Basic rules for kitchen-dining room design
First of all, it is important to take care of a high-quality and properly organized ventilation system. This will prevent the smell from spreading throughout the entire area.
Therefore, install a high power hood.
The design of the zones should be different. This will separate the work segment from the lunch segment. For the first, choose materials that are resistant to moisture, high temperature. Suitable tiles, washable wallpaper, fake diamond. It is necessary that maintenance of the finish is as simple as possible. For your dining room, you can choose vinyl flooring or cork. Parquet and laminate are suitable for the floor. You can separate zones by organizing lighting.

A properly selected palette and style helps create a certain atmosphere in a room. Most often, white colors are chosen for the kitchen. It fills the space with lightness and gives freshness. Relevant for small kitchens. Allows you to expand the space.
An all-white room may seem boring. Then it’s worth adding bright spots. One juicy inclusion in the form of the rich color of the chairs is enough. White fills with coolness.
To add “warmth” to the kitchen, use wood surfaces.
If you want to create contrast, it is recommended to choose the classic combination of black and white. Use the first shade for the headset. The table will have white tone. To add an accent, make the wall black by adding details in a second color.
As an alternative to the described combination, you can use pastel colors. White is distinguished by its ability to transform even neutral shades into expressive shades.
In addition to the palette, it is important to correctly decide on the style. If you like bold decisions, then you don’t have to follow the general concept of the house. But it is recommended to maintain some kind of connection between all rooms. This will make you feel comfortable at home.
If the kitchen is located in the house, implementing a country style is suitable. It reflects rustic motifs. The dining group must have various decor on this topic, carving for example.
It is appropriate to implement a merged loft. Particularly relevant for small kitchens. You need to get rid of unnecessary furniture and utensils. You can install an island that serves as a work area and a dining segment. All the shortcomings of the room, which are usually furiously tried to hide - in the form of beams on the ceiling, open communications - need to be demonstrated. This is what the loft is all about.
Loft is the maximum use of multifunctional items.

Another option is minimalism. Fits perfectly into the limited dimensions of the room. Provides a convenient and useful design. Minimal amount decor. It may not exist at all. The palette is neutral, the furniture is laconic and austere.
The key feature is practicality.
Soft corner in the kitchen-dining room - a comfortable dining area
A soft corner allows you to create a comfortable and convenient place for eating. The preferred location is a bay window. This will allow you to use all the space in the room. The corner will be located near the window, which will allow you to observe beautiful landscapes. The place will be bright, filled with natural light. Often the soft zone becomes an extension of the headset. This option is suitable for narrow and long rooms. Allows you to get a harmonious ensemble.
Arranging a soft corner in the kitchen is an excellent opportunity to organize a dining area in comfort.
If the kitchen is distinguished by the presence of complex geometry, it is worth using all the meters as much as possible. An asymmetrical bay window will become a dining area where a soft corner is placed. Finishing in white colors and a light-colored set will help hide the unevenness of the room. For a bay window in the shape of a square or rectangle, choose oval table or round. This will help smooth out some of the corners.
If the dining room has a large space, choose a spacious, soft corner that can comfortably accommodate many people.
Attaching a dining group to the kitchen island
To free up space in a dining room where the island takes center stage, it is recommended to attach a compact dining table and several chairs to the end. By attaching the countertop to the wall of the island, you can create a comfortable place for guests and family members to rest their feet.

This could be a snow-white table equipped with mirrored legs. It is accompanied by armchairs upholstered in dark leather. Complete the interior original chandelier. It will be possible to embody individual, Beautiful design, filled with freshness and light.
Elegant furniture and modern style
If the apartment is compact in size and no more than 3 sq.m. is allocated for the dining room, it is recommended to exclude pomp in the decor. Do not use puffy legs, curvy chair models, or ornate classics. Luxury is not suitable for such dimensions. Everything will look cluttered and cramped.
The spacious kitchen has a large soft corner. A spacious soft area located by the window created a comfortable and original dining area.
- Transparent designs. This is a great option for tricking the eye. Choose furniture made from acrylic, glass or plexiglass. It creates the feeling of evaporating from the room, which creates additional space. It looks beautiful and easy.
- Change the chairs. If space in the dining room is limited, eliminate the use of seats with high back. They look quite bulky. It is better to use compact stools and chairs with low backs. Neat banquettes will do.
All this will allow you to avoid cluttering the room, but will not affect the comfortable position at the table.
Lightweight structures
If you prefer Provence style, pay attention to chairs with forged legs and backs, distinguished by their grace and beauty of shape. If you prefer Scandinavian design, you should purchase seat models equipped with a backrest in the form of a metal mesh. The listed designs look easy and beautiful.
You should not use massive, huge chairs that visually only eat up space.
Fresh Mediterranean style
A similar design option in a kitchen connected to a dining room involves maximum use of ceramic elements. Tiles are used as finishing for floors and walls. She participates in the decor of the room. In the latter case, plates and amphorae are used. The listed items must be painted with a floral motif.
Dishes used in the kitchen should be ceramic, matching the design with decorative elements.
