Whether you have an open layout or just a small room where you have to squeeze a lot, knowing how to separate or tie up the zones is what you might need. Double function rooms can save up some space and work for every home, both large and small, and today’s roundup will tell you of one of them: a living and dining room combo. How to pair them up in one space and should you separate or tie them up? Let’s find out.
To Separate Or Not To Separate?
It totally depends on you and how you and your family members use this space. Separating used to be a must but for now seamessly flowing spaces are more in trend but still you can do however you like. If you live alone and want to enjoy the view of the flowing zones in the space, better don’t separate them. If you have a family and you need to use this room at the same time, separating, even with a space divider, can be a better idea.

How To Divide A Living And Dining Room?
In case you decided to divide the zones, there are several ways to do that. The most obvious idea is using architectural features of the space if any: a niche, a half wall or some bay window zone can visually separate a space. If space dividers and various storage units aren’t an option, you may go for smaller ideas like a sofa’s back or a sideboard or some plant stands. Visual separating can also work and it will be less in your face: a different type and color of the floor, an accent wall, different furniture style or color.

How To Tie Up A Living And Dining Room?
If you need to create a seamless space, then tying up will be necessary. The easiest idea is sticking to the same style and color of the furniture in both zones. Adding color accents to both spaces is also a nice idea. Matching lamps and chandeliers, chairs and sofas, artwork and other things will help the spaces look cohesive and integral.
