The design of the kitchen-living room should represent a holistic interior ensemble that combines several functional areas in the form of a cooking area, a cozy dining room and a meeting place for guests. Using different stylistic techniques, it is possible to achieve the inner harmony of the space and make the composition a single one.
A number of basic nuances:
Before connecting rooms, you should pay attention to the advantages and disadvantages of such a solution.
| pros | Minuses |
|---|---|
|
It turns out to plan a single spacious and bright space in which several functional areas are located. |
Smells and sounds of the working kitchen process will penetrate into the recreation area. To partially solve the problem, you will need to install a powerful hood and purchase silent household appliances. |
| A small kitchen, due to its combination with an adjacent room, provides a convenient organization of a dining area next to the work area. | Combining rooms is a labor-intensive process that requires competent project development, organization of work for dismantling or moving walls, as well as obtaining approval for redevelopment from special organizations. |
| Consolidation contributes to a significant reduction in traffic in a house or apartment. | |
| While cooking, you can communicate with family members or guests who are in the hall. | The room needs more thorough and frequent cleaning. |
The kitchen and living room must fulfill certain functional tasks. Kitchen area divided into three sections, a seating area and a dining group are organized in the hall.
Despite some imbalances and not too attractive appearance, there are ways to elegantly decorate a rectangular room. In an elongated and long room, the semantic center should be highlighted and all attention should be concentrated on it.
It is better to place furniture and household items in one line and leave the parallel wall free. The U-shaped layout will organically fit into the room, which uses corners and saves useful meters.
The photo shows the design of a rectangular kitchen-living room in white and beige tones.
An island type of layout is suitable for a square room. Due to the arrangement of furniture in small groups, it turns out not only to take into account all the design features of the kitchen-living room, but also to clearly plan the space.
The furniture can also be installed near one or two parallel walls using the peninsular, U- or L-shaped method.
The photo shows the layout of the combined square-shaped kitchen-living room.
The main design idea in a room with two windows located on the wall opposite the doorway is symmetry. Any style will fit into the kitchen-living room setting, which assumes the presence of symmetrical details and structures.
It is better to furnish the interior with custom-made furniture and kitchen sets.
In the photo, the design of a spacious kitchen-living room in modern style with two window openings.
The plan of a room with one window opening requires additional lighting. Pendant lights, spotlights, chandeliers and built-in light sources are installed in the area of the stove, sink and above the countertop.
A glass partition is ideal as a zoning element, which will provide unhindered penetration of light into all corners of the kitchen-living room.
In the photo there is an elongated kitchen, combined with a living room with one window opening.
Such a planning solution is versatile and fits well both in a small studio apartment and in a huge apartment. The open type of layout gives the room a sense of spaciousness and freedom.
The photo shows the interior of a studio apartment with an open-plan kitchen-living room.
The kitchen-living room of an unusual shape is distinguished by the presence of one, two or more atypical corners. In order to balance the wrong layout, space zoning is performed. In a trapezoid-shaped room, you can highlight functional areas with a contrasting color or design a podium. Furniture items and shelves built into niches will help create standard right angles in a triangular room.
In the photo there is a kitchen-living room of a non-standard trapezoidal shape.
For the conditional delimitation of the room, upholstered furniture in the form of a rectilinear, corner sofa or a pair of armchairs is installed on the border between the zones.
A dining group with a dining table and chairs can also act as a zoning element. This functional segment will not only help to divide the space, but will also contribute to the correct planning of the location of the headset in the kitchen area.
An equally popular design technique is zoning using a kitchen island. Such a design will not completely block the space and interfere with free movement.
Another convenient way represents a bar counter that can simultaneously act as a dispensing table and a work surface.
In the photo, zoning with decoration in the interior of the kitchen-living room.
A variety of decorative partitions will perfectly fit into the interior. For zonal division, the installation of sliding glass doors, bamboo screens, plasterboard, plywood and wooden structures or shelving.
At the intersection of two zones can also be hung blackout curtains, light curtains or curtains made of beads.
