• Don't like cooking alone? Now you can communicate with your family and loved ones while in the kitchen.
• Cleaning after various celebrations, you will not walk from room to room, just a few steps and you are already in the kitchen.
• Savings on technology. Don't believe me? In some apartments, small TVs are installed in a separate living room and kitchen, where without entertainment. But now that your rooms are combined, you can easily afford to buy one big TV. The only question you have to answer is where to hang it?
• And for a family with small children, a single living room with a kitchen is a huge plus - now mommy can cook, while keeping an eye on her children, who frolic opposite.

So that you don't suspect anything, we will tell you about the disadvantages that the design of the kitchen and living room has together:

• In the case of a one-room apartment, the combined version appears as a large studio, where there is no place for privacy. The situation is a little better for two-room apartments, but even there, if you are a young family with children, there is a problem with personal space.
• Lack of clutter in the kitchen. Agree, sometimes you can afford not to wash the dishes immediately after dinner, not to clear the table - you always want to relax. When combining the living room and the kitchen, this cannot be allowed, the order in the kitchen area must be perfect so that you do not have to blush in front of the guests.

Agree, these are not the worst flaws that can be. Therefore, if everything suits you, then we go directly to the fact that we create the design of the living room together with the kitchen.

Room preparation

• First of all, we get permission from the relevant authorities for redevelopment.
• As soon as the paper is in your hands, we proceed to the destruction of the walls.

Note!
Before tearing down the partitions, think over the entire interior; in some cases, people leave a small part of the wall, using it as a decorative element.

• After demolishing the wall, plan out the dining and guest zones. This is very important because the interior design depends on it: furniture, color, decor materials, curtains and everything else.

Examples of stylish separation

Here are some ways to help create an original living room and kitchen interior together:

• Leaving a small part of the wall, make several "windows" in it. This option emphasizes the border between the kitchen and the living room, while making it light and fragile.

The kitchen is given a small area, which is "covered" on both sides by partitions

• Use a split-level floor option. You don't need any other "boundaries", you just need to make one step.

Important!
If there are small children in the family, then using the floor with different levels is not suitable for you: there is a high probability that the child will stumble.
Although, as an option, you can make a slide-slide, however, visually, this does not greatly paint small rooms.

• Use multiple colorsto emphasize the border between kitchen and living room. This option is easiest to do with your own hands, since gluing multi-colored wallpaper or applying paint on the wall is easier than building a second floor level.
• Put on the floor kitchen tiles, and use parquet or linoleum for the living room.

Separating floor coverings is one of the brightest options

These are not all existing methods for combined rooms of the kitchen and living room, a few more ways are shown by an example in the photo.

Interior items

As for the kitchen set and living room furniture, you should adjust to the existing framework, experimenting a little:

• It is better to combine the color of the kitchen set with the curtains in the kitchen, and select it in contrast to the upholstered furniture. The number of monochromatic shades adversely affects large rooms consisting of two zones.
• Furniture in the living room should not match the style of the kitchen set. Using, for example, a retro style in the dining area, you can stick to Venetian classics in the relaxation area.
• Using several types of lamps, try to place them so that it is bright above the table. There must be a corner where the slightly soothing light is not as bright.
• The interior of the joint living room and kitchen can be filled with many decorative elements: an aquarium, plants, paintings, vases. Just try not to overdo it.

Where to choose

It is rather difficult to decide on something, because you always want the most exquisite, and at the same time, so that the price fits into the scope of possibilities.

Here's a quick guide to help you save some money:

• Do not destroy the partition between the kitchen and the living room completely, it is better to leave a small pier.
• If you decide to install stretch ceilings everywhere, our advice is to leave whitewash in the kitchen, or mount a suspension system. Another type of space division, while you will save on the construction of a stretch ceiling.

The stretch canvas is located only above a part of the living room

• Do not use expensive materials for the kitchen, in any case, all attention will be given to the living room. It is better to organize the space comfortably in this part of the combined room.
