An apartment of 60 square meters - is it a lot or a little? Let's just say that this is enough for a comfortable stay for a full-fledged family, since the presence of such space allows you to organize it in any convenient way. This is a large number of opportunities for the implementation of both ready-made and individual projects, in which you can realize literally any fantasy. That is why it will be important to talk about how to create a design project for an apartment of 60 square meters , about the important nuances of this process and about what the owner of the apartment will have to face.
The best layout of a 3-room apartment
In a three-room apartment, at the design stage, important attention must be paid to the common areas: kitchen, hallway, toilet and bathroom.
Rooms can be furnished as a last resort, especially if there is a shortage of funds for a full renovation.
It’s good if the apartment has additional rooms in the form of a balcony, loggia, or storage room.
These rooms can be perfectly adapted for additional storage systems for those things that the family uses irregularly.
We are furnishing a two-room apartment
Design of a two-room apartment of 60 sq. should be developed based on several factors:
- how many people will live;
- allocated budget.
If a family with one child (several children) will live in the apartment, it would be more rational to designate one room as a nursery, and the second will be a combined bedroom for the parents and a living room. It is better to decorate the interior of the rooms in different colors, adding similar elements: chandeliers or lamps, the same fabrics for textiles, frames for pictures (wall drawings), the same flooring for both rooms. This approach will make the apartment design complete. Combining the kitchen with one of the rooms will create a single space. If you are confused by the fact that the bed will be visible to guests, simply separate it with a sliding partition or partition-shelf, and the problem will be solved.
If parents do not agree to use their bedroom as a common room, a combined balcony and kitchen will be the solution. This way you will increase the area of the latter and be able to create a full-fledged corner for receiving guests.
For a married couple without children or one tenant, one room is allocated for a bedroom, the second for receiving guests.
Peculiarities
One of the features of a three-room apartment is the presence of passage space. In modern houses, the layout of 3-room housing has become very convenient thanks to high ceilings.
Such housing in Khrushchev's five-story buildings is often subject to independent redevelopment. The reason for this is the small areas of separate residential and non-residential areas, passage rooms, etc.
It should be said that if you have a certain imagination in design and the desire to somehow transform your home, you can always create a unique and inimitable design and layout from seemingly familiar and standard apartments.
For example, one of the options for such a design may be to attach a glazed balcony to the common living area by insulating it and demolishing part of the wall.
It should be noted that when choosing three-room housing, the greatest demand is for premises with separate and isolated rooms from each other. In general, among the typical layouts of such apartments, one can note a wide variety of options: adjacent, mixed, isolated, open (studios).
Based on the placement of windows, linear apartments, “vest” apartments and end apartments are distinguished.
Modern standard layouts of three-room housing are often subject to individual changes. To do this, they often combine several rooms, a room with a balcony or a room with a corridor.
How to choose a style for different rooms
Design of a functional and spacious apartment of 60 sq. m is performed in different styles. Individual rooms are decorated depending on the taste of the owner, options are selected from a photo or developed with a designer. If the apartment is one-room, the interior is chosen in the same style, but individual zones are distinguished by color, light, or separated by partitions.
It is also common to design two and three room apartments in one direction. However, since the spaces are separated from each other, designers can experiment with color or even change details between different rooms. Before starting work, owners ask how much it costs to renovate an apartment and how much to expect. It depends on the skills and agreement with the designer. After all, if you order furniture according to individual sketches, its cost will be higher. However, even standard versions of wardrobes, beds or sofas are often used, since the area of an apartment of sixty square meters is spacious enough to accommodate even large objects.
Classic
The classic style involves many small details, large chandeliers, heavy fabrics and a combination of light colors with rich dark ones. A more modern interpretation involves replacing some of the materials with less expensive ones, which helps save on apartment renovations. However, when choosing this direction, the height of the ceilings is taken into account - if it is less than three meters, the style looks out of place.
Modern directions
The design of this century is less demanding in terms of conditions. For example, in the loft style, savings are expected on finishing materials - the walls remain untreated, the brickwork is visible. The minimalist style is also practical. Thanks to the meager set of furniture, the apartment is 60 sq. m remains spacious, even if the three-room option is chosen.
Ethno
A more cozy modern design style. Thanks to details, color accents and bright scenes, an unusual space is created. Handmade decorations add a special touch to the apartment. However, to understand how acceptable this option is, look at the photos of finished projects.
