As competently zoning
Traditionally, long family dinners pass in the dining area, they also meet guests and arrange a feast. But to highlight the whole room under it can, alas, few. And is it necessary? Agree, it is much more convenient when the work area is near. Therefore, such a logical seems to be association. What to draw attention to, developing the design of the kitchen, dining room and living room in a private house and not only?
Combined Space: Pros and Cons
Combining plots - a successful solution for both small apartments of Soviet type and modern small-sized studios. Moreover, to appreciate such a project. Soghut and the owners of the cottage: a competently thoughtful space will probably become his "heart."
The advantages are obvious.
- Mountless partitions and the routes from the table to the headset disappear.
- At the larger area, you can realize more different ideas and ideas.
- After redevelopment, more natural light will certainly appear: two adjacent windows will be in the same room.
- No need to use alone in the room during cooking.
- You can save on the technique: it is not necessary to install an extra TV, there will be one large screen opposite the sofa.
However, the cons also worth considering. First, this is the smell of food that will spread throughout the room even with a powerful exhaust. Secondly, the sounds of technology: here and the refrigerator, and the microwave, and the oven. Finally, thirdly, it will have to be cleaned more often - dirt from the process of cooking and dust from upholstered furniture from the living room will be everywhere. And if someone is preparing, then nice on the sofa alone here is unlikely to succeed.
Features planning
The area of the apartment or private house plays a key role in the kitchen layout, living room and dining room, in the photo there are successful combinations options even in small rooms. We will tell more.
Kitchen-dining room
Perhaps this is the easiest classic solution. Actually, if there is no such living room in the house or it is on the other side. The main thing here is a gorgeous table that is the center of the room.
The more spacious room, the greater the size of the dining group, and the kitchen set can include island, and even a bar counter.
Dining room
This option is not quite about redevelopment, it is rather about the division of a place indoors: a dining part and a place to relax.
If he fell to taste, pay attention to the entrance to the room. Instead of doors it is more convenient to make the arch. Moreover, it is desirable that the discovery is wide. So, for example, with a tray in the hands you will not have to turn around, swaying into a narrow passage.
The joint space is perfect for receiving guests, holding parties and just relaxing in a family circle. On weekdays, when everyone is in a hurry, the big table is unlikely to be covered every time. In this case, it is advisable to make a small dining area in the kitchen, for example, a windowsill table.
Kitchen-dining room
When planning to arrange everything in the overall space, first of all solve the issue with the working triangle. There is a simple rule: the less place this zone takes, the more the area for the dining room and the living room remains. In small apartments, there are M-shaped headsets or linear: stove, refrigerator and a cutting surface lie in the same plane.
From the point of view of ergonomics, the last option is not the most successful, but it is he who is the most compact. In spacious rooms you can install a P-shaped headset and island to it.
It is also important to understand that it will become an accent group in the room: a dining part or a place to relax? Solve it is quite simple, answering the question: where do you plan to spend more time? If at the table, then it should not save on it. Choose a massive model and chairs suitable in style. If the central part will be a sofa, then make the emphasis on it: rich textiles, an interesting form, bright accessories.
How to zonail the room
Combining functional places does not imply their mixing and merging, they must complement each other. It is important to visually emphasize this. You can use some stylistic techniques.
The most obvious solution is a bar rack or a small island, they can designate the end of the site. Unlike the wall, even false, this reception does not take "air" and does not attract attention.
A small podium is another reception. Lift the floor of one of the sections by 5-10 cm, no more. Similar option - Miscellaneous flooring. For example, on a plot where food is preparing is appropriate, porcelain stoneware, and parquet or laminate - in other parts. You can do and easier: Singing a carpet or track.
The ceiling beam can also serve a hint of distinction. At the same time, it is not necessary to allocate its color at all, even painted into the tone, it will perform its function.
Color and texture - two indispensable tools of designers. Both will help visually divide the room. Want a greater contrast, work with color. Less? With texture. By the way, the latter is especially true in the house or apartment, which are performed in the Scandinavian style. White walls cease to be boring, if in the room connect the tile, plaster, wood or decorative brick. The main thing is to choose a shade.
Details are another key of the alignment of accents. Do not be afraid to add closer accessories in the design of the apartment with a combined kitchen, dining room and living room: in the photo they look very stylish. Warely combination: Crystal chandelier, heavy wooden table and trendy chairs.
By the way, special attention should be paid to the lighting. The main light is in the accent zone, it may be a large chandelier. In the rest - smaller lamps. Although two identical chandeliers look very impressive.
Separating the room to the sections, do not forget that the interior must be connected. Pick furniture in a single style. Differences are allowed only in eclectic directions.
