The design of the kitchen-living room in the apartment: 7 modern projects

A small area kitchen and living room, combined in one volume, expand the ability to equip housing taking into account the interests of each family member, and make it comfortable. Combining the kitchen, dining room and living room areas in one spacious room is not only a requirement of modern design, but also a very practical solution, as can be seen from the given examples.

The kitchen combined with the living room in the project of the apartment from the Artek studio

The designers chose warm light colors as the main ones for decorating a small apartment. Their combination with wooden surfaces creates coziness, and bright yellow “spots” of decorative pillows enliven the interior.

The furniture of the main room of the apartment, combining the functions of a dining room, living room and kitchen, is dominated by a large sectional sofa, which can comfortably accommodate even a large family. In its upholstery there are two tones - gray and brown. The back of the sofa is turned towards the kitchen block and visually separates the living room and the kitchen. The center of the composition is indicated by a low furniture module that acts as a coffee table.

The wall opposite the sofa is finished with wood. It housed a TV panel, under which hung cabinets stretched out in a line. The furniture composition ends with a bio-fireplace finished in marble.

The kitchen and living room in the apartment are combined in color - the white facades of the cabinets overlap with the white shelves under the TV. There are no handles on them - the doors open with a simple click, which makes the kitchen furniture “invisible” - it feels like it's just a paneled wall.

The role of decorative elements is performed by black household appliances built into the cabinets - it echoes in color and design with a TV panel on the wall in the living room. The working area of ​​the kitchen is equipped with lighting. The line of kitchen cabinets ends with a wooden shelf, deployed towards the living room - you can store books and decor items in it.

The wooden "island" opposite the shelf performs the functions of a bar table in combination, it is convenient to have a bite or drink coffee behind it. In addition, there is a full dining area near the window: a large rectangular table is surrounded by four laconic chairs. An openwork suspension made of metal rods above the table is responsible for lighting and serves as an interesting decorative accent.

The design of the kitchen-living room in a modern style in a two-room apartment of 45 square meters. m

As the main designers chose the style of minimalism. Its main advantages are the ability to equip small rooms and create a feeling of spaciousness and comfort in them. The predominance of white in the design helps to visually increase the space, and the use of dark tones as contrasting gives the interior volume and style.

White furniture against a dark wall creates a feeling of depth and enhances expressiveness. A “hard” combination of black and white softens the texture of the tree, green accents of living plants and a warm yellow tone of illumination give the room a cosiness.

The living room is equipped with a dark sofa, contrasting with the white floor and walls. Besides him, from the furniture there is only a small rectangular coffee table. Lighting was decidedly unusual: instead of the usual spots and chandeliers, lighting panels were built into the suspended ceiling.

The kitchen is raised to the podium. The furniture in it is located in the form of the letter "G". White and black colors are also combined here: white facades contrast with a black apron and the same color with built-in appliances and worktops.

The apron is made of glossy tiles with a wavy surface, reflecting light and scattering intricate glare in different directions. The dining area is very small and almost invisible, a place for it was allocated in the piers between the windows. A folding table and two comfortable chairs made of transparent plastic practically do not take up space and visually do not clutter up the space.

The modern design of the living room combined with the kitchen in the studio apartment is 29 square meters. m

Since the area of ​​the apartment is small, the functions of not only the living room and kitchen, but also the bedroom are combined in one room. The main piece of furniture is a transforming structure that includes a storage system, book shelves, a sofa and a bed.

The design is a cabinet combined with a sofa, on which lamellas and an orthopedic mattress are laid at night. For sleep, it is much more convenient than a sofa bed. Three small tables with glass countertops have different shapes and heights, but are made of the same materials. They can be used for various purposes.

The interior is designed in light gray tones in combination with black, creating a graphic pattern and placing accents. Light green textiles add color and bring nature closer. The living room is formed by a sofa with a coffee table, a frameless armchair and a long, full-wall black nightstand opposite the sofa on which the TV is mounted.

The wall behind it is concrete, typical of a loft-style design. Its brutal character is softened by the brilliance of chrome, living plants and watercolors in delicate colors. Loft-style luminaires are suspended from the ceiling on metal rails painted black. Their orientation brings dynamics and graphicness into the room.

The facades of the kitchen are matte, black. We had to build a separate cabinet for the oven, and additional storage systems were placed in it. Despite its modest size, all the necessary household appliances fit in the kitchen.

The kitchen from the living room is visually separated by one of the tables with a glass top, the highest. Near it are bar stools, together they form a dining area. It is accented by suspensions hanging from the ceiling, decorated with figures of metal - they play the role of not only lighting fixtures, but also decoration.

The kitchen combined with the living room in the design of the apartment is 56 square meters. m

To create comfortable conditions for people living in the apartment, the designers moved the bedroom to the room intended for the kitchen, and the vacated area was used to create a multifunctional space that combines several functions at once.