Furniture must be durable. An excellent solution would be objects made of wood. The buffet should have open shelves on which you can place various kitchen utensils and decorations.
A set of impressive sizes will allow the overall interior to look rich.
It is recommended to complement the general decor with mirrors and other details with forged elements. Linen or cotton fabric is suitable as textile for this design. The presence of drawings and patterns is required. “Mediterranean” assumes a U-shaped room layout.

Deciding on the layout of the kitchen area
The most popular options for organizing a dining area in a kitchen are linear (in one row) and corner (L-shaped) layouts. This is not surprising, because it is when storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces are located along one wall or with small perpendicular branches that the maximum possible amount of usable space remains for installing a dining group. In very spacious rooms with a large window or walk-through structure, you can find a parallel layout of furniture and a dining area in the kitchen-dining room
Linear layout is an ideal option for arranging a dining area in the kitchen
By placing the kitchen unit along just one wall, we save useful kitchen space. There is still room to install a spacious dining table and chairs even in medium-sized kitchen spaces, not to mention the spacious kitchens that boast country houses or private households located within the city.
If you feel that a single-row layout can accommodate too little storage, what most The work area space is occupied by household appliances - take a look at the design option for the kitchen-dining room in the photo. The built-in storage system, which is located from floor to ceiling and around the doorway, will provide you with the opportunity to store not only all the necessary kitchen utensils, but also items from other living segments of your home.
In rooms with high ceilings and large windows, there is often no room for an upper tier of kitchen cabinets. This situation can be partially solved with the help of open shelves for dishes and other kitchen attributes located between the windows. In the design project presented in the photo, the storage issue was resolved by installing an additional level to organize a spacious pantry. Thus, it was possible to provide the kitchen not only with a dining area and placement of all the necessary household appliances, but also to create an extensive storage system.
Lack of storage systems or space to integrate appliances in a single-row layout kitchen furniture, can be replenished using the island. IN work surface kitchen island can be built in hob or a sink. WITH inside place retractable or hinged storage drawers, and extend the outer side with the help of a countertop to organize a place for breakfasts and other short meals.
L-shaped layout for the kitchen-dining room
With a corner furniture set for the kitchen work area, in a medium-sized room (from 8 sq m), there is enough space left to install a small dining table with a capacity for 4-6 people.
Corner layout can be the only practical option embedding a kitchen unit in a room that itself is shaped like the letter “L”. In this case, there is no need to zone the space into a working and dining segment; the room itself performs this function.
Parallel layout in the kitchen with a dining segment
In the spacious kitchens of country houses there is enough space to arrange the kitchen set in parallel in two rows, and in the center of the room to install a spacious dining table with original stools. For a walk-through room or a room with a large window in the center of one of the walls, this is perfect option placement of not only an extensive storage system, but also work surfaces and household appliances.
With a parallel layout of the kitchen ensemble of storage systems, household appliances and work surfaces, you can abandon the installation of a dining area in the center of the room in favor of an alternative placement of the kitchen island, and move the dining segment to a corner with partial placement in a soft area.
Soft corner in the kitchen-dining room - a comfortable dining area
Arranging a soft corner in the kitchen is an excellent opportunity to organize a dining area in comfort. A good place for a soft dining area is a bay window. By arranging soft seats in the shape of a bay window, you not only rationally arrange the available space, but also get the opportunity to have meals with the whole family by the window, admiring the beautiful view of the nature of your own yard or the area adjacent to the house.
A soft corner can become a continuation of the kitchen set, in this way you can not only create a harmonious atmosphere in the kitchen-dining room, but also organize furniture in a narrow and long room. If you move the dining table away, the soft seats by the window can be used as a reading corner.
In rooms with complex geometry, it is necessary to use all available space in the most rational way. In an asymmetrical bay window you can install a dining area, part of which will be a soft corner. The snow-white finish and light furnishings of the room for cooking and dining will “smooth out” the imperfections of the room’s shape and design features.
In order to slightly smooth out the geometry of a square or rectangular bay window and the soft corner located in it, install a round or oval dining table. The unusual design of the table will diversify the interior and decorate the decor, and the use of a light palette for the bay window design and glass surfaces will create a light and relaxed appearance dining area.
The spacious kitchen has a large soft corner. A spacious soft area with a dining table attached to it, located by the window, created a comfortable and original dining area.
Attaching a dining group to the kitchen island
To save space in the kitchen, the center of which is the island, you can add a dining area to its end in the form of a small dining table and several chairs. By attaching the dining table top to the wall of the island, you free up legroom for your household from two furniture legs.
Classic kitchen furnishings with white traditional kitchen cabinets and stone countertops becomes modern, acquiring a touch of Art Nouveau style, if you install an original dining group on the kitchen island, consisting of a snow-white table on mirrored legs and dark armchairs with leather upholstery. Add to the decor an unusual chandelier with blue glass decor and get an original and memorable image of the kitchen-dining room.