If the layout of an apartment with a kitchen-living room is large and assumes a high ceiling, zoning can be done by means of a multi-level ceiling or floor design. To create clear boundaries, the kitchen area is placed on a low podium or allocated using a lower tension or false ceiling with built-in lighting system.
There are universal shading solutions that can give the interior of the kitchen, which turns into the living room, a truly stylish and fashionable look.
A discreet and light scale visually enlarges the room. Use smoky, cream, beige and other delicate pastel palettes. A stylish kitchen-living room in white always looks fresh and airy. Thanks to the various variations of the snow-white shades, you can make the design more interesting.

Muted and warm tones make the environment clean and tidy, calm and have a relaxing effect. Such color solution especially suitable for a small room with an open plan.
Saturated combinations are always relevant. They make the interior more dynamic and original. Bright spectacular accents on a light background will favorably emphasize the design features of the combined kitchen-living room.

Elegance and lip dark shades allows you to create a noble interior filled with comfort and coziness. Such a palette will also help to equalize the color imbalance in the room, which is distinguished by non-standard sizes.

When renovating the kitchen-living room with the help of cladding, it turns out to visually zone the room without violating the overall style, and also, thanks to correctly selected finishing materials, take into account the features of each functional area.
The living room and kitchen area have completely different requirements in the design of the floor, therefore, two types are selected for decoration floor covering... The kitchen segment can be laid out with practical tiles with a straight or rounded transition to laminate or parquet, located in the guest area.
In the photo there is a kitchen area with floor tiles passing into the laminate in the living room.
Plastic panels and other washable materials are suitable for the kitchen. The apron zone is allocated using ceramic tiles that can contrast in color with the main wall covering. Thus, the working area takes on a more expressive look.
In the living room, the surface of the walls is pasted over with wallpaper with or without drawings, laid out in stone, brickwork or decorated with panels with a 3D effect.
In the interior of the kitchen and living room, combined together in one room, a multi-level system with built-in lighting is often installed. The ceiling can be made in white or have a specific color scheme for each zone.
In the presence of two windows in a room, many designers recommend choosing an original asymmetrical design, however, a traditional interior often involves the same drapery of window openings, which combines two different spaces.
Examples of the arrangement of the kitchen combined with the hall.
In the design of the kitchen-living room, the sofa mainly acts as a zoning object and is installed with its back to the cooking area.
For a small premises will do an angular or straight model, which is installed near a perpendicular or parallel wall from the kitchen area.
The photo shows a modern kitchen-living room with a leather sofa with an ottoman.
The design, first of all, should be convenient, and also have enough storage space in the form of boxes and shelves. It is better to choose a model with a closed facade that has a simple design. Beautiful sets can be placed on open shelves or you can purchase a stylish showcase.
The set is installed near one wall, they prefer a U-shaped structure or a product with the letter g. With a sufficient amount of space, an island with a work surface and lower cupboards is placed in the center. This module can also be supplemented with a dining table.
In the photo there is a linear set with an island and a dining group in the interior of a large kitchen-living room.
When choosing, you should focus on the style of the two zones. It would be appropriate to equip a small-sized kitchen-living room with compact furniture in light colors or a transparent structure. The round will harmoniously fit into the interior dinner table which, thanks to its shape, looks more lightweight.
In a spacious room, the table is placed near the wall or placed in the center. To do this, preference should be given to elongated rectangular models.
In the photo there is a kitchen-living room with a table located behind a low partition.
Loft-style design involves the use of brick, stone, concrete finishes and metal materials... The presence of open communications in the form of wiring, pipes or ventilation system... This design does not comply with the standard rules, but it is distinguished by clarity, minimalism and comfort.
A very popular solution for creating a functional and cozy kitchen-living room is the Scandinavian style. The decoration is characterized by light shades and natural materials. White color prevails here, which is diluted with accents of black, gray or Brown... The room is decorated with discreet décor, photographs, paintings, carpets or plants.