Options
One of the options when choosing a new three-room apartment is the layout for the comfort of large families. The best option in this case would be to purchase a studio with an open plan.
Indeed, in this case, 100 or more square meters. m. you can arrange several rooms for each family member.
In modern improved series of three-room apartments, they are currently trying to design isolated rooms, balconies or loggias in each room and combined bathrooms.
One of the options for old-type housing is a complete redevelopment with the demolition of non-load-bearing walls. In this case, you can change the functional purpose of the rooms and expand the space of the premises.
In this case, several options are often used. One of them is the transformation of a room into a studio, the other is a partial combination of two adjacent rooms, for example, a living room and a balcony. Also, during a radical redevelopment, they try to make all the rooms isolated from each other.
In three-room housing, the purpose of each room depends on the number of people in the family and on the working conditions of each.
If one of the family members works at home, then in this case such housing cannot be done without a work office. The sizes of three-room residential premises can vary from 56 to 80 or more square meters. A small apartment occupies 60-63 m2.
Location of rooms in “new buildings”
Currently, the bathroom is usually located next to the kitchen room. Also, modern layouts can use an open type of housing, when there are no rooms isolated from each other, which may not be entirely convenient.
The area of three-room apartments in modern new buildings has certainly become larger than in the old apartment stock of the 80s and 90s. They now have spacious balconies or loggias.
Three-room housing can also have a corner location. In this case, one of the rooms becomes a passage and is usually turned into a living room. In this case, such an apartment is often redeveloped.
Often in new houses, premises are rented without partitions, providing future owners with spacious studios with the subsequent layout of such housing at their discretion.
It is impossible not to mention the Czech standard layout of a three-room apartment. It is very thoughtful, but lacks originality. Although in this case you can always make a redevelopment, since not all the walls in it are load-bearing.
The peculiarities of such an apartment are storage rooms and cramped corridors. The standard area is 64 m2. But balconies and loggias are usually made large.
Currently, modern apartment buildings can accommodate a wide variety of room arrangements. New types of layouts for three-room apartments are constantly appearing, which makes it possible to satisfy the most diverse tastes of future apartment owners.
In panel houses
One of the common layouts for a panel house is a three-room walk-through apartment.
Also, old standard layouts in panel houses, with the help of experienced designers, can always be turned into something new and modern, radically changing the appearance of the apartment.
As for apartments in five-story Khrushchev buildings, they are now trying to choose a more comfortable redevelopment. For example, a closet in such an apartment is turned into a dressing room for the hostess.
Another option is to make a studio apartment out of a Khrushchev building.
Partial combinations of rooms are also used, for example, a balcony with a bedroom or a kitchen with a living room. The floor in such an apartment is changed using tiles and removing the old wooden covering and screeds.
One of the interesting options is the redevelopment of a standard three-room apartment in a nine-story building into an apartment with a combined kitchen-living room and two isolated rooms.
In one of the rooms, the area allows you to build a mini-dressing room, and at the dead end of the resulting corridor you can fence off a small storage room.
It should be noted that three-room apartments in five-story buildings were not entirely successful in design. Adjacent rooms and small areas of the premises were not very comfortable. Therefore, at present, to improve living conditions, a radical redevelopment of the apartment is used.
Options for redevelopment and zoning in three rubles
Remodeling a three-room apartment can be quite difficult; some standard layouts are practically not subject to change due to the location of load-bearing walls or long corridors, as well as columns or simply a small area. Nevertheless, we have collected for you current and successful layouts with practical ideas that you may like.
Layout of a three-room apartment with a combined kitchen and living room
In this redevelopment option, the kitchen (8 sq. meters), living room (20 sq. meters) and hallway (7.6 sq. meters) were combined into one room, which turned out to be very spacious and with two windows. In the nursery and bedroom, loggias were added to form an office and a playroom. The bathroom has been expanded to include one of the bedrooms and now has both a bathtub and a shower. The kitchen set is placed in such a way that the sink is opposite the window, which is very convenient, and the TV area is built into a niche.
Layout of a three-room apartment with two bathrooms and an open kitchen-living room
This practical 110 square meter three-room apartment layout has two bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The kitchen does not have a window, but is designed in American style - with an island and a dining area for four people. In the living room, the doors to the balcony are designed in the format of slider doors with floor-to-ceiling glass.
