Competent division of the room – one of the main criteria of comfort of housing. It is correct to make zoning of kitchen – it means, to keep functionality of the room and to leave the sufficient place for cooking and direct meal. Unfortunately, not all design decisions provide it. However it is possible to correct situation with the help of competent design decisions nevertheless.
For zoning of kitchen important that dimensions of the room allowed to implement two full-fledged zones. If there are not enough square meters, then it is necessary to consider the possibility of merging of kitchen and the living room.
Zoning of kitchen and living room: physical borders
One of the easiest and functional ways of zoning of kitchen and the living room is the bar counter. Chairs have to be turned to the field of cooking that allows members of household to carry out meal both on the rack, and in table zone. At the same time, the bar counter allows to hide all household utensils from field of vision.
More expensive decision – the different height of floor. In that case the floor of kitchen zone rises by means of continuous podium, and in the dining room – remains at the previous level.
Zoning of kitchen: decorative methods
Without any physical borders the zoning can be made by means of contrast color scheme. Light tone of kitchen zone will successfully look against the background of deeper color gamma of the dining room.
It is in addition possible to experiment in use of different materials. For example, in kitchen as floor covering it is possible to use tile. In turn floor in table zone can be laid carpet or parquet. So without any bulky designs the territory of kitchen and the dining room will be separated.
At the same time, the contrast light decision allows to create border between zones. In that case, it is necessary to be defined – on what of sites more light will be required. Most often the choice falls on cooking zone. In that case, on kitchen part of the room the intensive chandelier with several lamps is established. In turn, in the lunch territory, dot lamps which allow to create the cozy twilight successful for family lunches and romantic dinners are installed.