In the interior of the kitchen-living room in a classic style, the prevalence of expensive materials in the form of stone, wood, exquisite ceramics and plaster stucco is appropriate. The premise assumes the presence of large windows and high ceilings. The seating area is furnished with furniture with chic fabric or leather upholstery and decorated with elegant accessories, a cream, beige or brown wooden set with household appliances from retro collection.

Small kitchens are present in most apartments built in the 60s and 70s; a large family and guests cannot gather at the same table. If the guest room is small in size (which is not so rare), then it is also difficult to install festive table and invite many guests. The design of the living room combined kitchen is needed in several cases:
All these factors contribute to the growing popularity of the combined kitchen-living room.
The fashion for such projects appeared in America and France in the 70s of the last century. Gradually, the rationality of such a model was realized on all five continents, including Russia. Free space (if the ceilings are more than three meters) makes the living space, indeed, more comfortable.
When creating a project, one should take into account the fact that premises can perform many different functions, this has both positive and negative sides. The apartment grows significantly in size, which most often cannot but rejoice. This is especially a positive fact for people living in "Khrushchevs", where the rooms are extremely small.
An increase in the living space in 80% of cases is still associated with an improvement in the quality of housing.
For example, lovers of kitchen gatherings in the spirit of the 60s of the last century can refer negatively to this phenomenon. Housewives who love to "conjure" near the stove are also unlikely to be delighted with such a redevelopment.
It is important to understand at the very beginning that if the wall between the kitchen and the living room is load-bearing, then the project will not work. The load-bearing wall is taboo, and no supervisory authority will give permission to dismantle it. If the homeowner decides to go against these rules, then he will face costly litigation, fines and the restoration of the wall as it was originally.
Of the disadvantages of demolishing the bulkhead, you can remember, first of all, that all the smells during cooking will spread throughout the apartment.
It is possible to mitigate such consequences by installing a powerful hood. But household appliances can interfere with watching TV.
If the homeowner does not have construction skills, then it is better to entrust the drafting and development of the project professional people... You can find an analogue that impresses, and take it as a basis as a "starting point".
On the fingers or a schematic drawing, it is really difficult to explain to a specialist: what should be the apartment after renovation. Two illustrations (or even one) are quite enough for the future performer to understand what the customer wants.
If you choose the difficult path and start doing the project yourself, then this undertaking can be crowned with triumph (which is rare). A homeowner can acquire a new profession by making renovations in accordance with their ideas of beauty and style.
In any case, it is important to choose the right color scheme. To do this, you should clearly understand the purpose of each of the zoned areas. The following factors are also important:
These basic factors are the cornerstones for creating the right style.
Hi-tech is always distinguished by straightforward and uncompromising lines. The characteristic of this style:
Such a design is ideal for young people under 35 years old who have an interesting high-paying job, follow the world of fashion and innovative solutions in the technical field.
There is no place for monograms and pretentious figures in hi-tech. The presence of even walls (brick, concrete) is acceptable, they may not even be plastered. The doors are most often sliding. All lamps are "hidden" in the walls and drywall. Furniture is clad with metal panels, becoming an organic continuation of the walls and floor.
There is an abundance of technology in the living room and kitchen, so such a style solution may be ideal. Due to the reflection of light from the metal, the room "moves apart", it becomes more voluminous.
The classics are returning to the fashion catwalk and this is good news for the classicists. Now he unconsciously affirms the "holiday of life" of the Renaissance and optimistic harmony.
Classic style due to the traditional excesses in the design, it can effectively create the illusion of more light and volume in the room. He requires above all original ideas and solutions.
Often furniture and accessories are made according to special projects. This style is appropriate in large rooms, the design implies a general stylistic load. There are many subspecies of the classics:
Minimalism as a style implies free space. What designers call "the presence of air." At the same time, the minimum amount of furniture should be in the room; in this regard, there should be no excesses.