Choosing a color palette and style for decorating the interior of the kitchen-dining room
The kitchen is the focal point and heart of any home or apartment. And if there is also a dining room in the kitchen, then from the hearth of cooking, the kitchen space becomes a gathering place for the whole family and even receiving guests. The impression of the entire house will depend on how this room is decorated. That is why, when choosing a color palette and stylistic direction that will serve as the basis for the design of the kitchen-dining room, we try to find options that will suit all family members and create a pleasant, comfortable and practical atmosphere for cooking and dining with the whole family.
Interesting and practical color solutions
White will always be the most popular color for decorating kitchen spaces. And the point is not only that the snow-white furnishings give the room freshness and lightness, white decoration and furniture visually expand the space and push the boundaries of the room, but also that, in fact, white surfaces are much easier to care for.
In order to bring brightness to the snow-white idyll of the kitchen space, one colorful element is enough. Use bar stools in a rich shade or bright design kitchen apron.
The white color of the kitchen cabinet fronts goes well with the shine of stainless steel. If you cover the kitchen backsplash with gray glossy tiles, you can create not only a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere in the kitchen-dining room, but also arrange the room in such a way that it will be cozy and comfortable for all family members and guests of the house.
Total use white brings an element of coolness to the room. In order to “warm up” the atmosphere of the room a little, you can use integration wooden surfaces, whether it is part of the kitchen furniture, ceiling beams or design of window and door openings.
When choosing colors for decorating a kitchen-dining room, you can go beyond using white and wood shades, adding bright, rich colors to the furniture. Blue color The base of the kitchen island has become not just a highlight of the kitchen interior, but also an emphasis in orienting the center of the room.
To create a contrasting interior of a kitchen-dining room, you can’t imagine better combination black and white colors in the furnishings and decoration of the room. An absolutely black kitchen set built into a niche with a complex shape and a snow-white island are similar to the use of marble countertops to cover work surfaces. A black wall in a room with light trim becomes an accent, given that household appliances For embedding, we managed to select only black ones.
Another example of a contrasting design of a kitchen area, in which white is used for the facades of kitchen cabinets and a peninsula, and black looks great as the basis of countertops, door and window openings. In this case, the bar counter attached to the peninsula not only acts as a place for organizing short meals, but also serves as a screen, zoning the space into a working kitchen segment and a dining area.
The black and white decoration of the room and the design of the kitchen unit in soft beige wood tones create a truly interesting atmosphere spacious kitchen. A non-trivial approach to design and color schemes makes the room memorable, despite the modesty of execution kitchen facades and lunch group.
An alternative to using white to decorate kitchen furniture is to use light, pastel colors. Against the background of white walls, even neutral light colors will look expressive, but at the same time maintain the atmosphere of a calm and peaceful kitchen-dining room, in which absolutely everyone is comfortable.
The gray color of the kitchen facades will not be boring if you dilute it with the snow-white design of the ceilings with stucco and fireplace, many glass decorative elements on the chandelier and transparent plastic of the original dining area. Despite the minimalist design of the kitchen set, the neutral colors, the presence plastic furniture, the kitchen-dining room looks luxurious. Its furnishings are practical but also attractive.
Another example of kitchen furniture in gray tones; even the dining table top has a grayish tint. But at the same time, the room does not look faceless or boring. Thanks to the skillful combination of white and wood shades, the integration of glass, mirror and glossy surfaces, the interior of the kitchen-dining room is interesting and attractive.
Kitchen space with gray tone cabinet fronts can be bright. It is enough just to add to the deep gray-blue shade of the furniture the brightness of the wooden surfaces and the variegated mosaic decoration of the walls above the working areas of the kitchen-dining room.
The style of the kitchen-dining room - variations on the theme
The design style of your space for cooking and dining will depend on what style was chosen for the overall design concept of the entire apartment or house. For bold and creative decisions, it is possible to deviate from the general motifs in the interior of the home, but it is still better to leave some connection between the rooms of the household, so you can feel comfortable and calm, being in a harmonious and balanced space. If your kitchen-dining room is located in country house, then the country style for its design can be a good option. It is not necessary to install wooden kitchen cabinets with unpainted surfaces; these can be quite traditional facades. But the dining area is better made of wood and you can use either an option with carvings and decoration, or a rustic design in a deliberately simple and even rough form.
To decorate a kitchen in a loft style, a minimalist design of a kitchen set and an island, which, thanks to the built-on countertop, also becomes part of the dining area, is perfect. For stylistic affiliation in this room“responds” to the finishing, in which everything is present character traits design of former industrial premises converted into residential apartments - a spacious room with a high ceiling and large doorways, brickwork and open communications, ceiling beams and ceilings are not hidden from view, but act as space decor.
A classic kitchen using traditional storage system facades, glass inserts on doors and natural stone countertops is filled with marine motifs if you use an exclusively white and blue color palette. Textiles, dishes and kitchen accessories in blue tones look great on a white background and add a touch of sea freshness and coolness to the atmosphere of the room.
The minimalist style presupposes the most practical and convenient design of space without the use of excessive decor, and sometimes even the absence of decorations as such. Strict and laconic forms of kitchen cabinets, a neutral color palette, the use of natural materials and the installation of furniture, household appliances and work surfaces in accordance with the canons of ergonomics - the resulting interior is not only rational and functional, it is also visually attractive.
