Lighting
You can zone the kitchen-living room with the help of well-chosen lighting. The area of the room allows you to install two large lamps: one in the recreation area, the second in the work area. If there is a two-level ceiling, you can start up spot lighting around its perimeter with soft light, it will be convenient to turn it on in the evening. It is imperative to install LED lamps above the workspace, especially the sink, stove and countertop, where most of the cooking will take place. In the living room, you can install a floor lamp or wall sconces, which will give the interior a more complete look.

Vertical elements
Such designs will help to more clearly delineate the space of the kitchen-living room. 23-24 sq. m allows you to install sliding doors that will separate the kitchen from the recreation area, which is very convenient when guests are present. The cooking process will be hidden from their eyes. It is advisable to make doors with frosted glass inserts so that they do not look too heavy. An excellent solution would be to install a kitchen in a niche equipped with two columns on the sides.This design will look very organic and beautiful.

Layout plays a big role in the delineation of space. For a kitchen-living room of 24 square meters, the following types of kitchen layouts will be optimal.
- Linear. An excellent option for a room 6 by 4 meters, assuming the location of the headset along one wall. The width will allow you to make enough drawers for storing kitchen utensils. Along the edges, you can place tall tall cabinets and a built-in refrigerator, which will give the interior a more cohesive look. This is the most budget-friendly option, since modern furniture stores offer a wide range of linear headsets at reasonable prices. Since the area of the room is large, a narrow island with storage boxes can be placed in the center to divide the space. It will serve as an additional workplace, and if you attach high chairs, then the role of a table. A sofa with a coffee table is located with its back to the kitchen, and opposite is a TV.

- L-shaped. A convenient option for rooms of any size. The corner set gives more storage space, and also allows you to maintain an optimal distance between the three main elements of the work surface: a sink, a hob and a refrigerator. This solution will visually expand the narrow kitchen. The room is 23-24 sq. m there is a place for a dining table, which can be placed opposite the headset or in the middle. It is better to move the sofa to the wall, put a coffee table and a couple of small ottomans in front of it to make the room feel cozy. Hang up the TV opposite.

- C-shaped. This is the most practical layout, especially for a 3 by 8 meter long room. The main part of the kitchen furniture is located along two corner walls, and a bar counter completes one of the sides, which delimits the space into two zones: the living room and the work area. If the bar is large enough it can be used as a table by attaching high chairs.
The location of the sofa can be either with its back to the kitchen or near the wall, depending on your personal preference.

- U-shaped. The set, delivered with the letter "P", is ideal for a wide kitchen-living room. The practical arrangement along three walls allows for more storage space and work space. Even if there is a window on one of the walls, the U-shaped furniture will look harmonious, since it can also be used, for example, by placing some elements of kitchen decor or plants in pots on the windowsill. The set is completed by a refrigerator with a mezzanine on top of it on one side and a tall cabinet-case on the other. In order not to lose storage space in the corner parts, it is recommended to equip the inner drawers with a rotating shelf. In this case, the table will have to be placed in the living area, since it will not fit between the drawers.

Finishing options
When choosing the interior design of a kitchen-living room of 23-24 square meters, it should be remembered that this is one space and both zones must be finished in the same style. A great idea would be to place multiple color accents or similar decorative elements throughout the area. This will allow you to combine the stylistics of the zones and make the room more organic.

Walls
The large footage allows you to decorate the walls of the room in any color. It is better, of course, to opt for white, beige, sand and other pastel shades that visually increase the space. But if you prefer dark or bright colors, the footage allows you to finish the walls at will.
Materials for the kitchen area should be practical and easy to maintain. This can be washable wallpaper, paint, or ceramics. Photo wallpaper, Venetian plaster or ordinary wallpaper with interesting decor are suitable for the hall.

Floor
When choosing a material for the floor, you should build on the functionality of the zones. Tiles or moisture resistant laminate are suitable for the kitchen.Both options are easy to clean and easy to clean from greasy stains. You can put parquet in the living room and cover it with a soft carpet that will separate the zones. Another floor delimiter will be the podium. Raise the kitchen floor a few centimeters, add a couple of pillars to the sides, and you have an isolated workspace.

Ceiling
A footage of 24 squares allows you to make not only a standard smooth ceiling, but also a textured one with a variety of decorative elements. An excellent solution would be stucco decoration along the entire perimeter, you can make very beautiful rosettes around the place where the chandelier is attached. If the height allows, create a two-level ceiling, the main light source will be located in the inner one, and spot lighting on the outer one. The stretch glossy or matte ceiling, which will hide all the irregularities, also looks beautiful. In this case, you can play with the height. For example, if the kitchen is on a podium, then above the living room, the film can be placed a few centimeters lower, this will help to visually delimit the space in the room.
