Features of the layout
Size 10-11 sq. m - although not a very huge area, it is quite possible to divide it into 2 zones, and this can be done in different ways.
- There are many options when the room is a single whole, and the division exists only conditionally. In such cases, there is a work area on one side of the room, where food preparation takes place. And on the other, there may be a so-called relaxation area, where a sofa or armchairs with a coffee table will be placed. In this option, various materials or decorative elements will help to designate different zones.

- An area of 10-11 square meters can be easily divided into 2 parts using a bar counter, which is sometimes used both as a work area and as a place for eating. On the one hand, a stove, refrigerator, cabinets can be placed, on the other, a TV, sofa, plants and even a decorative fireplace or an aquarium.

Lighting and decor
Usually, each of the parts has its own lighting elements. If in the kitchen above the working area it can be a row of lamps built into the ceiling, then in the living room an original chandelier can be placed, as well as a floor lamp or a lamp.
As additional elements can be used vases, figurines, original sconces, fresh flowers and artificial compositions, as well as framed paintings and photographs. Do not forget about curtains. They can also carry a great decorative load both on kitchen windows and in the living room. If there is one window for these two zones, you need to think over the curtains so that it is not only convenient, safe, but also beautiful. Clothing for windows should be combined with the overall style of the room and complement it.
