Small kitchen area in the living room interior. Functional zoning ideas
In modern houses and apartments, the kitchen can take up very little space: a small fenced-off space in the living room or an area by the window, equipped with the necessary furniture and appliances, is enough.
Functionality and comfort: a sofa as a space divider

A compact corner sofa, complemented by a golden openwork coffee table, does an excellent job as a space divider. It marks the boundary between the kitchen and the living room, and perfectly organizes the passage area.

Cozy kitchen-living room in Provence style
In a Provencal interior, comfort is created not only by the beige-sand color scheme with blue accents, but also by special accessories and pieces of furniture. Lamps and a chandelier, reminiscent of wickerwork in design, add a touch of special Provençal charm to the interior. A compact dining area with a round table and light chairs is located on the border of the two zones.

Selection of furniture for a studio of 27 sq. m
You need to remember that furniture in a small apartment should be miniature and at the same time as comfortable as possible. You will have to carefully consider every square meter of the correct economical use of space.
When creating an interior, bulky, massive pieces of furniture should be avoided.
Unity in the interior of a living room combined with a kitchen
The idea of combining the kitchen and living room appeared a long time ago, but today such layouts are especially popular. The interior of the kitchen-living room, designed in a modern style, will favorably emphasize the timelessness of the basic idea.

The shine of matte and chromed metal, glass and polished stone are constant attributes of modern interiors. But what really looks charismatic is the uncompromising combination of ultra-modern style and black and white tones. Such an interior has a strict geometry of lines, a clear logic of construction and a clearly expressed purpose - to remain relevant for a long time.
Unifying radial pattern and creamy chocolate palette
A luxurious combination of art deco and classics, harmony of colors, lines and shapes visually unite the space of the spacious living room. A ceiling rosette with a stained glass window and a massive chandelier with lampshades and crystal pendants, made on a truly theatrical scale, accents the sofa area. The radial shape of the magnificent sofa echoes the ceiling decor and lambrequin curtains.

The combination of light neoclassical and art deco helps to give a delicate classic interior a daring or slightly extravagant touch. The design of the dining room, located between the living room and the kitchen, has a noticeably greater Art Deco influence; in the living room, calmer, softer “intonations” predominate.

Round table and chairs with a “carriage” screed: the compact dining area is located by the window, visually dividing the studio space of a small 1-room apartment. The chosen style gives the atmosphere an aristocratic appearance and grace.
Even the small area of the apartment (only 46 sq. m.) did not become an obstacle to the development of a high-quality interior with a spacious kitchen-living room and a separate bedroom.

Options for designing a balcony in a studio 27 sq m
Study
As mentioned earlier, it is better to move your personal office onto the balcony. Then a couple of nuances will arise, such as conducting electricity, insulating walls and floors. But, thanks to the correct use of space, freedom will remain in the apartment, and the office will be a quiet and calm limited place. You can play up the interior of the office by placing a table with shelves on one wall, and a large long rack for books and documents on the opposite wall.
The main feature of the office is its relative isolation from the rest of the room.
Kitchen
In addition to the functional issue, do not forget about the creative arrangement of the kitchen area. If there is not enough space in the room, you can move the kitchen to the balcony by removing the window opening. Then the room will continue and become larger. But in this case you will have to take care of insulation, electricity, gas and water.
Relocating the kitchen will help get rid of the noise of household appliances, running water and odors during cooking.
Dinner Zone
If you place the kitchen in the corner on the window side, then it will be convenient to use the balcony area to organize a dining room. You can use a small table against the wall or a long bar counter along the window.
As a rule, the apartment layout includes a dining area next to the kitchen.
Rest zone
If the apartment is functionally equipped and there is some space left on the loggia, then you can use it to create a recreation area. You can make a window wall and place a small sofa or two armchairs, a small coffee table and a bookcase on it. Dim lighting in the evening will create a romantic atmosphere.
An excellent solution would be to organize a small corner for rest and relaxation.
