Living area arrangements
Living area – a place for the whole family to gather, rest, and relax. It's in our living room, or its combined kitchen, that we spend the vast majority of our afternoons at home and our free weekends. For this reason, and considering that this part of the home must be multifunctional, furnishing it can be quite a challenge. Our experts from MOOVIN INTERIORS they suggest how to arrange the living area so that staying there is pleasant and comfortable.
Layout and living areas
Let's start with the most comfortable and at the same time the most fashionable option a living area that is based on the combination of the living room and the kitchenThis approach will not only make serving meals easier, but will also help you achieve a balance between time spent in the kitchen and time spent watching your favorite show. It's also worth noting that relaxation and entertainment area consisting of a living room and kitchen has an impact on maintaining the uniformity of the interior design in the apartment.
An exceptionally practical solution that will allow for a subtle transition between the kitchenette and the living room is free-standing low-rise kitchen islandThis maneuver has another advantage – thanks to the kitchen island, we gain not only additional storage space, but also an additional worktop on one side and a space for eating on the other.
Living area connected to the kitchen – an arrangement compromise
Once we have a plan in place for this, what the living area in our apartment will ultimately look like, we can move on to the implementation stage and start interior designChoosing the right color scheme has a significant impact on aesthetically pleasing design. Neutral shades based on gray or beige, or classic combinations like black and white, are good ideas.
Focus on subdued colors This guarantees an aesthetically pleasing finish that won't be conspicuous, yet whose versatility allows you to be creative with your choice of accessories. Don't be afraid to introduce a breath of fresh air into the interior in the form of eye-catching posters, abstract paintings, patterned pillows, or original sculptures. It's not about completely avoiding bold colors and accents in the living area—you just need to find the right balance between refined design and decorative overkill.
We also cannot forget about the clever combination of style arranging the kitchen and living room and finding a way to integrate both zonesIf we decide on graphite kitchen cabinets, let's make sure that the color also appears in the living area, for example in the form of curtains or sofa upholstery.
Another interesting idea is to use a graphic motif or material that covers the gap between the lower and upper kitchen cabinets as a decorative element on one of the walls. Small details like a similar lighting design or using the same handles on the kitchen cabinets and the living room furniture set can also create cohesion between the living room and kitchen areas.
Arrangement of the living areaOnce we've explored its secrets, it's not a particularly difficult task. The only requirement for the project's designers is to find harmony between a characterful interior and a versatile design that meets the needs of all household members. Avoid combining extreme design styles and overemphasizing form over substance through an overabundance of color and texture. Remember to maintain cohesion throughout the room. Following these guidelines will guarantee the creation of the living area of your dreams.
