The problem of shortage of square meters is acute for many, because the dimensions of their homes are far from ideal. Therefore, it is often decided to make a combined kitchen-living room instead of a tiny kitchenette and a small hall. This design decision has confidently and permanently entered our life, because it has many advantages, most important of which is the increase in space.
In order for the kitchen-living room to be successful, it must be able to properly design and design.
Features of the layout of the kitchen-living room
It is very important to be able to correctly delineate in one room two different areas for their functional purpose: the area of the kitchen and the living room. There are a few of the most popular ways to do this. The design of the kitchen-living room can assume the presence of a bar counter, which will serve as a necessary separator. The advantages of this element of interior are obvious: it looks stylish, besides it can be used for purely practical purposes. For example, it can put dishes, drinks or a basket with cookies.
Often in old apartments, one has to demolish the wall between the kitchen and the living room, and this also needs to be done correctly. You can, for example, remove only part of the wall, making an entrance to the kitchen in the form of a large arch.
An excellent variant of planning is the division of zones by means of special partitions , which, if necessary, can be closed and opened. Usually they have a sliding or folding structure. These partitions can also be a good element of decoration, because they can be applied to a beautiful pattern or engraving.
In some apartments it is advisable to think about such a reception, as a multi-level sex. Kitchen area can be raised a few centimeters, separating it from the living room. But here you need to remember that if the house has low ceilings, the kitchen will seem even smaller. Therefore, for a small kitchen-living room with walls of standard height, a better separation of the floor with different cover. For example, in the kitchen put a tile, and the floor in the living room is made of laminate.
In general, the layout of the kitchen-living room involves first of all the dismantling of the wall between them. But with this you need to be very cautious, because in already commissioned apartments it can be a carrier. Therefore, in such cases it is necessary to contact the BTI for permission to work.
Kitchen-living room interior
It is necessary to remember the main rule, decorating the interior of this room: the style of the kitchen and the living room should be in one key. It is unacceptable if the hall is made in the classical style, and the kitchen area - in the style of high-tech or modern . As for the color range, it is even better if it is different. After all, there is an additional demarcation of zones in this way. Of course, it is better that the color solutions of the living room and the kitchen are in harmony with each other.
In the kitchen, it will be most appropriate to use the built-in furniture, which is as functional as possible and perfectly saves space. In terms of saving money, you need to think over the interior of the living room so that you can see the TV from the kitchen. In this case, you do not have to buy one more kitchen.
In this room you can buy a full dining table, which just can not fit in a small kitchen. By the way, it easily separates the zones, it is simply installed at their junction.
To avoid the appearance of smells from the food in the hall, it is necessary to take care of the purchase of a quality hood.To maximize the visual increase in space, it is necessary to design a kitchen-living room in light colors, such as beige, light pink, light yellow, lemon and the like.
