The kitchen combined with the living room is now a popular design technique, which is used not only in small apartments, but also in spacious studios and cottages.
Kitchen-living room design ideas
If you decide to combine the living room and the kitchen, then their design should be chosen in one style and a similar color scheme. And to somewhat separate the place of cooking, you can use contrasting color shades and a combination of different styles in the kitchen-living room. For example, plastic and metal in the kitchen can be contrasted with wood and cloth in the living room.
In the design of the kitchen and the living room, combined together, an important role is played by the functional zoning of space. At the same time, sharp boundaries and transitions should be avoided. The kitchen, combined with the living room, must have a complete and integrated look. For zoning, you can use a different floor covering, for example, a ceramic tile in the kitchen area and a laminate or carpet in the living room.
The different design of the walls in both parts of the combined premises is another good variant of the zoning of the kitchen, combined with the living room. In addition, an excellent separator will serve as a bar counter , which can be used for various purposes from the kitchen and the living room. Alternatively, you can build a low podium in the cooking area.
In creating a cozy kitchen-living room design, the partitions separating one zone from the other will also help. It can be a shelving with indoor plants or a false wall, a glass partition or counter that can be used as an additional workplace.
A modern and stylish look will give the kitchen-living room a LED lighting, which helps to emphasize the various functional areas of the room. It is better to set a brighter illumination above the working area, and in the rest zone the light should be soft and scattered. Correctly illuminate the room will help the built-in lamps, chandeliers and wall sconces, located in different places of the kitchen-living room.
