One of the trends in decoration in recent years is the open kitchen. Whether you have a large or a small house, the integration of a kitchenette in the living room is a plus of space, which can also bring a lot of style to your home. We give you 5 ideas to decorate a living room with kitchenette, you’ll see how well this option looks in your home!
Color
The white color and natural lighting make a room look bigger than it really is. If we also unify this space with a kitchenette and decorate the living room with neutral colors accompanying the white walls and ceilings, our kitchenette can look amazing. We can add notes of color in textiles such as cushions or plaid for the sofa, rugs and furniture.
In this interior design and decoration project, a large countertop was chosen to separate the two spaces and a kitchen table was placed next to the American countertop, so that visually the uses of the different unified spaces were perfectly delimited. There is nothing like a good distribution that exerts the limit that is needed to separate two spaces that lack walls and doors!
Dual use of the worktop
Another of the projects of decoration of a living room with kitchenette in which ÁBATON has worked is characterized by a dual use to the countertop that serves as a separation between the kitchen and the living room. On one side, this piece of furniture will exercise its function as a countertop to prepare food, while on the other (the side facing the living room) were placed some stools to sit and use the countertop as a bar. Very useful to have breakfast, or to chat with the family while preparing a succulent dinner.
In this case, to make up for the lack of a kitchen table, a large and elegant wooden dining table can be placed in the dining room.
Disguise household appliances
Style and a harmonious line of decoration should not disappear when it comes to furnishing an American kitchen integrated into the living room. There are kitchen cabinets that allow you to hide the main appliances. This option is ideal for those who want to have an American kitchen with an elegant visual line, which does not clash with the decoration of the living room.
We can also choose to integrate larger appliances, leaving visible part of the appliances, finished in chrome. And of course, let’s take advantage of the architectural elements of our home, as in this case in which the solid wood kitchen table blends with the fabulous architecture of this house.
Closets ‘everywhere
If what you prefer is extra storage space, the American bar can also be a plus when it comes to having storage space, placing drawers in it.
Stove or vitro?
Choosing between hob or vitro to decorate a living room with a kitchenette is essential. For a more comfortable and elegant look, it is recommended to use ceramic hobs. But if you prefer a more industrial look, why not opt for the hob? It all depends on the cook’s choice.
