Kitchen design with a partition: practical and effective ideas for repair
kitchen partition design
When it comes to repairing the premises, many, paying tribute to fashion, break down the walls and merge two rooms into one or acquire housing with the already existing “associations”, without thinking about whether it will be so comfortable in everyday life afterward.
As practice shows, absolutely all owners of the combined kitchen-living room face the following difficulties:
unimpeded ingress of excess aromas from cooked food from the kitchen to the living room;
annoying noise from the sounds of pots and other kitchen utensils, especially aggravated when you so want to relax and unwind;
no distinction between the working area of the kitchen and eating area.
After reviewing and weighing all the problems arising in the course of activity, the owners often come to the conclusion that the kitchen should be separated from the living room in any way.
Popular design solutions and reasons for installing partitions
Consider the existing ideas-projects of creating a partition between the kitchen and the living room with an optimal design decoration, the main purpose of which is to obtain a comfortable and cozy home, without losing the functional load of business and residential premises:
fencing off with furniture;
installation of the bar;
aquarium;
installation of mobile (sliding, movable) partitions;
construction of a full wall.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. In order to figure out which of the above options will be the most compatible with the dimensions of your apartment and the individual needs of the tenants, we will describe in detail the characteristics of each method separately.
Partitioning with furniture
The simplest and surely the most cost-effective design trick is the placement of furniture to delimit the space between the kitchen and the living room. As an imaginary partition, you can use the whole range of a rich assortment of furniture products (various sofas, soft corners, cabinets, dressers, shelves, etc.). Mobility, speed, low cost, and labor resource costs are obvious advantages, but there are more than enough disadvantages to this method:
sound insulation is not achieved;
smells will still penetrate into the living room area;
bulky furniture can significantly reduce the space of the room and "steal" the cherished square meters of usable space.
I would like to note that it would be more practical to use a shelf of various designs and modifications as a partition. With it, it will be possible to use the shelves for household, household or decorative needs.
