Features of the combined room
Kitchen-living room 14 sq. m. is a rather large room, but here it is also important to create an atmosphere of home comfort, preserving every square meter and at the same time making the right accents on the main zones. It is very important to qualitatively distinguish between the recreation area and the cooking area.

The design of the studio kitchen can be made in a variety of style solutions, 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 design for a room, 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 living room, it is very important to pay special attention to the colors: it is best to avoid sharp contrasts and dark colors in 14 square meters, preferring less bright shades.
Any accents are best done with decorative partitions or other decorative elements, for example, textile ones.

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

If zoning is done using floor and wall coverings or a podium, then it is worth being more vigilant about the choice of technology. It is best to choose a 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 lunch or dinner.

Often, zoning is done using sofas or decorative shelves, for example, with books or flowers, when it comes to eco-style. Usually 14 sq. m. designers fit a full dining area, as well as a small sofa for relaxation. In order to correctly and harmoniously plan the living room-kitchen room, we recommend adhering to the following plan.
- First, you should make all measurements of the room, taking into account the shape and the presence of window openings in the room.
- Then you need to dwell on some specific style, in which there is a desire to arrange a combined room. You should also think about the color scheme in advance. It is best, of course, to choose light and discreet colors and shades that will help 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 so that they can install a sofa. If there is no need for it, then you can take a closer look at the direct version with a linear layout. In order to save space, you can choose the upper cupboards of the kitchen unit for the ceiling, as well as give preference to the built-in hood, which will also save space above it.
- At the planning stage, you need to correctly think over 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, highlighting all the advantages of such a room.
It is best to do the layout of the room on a computer or manually by planning the main cooking area, all other square meters can be used for upholstered furniture or a whole dining group.

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

For each of the styles it is inherent to use its colors and finishing materials. So, for the classic style, country style, Provence and Scandinavian, natural finishing materials are mainly used and, as a result, a natural palette of shades. These styles are especially relevant for small, combined spaces.
In modern style, there is usually an abundance of metallized and plastic surfaces, glass may be present, but there should not be any hint of antiquity.

Usually, in the classic interior of the kitchen-living room, they are used light colors, wall moldings, vintage accessories, and natural solid wood headsets, as they are more durable and practical. When it comes to textiles for chairs and a sofa, it is usually velvet or velor. It is quite easy to arrange a 14 sq. 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, you can not be afraid to experiment with geometric shapes, contrasting colors (especially advantageous black and white combination), as well as with room zoning. 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 are very fond of family comfort. In addition to natural materials, these styles are characterized by the use of forged furniture items, as well as often interesting photo wallpapers with landscapes. Natural flowers and an abundance of colorful textiles in French themes can be used for decoration.

In Scandinavian and eco-style, dim shades of finishing materials with contrasts are mainly used, which can be embodied in all sorts of accessories in the room. Scandinavian-style kitchen-living rooms with a white kitchen set and a black sofa look especially advantageous. 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.
- Linear layout ideal for elongated rooms... With her, the kitchen set is placed along the wall. In such a room, you can easily place a full dining area with a sofa.

- Two-row layout works best with wide spaces... With such a layout, it is very important not to hide excess space, while correctly placing a kitchen set along one wall, and along the other (opposite) - a place for rest and a dining area.

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

Summing up
Many are not sure that the merger of two different rooms is justified, because 14 squares are not so many, in the opinion of many people. However, experts believe that with a competent layout, the kitchen-living room can become a paradise for households of any age. Moreover, if there is a desire to make repairs, then such a combination will certainly dilute the routine boring situation.
If you decide to make changes in the life of your apartment, then you need to act urgently, because the old layouts are gradually becoming a thing of the past.
