Industrial style interior requires space

Wood and brick, concrete and metal - the perfect combination for industrial style

An abundance of light is observed in the interior. Of the materials most preferred are: wood, plaster and brick. A note of “wildness” in the interior is very appropriate.

Adding small elements to the interior refreshes the style without compromising on functionality at all.

In the interior, postmodernism manifests itself as an ultramodern solution. It is characterized by the use of multicolor, contrast combinations, asymmetry. Disproportionate furniture is also characteristic. Vibrant colors: yellow, orange, turquoise, aqua, pink, red, indigo, silver. Combined lighting is often used. A characteristic combination of 3d panels with wood and plaster. To highlight the style solution, it is recommended to use a podium, a multilevel ceiling and a niche with backlight.

Postmodernism is characterized by a free layout and a non-standard look at ordinary things.

Materials for furniture decoration and upholstery - artificial leather, chrome elements
Actual design of the kitchen-living room
Designers are actively using zoning as the most effective way to organize space.To distinguish between the living room and the kitchen, a green area is usually organized.

Joint space requires a rational planning approach
The main design techniques:
- Prioritization The kitchen area is of particular importance, and it has a large area.
- The union of space. The rooms are combined using a single color scheme and related furniture elements. You can create a single ensemble in the interior using the rack. Also for this purpose use a bar counter or sliding partitions.
Tip. If the room is small in area, it is advisable to install a peninsular structure that abuts against the wall on one side.
In the typical design of the dining room kitchen, as in photo 2020, modern ideas allow you to make a fresh note. For example, you can select a corner in the kitchen for a snack.
The space under the island structure will serve for the placement of utensils. The mezzanine, located under the ceiling, will give even more functionality. The trend is a kitchen set with volumetric doors, which can have a glossy or glass texture, preferably dark.
Example: Living room kitchen design. Photo 2020. Modern ideas.

The peninsula is quite suitable for organizing a convenient working area

In the form of a peninsula often place a bar
Color palette
As in the last season, contrasting combinations do not lose relevance. Light colors are combined with graphite gray, black and a touch of dark chocolate. The combination of colors is able to emphasize the design of the combined space.

In confined spaces, most of the interior should be bright.
All furniture should be designed in the same style, consistent with the general gamut. Muted range for the design of the zones: lavender, gray, white. Cold and contrasting shades: mint, lemon, matte white.
Dynamic people are recommended to choose a brighter gamut, or to emphasize, combining colors. Example: an interior made in gray and yellow. Gray is used as the main color, and yellow is the accent that “enlivens” the room.

To revitalize the interior you need quite a bit - a couple or three successful accents
The trend of 2020 is smooth transitions of colors. This effect is easy to achieve if you paint the walls using a gradient technique or ombre. Silver glare on plain surfaces is also popular.
Example: Kitchen living room. A photo. 2020 design. Novelties.

The ombre effect is most noticeable on the walls, but here its implementation requires experience and patience.

It’s much easier to make color transitions on furniture
Lighting
The room should have enough lighting circuits. In each zone there is primary and secondary lighting. A typical solution for the kitchen is lighting with LED strips along the contour of the bar (if any) and along the bottom of the upper cabinets.

Artificial lighting should be different - use different lights in each functional area

It is especially important to qualitatively highlight the working areas of the kitchen
With the help of light stands out the dining area. Used several identical fixtures that are casually hung in the center of the room. The trend is the model of geometric shapes. The backlight is another device for zoning. Designers recommend both spotlights and strip lights. Particular attention is paid to the recreation area, which should be highlighted additionally using a floor lamp or sconce.
Equipment arrangement
Functionality is trending. Here the working triangle rule applies. Optimally, if the storage area, cooking area (sink) and hob form an isosceles triangle. The distance between its “peaks” is 1.5-2 m.

A working triangle ideally “looms” in a corner kitchen
The hood should be powerful, overlapping the hob. This is done to maximize odor neutralization.

In the process of cooking, not the most useful fumes are emitted; a good extract will largely prevent their spread throughout the apartment
Their lighting sources are installed in each zone: in the place where food is prepared, in the dining room, in the recreation area. Example: a luminaire integrated in a module with dryer aimed at washing.
How to arrange furniture
Starting furniture, it is necessary to exclude the joint use of furniture and kitchen storage systems. It is preferable to built-in furniture, which gives more space, as well as designs with sliding doors.

Built-in furniture is relevant for modern stylistic trends

Various types of retractable structures are very convenient, for example, like this little table on castors with an additional working surface
It is enough to put a sofa and a coffee table to create comfort in the interior of the living room kitchen. Photo 2020 demonstrates how to implement zoning. It is recommended to deploy the sofa so that its back is located opposite the kitchen set. Massive bookcases are not recommended to be placed in areas of the room - their place in the hallway or on the loggia.

The sofa is perfect for zoning the space of the kitchen-living room
So, the new interior of the living room kitchen is ergonomic, but at the same time functional. It is recommended to reject the monotony in the interior and turn to individuality.
