The kitchen is usually considered the heart of the whole house or apartment. In addition to a cozy and stylish design, you should take into account all the principles of ergonomics and apply methods of zoning space.
The main options for zoning the kitchen
- Zoning the kitchen with furniture. This principle has been used for a very long time and is the main one. It is more often used angular arrangement of furniture when lockers and working surfaces are located in a corner and along two walls. Not less often resort to the U-shaped or island form.
- Zoning with the help of light consists in a brighter illumination of the working area, the arrangement of the chandelier directly above the dining table. You can also highlight the bar stand separately (it is also often used instead of a traditional table). These methods are used for zoning kitchen and dining room.
- With just one zoning of the floor and ceiling in the kitchen, it is also possible to separate the cooking zone from the food zone. This reception works well in the case of zoning living room and kitchen. Use multi-level complex ceilings, podiums and different floor coverings.
- Quite often expand the space by combining the corridor with the kitchen. In this case, it is convenient to use the texture and color of the finishing materials for the zoning of the kitchen and the hallway. The place of cooking is decorated with ceramic tile or decorative stone.

Zoning of the living room and kitchen
The combination of the kitchen and the hall is often used in new buildings and in the repair of old Khrushchev. Thus increase the size of the room itself or the kitchen. Zoning of the hall and the kitchen is carried out with the help of a bar rack or arches. Sometimes fenced off the rest area with sofas and armchairs, which are placed in a semicircle.
At the same time, the floor covering is used as a continuous one, which also makes it possible to widen the space a little. Sometimes use the most similar shades of laminate for the area of the room and tiles in the cooking area.

Zoning of kitchen and hallway
These two areas are combined quite rarely. These are cases when both rooms are very small or the kitchen is needed in rare moments for making tea. Visually, they are combined with the finishing of walls and floor, and divide into zones using lighter or darker shades. Zoning the kitchen with wallpaper allows you to expand the space and at the same time divide it.
Apply the wallpaper for painting and color them with one color of different intensity. It looks good reception, when the entire area is pasted with monophonic wallpaper, and the zone of food intake or cooking is separated by more contrasting with the pattern. Often this technique works in conjunction with light zoning.