In any case, if even the partition is to be demolished, then the approval of the design project in the supervisory authorities, the written permission of the BTI will be required. It does not matter how many square meters there will be in the room: 24 square meters. m, 40 or 18.
Before seriously thinking about drawing up a plan, it is recommended to meet with a person who has been professionally engaged in apartment renovation for more than one year. Good advice will always be needed during the renovation process.
A square or rectangular area of the kitchen and living room can be decorated in the same style, but there are good options and different style solutions. Let's consider the algorithm of actions.
First of all, you should definitely make a plan diagram on drawing paper. Mentally "put" the furniture where it will be after the repair, indicating this fact on the drawing.
As zoning tools are usually used:
And also has a great variety color palette... It may not be worth “painting” the kitchen in radically burgundy tones, but using various soft shades for the kitchen and living room is quite a reasonable decision. Excessive contrasts of colors are also pretty tired of the eyes, here it is most rational to choose the golden mean.
If the construction of a private household is still at the project stage, then it is not difficult to “do it on paper” in advance, and then implement the combination of the kitchen and living room.
Modern 3D programs allow you to depict a future room on a computer and even choose the color of wallpaper and tiles on the floor. Things are much more complicated in the case when the house has stood for more than a dozen years, in this case it makes sense to contact only people who have experience working with similar projects.
You should find out in advance how intact the communications connected to the kitchen are (in general, are they all available). It is imperative to plan places for new outlets, the wiring will most likely have to be changed. If desired, the kitchen can be "squeezed" to a minimum size, then one large living room will appear, which sometimes looks very impressive.
First of all, high-quality lighting gives originality to the room.
There are various layouts that allow you to effectively transform the space, "narrowing" or "expanding" it. Here are just a few of them:
It rarely happens that new owners who have bought an apartment are satisfied with the old layout. Often, drywall "helps", with its help you can hide communications, make two-level ceilings etc. All this is only part of the solution to the problem, albeit a very important one.
Reasonable layout of household appliances and kitchen furniture plays an important role. For example, kitchen utensils and household appliances can be placed in niches in the kitchen. All this can be "disguised" with doors stylized as living room furniture. Thus, a monochromatic "landscape" will appear, in which the kitchen will become an organic continuation of the living room.
In any case, you should adhere to the old postulate that there should be three objects at arm's length:
You can place them in the corner near the window, in this case they will look compact. The breakfast and lunch table is most often located in the living room. In general, you can see that combining kitchen and living room is an art. You can spend a lot of money without achieving the desired result. You can also implement a humble a budget option and it will look great.
To make repairs original and cheap, you should adhere to the following postulates:
In recent years, furniture has been actively made from pallets. If the wood is well processed (primed and painted), then shelves, tables and much more can be made from pallets.
Before getting down to work, it is definitely recommended to draw three-dimensional sketches of the kitchen-living room on the computer. It is not expensive, but then it will be 80% clear: is it worth it, in general, to take on such work, you can spend a lot of money and time without getting the desired result. Sometimes it's enough to be humble cosmetic repairs, and do not touch anything.
The combination and layout of the kitchen and living room area significantly increases the usable area of a small-sized apartment or house, and also transforms the area beyond recognition, allowing more design solutions to be brought to life. Of course, before approaching the redevelopment process, creating a new interior, you should prepare well and know for sure what you would like to get in the end.
Is it always appropriate to combine the kitchen and guest areas? When is the desire to remove the intermediate wall fully justified? It makes sense to change if:
Zoning methods
Raising the kitchen a little to the podium will give you an interesting design move.

A little more about how to illuminate the kitchen and living room area
The kitchen area, due to its functionality, requires particularly careful lighting - countertops, hob, lockers.
There are many ways to plan functionally opposite zones. Let's continue the list.
Read about auspicious symbols in the kitchen in Feng Shui.