Layout of a three-room apartment with a laundry room
Another option for redevelopment of a three-room apartment is implemented in an interesting format. In the place where there used to be a kitchen, there is now an additional guest toilet and laundry room, and in the place of the hallway there is a kitchen unit. The kitchen and dining room are combined. On the plan, on the right side of the apartment there are two bedrooms, each with a bathroom and built-in wardrobes. And in the living room there is a large loggia decorated in a patio style with a sofa and a summer dining room.
Furniture arrangement plan for a three-room apartment with an area of 70 square meters
This layout of a three-room apartment is quite typical for new buildings in Moscow. The living room and kitchen were combined, in place of the hallway there was a room for an electrical panel, which doubled as a dressing room. There is also a dressing room off the master bedroom and a guest toilet.
Open plan treshka
Another successful layout of a three-room apartment has a dressing room in each of the bedrooms and two bathrooms. Such an expanded format was made possible by placing the kitchen in the hallway area and eliminating the corridor as such. Now there is only a passage area between the kitchen and living room, on both sides of the island.
Layout of a three-room apartment with a long corridor
The problem with apartments with long corridors is that it is often very difficult to remodel them, since there are not so many options for the arrangement of rooms. But in this version, both bedrooms have built-in wardrobes, the owner has a separate laundry room and an open-plan kitchen-living room, and the hallway now has a built-in wardrobe.
Layout of three rubles in Khrushchev with an area of 54 square meters
In this case, a three-room apartment in Khrushchev became a two-room apartment. The 6 square meter bedroom, which in some cases in five-story buildings is also a storage room, was made part of the main bedroom, which now has an area of 15.6 square meters.
Functional purposes of rooms in a 3-room apartment
Let's begin to consider the functional purpose of the rooms, provided that a family of 4 people will live here: two adults and two children.
In this case, it is most rational to allocate one room as a common living room, the second as the parents’ bedroom, and the third as the children’s room.
This is the best option, which involves creating individual areas for each family member. There are unusual cases when, for example, one of the parents works from home. Then it is important to allocate one room for an adult’s office.
It's not the best option to deprive your family of a living room, but if there is no other option, you have to make these sacrifices. Although the office can be placed on an insulated loggia, for example, if there is one.
This is great when a secondary room can be tied to an important function, and this is illustrated by vivid examples in various photos of the layout of a 3-room apartment.
Design of a 3-room apartment 60 sq.m. m – magic or painstaking work?
Creating a design project is by no means a spontaneous process. This is a thoughtful work consisting of many stages using such “tools” as artistic taste, boundless imagination and the ability to accurately understand the Customer’s aspirations. An exclusive interior made by the designers of the A8 studio is an example of just such work, the result of which becomes an ideal compromise between beauty and functionality.

Layout in a panel house
In panel houses, we can often observe rooms in a 3-room apartment that are extremely disproportionate in size. Usually there is the largest room here - 16-20 meters, and two small ones, 12, 10 meters each, or even less.
In principle, this area is enough to place a children’s room in the largest room, a living room in the middle one, and a bedroom for the parents in the smallest one. But there may be other accommodation options.
It will be lucky if all the rooms in the apartment are separate and not adjacent.
Remodeling a kitchen in a three-room apartment
When remodeling a three-room apartment, the kitchen area is usually changed. Indeed, a mini-kitchen with an area of 5-6 m2 is not capable of performing all the functions assigned to it. But in this place we work, preparing delicious dinners for our loved ones. In addition, at dinner, when the whole family gets together, it becomes simply impossible to be in such a small room. It is logical that many people decide to expand their kitchen space.
If your house is 121 series, then most likely you can go to the balcony from the kitchen. If so, then rejoice! Using the balcony space, you can significantly enlarge your kitchen.
After good insulation and glazing, you can install heating on the balcony, remove the door and window opening, thus uniting the balcony and kitchen.
Also, you will no longer be able to use the balcony for its intended purpose: it will become inconvenient to reach distant ropes by leaning out of the window. Don't be afraid of such discomfort. After all, your kitchen in a panel house was probably miniature: 6-7 m2. Add to it 2-3 meters from the balcony area, and you will be surprised how much more comfortable it has become to be in it.
As a result, you have a fairly large room. Place an electric stove, a refrigerator and a kitchen set on the balcony - this is your cooking area. Directly in the kitchen itself, place a wide table, as well as a soft kitchen corner - after all, the area of the room now allows it!
