Design of a living room combined with a kitchen
If you examined all the disadvantages and also the shortcomings and leaned to the decision to perform one room for guests from the kitchen from data from the data of 2 rooms, then it will be necessary to completely or partially remove the wall – you need to obtain a resolution for redevelopment. Next, you need to calculate and make the interior design of the new guest. Plus, take into account the total area of the premises, the height of the ceilings, the required number of lighting sources, interior items and furniture,
In a selection of living rooms, combined with a kitchen, a photo of the designs of which you see, entail harmonious solutions, unusual combination of the living room and kitchen rooms. You will not like some ideas. Others will arouse your imagination
When creating interior design, you should not forget that the kitchen is a room for cooking food, storage of foods and a place for washing dishes. The guest room is a room for taking food at a common kitchen table, a place of communication and rest of the whole family and reception of guests. Each family participant must be convenient, comfortable in this room. The composition of the families is different. And when designing a living room, it is necessary to provide for the preferences and specifics of your family
Recommendations and general rules for zoning
And so that the main thing when creating a comfortable guest is to choose a common style of rooms, harmonious and cute in its own color palette and connecting these two rooms. And make the right separation, given the practical characteristics of the kitchen living room and zone.
No need to select fairly bright and opposite colors. Let everything be fine in a single color palette, only with a shade to allocate these two rooms.
For example, to perform the floor and ceiling of each territory with different design, as well as highlight this with the level of ceilings – to perform hinged multi -tiered ceilings. In the kitchen area, place the ceiling a little lower than in the reception area. In the reception area, a stretch type ceiling will look great. Here you should not lower the ceiling down, because this room must be large and extensive.
And mark these territories by lighting or ceiling light sources built into the attachment system. In addition, the territory of the kitchen must be well -lit.
Lighting the living room can be combined. Separately, a huge chandelier illuminate the center of the room. The premises of the guest is different -functional, and therefore it is necessary to add lamps for the ceiling around the perimeter or a mash wall with a soft glow.
Of course, it is possible, and the level of gender of the kitchen territory is a little raised, to fulfill a kind of podium, under which you can even hide some kind of communications, gender with heating. Then this unusual step will be better for security to highlight the backlight.
The combination of materials for wall decoration: wallpaper, tiles, plasters for decorative work, various combination of their texture and color helps properly zoning the guest zoning. The walls of the zone for working in the kitchen area near the panel and sinks are advised to be lined with tiles of tiles or a specialized panel.
You can divide the kitchen area and living room using a rack for the bar. The variety of which makes it possible to choose the premises appropriate for the design.
An excellent solution may be a bar for a bar made of part of the left wall, which was between the living room and the kitchen. In it you can still perform shelves, niches – from the side of the kitchen used for accessories for the kitchen, and with guest – for vases, figures, gifts for decorating a guest.
Cabinets of guest or kitchen, which are even of different heights, again visually divide these two territories.
This role will be perfectly played by the sofa deployed by the back towards the kitchen. Then the kitchen part of the room will not be seen sitting on him or the guest or the guest and what is done there.
The task of separating the premises is also performed by the use of different coverage for the floor. For example, tiles made of tiles or ceramic granite are better for the kitchen. Because these materials of the rack to humidity have a good surface, which will hold repeated wet cleaning. And for the living room, such comfortable materials as parquet, linoleum or laminate.
Gosteria floor carpet – again, an excellent addition of the interior and the allocation of the recreation area.
A glass stand or a huge aquarium on the border of the territories of the living room and kitchen will not only be interior decoration, but also make a differential role.
A great solution for dividing the living room from a combined kitchen is sliding doors. During cooking and washing the dishes, they can be moved for a while so that the noise and smells from the kitchen do not apply to the entire room.
Glass screens look great. They play a similar role, like sliding doors, but visually do not decrease the space of the room. Designers recommend using curtains and racks for zoning.
Furniture for guest, combined with a kitchen
All furniture for this diverse room should be in the general style. The magnificent kitchen set is obliged to fit into the general living design – carefully consider the photo. Pick up furniture for kitchens correctly – this is very important:
Cabinet doors must be opaque closed type.
It is not necessary to be open hooks for tacks and towels – they must be hung in a closed cabinet.
Open shelves again do not have to be. All products and kitchen supplies should stay in closed lockers.
All equipment for the kitchen, including the refrigerator, must be built -in.
Surfaces for the work of tables must be impeccable quality.
The hood must be strong enough.
Plumbing must be reliable.
If all these requirements are fulfilled, then the kitchen furniture will replenish the interior of the guest, performing harmony with the exquisite design of the entire room. Further, we will start the selection of furniture for the guest. She must be in the same style as the kitchen. The kitchen table must be quite vast so that there is enough place for all family participants. A great option is a transformer table. For example, a table that is converted from dining to a magazine. For a small room, the console table is again suitable, one end of which is fixed to the wall. In addition to a magnificent outdoor appearance, this furniture must be comfortable, because it is for rest
Excellent variations of the living and kitchen connection
