Living-dining room from the cover of the magazine

Firstly, just tearing everything from and to is a so-so idea. After all, thoughtless copying will not give positive results. It is necessary to evaluate your conditions individually and, based on the conclusions, create an interior that emphasizes the features and hides the shortcomings of your particular home. Secondly, the photos were taken by professionals not only in the field of interior design. Photographers also worked hard, setting the light, choosing the angle, etc. So in the photo and in reality the same room can look completely different. Thus, if you want an interior from the cover of a magazine, then it is better to contact the designer. It is unlikely that you will get the desired result on your own. But, knowing certain points, you may well approach it. And it is about these moments that we will tell using the example of a combined living-dining room.

Zoning

Zoning is an important element in any room, whether it is a living room or a bedroom. But for connected rooms, it is especially important, since each room requires its own space. In an ordinary room, there are no particular difficulties, but since there is a need to fit two in one room, then you need to try. You can zone a room in many ways, from furniture to coatings. Different wall and floor coverings for the kitchen and living area is one of the most popular ideas. And it has both an interesting decorative look and great practical value. After all, the same flooring as in the living room is not suitable for the kitchen at all, and there can also be problems with the wall covering. Therefore, you may well use tiles for the kitchen area, and laminate or parquet for the living area. The main thing is to make neat joints between different floor coverings. With wall coverings, everything is somewhat simpler, but the principle is the same.

Dinner table

Naturally, one of the most important elements of the kitchen is the dining table. And your main task is to choose an option that will organically fit into the interior and not take up too much space. If the room is large enough, then this is usually not a problem. But if the room is small, then you should pay attention to the bar counters. They can be both a dining table, and a work surface, and a place for storage, and a way of zoning a room. But what is better to avoid is round tables. They take up a lot of space, but they are not very practical.

Soft zone

An equally important component of the living room combined with the kitchen is the soft zone. Usually it includes a sofa, one or two armchairs, a coffee table and a TV. In fact, this area must meet the requirements that an ordinary living room must meet. However, with some amendments. For example, it is better to choose compact furniture and use only one chair, since the room should already contain many other items. In accordance with modern trends, it is quite acceptable to buy an armchair and a sofa of different models, the main thing is that they are combined in color and style. If you want to make an accent with a coffee table, pay attention to tables with a top made from sawn wood. Also, you can look for people who are engaged in the creation of individual furniture and order an absolutely unique table from them.

Lighting

Naturally, the lighting in the living room combined with the dining room is somewhat different from the standard. Here it is desirable to use several ceiling lights, one of which will be located above the dining table, and the second above the soft zone. Firstly, this is another way of non-obvious zoning, which will allow highlighting the main areas of the room with the help of lighting. And secondly, it is practically useful, since both parts of the room will be sufficiently illuminated to make it comfortable to be in them.

Decor

Despite the fact that you fit two in one room, the amount of decor should be designed specifically for one room. Otherwise, you risk overdoing it, and your room will look too pretentious. The best decor for such rooms is paintings. They do not take up space, they are easy to hang and they have a significant effect on the look of the interior. Another good option is indoor plants. They give the room a more natural, natural look, refresh it and create a pleasant atmosphere. Of course, vases and figurines should not be neglected, but it is better to use them very sparingly and choose the highest quality options.