When there was a bulky concrete window sill between the kitchen and the balcony (as in the 75 series houses), do not rush to remove it. Dismantling is quite complicated; you can spend more than a day on this task.
In addition, you will also need to remove construction waste and finish the walls, and these are also expenses. For this reason, some owners of such apartments find a new use for the window sill - they use it as a kitchen table. Place a neat tabletop on it, which can be decorated to your liking or covered with washable wallpaper or oilcloth. This way the resulting table will fit perfectly into the overall space.
Next question: what to do with the wall separating the kitchen and living room (corridor)?
It’s worth dismantling it if you want to expand the space, which is catastrophically small. If not, then you can create an aesthetically decorated opening in the wall. This will make the kitchen and living room visually larger, and this will definitely please the owner of the apartment.
However, do not forget that most often such a wall is load-bearing. If you live in large-panel nine-story buildings of the 90 series, you may be denied permission to redevelop a three-room apartment: you will not be able to change or weaken such a wall. Just carry out the required cosmetic alteration of the space, based on your own preferences, an example can be seen in the drawing.
Under no circumstances should this structure be destroyed, since it carries a mass of hundreds of tons. Otherwise, this can lead to disastrous consequences and destruction of the entire house. However, if your apartment is located on the top floors, the load on the load-bearing wall will be less.
If you live on floors 7-9, it will be easy for you to obtain permission to redevelop a three-room apartment. If not, then be prepared for difficulties in this process.
One way or another, if you are planning to demolish a load-bearing wall or make an interior window in it, you will have to compensate for the load-bearing capacity of the wall using a metal profile.
Successful layout of a children's room in a 3-room apartment
It is very important for parents to create especially comfortable living conditions for their children. Therefore, a lot of attention is paid to the arrangement of the nursery. After all, in fact, in this room it is necessary to combine several functional rooms in one.
So, here it is important to create a comfortable area for sleep and relaxation (i.e. bedroom), convenient places for developmental activities and preparing lessons (i.e. office), and also, importantly, a sports corner and play area (gym and games room). ).
So it turns out that four need to be placed in one room at once - that’s a lot, no matter how you look at it.
That is why parents often sacrifice the largest room for this purpose, especially if there is more than one child in the family. This allows you to create with a great deal of convenience all the necessary areas for children to fully develop.
Layout in brick houses
In brick houses it’s just the opposite; quite often you can find adjacent rooms. This often leads to some inconvenience, especially if the third room, which is located separately, is the smallest.
In this case, you can allocate a distant adjacent room for a child’s room, place a living room in the nearest one, and a bedroom for the parents in a separate room. But not everything is so rosy when there are very young children in the family. Then there may be other options.
Redevelopment of a 3-room apartment
If redevelopment is needed in the apartment, it is best to legalize it in advance. The fact is that in houses of the old building, redevelopment is often cut down at the root, and there are very good reasons for this.
Dilapidated foundations often simply cannot withstand numerous redevelopments by apartment owners, as a result of which houses quickly become unusable, cracks appear in the walls, and in the worst cases, even building collapses are possible.
Therefore, if you want to carry out redevelopment in your apartment, it is better to obtain permission before it begins, because then such housing with unauthorized redevelopment will be impossible to sell.
The most common redevelopments in 3-room apartments are the combination of a bathroom (which is not always justified), as well as the demolition of partitions leading to the loggias. Due to the latter, you can significantly expand the space of the rooms, make them more spacious and functional.
Features of the design of horizontal and vertical surfaces
Wall coverings.
A 3-room apartment has a huge space, which means it has a large number of different planes. You can create the effect of a volumetric space by decorating the walls using the Venetian plaster technique. The composition of natural minerals ensures that this finish is resistant to dirt and various damages. But this type of wall decor is very expensive. Therefore, wallpaper, paints, and plastic panels are popular in decoration.
A combined living room with kitchen will be an excellent solution
Large mirrors on the walls will make the room visually larger
To create a cozy atmosphere in a room, wallpapering the walls is perfect. Decorative panels can add color variety and embody sophisticated design ideas. Moldings can become additional elements of creativity. In modern interior styles, designers mainly use moldings made of polymer materials: polyurethane and plastic. They can be used to make platbands for doors and windows. If the shade matches the color of the window frame, it will visually increase the size of the window.
Round mirrors in the form of plates on the wall are a great idea for decorating a bedroom.
