Combining spaces for different purposes - a good solution for creating harmonious interior in a limited area. For example, this technique is often used for small apartments of the Soviet period and modern studio apartments. Also, the combination can be very useful for the country house of modest dimensions.
kitchen combined results, dining room and living room will become a practical and comfortable space
Advantages of such interior solutions are obvious:
- no unnecessary "obstacles" in order to get "from point A to point B";
- there is an additional location for decorative elements or functional accessories;
- usually association gives additional light, it has been retracted septum and natural light enters the room has two sides, rather than one;
- If occupants are fans of television, that is a great opportunity to save on additional TV (instead of two - in the dining room and living room - need only one);
- And finally, during cooking, the owner will not be bored alone - other members of the household will be able to sit comfortably in the living room.
The interior of the joint room should be comfortable and easy to clean
Unfortunately, there are disadvantages, too. Although, in fairness it should be noted that they are very relative.
First of all, it smells from the kitchen space. For some it will be insignificant circumstance, but for many - is a serious problem. Therefore, before combining space, think about this question.
In addition, the "minus" can be called the sounds of household appliances: turn on and off a microwave, a refrigerator or a timer. Finally, the combined space will require more frequent cleaning, because the cooking process will be "stretched" and the living room and dining room. A dust of upholstered furniture in the room will only exacerbate this situation.
Finally, the relative lack. If you are a lover to lie down on the couch in the process of cooking dinner, then enjoy the solitude and tranquility of the maximum is unlikely to succeed.
First, you must assess the available space, thoughtful design, everything is calculated and only then proceed to the realization of their pans
planning Features
Combining enough options: kitchen-dining room, kitchen, living room, kitchen-living-dining room. To choose the right solution for you personally, you need to take into account the layout and size of the available space.

Kitchen-dining room
This is the most common solution, which requires, as a rule, a minimum investment of money and effort. The more floor space, the more is dining group. There is a possibility of large-scale installation of kitchen units, which includes, in addition to the dining table and chairs, a bar and a kitchen island.

Benefits in this case the kitchen island are obvious. There is an additional work surface and storage space for various accessories (shelves and drawers in the kitchen does not happen much). In addition, with the help of the island it is possible to zone the space more effectively and stylishly. Finally, the interior of the island, you can put the dishwasher or washing machine - also a good option.
Dining-living room
This story is not really about redevelop existing areas, but rather about the zoning area. It is necessary to separate the dining area from the recreation area.
Dining area, placed at the boundary between the kitchen and the living room serves as a space divider
The most convenient, this option in the event of receiving guests and events when you need to comfortably accommodate a sufficient number of people.

With this zoning is expedient to arrange an additional dining table in the kitchen, because hardly a big table in the living room will be served daily. Alternatively, you can properly arrange the window sill. By the way, the table, windowsill - fashionable and very functional trend for design kitchen interior. And it is not only used as a dining area, but also as an extra work surface, and as a place to set the washing.
Table-sill - an interesting solution, even for a spacious room
The role of the compact dining table can be laid on the bar
Kitchen-dining-living room
Deciding to combine 3 to 1, the main thing to consider the location of the triangle. It operates a simple rule: the smaller the working triangle, the more space will be left for the living room and dining room.
The most convenient in terms of cooking are angular or U-shaped layout in which the triangle generally performed perfectly
If the room is small, the refrigerator, stove and working surface are arranged in a line. Not the most convenient option, but the most suitable for space-saving.
Also have to advance accents, what is more important: dining group, place of cooking or resting place. The answer to this question is on the surface where you spend more time? For cooking or consuming it?
If the dining area is a priority for you, do not skimp on the table and chairs. They should be comfortable for you and your household.

If the emphasis is on the process of cooking, the kitchen provide the most convenient device and place to store them, and functional work surface.
space zoning regulations
The combination does not imply that the result should be a mix of buildings of different directions. Kitchen dining and living room in a private house should complement each other. And there are a number of simple techniques that allow to make it effective and practical.
The kitchen is separated from the living room of a brick wall, inside of which undeveloped bar
The bar counter or a kitchen island - the simplest solution. They represent part of the boundary, but do not steal space, and "give" extra space for storage and accommodation.

Podium - a variant which is embodied in the step floor finishes. Dining area or the kitchen is raised by 10-15 cm.
Here, working and dining areas brought to the podium, and the kitchen is separated by a partition with a window opening
A similar option - the use of different floor coverings. For example, where the kitchen floor decorate using granite, while the living room and dining room - laminate. Even more simple solution - one of the areas to lay carpet or track in a contrasting color.
Living allocated carpeted floor
By the way, delimit the space and with the help of specific finishing the ceiling. For example, the ceiling beam set. In this case, it is not necessary to allocate its color. Even monotonous with the ceiling, it is clearly marked borders.

Another design method of zoning - the color and texture. For more contrast prefer color options, and for smaller - invoice.
The working area is marked green walls and dining effectively highlighted the texture of natural wood
Also do not forget about the details. For example, a massive chandelier, modern chairs or deliberately cumbersome table - all this will be in your favor, if you want to zone a large space.
Lighting fixtures themselves are very effective means of zoning premises
Carefully choose the lighting. "Home" area is illuminated brighter and more spectacular than the secondary. If you have provided multi-level ceiling, then this task is much easier. Install additional lighting to the room it was nice to not just spend time, but also to work or prepare something.
The most striking is to be lighting the kitchen area than the segment for recreation
Modern, classic or hi-tech
In fact, variants of stylistic trends is much more, however, the above are considered to be the most common.
- The minimum number of Art Nouveau decorative elements. All aimed at functionality and comfort space. Furniture simple shapes, chairs and chairs without armrests. On the ceiling of several small lamps. As used finish natural wood and metal. Colors: white, brown, black. Obligatory bright accents. As an ornament may be a strip or a cage.
Art Nouveau - is a kind of classic, but with a modern twist. It is equally well suited for both small and large facilities
- Classic does not lose its relevance over time. All also popular exquisite furniture, sofas with cushions and carpets. Mandatory moldings as in the dining and kitchen area. The color scheme - pastel.
Classics chosen by people who are ready to significant financial investments
- Hi-Tech is considered masculine direction, first of all, because characterized by the use of technical innovations and the almost complete absence of decorative items for him. Furniture uses a modular, usually with internal locks. Open shelves are not welcome - all items must be hidden from prying eyes. Lighting separate for each zone. For finishing used glass, leather, metal and wood. The color scheme - contrast. Very interesting looks black-white-red solution.
Hi-Tech will certainly appreciate people walking in step with the times and who appreciate perfect order
Regardless of stylistic preferences, design a kitchen-dining-living room in a private home can be designed beautifully and conveniently. A zoning process and combining diverse rooms will allow to realize their most interesting design preference.
