A huge plus of combining a kitchen with a living roomis an increase in space, especially convenient in small apartments. Such redevelopment of premises helps to save space in the home. But there are also disadvantages to this: you need to somehow get rid of the smells of food in the living room and delimit the space in the room. The first task is easily accomplished with a powerful hood. can be done with sofas, wardrobes, bar counters, erecting a wall or partition, using curtains. Each of these methods differs in complexity, cost, efficiency. The choice is influenced by the size of the living room and the construction skills of the owners of the house. Separating the kitchen with furniture is the easiest and most inexpensive option. In this case, only a visual differentiation of the room occurs, but in fact nothing changes. Building a wall is the most expensive method, but also the most effective. The partition divides the room into two parts. It immediately becomes clear where the kitchen and living room are. For construction, drywall, sibit, bricks, plywood, fiberboard or chipboard are used. The oldest way is to use curtains. It's simple and effective. Previously, people in private homes often hung curtains instead of interior doors. Now this can be played up in a modern way and used to separate the kitchen and living room.
How to arrange furniture and hang curtains?
Divide the kitchen from the living room by usinggypsum plasterboard, which can be made in the form of a bar rack or shelves. A good option for separating the kitchen is the bar counter. It is very fashionable, comfortable and beautiful. You can make it yourself, pick up a kitchen set in the store with her, order in any firm the production of individual furniture. Better do it yourself or order. Find in the store a set with a bar, suitable for you, is very difficult. It is functional: shelves and cabinets are made in it, small refrigerators are put. If you get high chairs, you get a small dining table. From above, you can install the holders for glasses to save space in the headset. Select the kitchen area in the room with the help of cabinets. To do this, it is better to use 2 cupboards at once. From the kitchen - a dish or another, and from the living room - a dress or book. They are put back against each other.

Installation diagram of a plasterboard partition according tometal profile. Thickness doesn't matter. You can divide the space with one cabinet, but then on the other side there will be an empty, useless and uninteresting back wall. If you decide to do this, then do not forget to install additional lighting fixtures in the kitchen, because the cabinets will block some of the world.