A large round mirror in the bedroom looks very unusual
Wooden planks with beautiful lighting will perfectly complement the living room design
Floor coverings.
The floor design can be made using various materials. Cheap ones are easy to care for, while expensive ones may require special attention.
Linoleum is an inexpensive, environmentally friendly and easy-to-care material, produced in various colors and patterns with imitation of natural materials: stone, tile, parquet.
Laminate is a strong and durable coating that imitates valuable types of wood. Laying laminate flooring, unlike linoleum, is more labor-intensive. This coating creates a warm, cozy atmosphere.
There are a lot of kitchen design options
A brick wall in the bedroom with lighting will perfectly complement the design
Modern layout ideas
Often in modern 3-room apartments, young families follow the new fashion of combining the hallway area with the living room. In many cases, this is completely justified; it allows you to expand the living room space and visually makes the apartment more spacious.
But in this case, it is necessary to carefully consider functional storage systems closer to the front door, where you can immediately hide outerwear and shoes, which clearly do not add an aesthetic component to such an interior.
A modern 3-room apartment allows you to create comfortable living conditions for a family with children, provided that all premises will perform their assigned functions.
An example of renovation of a three-room apartment in the style of modern classics
This renovation project for a three-room apartment was created for a family of three. The layout of the premises is designed in such a way as to isolate them from each other as much as possible. The living room is separated from the kitchen and serves as the main room. The apartment has two sanitary facilities.
An example of a design made in the neoclassical style, comfortable for both children and adults. An important aspect that received maximum attention was the color scheme of the interior of the three-room apartment.
Living room
- The room is designed primarily as a TV room. It has the correct shape. Seating is organized using a soft sofa group located in such a way as to create conditions for maximum comfortable viewing. The furniture itself has smooth contours and is decorated with decorative pillows. Tapestries with floral patterns are also used in the interior.
- The furniture, represented by a coffee table, a corner showcase and a TV stand, is white and made of lacquered wood with gilded relief details. The entire composition is deployed around a table with a transparent tabletop located in the center of the room.
- The general ceremonial mood of the interior is emphasized by the presence of paintings framed by white moldings and mirrors in gilded baguettes. The dark floors and walls, painted in dark brown tones, contrast beautifully with the white facades and open areas of the walls, equipped with white decorative elements. The transition is emphasized by wood panels covering the lower part of the walls.
- This example of a turnkey renovation of a three-room apartment shows the possibility of organically integrating textile window design into the overall interior. Warm beige and brown tones of tulles and curtains, as well as the presence of folds, emphasize the soft and cozy style of the setting.
15 layout options for a three-room apartment
For a large family, every centimeter of space and its proper use will already play an important role in maintaining peace and spiritual harmony.
Regardless of whether an apartment was purchased in a new building or there are reasons for redevelopment of an old one, many people wonder how best to organize the space.
When planning an apartment with two separate bedrooms and a common room, provide space for the whole family and private corners for everyone. An open floor plan and combination, such as a living room and kitchen, can help you unify the space, but leave room for privacy as well.
Either way, the good news is that you have quite a few options.
Option #1
Arrange a cozy corner on the loggia for drinking tea or working. And in a children's bedroom, a bunk bed instead of two separate ones will solve many problems. More space for games, while each child has his own area to relax.
Option No. 2
The successful layout of this apartment provided every room with a window. Be sure to take full advantage of natural light, which is beneficial for your well-being and mood. Only technical rooms, such as a pantry or hallway, can be left without light, but not a bedroom or living room.
Option #3
Even in open-plan rooms, proper zoning cannot be avoided, helping to get the most out of the space. Use rugs and lighting to separate the seating area from the dining area in the living room. Screens and shelving are suitable for highlighting a workspace in the bedroom.
Option No. 4
If you don’t need a nursery yet, and you found space for a dressing room somewhere else, use the second room as an office. Set up the perfect home office for business or a creative corner. But also put a sofa just in case, so that you have somewhere to leave unexpected guests overnight.
Option #5
The courtyard or loggia adjacent to the living room is actually an additional room in the warm season. Treat it accordingly - provide lighting, arrange a place to rest. But if autumn and winter are cold and rainy, make sure you have somewhere to put away your outdoor furniture.
Option #6
If you live with friends, a common living room and two separate bedrooms are a very good option to have both privacy and a chance to have a party together. If the bathroom is adjacent to only one of the rooms, queues in the morning cannot be avoided.