The bar counter - classic, modern, high-tech and so on - is the most popular way to distinguish between the kitchen and the dining room (living room). It is convenient to serve breakfast here for hastily drinking tea, preparing dinner and so on. Usually, a part of the wall is used to install the countertop, or a special partition is built of wood, stone, brick. The stand-alone lighting above the counter creates a curtain effect that adds coziness to the interior. There are a great many options for the bar counter, all of them are functional, aesthetic and acceptable. It is important to decide in advance with.
An island can only be arranged in a large kitchen; in a small one you simply will not have enough space.
Options for arranging furniture after repair
Clear boundaries between the kitchen and the living room can be made with furniture, removing the walls.
Dining room-kitchen. Here strict lines and elongated wardrobes dominate - they seem to support the vertical axis of the interior, moreover, they delight with polyfunctionality. In this version, there is no clear boundary between the kitchen and the living room: the work surface may well serve as an island-style dining table.
The combined layout of the kitchen-living room makes high demands on household appliances. First of all, do not save on the hood - in order to avoid mixing odors, it must be powerful, with an air vent function. The main criterion for choosing household appliances for a combined kitchen-living room is noiselessness. No one wants to flinch from a refrigerator motor suddenly working. Alternatively, the equipment can be hidden in lockers, which will solve two problems - noise and interior. Read how to choose a good chipboard worktop.
The more harmoniously the equipment fits into the overall interior, the more comfortable the residents will feel in it. The choice of colors also depends on the taste of the owners: for example, a white refrigerator will be out of place in a high-tech metal kitchen and the same living room. It is worth noting that in a combined kitchen you cannot do without an air cleaner, you just need to know.
Combined zoning involves the use of built-in technology - this applies equally to the recreation area.

Here is a photo of some options for the layout of the kitchen-living room
even a tiny kitchen will not seem like this in a combined room
Not all styles can be used in a combined room. Modern styles are best suited here.
But even in a private house, a combined room can look very unusual.
The layout of the combined kitchen and living room area is not something outrageous and impracticable. On the contrary, such a solution, private project carries many positive aspects, for example, ergonomics, convenience, the embodiment of design proposals. As in any other business, planning should be approached responsibly, having thought through all possible options in advance.
Development modern technologies, bold design solutions intertwined with practicality and comfort that are fashionable today. They led to the emergence of such a solution as "kitchen living room".
This is the territory of the kitchen and, accordingly, the living room, which are combined together in order to give more volume, functionality and style to the living space.
It is especially important to use such a design solution, especially for living quarters that are cramped in the area.
By combining two premises into one, the following goals and objectives are achieved:
The advantages of such a solution will come just, by the way, for the owners of apartments and houses with a small area.
For example, many rooms have poor layout or small size... Expansion of the usable area due to the adjacent space allows you to solve many problems.
Opportunities open up for the installation of more spacious headsets, larger sofas, decorative elements.
In addition, there are excellent opportunities to give the room a unique and original design.
except good design, such a room will allow you to hold family holidays and events with a fairly large number of people. Agree, small, isolated rooms cannot boast of such a thing!
But the most significant plus will be a freer layout and a general sense of space and freedom, even in small one-room apartments.
This fact will have a positive effect on the internal state of a person and will allow large families to optimize and improve their living conditions.
If with small volumes everything is logical and understandable. Why then, the owners of more spacious objects, resort to similar techniques in terms of combining the living room and kitchen?
The answer lies in the same functionality, style, design, and most importantly in the possibility of competent zoning.
Zoning is the division of the territory of the premises into sections with individual functionality of each of them.
Therefore, in addition to areas for cooking and eating, in spacious rooms, additional spaces can be created (for example, for rest, work area, fireplace location, etc.).
The most common zoning method is furniture and interior items.
For example, in order to visually separate the cooking area from the rest area. On the dividing line, you can install a long sofa, after which the territory for rest and reception begins.
A second popular method that can be used to divide an interior space is flooring.
For example, for the territory kitchen set, it will be logical to lay it on the floor and part of the wall, stylish. And, conversely, for the common room area, it is possible to use parquet, carpet and other materials.
