Pros and cons

Advantages and disadvantages of combined room design.

Floor plans

At the very beginning, before the upcoming redevelopment, creation of a project is required in which finishing work and zoning are considered. The next step is the application of large furniture objects to the plan, taking into account their optimal location.

Dining room combined with living room

Such a design with a dining area flowing into a place to relax is quite common and is especially preferred for those who appreciate comfort.

In the living room in the apartment, which has a complex layout, it is very easy to beat the location of the dining segment. For example, if you have a bay window, you can equip a dining group in it, which will look apart and at the same time remain part of the overall interior composition.

No less original solution is the arrangement of the dining room on the loggia or balcony.

In a small room, instead of a table, a compact bar can be installed. A similar design is also equipped with spacious storage systems.

For a spacious hall of 18 or 20 meters, choose zoning using columns or wide and high arches. An interesting effect can be achieved by delimiting the space with a podium, which is perfect for both spacious and small rooms. On this elevated site place a dining area and sometimes equip the design with drawers, niches and more.

Kitchen-dining room

To make the interior of the kitchen combined with the dining room comfortable, special attention is paid to the decoration of the room. For the working area, practical materials are used in the form of ceramics, metal or artificial stone, and the dining area is decorated using wallpaper, plaster or wood.

When planning the kitchen, it is important to consider the convenient location of the working triangle with a refrigerator, stove and sink.

How to combine the dining room, kitchen and living room in one room?

Such a room at the same time is a place to relax, a cooking area and sometimes even a work area. Therefore, achieving a harmonious combination of three rooms into one full-fledged space is quite difficult.

However, given the competent layout and zoning, you can give the multifunctional space a very comfortable look.

Such a design provides an opportunity to realize many interesting ideas. For example, as a zoning we use unusual wallpapers and photo cloths to emphasize and draw attention to certain sections or we originally separate the dining area and resting place with the help of a decorative panel.

Zoning

A common type of visual delimitation of space are partitions. They not only perfectly complement the design, but also solve the insulation problem. As a zoning element, wooden, metal, glass or drywall constructions are used. Folding or sliding screens in a colorful or neutral design can also complement the decor.

For a non-standard design solution and create a smooth transition from the living room to the dining room or kitchen, choose zoning using lighting. The workplace for cooking is equipped with spotlights and diodes, and table lamps and a chandelier are selected for the recreation area or dining area.

The most convenient way is to divide the room due to furniture elements such as a bar, an island module, a dining table, a bookcase, a cupboard or a sofa.

Color zoning is suitable for marking boundaries in a small room. For example, the walls, floor or ceiling in the kitchen can be done in neutral and calm colors, and the living room or dining room can be decorated in a rich and bright shade of colors.

Lighting

Regardless of the dimensions of the combined kitchen, dining room and living room, a sufficient amount of light is always present in the room. The highest quality lighting is installed in the working area. The luminous flux should fall on the countertop, stove and sink.

Furniture

As a dining table, models designed for a minimum of 8 people and structures with the possibility of transformation are used. For the design of a small room, it is better to choose more concise and compact products of a rectangular or square shape. An ideal place to place a table is the area near the window or the center of the room.