Here, every couple has a spacious bathroom, so getting ready to leave will be easy and pleasant.
Option No. 7
A small room adjacent to a spacious bedroom is an excellent option for a family with a growing child. This way he will have his own place to play, relax and study. But the parents are very close if something scares you at night.
Option No. 8
If the apartment has two levels, then leave the kitchen and living room on the ground floor. On the second floor it is logical to place the master bedroom for maximum privacy. Ideally, there should be a bathroom on both the first and second floors - a master and a guest bathroom.
Option No. 9
This apartment has an interesting layout. In fact, there are two wings, and each has its own bathroom and dressing area. Very convenient for a large family.
Option No. 10
The large open plan living and dining room combined with the kitchen, and even with a patio, creates a lot of options for use in this apartment. Ideal for crowded parties with culinary delights - it’s very convenient to cook for guests here.
But the master bedroom with its adjoining wardrobe is comfortably isolated from the main noise.
Option No. 11
A bathroom with an unusual shape can be a problem at first glance. But this is the price of its rather large size. Place a shower or corner bath here, and there will be room for both a washing machine and dryer.
Option No. 12
Placing a dressing room next to the bedroom is a more common option. But if you arrange it in the hallway, you can find a lot of advantages. For example, this way you can calmly get ready for work without disturbing those who have to get up later.
Option No. 13
Bedrooms should be located as far as possible from noise sources. For example, it would be better if at the opposite end of the house there is a living room with a TV and a kitchen with working appliances. For optimal silence, bedroom windows should not face the street with active traffic.
Option No. 14
As the family grows, the guest bedroom turns into a children's room. Do you still need somewhere to accommodate guests? Place a comfortable sofa in the living room that can be folded out for sleeping.
Option No. 15
Sometimes you really want to separate the dining area from the living room. For example, using visual zoning techniques - thoughtful lighting, placement of furniture and carpets. And in the summer, simply arrange joint lunches and dinners on the balcony or in the patio.
Zoning options
Project of a spacious apartment with a space of 60 sq. m is organized depending on the wishes of the owner. There are separate storage areas, a bedroom and a living room. Sometimes a children's room is provided. If the apartment is 60 sq. m of the old layout, the owners combine the bathroom and, less often, the kitchen and living room to increase space.
On an area of 60 sq. m design is planned differently. Zoning depends on the initial parameters. In older houses, the problem is narrow hallways. To make the change, internal partitions are demolished and new ones are erected. In this case, the designer will offer many options with a photo of the project, and the apartment owner will choose one.
For kitchen
Depending on the size of the kitchen in the apartment, the design and color are selected. By choosing, for example, glossy light or pastel colors, the owner will receive the effect of visual expansion, but practicality will remain in last place. The dark matte bottom of the set will give the furniture a feeling of static, and the light top with mirror or glass surfaces will fill the space with air. The photos of real designs show how practical the solution is.

For the living room
To create a living room interior, choose a large room and create a space for relaxation in it. It is important to plan two or three zones at the same time. For example, provide a workplace that is separated from the main room by a shelf or a static screen. The partition is used as a divider between the dining and living areas. Such forethought will help accommodate a company of 5 to 10 people.
To bring your intended design to life, you will need to know the secrets. For example, using multifunctional furniture will turn the living room into a playroom or dining room. It is worth adding only two or three poufs, which, if necessary, can be converted into chairs. A convenient sofa option that expands by moving pillows will help accommodate a group, providing space for each person. Sofas with a modern design use armrests: they are used as bookshelves, stands, coffee tables. In this case, transforming models are used.
Sometimes, for additional expansion, a heated balcony is attached to the living room. But a more convenient design option is when it is used to make a storage area or office. Thanks to the demolition of the partition, the area of the apartment and room increases, and an additional functional area appears.
For the bedroom
Sometimes the bedroom is a separate room with a storage area. In this case, the design includes a wardrobe or a spacious closet. In this case, the sleeping place is located either further from the window, or natural light sources are covered with thick curtains. If the sleeping area is a small space separated by a partition, then you won’t be able to fit anything except decorative shelves and panels. However, the apartments are 60 sq. m, the latter option is rare, since the space allows you to create a separate room.