For a clearer designation of functional areas, a ceiling design or decoration is often used.
For example: at the joints and transitions from one zone to another, a series of lamps is installed, or a multi-level ceiling structure.
To visually separate different parts of the room, use different colors when painting or pasting walls.
In order to understand which arrangement of kitchen furniture (headset) is right for you. It is necessary to build on the design features of your room (its area, shape, length, width) and, of course, on the design that you plan to bring to life.
Furniture in the kitchen, which is located in one line (in a row), is most popular for small and medium-sized premises (from 20 square meters).
By installing these practical headsets, the greatest savings are achieved in small to medium sized rooms.
Allows you to assemble a large number of appliances (refrigerator, stove, Dishwasher). Which gives one of their sections of the living room kitchen, great functionality.
In addition to good functionality, the undoubted advantage of this solution is its versatility. Due to the fact that it can be applied directly or can be used for almost any place, including a complex layout.
For example, there is a small space, with some protrusions or bends. L-shaped or U-shaped design, not applicable or will take up a lot of space. The solution is obvious - installing a direct headset.
The main advantages of linear planning:
If you have a small kitchen, living room, prefer maximum free space, functionality and do not want to compromise. Then corner headsets are what you need!
This arrangement is the most rational from the point of view of saving precious internal space.
Some advantages of corner headsets:
The most common types of corner sets are designs: resembling the letter "G" in shape and similar to the letter "P".
Depending on your case, it is possible to use one or another option.
Do you like funny home gatherings with old friends over a glass of wine? Then pay your attention to the possibility of arranging your headset with a bar counter.
Thanks to her, you will get comfortable and compact seating, as well as provide storage for bar accessories (glasses, bottles of alcohol).
Agree that parties and gatherings with alcohol do not take place every day! It's okay, the bar is a multifunctional place. In most cases, it can be used for quick snacks without occupying or setting a large dining table.
In addition, at the counter you can comfortably sit with a tablet or laptop, read books on cooking. Use as a surface for temporary storage of gadgets and other things.
There are also cases when in very small apartments, the bar counter replaces the whole dining table. In terms of design features, bar counters come in a variety of configurations, sizes, shapes and locations.
For example, adjacent to the headset, standing apart from it, which are part of the windowsill and other varieties.
A wide selection of bar products allows you to fit the rack into the kitchen interior of almost any design and size. Simplicity of installation and originality will not leave anyone indifferent to this beautiful and modern solution.
Recently, when planning and repairing kitchen facilities, such design solution like an island! What is this and is there a need for it?
A kitchen island is a work surface that is isolated (separated) from other elements of the kitchen set. The island can be made from various materials(wood, plastic, brick and concrete).
Its functional purpose depends on a particular purpose of use. Someone installs a hob on its surface to cook and warm up food.
Some people install elegant sinks with taps and mixers for comfortable primary processing of food. Others use the kitchen island for cooking and eating.
Regardless of the purpose of use, such a design solution will delight many and add functionality and exclusivity to any living room kitchen.
Note! The possibility of installing such an island assumes a large space for its placement. Since, its very design, implies free access to it from all sides.
In addition to a practical and functional countertop, the island has a base, which in turn can be configured with additional compartments, drawers for storing dishes and kitchen utensils. By and large, this decision, most of all, is suitable for large rooms in country houses.
Large upholstered furniture plays one of the key roles in the interior of any room. The combined living room and kitchen are no exception.
In this case, the sofa plays the role of a zone divider. At the same time it serves to comfortably accommodate people and in some cases is a sleeping place.
If we talk about the choice of a particular model, then the final choice depends on individual preferences everyone. However, regardless of the type, color and size of the product, it should be as convenient and functional as possible. Naturally, large sofas should be installed in suitable rooms.
Kitchen and living room in one room - modern, comfortable and stylish. If the plan of an apartment or house does not initially provide for this, you can try to solve this problem by redeveloping. Modern equipment, technologies and materials give a chance to change the interior in the house in accordance with your needs and preferences.