The main colors of the project are white and black, which is typical for the style of minimalism. Red color was chosen as an accent, which gives the design brightness and expressiveness. A rather active combination of these three colors is softened by the texture of wood, wooden surfaces are also a unifying element of the entire interior.

The sofa is the center of gravity of the common living area. Its design has a restrained gray upholstery, but stands out clearly due to the ornamented pillows.The sofa looks great against the background of a white brick wall - this is a tribute to the fashionable style of the loft today.

The kitchen and living room in the apartment are separated by a part of the wall - it is covered with black slate paint, which allows you to leave notes, make shopping lists or decorate the interior design with drawings. The red refrigerator is adjacent to the wall from the living room side. Together with a wicker armchair and a cushion of the same color, he adds brightness to the design of the room.

Overhead and built-in lamps are fixed on the ceiling - lined around the perimeter, they provide uniform overhead lighting. On the middle line there was a sconce responsible for the intimate lighting of the living room. Two suspensions were placed above the dining area - they not only illuminate the dining table, but also help visually separate the functional areas.

The design of the kitchen-living room in the apartment from the studio PLASTERLINA

An unusual partition wall separates the kitchen from the living room. It is made of wood and resembles a wide wooden frame, on the top of which the backlight line is fixed from the kitchen side. In the lower part of the frame is mounted a structure, which from the kitchen is a storage system. Her "cover" is the desktop for the hostess.

On the living room side, a sound system and TV are mounted in the construction. A narrow shelf is located above the countertop, and above everything is free - thus, the kitchen and living room are both separated and visually combined.

The main element of decor in the design project of the kitchen-living room is the decoration of the wall behind the sofa. A large map was placed on it, it is convenient to put flags on it, marking the countries where the owners of the apartment were already.

The neutral color scheme creates a relaxing atmosphere and emphasizes the modern constructivism of the interior. At the junction of three functional areas - the entrance, living room and kitchen, there was a place for a dining group. A simple rectangular wooden table is surrounded by Hee Welling chairs, often found in Scandinavian design.

The lighting is provided by round suspensions - they are attached to the tires on the ceiling and can easily be moved from the dining part of the room to the living area, providing lighting for the storage system. The position of the dining area in such a place is very functional, table setting and subsequent cleaning are greatly facilitated.

The interior of the kitchen-living room in a modern style for an apartment of 50 square meters. m

The design is designed in cool light colors characteristic of modern styles, but does not look too strict due to the correct use of decorative accents and softening fabric elements of decor.

In terms of space, the room has the shape of an elongated rectangle, this made it possible to divide it into separate zones - for this purpose a glass sliding partition was installed. It can be folded, and in such a place it takes up very little space, or spread apart if it is necessary to isolate the kitchen room during cooking or create an intimate atmosphere in the living room. The walls are painted in light beige, the furniture contrasts with the walls, creating a pleasant color combination.

The living area includes two separate sofas, one, dark gray, stands near the beige wall, on which a delicate watercolor painting of a huge flower is applied. Another, linen white, is located under the window, which can be closed by curtains of dark gray color. The contrast of the sofas with the background on which they are located creates an interesting interior effect in the design. In the center of the living room, a dense milky-white carpet is laid on the floor imitating light wood, on which the dark square of the coffee table stands out in contrast.

The main secret of creating beautiful kitchen-living rooms is a competent selection of color combinations and individual furniture elements.In this case, the living room, in addition to sofas, is equipped with hanging furniture modules with white facades and shelves - dark brown. Between them on the wall is a TV panel. Such an ascetic design might look too strict if it were not for a romantic decoration - a delicate pink flower behind the sofa, illuminated by an LED strip. In addition, the authors added a curly green plant to the design, which brings an eco-touch to the decor.

The kitchen part of the room was equipped with a corner set, in which all the necessary household appliances were built. Its facades also have a white color, echoing the facades of the living room furniture modules. The glass apron gives the impression of “invisibility”, a beige wall is visible behind it, but at the same time it adds luxury and brilliance. The white countertop is made of stone polished to a mirror shine.

Between the kitchen and living areas there is a bar. It can be used both as a work surface, and as a table for snacks or dinners. Glass pendant lights above it provide additional lighting and visually separate the kitchen from the living room. In addition, the dining area is additionally distinguished by flooring - light-colored laminate.

Design project of the kitchen-living room in the Scandinavian style

When working on the project of this apartment, the designers found that the brick from which the walls were laid looks very impressive and can very well be used as a decorative element in the future interior.

Having decided to combine the kitchen and living room in one volume, they did not completely disassemble the wall between them, but left a small part, which became the basis of the kitchen island. This is both a dinner table, and an additional work surface, and a decorative center for the entire kitchen design.

The design of the living room turned out to be very traditional, restrained in the north, but having its own face. A white sofa would be almost imperceptible against the background of white walls, if not for the colored pillows, very bright and colorful.

Since the apartment is located in an old house, it has its own history, which was used by designers in their project. They did not touch the ceiling moldings, preserving the atmosphere of the era, and added antique gizmos to the interior.
