Advantages, disadvantages of combining

The combination of a living room with a kitchen, like all types of redevelopment, has its advantages and disadvantages.

Positive sides:

  • there is a lot of free space;
  • you can make functional areas - working, dining, recreation;
  • in the combined room there are two windows, which makes the kitchen-living room lighter;
  • easy to change the shape of all the rooms of the apartment.

Negative points:

  • permission to redevelop;
  • suitable for a one-room apartment, if one or two people live in it;
  • the presence of odors from the kitchen area, the sounds of household appliances;
  • as the dining area will be in the hall, orders will need to direct a little more.

In order for the space to look uniform, the color, stylistic design, accessories, and textiles must be well combined with each other.

    

Redevelopment options

There are several ways of remaking, combining a living room with a kitchen:

  • demolishing the entire wall is possible only if it is not capital. The wall between the room and the kitchen is completely dismantled, the living room is increased by the entrance hall. The working part will be located in the alcove niche, the dining room - between the windows, the living room - in the hall of the apartment, "Khrushchev". It is very effectively used a couple of meters of the corridor;
  • partial demolition of the wall - remove 50-70% of the partition. The working area is located along three walls, the dining area is near the windows, on a wide window sill, with a bar counter adjacent to it;
  • in place of the door - the wall. The doorway leading to the kitchen is completely closed, the entrance is made through the living room, the working area gets a bit bigger due to several meters of the wall;
  • partial partition - the wall is completely demolished. A new one, but not a whole one, is being erected, in the middle, parallel to the windows. At the same time, the working space is extended, the living room is separated.

On the place where there was a wall, they often make a big, small arch, which is especially well combined with a sofa or a rounded set.

    

Competent zoning of the combined space

Zoning is done using:

  • furniture items;
  • various shapes, ceiling heights;
  • podiums, steps;
  • different wall and floor finishes;
  • carpets;
  • screens, screens;
  • lighting.

Furniture does not need too much - the room is not so large. The set is mounted from the back of the sofa, wardrobe, dividing the hall and kitchen. The bar counter separates the dining area from the place of rest.

With the help of height differences of the ceiling, the floor area is also easy to separate. A sofa or a dining area will be located on the podium; it is less convenient to have kitchen space on it. Each level of the combined ceiling, workplace, eating area are highlighted separately.

The living area in the combined room is allocated a carpet that neatly unites everything that is in the room, therefore it stands out rather large - from each of its edges to the walls should remain 15-20 cm.

If the suite occupies all three walls in the kitchen, the walls are practically invisible - only the apron, which is trimmed with plastic, glass panels, tiles are laid on the floor, but different from the one in the hall. The living area is then decorated with wallpaper of one or two colors, decorative plaster.

Screens, screens, plasterboard partitions are used if it is required to organize an office, a wardrobe, a separate sleeping place in the living room.

    

Color spectrum

The smaller the area has a combined room, the lower its ceilings, the warmer shades are necessary for it. If, moreover, there is little natural light penetrating through the windows facing north, then the colors are acceptable maximum light. When the room is very spacious, with a ceiling not lower than 275 cm, the windows facing south, southeast use colder, more saturated colors.

It is recommended to use at the same time two or three colors, of which the main will occupy 60-65% of the territory of the room. The most popular combinations:

  • beige with chocolate;
  • ocher with emerald green;
  • sand with dark olive;
  • brown with mother of pearl;
  • amaranth with red-purple;
  • thistle with maple;
  • sky blue with sunny yellow;
  • indigo with turquoise gray;
  • pastel-gold with brown-black;
  • apricot with purple;
  • metal with wenge.

Gradient color transition from one zone to another is an original, bold decision that can become the main highlight of the interior. The darker part of the space should be lit more brightly, copiously than the light. Daylight is also counted.

A monochrome room looks dull, lifeless, therefore it is necessary to add a small amount of bright details from it.

    

Lighting

The working area is most brightly lit - it should be convenient to cook here at any time of the day. Even if it is decided to place it at the window, where most of the day there is sunlight, the height-adjustable source of artificial light is still necessary. When placing a dining area near the wall, it is illuminated with a wall lamp, and a lamp on a long cord is hung above the bar counter. On the sides of the sofa put floor lamps, if there is a closet in the hall, a dressing table with a mirror, a mini-cabinet, they are also highlighted sufficiently.

In addition to local illumination, adjustable brightness, is the main overhead light - one or two ceiling lights. Decorative lighting headset on the perimeter of the top, bottom, inside the glazed cabinets, will add to the interior of the mystery, solemnity.

Additional illumination of the perimeter of the floor of the entire room will allow you not to bump into corners, not to wake the rest of the tenants, if you need to get up at night.
