Zoning
A kitchen with a sofa assumes the presence of two zones: work and rest. The first will have a kitchen set, the second will have a sofa and a table. First of all, you need to decide how many square meters will be allocated to each space, it depends on your personal preferences.
It is recommended to choose the color of the furniture lighter, as it will visually expand the room.
Next, you should decide on the layout of the room and lighting.

Layout
An area of 13 squares allows you to give free rein to your imagination and make your dream kitchen. The layout of the working area in this case can be of three types: linear, L-shaped and C-shaped. The first option involves the location of the kitchen unit and other furniture along the walls opposite each other. Such a layout is the most straightforward and economical, since furniture stores offer ready-made linear-type kitchen furniture at an affordable price. Some of the upper drawers can be made open or with glass doors so that they do not overload the space.
At the edges, a tall pencil case and a large refrigerator will look great, on top of which a mezzanine will be a practical solution. Place a straight, narrow sofa against the opposite wall, and place the table and chairs in the corner of the room. If necessary, the sofa will serve as an additional seating area. If the width of the kitchen allows, you can put a corner sofa and move a table with a couple of chairs to it.

An excellent solution would be a headset in the shape of the letter L, where the boxes are located along the longitudinal and end walls. Such a layout will visually make the narrow kitchen wider and maintain the correct distance between the sink, stove and refrigerator. Opposite the headset is a small sofa and a table with chairs.

The C-shaped kitchen layout is in many ways similar to the previous one, but ends with a bar counter. The working area runs in a semicircle along two walls, and the bar, as it were, separates the cooking area and the rest space. This is the most practical option for a 13-square kitchen, since the counter can function as a dining table, and additional storage boxes can be made under it. In this case, the sofa is placed either with its back to it, or along the wall, depending on the wishes of the owners. If necessary, squaring allows you to put a small table in front of the sofa and move chairs to it.

Lighting
Lighting in the kitchen is one of the main issues, as it determines the convenience of cooking. The kitchen has 13 sq. m, one large chandelier with three bulbs will be enough. If desired, it can be supplemented with a lamp system with spotlights along the perimeter of the ceiling; its presence is very convenient when there is no need for bright light. Be sure to install separate LED lights above the work area. Especially such light sources are needed above the sink, hob and countertop, where most of the cooking will take place.
If there is a bar counter, it is recommended to carry out spot lighting on the top panel, an excellent solution would be colored lighting in the presence of a two-level ceiling.

Floor
It is recommended to cover the floor moisture resistant laminate or ceramic tiles. When using a C-shaped kitchen set, where the bar will delimit the zones, you can combine two types of flooring. Ceramics are easy to wash and clean from dirt, they are shock and moisture resistant - ideal for the kitchen. Laminate can be laid diagonally to visually enlarge the room. A podium will look great on 13 square meters, raise the floor level in the work area.

Ceiling
The ceiling in the kitchen can be decorated with stucco or made two-level, if the height allows. An excellent option for the kitchen would be stretch ceiling with a mirror surfacewhich will visually make it taller. The optimal color will be white, beige and other light shades.
It is not recommended to give preference to dark colors, as such a ceiling will make the room lower.
