Open layouts are super popular today because they let to use all the potential of the space, make advantage of every inch of even a small apartment, besides, it will feel airier and more spacious. Open kitchens united with dining or living spaces have become a norm already, even if the rest of the home doesn’t have any open layouts. Uniting a kitchen with a dining space and also a living space will let you have cooler parties or invite the whole family that will interact while cooking, eating and having fun. Today I’d like to have a look at some ideas of such layouts, and I’m sure that you’ll find something for your home too.
Kitchens With Diners
Uniting a kitchen and a dining space is a very popular idea, it helps the whole family to interact: grownups cooking and kids playing and waiting at the table, for example. This is always a win-win idea, especially if you lack space – just create an open layout, and it will feel spacious and look airy and inviting. You can keep both area in one style: minimalist, farmhouse, industrial, mid-century modern or vintage and choose furniture and accessories accordingly. Connect your two zones using the same pendant lamps or the same shade of wood for the countertops and the dining table. Another idea is to keep the style but make them contrasting, for example, make the kitchen white or grey and keep the dining are in black, looks chic and divides the space just a little. One more way to go is to create eclectics: a modern kitchen with a rustic diner or a minimalist kitchen with a modern and not so minimalist dining space.

Kitchens With Living Rooms
Uniting a kitchen and a living room, and of course the eating area somewhere here is another great décor trend. Here you’ll usually see both spaces done in the same style and colors because it’s easier to do so and this way you’ll get a more spacious look. But of course you can visually separate the two zones using different shades, for example, black and white for the kitchen and light grey or off-white for the living room. On the contrary, accentuate your living space with some bolder shades and keep the kitchen crispy white. Get inspired by more ideas below!
