Kitchen-living-dining room design (51 photos) in the finished project

It is not easy to organize three functional areas in one large space at once and combine the design of the kitchen - dining room - living room. And all because it is difficult to choose a certain stylistic solution that allows you to create an overall harmonious picture.

Those who dream of realizing such an idea on their own can be advised to look at the finished project and figure it out on its example. Highlight the main nuances that set the right design accents.

Original interior-living-dining-kitchen

It is important to note that when forming the design of a common space, you need to understand that it implies a large redevelopment of existing premises. So such an alteration must be supported by all the necessary permits that have legal justification.

Note!
It is better to contact the relevant authorities in advance, which will help you legally arrange the planned redevelopment.

All the pros and cons

Of course, such a constructive solution will give a lot of positive moments.

• First, the result will be one spacious room that will not lose its functionality.
• Secondly, the feeling of isolation that every housewife feels when retiring in a tiny kitchen will disappear. An open space will allow you to chat, watch TV, meet guests and at the same time do your household chores.
• Thirdly, the combined space opens up other design possibilities: the interior of the kitchen-living-dining room can be implemented using original architectural techniques, those that previously could not be implemented in a small-sized apartment.

Organization of the combined space

For some, such a decision will be an additional incentive to keep the space in an exemplary order. If earlier in a closed kitchen clutter was invisible, it will no longer be possible to hide sloppiness here. Therefore, when deciding on redevelopment, this circumstance must also be taken into account.

In fairness, it is worth noting the shortcomings that the kitchen-dining room-living room has. Even a powerful hood will not be able to prevent the spread of smells of cooking food or stale debris. Any "aromas" will instantly be absorbed into textiles and upholstery of upholstered furniture, into carpets, and it will be almost impossible to remove them.

And one more important point. In an apartment where a large number of people live, such a layout will not allow organizing a personal space for everyone.

Children will not be able to do their homework in silence while the adults watch TV in the living area. Someone will not be able to work at the computer, trying to concentrate on the report, if cutlets are curling nearby in a frying pan. So, it is important to think about such circumstances in advance and take into account all the pros and cons of a full-scale redevelopment.

The style of minimalism is most suitable for the interior of the type described. How to combine all functional areas correctly? How to arrange them in the same style? What solutions can you use? Let's figure it out.

Design features

In a combined space, it is necessary to competently dispose of the usable area and fit three zones on it, clearly identify them, but at the same time combine with one color scheme.

One color solution

Kitchen

Of course, more attention should be paid to the kitchen. The main thing is to immediately determine the size and limit the space allocated for it, visual partition between kitchen and living room.

It can be:

1. Bar counter.
2. Podium.
3. Transparent light screens.
4. Furniture racks.
5. Architectural protrusions, volumetric details made of plasterboard.
6. Using different finishing materials for walls and floors.

Remember that the main design strategy has been determined - a single minimalism style has been chosen, so all decor details must comply with this concept. Nothing superfluous, all the lines are graphic, there is a clear layout of furniture arrangement.

Occupying one part of the central wall, the kitchen set is able to absorb everything: panel cabinets with built-in appliances in the corners, the working area is linear, the sink can be moved under the windowsill, and most of the upper storage areas can be moved under the frame of the bar counter (see. also kitchen-living room with bar).

She has high chairs that will help complete the logical chain of kitchen space design.

Kitchen area

Dining room

Furniture in the dining area should not overload the space; it is better to choose something similar in color and texture to the material from which the kitchen set is made. The dining room path will not be massive and bulky.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the transformer furniture, which allows you to use the available space more mobile. If guests come, a small round table can easily turn into a large oval tabletop, behind which everyone will fit.

It is good to place furniture not in the center of the room, but against the wall. Decorate it with bricks or wallpaper, the color of which will be a tone darker than the rest of the room decoration. This technique helps to define the clear boundaries of a given functional area and focus on it.

Above the table, it would be appropriate to look at some panel assembled with your own hands. Today it is easy to independently make an exclusive accessory from scrap materials. And it doesn't matter that its price will be low, the main thing is manual work will ideally fit into the existing kitchen and living room interior.

It is not difficult to divide the common space into functional zones with the help of structures made of plasterboard and placed on the ceiling. So, for example, spot lighting may appear above the dining area, the layout of which will be hidden under a decorative oval.

How to implement this, will tell you step-by-step instructions posted on our website, or a detailed video that is attached to it. A complex ceiling always looks quite advantageous in any version, and even more so with a combined kitchen-dining room.

Dining area

Living room

The living room is the last zone, they go to its design last, tying, complementing and duplicating in the designated space all the elements used in the decoration of the other two functional areas.

What does it mean?

1. The wall decoration here will be the same, but the color is one tone lighter.
2. All furniture stylistically should match the furniture placed in the kitchen and dining area. The same shades and tones, colors and textures and the obligatory presence of similar elements: drawers, accessories, textiles, dishes - everything that can form the feeling of a single space.
3. It is best to purchase one set of furniture, or order its kitchen, dining room and living room furniture from one manufacturer. Then the interior will fit perfectly into a complex space.

Living area

Note that the border between the living room and the dining room is often created by an upholstered sofa group.
Therefore, it is important to think in advance how the back of the back of the sofa and armchairs will look like. It is advisable to substitute bookshelves or any other decorative console for it.

Color solution

Choosing the right palette plays a big role in the design of the room being described. Here you can safely experiment in various directions. But it is necessary to take into account the main nuance - to find a balance between practicality and functionality.

When choosing dark wallpaper for walls, you need to buy light furniture. And vice versa. For large rooms, you cannot choose wallpaper with a large pattern, they will cause unpleasant visual sensations. It is better to give preference to delicate small ornaments, and all the time to use different shades of the color scheme of finishing in the implementation of the textile decoration of the room.

This is the most effective technique for helping to achieve the formation of a general picture. The professional portfolio of designers, the photos posted in it, once again prove the correctness of this judgment.
