Interior of a combined kitchen in a private house: design ideas for decoration

Your own home opens up great opportunities for interior decoration. Individual layouts and spacious rooms make it possible to translate any design ideas into reality, but despite the presence of a decent amount of square meters, most homeowners prefer to further expand the space and make the rooms brighter. Therefore, in a private house, you can often find both zoning and the combination of premises.

The most popular planning method is considered to be a combined kitchen with a living room or with a hall; the combination of a cooking zone with a dining room also looks good in the interior.

The interior in a country house, where the kitchen is combined with other living rooms, depends on the area and shape of the room. At the same time, the place where cooking is planned is placed against the wall, and a furniture set is also installed there. As a rule, the modules are arranged in an L-shape or in a row. In a two-storey building with a staircase, kitchen cabinets can be installed in a niche underneath the structure.

To make the design of housing both stylish and functional, it is recommended to use the following types of arrangement:

• Arrange the dining table and work surface over large areas.
• Complement small tables with a bar counter. This will allow not only to delimit the kitchen beautifully, but also create comfortable conditions for snacks or quick breakfasts.
• For a spacious room, a kitchen with an island is suitable. Thus, the functionality of the room will expand and there will be a place for storing kitchen utensils and equipment.

• For a wide space, it is best to use an interior in which the cooking area will be located in the center, and on the sides it will harmoniously complement the living room or dining room.
• Setting up a dining area by the window will help create a real sense of coziness. In this case, the distance from the work table to the stove should be small.

• In order not to interfere with comfortable rest and eliminate the appearance of food odors, the area of ​​the living room and kitchen must be located remotely.

The design of a modern kitchen most often involves combining it with the living room. To do this, dismantle the walls and get one large room with two zones, which differ in functionality, but must be in harmony with each other. To make the interior modern, the combined space is designed to match the same style. That is, common decorative elements are used and surfaces are finished in the same palette.

It is worth paying attention to the fact that the design in each zone will be characterized by its own individual characteristics. For example, finishing materials for the kitchen are chosen that are practical and do not require complex maintenance, but they will not be able to look beautiful in the living room. In this situation, you will need to apply a harmonious combination in texture and color.

Contrasting furniture upholstery, laying a colored apron or decorative elements will help to add bright colors to the interior.

The most fashionable option for country houses is a combined kitchen, decorated in a classic style. Such a room is characterized by light and dark shades of decoration, as well as decorations made of natural wood, glass and metal. If the owners prefer country style for design, then the space will need to be filled with rustic motifs.

As for modern types of interiors, they are the most popular. Thanks to modernity, the modern kitchen is transformed into the central area of ​​the house and is characterized by comfort and high functionality.

The main task in the design of a combined kitchen is not only to maintain a single style, but also to correctly divide the space into zones so that they do not get lost against the general background and do not merge with each other. To do this, use various zoning methods that allow you to visually highlight a particular area in the room.

The most common types of space division are:

• Beams, gypsum columns, arches. They are used in houses with tall rooms.
• Pull-out wardrobes, modular partitions and fabric screens allow you to isolate two areas at a time, for example, when you need to protect the living room from noise and food odors.

• Multilevel ceilings. Traditionally, the kitchen is separated by lower structures with bright lighting, and the resting place is decorated with original compositions with regulating light sources.
• Floor. The cooking area is decorated with stone or ceramic tiles, and the hall is decorated with soft carpets.

• The bar counter is an excellent choice for small spaces.
• Niche. It is installed in a wall or in the place of an old pantry, which "spoiled" the layout of the rooms. It is rational to fill such a space with a U-shaped kitchen set.

In addition to the above zoning methods, other original ideas can be used. The most important thing is that the general style is not lost in the room, and the dividing structures fit harmoniously into the interior.

Proper lighting plays a huge role in the design of a combined kitchen with a living room or dining room. For a recreation area, it should be dim, while the cooking area, on the contrary, requires a lot of light.

Much in the interior also depends on the location of the windows. Therefore, if possible, then the cooking place is set near the window. This will also help to solve the problem with air exchange. In this case, the working area should be on the same level with the window. For this, tables of standard sizes are purchased, the height of which does not exceed 85 cm.

Installation of multi-level false ceilings is also a good option. In the center of the structure, you can install a large chandelier, and equip the edges of the decoration with spotlights. In addition, most kitchen sets are equipped with lighting, which will compensate for the lack of light.

Often, suburban housing is built from a log or bar.It is very simple to decorate the interior in a wooden house, especially when it comes to finishing a combined kitchen with a living room or dining room. In order to preserve the naturalness and beauty of wood in the design, it is recommended to decorate all types of surfaces with natural materials. The obligatory pieces of furniture in this room will be solid wood chairs, a huge oak table, as well as wicker vases and pots. For the interior, it is best to choose a classic style or country style.

Sometimes suburban housing serves as a summer residence, therefore, it is erected small. You can also save cramped rooms from a lack of space by combining the kitchen with the hall. As a result, the room will become more spacious and comfortable. In this design, it is recommended to use round furniture and perform zoning using a bar counter. To make the interior stylish and "warm", the space needs to be filled with decorative items with a natural theme.
