How to Fit Everything and Even More in a Small Kitchen-Living Room

A small area is not a reason to give up on a stylish, neat and well-thought-out interior. On the example of a 38 sq. m euromaster from designer Milla Gench's project, we show how you can decorate a small but functional kitchen-living room.

For the decoration, we chose a modern style. The advantage of the room was having three windows, and the absence of partitions between the living room and kitchen allowed maintaining an abundance of light. The walls were painted with a light, washable paint, the kitchen floor was clad with ceramic granite, and in the living room, laminate with a warm wood texture was laid. The glossy dark blue apron echoes in color with the sofa upholstery in the living room.

The kitchen work zone is very small, so every centimeter was counted. We bought a ready-made corner cabinet. We gained space thanks to the compact refrigerator. The upper cabinets were placed only on one side, as the kitchen adjoins the wall of the bathroom from the developer and furniture cannot be mounted there. We provided all necessary appliances: a dishwasher, cooktop, range hood, refrigerator, oven, and microwave.

A small fold-out table and a couple of chairs with soft seats neatly divide the room in half: one part for the work zone and another for relaxation. A bright accent in the living room is a blue velvet sofa. The sofa easily transforms into a sleeping place, which dramatically increases the functionality of the room.

The sofa was complemented with a minimalist coffee table, where it's convenient to put a laptop or a cup of coffee. The TV unit opposite serves as an additional storage space. Textured rugs and decorative cushions make the interior more voluminous and expressive. The finishing touch is a minimalist black floor lamp that provides local and decorative lighting.
