Recently, our fellow citizens have become more willing to independently re-plan the interior space of the apartment and look for more advantageous options. The most common experiment in this area is the combination of a kitchen and a living room, but the bedroom in the kitchen is still perceived as a completely exotic symbiosis. There are plenty of pros and cons to this combination. What is more? Let's figure it out.

Bedroom combined with kitchen

Advantages and disadvantages of the described redevelopment

What is the main problem with small apartments? The fact that they often look like a warehouse of unnecessary things. And we need this, and then, we do not use many, but suddenly someday something will come in handy. If you throw out all unnecessary things, get rid of unnecessary furniture, a space will open up that can be rationally disposed of and quite comfortable to settle down even on small square meters.

Positive sides

The original design of the combined room

Even a kitchen and a bedroom in the same room can get along well with each other.

During the day, the space of the room will be used for economic purposes, by the evening it will often freed up, the kitchen becomes the most secluded place in the apartment, so why not take advantage of this circumstance.

• The main advantage of such a combination is that the owners get one full-fledged spacious room instead of two tiny ones, in which you cannot turn around.
• If you choose the right furniture and arrange it without violating the main functional purpose, in such a room you can will receive guests, it is convenient to seat them, spend any family holiday, and then put everyone who wished to stay on night.
• It is not difficult to buy comfortable furniture, a large number of furniture factories and workshops have appeared in Russia, which take on individual orders. This option opens up endless possibilities, helps to save money, equip the room to your liking and very rationally use every centimeter of living space.

Negative points

Combined kitchen and bedroom in the house

Choosing such a combination option, it will be necessary to mentally prepare for the inconveniences that will certainly accompany him.

• Firstly, a person will have to sleep near the stove and refrigerator, there are many additional household items in the kitchen and it will be necessary to put up with this.
  To minimize inconvenience, the design of the bedroom kitchen is thought out with great care: the kitchen is necessary will be equipped so that the equipment produces a minimum of noise, is located as far as possible from the sleeping places.
  We'll have to think over the ventilation system more carefully, purchase and install view of a powerful cooker hood. Sleeping with a strong smell of soup or stewed vegetables is not pleasant for everyone.
  It is simply impossible to save in this matter.
• Secondly, the combined room must be kept perfectly clean. And this is an additional effort that not every housewife will like.
  It will no longer be possible to leave unwashed dishes in the sink and garbage in a bucket on one side overnight. On the other hand, the sleeping area should always be very clean. No wrinkled or washed-out sheets, just perfectly ironed beautiful linen, the color of which will be in harmony with the overall decoration of the room. Therefore, it will be necessary to think about this in advance.
• Thirdly, you cannot put any furniture in such a room. The sleeping place, nevertheless, should be complete, comfortable and rational. We'll have to fork out for a corner convertible sofa upholstered in practical, easy-to-clean leather. It does not absorb odors and is easier to care for.
• Fourthly, it is necessary to think over the heating system in advance, perhaps make a warm floor with your own hands, detailed instructions like this do it on the Internet, or choose more powerful and efficient radiators, hang convectors, in general, thoroughly insulate on winter.

As you can see, the principle of free space, combining two different zones is a rather bold step. This option is suitable only for those who are ready for interior experiments.

Decorative partition

It will also be difficult to implement such an idea. There are general recommendations that must be adopted by those who are satisfied with the price of this issue.

A full bedroom and kitchen in one room is a space for singles. If several people live in an apartment at once, the inconsistency of modes can become an insoluble problem. One wants to sleep a little longer, the other needs to quickly prepare food and run to work. It will also be very difficult to come to an agreement in such a situation.

Features of the combined design

Organizing a comfortable space isn't easy. A common man in the street does not know how to properly organize the arrangement of furniture. What can you advise in such a difficult question?

View photos from the portfolio of professional designers. Illustrated selections are available on any specialized site. There is also posted a video, interesting videos showing options for arranging a combined housing.

Single space of kitchen and bedroom

Considering them, pay attention to how the symbolic border between spaces is indicated. In one case, it is bar counter in the kitchen, in another, a light shelving unit or a high back of a sofa.

The difference in floor heights works well, several steps perfectly zone the space, clearly creating the boundaries of the functional zones.

Please note that the secret of arranging a common room lies precisely in the correct design of the room. A single decor with visual breakdown into rooms is what needs to be implemented.

We'll have to adhere to a single stylistic strategy in everything: both in the choice of finishing materials and in the choice of furniture. For example, when purchasing a kitchen set in the style of French Provence, you cannot equip a sleeping area using art deco trends. Do you understand the idea?

Further, it must be remembered that the bedroom is a place to relax, so the choice of colors is largely predetermined. The design of the combined space should be uniform, therefore, no flashy and bright colors.

One color, but it is allowed to use different shades, different textures and coatings. Only accented accessories that can be easily hidden if necessary can remain bright.

United space

And the last thing is lighting.

It will not be so easy to install it in such a complex space, and this is because each zone has its own characteristics.

• A kitchen is a place in which the obligatory presence of one central source is required, creating a dim diffused light. But each work surface needs additional spot lighting.
• It is imperative to hang a chandelier over the dining table, as well as highlight the hob and work surface. Make the most of the interior lighting of the kitchen set.
• And in the bedroom area there should be two lighting zones: a night light near the bed and point light sources near the cabinets. Candles or their imitation are great for both zones. The main thing is that all lamps are safe and closed, then it will be quite comfortable to be in the combined interior.

Conclusion on the topic

Summarizing all of the above, we can draw a certain conclusion: a bedroom instead of a kitchen and a kitchen instead of a bedroom is not an option. It is impossible to sacrifice one for the sake of the other, you can rationally combine two important functional areas, arrange the common space well, taking into account all of the above recommendations.

It is important to decide for yourself what is more important, to set common priorities. From this and make a start when choosing interior equipment.

The best combination

Modular furniture, in this case, will help to properly manage the space. Per facades of kitchen lockers can hide dressing shelves for clothes, and the bed can be folded and turned into a cozy sofa, which will allow you to receive guests and feed them during the day.
