Keep in mind that all walkways, as well as all moving parts of cabinets and cabinets, must function correctly and not interfere with the movement of people.
When creating the design of the living room kitchen, consider the features of the room
Take every step to the smallest detail.
For an average room of 16 square meters (this average value will turn out, given the size of the kitchens and halls in old houses), the ideal solution in terms of furniture load would be:
a kitchen with all appliances and a set;
bar counter;
a large corner sofa with a coffee table and a television wall opposite;

Make zoning into functional zones
To the bar, on the living room side, put chairs. On the edge of the countertop is a metal or crystal vase of fruit. In the corner of the remaining part of the partition, you can put a floor lamp or a pot, with a large green ikebana.
When demolishing the entire wall of the kitchen, the option of decorating the living room with a large corner sofa is suitable.

It is advisable to make the dining area of the kitchen with a sliding table. For a family, a large table is not needed every day, but for guests visiting you, a folding table will come in handy.
It is not worth completely demolishing the wall between rooms, part of the wall can serve as a partition between functional areas
For small rooms it is recommended to use light shades, this will visually increase the size of the room
In the living room you can put a dining table, this will make the kitchen area more spacious
It is worthwhile to decide on the color scheme of the interior. In order for the kitchen zone and the living room zone to differ from each other, it is worth choosing various color combinations. The flooring for the kitchen, choose moisture resistant (linoleum, tiles, etc.), and for the hotel part any material is suitable.
If you want to achieve a harmonious implementation and smooth transitions of lines from the kitchen to the living room, then here's a great recipe for you: make smooth butt transitions. For example, if you plan to lay ceramics on the floor in the kitchen area, and a parquet board in the room, then ask the master to butt-join these zones with a smooth arc or even a smooth English letter “S”.

To save space, it is better to use the L-shaped kitchen
Take care of good lighting in the kitchen and living room

If your living space allows, then the design of the kitchen is 16 square meters. m. possible to complete with a small podium. If you imagine, it will look something like in city bars. This is possible if your apartment allows you, in addition to the living room, to combine a corridor. At the entrance to the “corridor-kitchen-hall” room, put two columns in the Greek style (alabaster). At the same time, the kitchen will be fenced by an arc bar, and the entrance to it will be from the corridor. The result will be an excellent architectural and design solution in the style of bar counters of sea airliners. Also, the ceiling is performed at different levels to give volume and "emphasis" to the kitchen area. Lighting is performed in the form of spotlights on the entire perimeter of the room.

Part of the wall between rooms can serve as a partition
It is desirable to arrange the ceiling in light shades, so you can make the room visually voluminous

The interweaving consists in the fact that part of the kitchen area (for example, the kitchen apron) and partially left wall partition are made in the same color. The second weave you can choose a bar table top and, for example, sofa cushions corner sofa in the living room.
This will create an atmosphere of connectedness and “complementarity” of the two combined rooms.
