A competent combination is always a lot of work, today designers make a lot of efforts to create unique and inimitable interiors in studio apartments. Next, we will take a closer look at the design ideas of kitchen-living areas of 14 square meters. m., we learn the recommendations of professionals in this regard and visually consider ready-made solutions for inspiration.

Kitchen-living room 14 sq. m. - this is a rather rather big room, but here it is important to create an atmosphere of home comfort, preserving every square meter and making the right emphasis on the main zones. It is very important to distinguish between the recreation area and the cooking area.

The design of the kitchen-studio can be made in a variety of styles, however, it is best to give preference to a design that can meet the needs of all family members. We especially recommend paying attention to modern varieties. When choosing a combined room design, it is recommended to do 3D design so that you can clearly see how the room will look in life.

When combining the kitchen and the living room, it is very important to pay special attention to the color scheme: It is best to avoid sharp contrasts and dark colors in 14 square meters, preferring less bright shades.

To solve all possible issues with excess odors and noises that can penetrate from the cooking zone to the relaxation zone, it is best to do zoning in a combined kitchen-living room, albeit a relatively small room. Zoning can be done using any decorative partitions (glass or plastic), and also especially relevant zoning using furniture items such as bookshelves and sofas.

If zoning is done using floor and wall coverings or a podium, then should be more careful about the choice of technology. It is best to choose a range hood, dishwasher and washing machine as quiet as possible so that the appliances do not interfere with the peace of mind of the household, for example, during a lunch meal or dinner.

Often zoning is done using sofas or decorative shelves, for example, with books or flowers, if we are talking about eco style. Usually in 14 square meters. m. designers fit a full dining area, as well as a small sofa for relaxing. In order to correctly and harmoniously plan the living room-kitchen, we recommend that you follow the following plan.

• First, all measurements of the room should be taken, taking into account the shape and presence of window openings in the room.
• Then you need to dwell on some specific style in which there is a desire to design a combined room. You should also think over the color scheme in advance. It is best, of course, to choose light and discreet colors and shades that will help to make the combined room visually even larger.
• Having chosen the necessary style for the design of the kitchen-living room, it is recommended to start selecting finishing materials, household appliances and furniture, including a kitchen set. Typically, for 14 square meters, designers choose corner kitchen sets to be able to install a sofa. If there is no need for it, then you can look at the direct version with a linear layout. In order to save space, you can choose the upper cabinets of the kitchen unit under the ceiling, as well as give preference to the built-in hood, which will also save space over it.
• At the planning stage, you need to carefully consider the placement of switches, sockets and lighting in general. With the help of correctly selected lighting, you can also make the original zoning of a small kitchen-living room, emphasizing all the advantages of such a room.

It is also recommended to use mirrors in the room, as well as any glossy surfaces (this can be a dining table or the entire kitchen). Any glossy and mirror surfaces, especially in the dining area, will help to make the room spacious and cozy.

The design of a kitchen studio can be varied. To begin, consider the main styles in which professionals usually design this kind of room. Style may be:

• classical;

• modern (hi-tech or minimalism);

• eco;

• provence or country;

• Scandinavian.

For each of the styles inherent to use its color scheme and decoration materials. So, for the classical style, country style, Provence and Scandinavian, natural finishing materials and, as a result, a natural palette of shades are mainly used. Such styles are especially relevant for small combined rooms.

Usually used in the classic interior of the kitchen-living room light colors, moldings on the walls, vintage accessories, as well as headsets made from natural solid wood, as they are more durable and practical. If we are talking about textiles for chairs and a sofa, then this is usually velvet or velor.Quite simple to arrange 14 square meters. m. in this style the main thing is to plan everything in advance, and then the room will delight all family members for many years.

Modern style is especially relevant today. It is chosen by both young people living independently and families. In this style, one can not be afraid to experiment with geometric shapes, contrasting colors (especially a black and white combination is advantageous), as well as with zoning of the room. Glass partitions or screens may be relevant here. The technique is most often built-in.

Provence or country style is usually chosen by those who love family coziness. In addition to natural materials, the use of forged furniture items, as well as often interesting photo wallpapers with landscapes, is inherent in these styles. For the decor can be used natural flowers and an abundance of colorful textiles in the French theme.

Scandinavian and eco-style mainly use soft shades of finishing materials with contraststhat can be embodied by all kinds of accessories in the room. Especially advantageous are the kitchen-living rooms in the Scandinavian style with a white kitchen set and a black sofa. But for eco-style, you can give preference to a small wicker sofa with colorful decorative pillows.

The layout of the working area, regardless of the chosen interior style, can be very diverse. We especially recommend paying attention to linear, double-row and angular.

• The linear layout is ideal for elongated rooms.. With it, the kitchen set is placed along the wall. In such a room, you can easily place a full dining area with a sofa.

• A two-row layout works best with wide rooms.. With this layout, it is very important not to steal the extra space, while correctly placing a kitchen set along one wall, and along the other (opposite) - a place to relax and a dining area.

• Corner layout involves the use of space at two adjacent walls, resulting in an ergonomic placement of all kitchen appliances and equipment. With this choice, everything will always be at hand with the hostess.

However, experts believe that with a competent layout, the kitchen-living room can become a paradise for households of any age.
