Living room next to kitchen
How to integrate the kitchen to the living room
Integrating the kitchen to the living room has almost ceased to be an indoor trend, given that it is a very common option in the vast majority of current distributions. Our ways of life have changed and with it the distributions of the spaces where we live. We prefer larger spaces with lots of light and join the living room, kitchen and dining room is a distributive remedy that maximizes space and flash. In addition, it is a more modern and interesting distributive option than the kitchen separated from the living room.
In Coblonal Interiorismo we have distinct projects that connect the living room with the kitchen to improve the space and raise the brightness of the home.
We show you, below, a series of ideas to harvest all or part of the kitchen to the living room and give your home more space, more light and more modernity.

Reinventing the kitchen to make it the heart of the home
In this so-called “reconversion” process, the island plays a major role, as it serves as a connecting element between the two environments as well as a meeting place in the home. In this project, the interior designer built the entire design around the island.
Island in a classic material
Although this kitchen has a distinctly modern look, the designer has opted for a classic material for the countertop: Silestone® Calacatta Gold in a polished finish. The use of a 5-centimeter strip and the diagonal cut on the front side bring modernity and style to a material reminiscent of ancient marble.

The eat-in kitchen is probably the most primitive form of cooking space: even many centuries ago, people gathered around the hearth fire, because it was warmest there. Today, the combined kitchen is experiencing a revival: in this format, the kitchen is an enclosed space, and included in addition to the kitchen unit is furniture such as a table, chairs, bench or sofa. The classic concept of the eat-in kitchen is currently in demand as never before.
What is an Eat-in Kitchen?
An eat-in kitchen is by definition a room in the house or apartment, where, in addition to the kitchenette, there is also a dining area– thus, it is also known as a “kitchen living room” or “kitchen dining room.” Unlike the open kitchen, which forms a structural unit with the living-dining area, the eat-in kitchen has a door and is therefore a separate, enclosed space. The size of the dining area in a kitchen living room is incidental: even two bar stools at a narrow counter are a dining area, and the corresponding kitchen is thus an eat-in kitchen.
Eat-in Kitchens: Not Always Modern
Things were quite different even a few decades ago: especially in the second half of the 20th century, t
11 bright ideas for an open-plan kitchen and living room
The simple division
Don’t overcomplicate the division of an open-plan space. You need little more than a sofa to successfully separate a kitchen from a living area, and a rug only adds to the effect. You can choose different colour schemes between the two spaces too, but a clever overlap can look smart – achieved here with the rosy tones of the sofa, rug and backsplash.

Consider natural light
A full-width extension in this renovated Victorian home in London has allowed for an open-plan kitchen and living room with floor-to-ceiling Crittall doors leading onto the garden. Although this space is large enough to take a tall and chunky divider like a bookcase or media unit, a low sofa has been chosen to maximise the flow of natural light.
