1 BHK Designs

A 1BHK is a house with one bedroom, one hall and one kitchen. The house has a structure or spatial planning with one room as the bedroom while the other as a hall or living room. But depending on your style of interior design, you can convert the space in the hall into two sections: living room and dining room. You can also define these two areas with a movable partition if you have the space. The kitchen in a 1BHK can have either an open or closed layout. An attached bathroom usually comes with the bedroom or the hall area

Because a 1BHK has limited space, you can use interior design hacks to arrange your 1BHK flat. Here are some ways in which you can define and arrange your 1BHK flat:

1. Use colour as a tool to make your space look bigger. Go for lighter colours — a classic white and cream combination can make a 1BHK look spacious and airy 
2. Invest in modular multifunctional furniture that multiples the storage option in your 1BHK. For example, use a multipurpose TV unit with storage, use divan beds, buy wardrobes with loft storage and multiple drawers.
3. Go for all things minimal and use only the pieces of furniture required to keep your place spacious and airy. 
4. Use the vertical height of your place for storage with floor-to-ceiling wardrobes, tall shelves and racks, 
5. Make use of an open layout in your 1BHK to check the flow of traffic in the house.

You can design a 1BHK living room with an open layout so that you can quickly move around the space. Here are some other valuable interior design hacks for your 1 BHK living room:

1. Use modern furniture such as sectional sofas in larger seating areas instead of old-school sofa sets that are bulky. 
2. Use a multipurpose TV unit in the living room that’s built with multiple shelves and racks for storage.
3. Define your living room sitting area with a soft colour carpet and a sleek chandelier or a pair of pendant lights.
4. If you are adding a dining table in your living area, separate it from the living room with some visual demarcations like floor carpets instead of using partitions that may cramp your place.
5. Use a centre table with storage so that you can keep the area organised and clutter-free.
6. Add an accent wall in your living area to break the monotony of the colour scheme; you can add some wall hangings behind the sofa to decorate the accent wall.
7. Use light colour curtains and a natural colour scheme to enhance the spaciousness of the living room.

Furnishing a 1BHK can be a tricky business because there will be limited space in your house. Hence, you should follow this thumb rule: Keep things light and minimal. Besides this, here are some other tips for furnishing a 1BHK flat:

1. Use minimalistic and multifunctional furniture sets to multiply storage options.
2. Go for light and easily movable furniture pieces like a modern sectional sofa, a light armchair, a modular wardrobe, etc. 
3. Use a light colour scheme with minimal decorations. You can use an accent wall with simple wall decorative pieces like disc plates, a round mirror, etc. 
4. Use neutral colours so that your space looks breathable.
5. Invest in furniture that comes with hidden storage to keep your place organised and clutter-free.
6. Invest in a modular kitchen design with loft cabinets and modern innovative storage cabinets to multiply storage.
