zoning” was not yet fashionable, but it was actively used because the apartments were small. And the methods have since changed little.
The combination of the hall and the bedroom is the best option with a small number of rooms. and thanks to the author for showing that it can be beautiful and modern. I liked the unusual idea of separating a bed using a fishing net. This can be done very cool. It will be necessary to try to realize in the country.
The option with drywall I personally do not really like. Better an interesting locker. Anyway, it turns out a solid surface. The only thing that confuses is that daylight in the sleeping compartment with a stationary division will be very little to read.
About saving space I know firsthand. At one time, I had to live in different apartments; in the one-room apartment with my husband, every centimeter was won. And it's not a joke. I didn’t know any great ideas of zoning of the room at that time, with my experience I got to all the details. We got a room spacious, of course, of course, but twenty squares at that time were a joy for us. However, the Soviet layout was not for convenience. How else to explain the presence of a huge arch to enter the only room in the middle of the wall. Here, try, stay here with comfort. But we did not lose heart, recognizing the element of luck. In our corner apartment, the room itself was with windows on two walls. That's great, we concluded, having blocked two-thirds of the room, high, up to the ceiling with a bookcase, we found two, albeit tiny, but separate, conventionally light, cozy rooms. Most importantly, on a small space it is wise to pick up colors in the interior, the brighter the wallpaper, or the elements of furniture, the more visually the space.
To be honest, the idea to combine the living room and bedroom never came to me, but the solution is really interesting. I have a small private house in which there is not much space and the living room remains the only place that is not as functional as we would like. It happens friends stay for the night and it is not very convenient for all of them to be accommodated in one room. And using such a solution, you can make a full-fledged bedroom from the living room at night. The main thing is that in such a space it will be possible to accommodate comfortably two couples, and these are four people. I seriously thoughtful about how to implement something like that. The main thing is to rationally distribute the space and decide how to divide the space, if necessary. I just do not like the curtains, I want to do something like a retractable partition, which is quietly removed and put forward at the right time. Grateful for the helpful idea.