For children's
The children's room must be safe. The design of the apartment is 60 sq. m walls and ceilings are decorated with soft wallpaper or decorative coating - liquid plaster, for example. It is noticeable in the photo that small spotlights built into the ceiling and walls are more often used. This helps avoid injuries during active games. In the radiator area, apartment designs include designer panels to also reduce the possibility of damage.
For the bathroom
To increase the area, the bathroom is combined by demolishing the dividing wall. However, the apartment is 60 sq. m, you can create a guest restroom if the pipe system allows it. This project provides for the guest room to have an accessible position, otherwise the meaning of such a design solution is lost.

Variety of Soviet layouts of 3-room apartments
In accordance with the type of houses and their territorial location, several types of p-3m layouts are distinguished. The ability to arrange rooms separately depends on the year the building was built and its material.
The square footage of a three-ruble panel in a Khrushchev building is very meager. The rooms are small and inconveniently located.
Thin walls and a shared bathroom have a negative impact on the popularity of this placement. But some old buildings boast quite spacious halls, long corridors and high ceilings.
In Stalin
The construction of such houses began in the 50s. Five-story brick buildings with an improved layout were considered high-status housing at that time. They were erected throughout the Union. They could be seen in Minsk, Gomel, Orel, Kharkov, Bobruisk and other cities. The main characteristics of a 3-room Stalin apartment are a high ceiling (3-4 meters), separate bathroom, isolated rooms.
The area of the apartment depends on the number of floors of the building.
Basically they have three floors. Features include wide window sills and storage rooms. Floors can be concrete, wood or mixed. The advantages include a convenient location, mainly in the center of large cities, and good sound insulation.
In Khrushchev
Such houses were built from the late 50s until 1980. During this time they were refined and modified. The layout of 3-room housing in early versions was not comfortable. The ceilings were low and the rooms very small.
The walls of the five-story panel buildings were poorly insulated, the rooms of the high-rise buildings were adjacent and had a small square footage.
At the end of the 70s, active construction of 9-story Khrushchev-era apartment buildings began under a special program of 53 sq.m. Buildings made of brick and panels began to be improved; ceilings reached 2.64 m. Due to the removal of the load from internal partitions, it became possible to redevelop rectangular rooms.
In Brezhnevka
Medium-sized 3-room apartments were considered improved Khrushchev-era projects. They were distinguished by large windows, the presence of niches and mezzanines in the corridor or above the interior door. The area of all premises is from 48 m2 to 56.2 m2.
The advantages of this type of building include good waterproofing of the bathroom, predominantly brick construction, and the presence of spacious loggias.
Some Brezhnevkas have an improved layout and have been renovated. In tower houses the kitchens are very large. Their area is up to 10 m2. A narrow hallway can be made functional and visually enlarged with a built-in wardrobe. If living conditions can only be increased through redevelopment, all actions must be coordinated.
Having received the appropriate permission, you can make elite, comfortable housing from old Brezhnevka, combining several rooms.
When planning the demolition of walls in the bathroom, you need to understand that all plumbing items must remain in the places determined by the architect at the stage of drawing up the drawings. Otherwise, there is a high risk of flooding.
Layout in modern buildings
Modern layouts in monolithic new buildings differ significantly from the layout in Brezhnev or Khrushchev buildings. The rapid development of construction has had an impact on the quality of real estate being built. Walk-through rooms are rare, and corner apartments have good external insulation.
There is enough free space to create various functional areas in many series of houses, for example, 515/9ш, 504, 511, 464, 467, ii-18/12.
Advantages and disadvantages
The layout features depend on the type of building itself. A modern apartment of series 100, 135, 103, 119, 1605, 602, 121, 137, ii-49 can look like a studio, a partial studio with one partition, or a “vest”. The advantages of this arrangement include the following factors:
- High level of comfort. In many apartments, living rooms do not border elevators or garbage chutes;
- Open layout in new buildings allows space to be distributed at the discretion of the residents;
- Convenient location of the kitchen. There is no mandatory connection to the location of household appliances and gas stoves;
- Simple remodeling procedure. From a three-room apartment you can easily turn it into a two-room apartment without approval from the BTI;
- Possible two-level layout, panoramic windows, balcony-terrace.
The main disadvantage of the 65.4 layout in modern houses is its inconvenient geometry.
Often there are rooms in the form of a trapezoid, with corners, round walls on one side, columns and other features. The disadvantages also include a non-functional and uncomfortable hallway. Due to the large number of doors to different rooms, it is difficult to use and furnish it with furniture.
