For many of us, the kitchen is not just a place in a house where you can eat. This is the place where you can sit in the family circle after work and discuss the successes and victories of relatives, where you can have a cup of tea in a pleasant, friendly atmosphere. But in order for the kitchen to have seating, it is necessary to make it not only beautiful and cozy, but also functional.
What is a kitchen-studio?
Any hostess wants to reign in a large bright kitchen. But, unfortunately, in most apartments of multi-storey houses, the kitchen is a small room. To increase space, the kitchen is often combined with a room or a corridor. This will allow you to design the kitchen in accordance with modern trends or your own wishes. This type of layout is called a kitchen-studio. The decoration of the kitchen studio is much different from the usual kitchen, because it is not a separate room, it is two in one, so the interior of the kitchen studio must be in harmony with the room with which it is combined.
Before deciding to re-plan the kitchen, think. Re-planning is a costly process, both in time and in material terms. In order to decorate the kitchen-studio, you will need to demolish the non-bearing walls. This can be done only by agreeing on the redevelopment of the apartment with a number of instances, if you do not have the appropriate permits, repairs can lead to serious consequences. Furnishing a kitchen studio is not always a good option for a one-bedroom apartment, since you have to sleep near a refrigerator that constantly makes noise, you have to put up with the noise from the hood during cooking, and even the most powerful hood can not completely rid you of the odors characteristic for kitchen. Kitchen studio in a one-room apartment will be convenient only if it is rarely used for cooking - for a bachelor for example.

Interior design of kitchen-studio
Kitchen-studio is a space that performs many functions in the house - it's a kitchen, a living room, a dining room, a place for rest and even a workplace. To zoning the studio kitchen, you can use a bar rack, a partition or a screen. Part of the kitchen studio, which is intended for cooking, must be equipped with a powerful hood to protect things from smell, furniture and walls from dampness. It is also possible to separate the cooking zone with a glass partition - it does not take up much space and will save the light.
For zoning studio kitchens, modern designers use the methods of visual differentiation of space: a multi-level ceiling or podium that raises this or that part of the room, the decoration of walls of different colors, specific lighting for each of the areas of the studio kitchen.
The interior of the kitchen studio can be designed in the same style as the combined room, and in different styles. The main thing is that the styles used do not create a sharp contrast and a feeling of unreason. To make your kitchen-studio more cozy and stylish, do not forget about accessories - pictures, houseplants, beautiful decorative dishes or jars with billets.

Design of a small kitchen-studio
Even a small kitchen studio can be a great place to relax, if you think carefully about its design. With a limited space, it would be better to look at a kitchen studio with a bar counter instead of a huge dining table. Complement the design of the kitchen-studio with a bar counter high chairs. If possible, you can put a small sofa on which you can sit over a cup of tea or read a book. A good solution is a sliding table that will save space. There are many ideas, most importantly, do not be afraid to experiment, and you will be able to equip the kitchen of your dreams.
