Peculiarities

• Floor coverings. One part, for example, functional, is decorated with tiles, the second, in the eating and recreation area, or.

• Different textures of the ceiling. A play of textures is used - one area is matte, the second is of a different color, glossy, or a different combination of materials (textures like satin, leather, marble, etc.), or different levels - in one zone above, in the second below.

• Arches, protrusions, columns, openings, etc. It can be drywall, zoning curtains, installation of false columns, carved partitions with shelves, etc.

Advice! If you decide to perform zoning with partitions, their ends can be decorated with mirrors, then they will look lighter.And if you make them niches, you can build beautiful mini-showcases.

• ... This method is adored by pragmatists, every centimeter is wisely used here. As a rule, it is not the load-bearing wall that is removed, but a tabletop with reinforced tubes and shelves is made on its remnants, where dishes or other objects can be placed. Sometimes a stand is made without a foundation, which is made out from the inside. On the one hand, you can place bar stools, on the other, under the counter itself, put mini-refrigerators or cabinets. The space is played up with lighting, in the dining area - in the kitchen itself - spotlights.

Narrow room

In theory, it is impossible to organize here dining room but there is a way out. Firstly, it is worth using light colors in the design - this will smooth out the elongated shape, and secondly, you should immediately remove unnecessary items or hide them inside the cabinets.

Adjacent windows are possible, it will visually separate the dining area and distract from the elongation of the form. Well, the choice of stylistic direction in such a situation is obvious: - and the point, any jumble will only increase the length.

Little space

2. Hanging shelves or cabinets under ceilings - visually increase the space and provide additional storage space.

Many windows on one side
