Accommodation options
In the dining group
One of the most common solutions to save a little space in a limited area is "embedding" upholstered furniture in the lunch group. Such a move will help get comfortable and cozy landing places, make family and friendly sitting even more convenient and mental, give the living room atmosphere.
Part of the recreation area
If the size and configuration of the room are more or less allowed, you can equip a separate recreation area, placing the sofa there. This is especially appropriate if there is no separate living room in the apartment and the functions of several rooms have to be combined in one space.
By the way, if your kitchenette is not too tiny or has an elongated form, you can contact the zoning techniques and visually separate the rest area from the rest of the room. This will help create a more pronounced living room atmosphere - to move away from the feeling of what you read or chatting over a cup of coffee, sitting at the dishwasher and stove.
Take a look as elegantly resolved the question of zoning a kitchen of 12 square meters. meters (photo) with sofa:
By the way, do not forget that with an acute lack of space (let's say less than 5-7 square meters. Meters) it is quite really noticeable to increase the small kitchenette at the expense of the hallway, corridor, balcony or loggia. Then it will be much easier to arrange a stylish and comfortable kitchen interior with your dream sofa.
Continuation of the kitchen headset
In extremely compact rooms, zoning (that is, crushing the already tiny space to even smaller parts) is nothing. With such a situation, a much more advantageous solution will make the recreation area by continuing the headset. Judge for yourself:
At bar counter
Some rooms and configuration of some rooms does not allow accommodation and upholstered furniture, and a full-sized dining table. If you give up recreation area, you do not intend, think about replacing the table with a compact bar counter.
This option is especially suitable if you are rarely intended for dinner with the whole family, often eat out of the house and do not particularly enjoy lush feasts.
And in these examples, the role of a bar counter and at all took over the windowsill.
Bench instead of a sofa
In certain styles, the interior of the kitchen with a sofa (in a classical understanding) will not look at all appropriate. However, you can easily replace bulky upholstered furniture more laconic bench or bench. Particularly effectively, the organization of such seats is close to the window block.
By the way, such a bench or a banquette does not necessarily have to be part of the dining group: this element of the situation may well be located in a separate area for recreation and reading.
