Secondly, it is the subtlety of harmoniously combining two rooms into one room that opens up opportunities for designers to show their creative talent. This talent often concerns the transition, a kind of border where the kitchen ends and the hall begins. There may be several such transitions. Based on the most popular techniques, you can order a creative design and combine several elements in one image.
Colorful color palette
Plasterboard partitions in the kitchen interior andthe hall will partially divide the room and add coziness. The line of transition from the kitchen to the hall can be displayed using color shades or their contrast. The method is that all elements of the kitchen have one color, and the hall - another. This does not mean that there should be only one color. You can choose several shades of one or similar colors. For example, a combination of peach, pink, sand, terracotta and caramel tones looks ideal. The harmony of style and originality will not be violated if you dilute several tones of pink or peach with soft milky shades. The choice of color greatly depends on the direction in which the design of the rooms will be executed. For example, if it is hi-tech, then you should give preference to bright neon colors. Raspberry, lemon, light green, azure, garnet and other saturated colors look ideal for this style. Bright red with a glossy surface is one of the best options, which is a win-win in any color variations.

The effect of playing light and its shades
To "hide" one zone from another,you need to emphasize one of them with the help of color. Light plays an important role in the interior. Bright or soft, saturated or unobtrusive, it can significantly transform the room with its shades alone. To separate the line of transition between the kitchen and the living room, you can choose bright floodlighting for the first room, and soft and diffused for the second. Calm and unobtrusive light allows you to relax and can set you up for a heartfelt conversation. It is recommended to use saturated light for the kitchen, since the work area should be well lit. If the client wants to do the opposite, then this is quite feasible, the only condition is to provide bright light to the work areas - near the sink, place for cutting food, etc. For this, you can use both overhead and built-in lamps with a high color temperature (5500-6000 K). If the design includes a suspended ceiling, the transition of light can be smooth and very effective. A multi-level suspended ceiling is an excellent choice for creating a magical effect of the play of light and its many shades. The more complex the ceiling design, the more options for lighting design. A stretch ceiling looks best in a hall. This way, you can not only add luxury to the interior of this room, but also remove unnecessary attention from the kitchen work area. A kitchen and a hall, combined in one room, can visually expand the space. Harmoniously selected colors, decorative items, light and design will create a favorable environment with a relaxing atmosphere.
