How to "hide" the kitchen in the kitchen-living room: 9 examples and useful tips

United Kitchen-Living Room - Many Dream. It is convenient: at the same time cook food and be with family members or guests. But sometimes from the "kitchen" themes you want to relax, just relax on the TV's sofa. How to visually hide the kitchen and all household little things in the interior?

1 "Find out" colors

In order not to attract attention to kitchen furniture, pick up the color correctly. There are several tactics. The first is to select the color of the facades of the kitchen under the color of the walls. Then they "dissolve" in the room and become less noticeable. And the second is to use several basic colors that are repeated in the colors of furniture in the living room, and maybe - both in the whole apartment.

2 Take the attention from the kitchen

Make an emphasis on another object in the room - it can be a big sofa, chandelier in a living room or picture. This object should be really bright and attracting attention.

3 Clean the work surface

Hidden dishes, the lack of suspended rails in the kitchen and small household appliances on the table top does not create the impression of a full kitchen. This, of course, is a deception, but it will help distract attention from household sides.

4 Make a kitchen in columns

The refrigerator, oven and microwave oven can be hidden in this way, but what to do with the cooktop, washing and countertop? Transfer them to the kitchen island. Such an improvised parallel layout will change the usual vision of the kitchen, which means it will help to make it less noticeable.

5 Work with a dining group

This is another "distracting maneuver" - visually combine the dining group with the living room. The dining area acts as if an intermediate element between the cooking area and a seating area - living room.

To bring the dining group to the residential area, choose soft chairs, more similar to the chairs, add textiles, use the decor.

7 Make a cuisine

Transfer it to the corridor, make a two-row layout instead of storage room, for example - when the kitchen is not as familiar in the corner, but is in the passage zone, it becomes less noticeable. Of course, such a layout must be coordinated. The wet zone is not always possible, and if possible, it is necessary to resolve the relevant services.
