Kitchen-entrance hall: photos, finishing options

The planning of small-sized premises has always been relevant. In modern apartments, the possibility of combining the most seemingly incredible options for zoning space appear. One of these extraordinary approaches can be attributed to the kitchen with an entrance hall. Despite the seeming impracticality of this room, in fact everything is different - the space is obtained very functional, ergonomic and visually aesthetic. Consider all the subtleties of the arrangement of the kitchen in this article.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Combining

The kitchen-entrance hall is a rather rare housing planning, which is possible not everywhere. Similar combination is advisable in two cases:

• with emergency shortage of the useful area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment;
• with low demand of the kitchen, where the owners are limited to the preparation of fast food and beverage products.

Like any process of planning space, combining the hallway with a kitchen room has a number of its advantages and disadvantages. Consider positive aspects in more detail:

1. This room acquires a more organic look if it comes to small apartments.
2. Kitchen-hallway ergonomic, because All functional zones are in the proximity of each other.
3. This room is easily and quickly cleaned.
4. Housing owners will be able to save the scarce space for the organization of the sleeping zone or living room.
5. The repair of the kitchen-hallway will require significantly less financial investments.

Among the shortcomings of such zoning it is worth identifying such features:

1. The need to coordinate and obtain relevant deployment documents. At the same time, the WEK is entitled to refuse the owners due to the danger of the offset of the capital wall, if there is such. And also if the apartment has a gas liner, which cannot be moved during the repair process.
2. Not in every house kitchen-entrance will be comfortable. With some types of planning, the work area of \u200b\u200bthe hostess will be completely devoid of natural lighting, which will make the room very uncomfortable. In addition, it will be necessary to install intensive illumination in order to sufficiently light the room. It also leads to financial costs.
3. There may be a problem of storage of things, because The effect of "open space" has the opposite direction - the lack of functional furniture, niche, etc.

Opportunities planning

The kitchen combined with the hallway can have several options for organizing space. The most traditional is redevelopment of a two-bedroom apartment, when the indoor and dining room zones separate the sanitary unit. Thus, it turns out to be in the center of the united space, which makes the room more organic and functional. Disappears the feeling that you get on the table directly from the threshold. For such a repair, as a rule, no demolition of the capital wall is required and receiving any permits.

For redevelopment, you will need to disassemble the partition between the rooms. Optionally, you can carry the bathroom and move it into the angle of combined space. Undoubtedly, in this case, it will be necessary to carry out additional construction and repair work, but in the end you will get the most spacious and convenient room. You can zonate such a kitchen-hallway by means of furniture, facilities of the podium or various finishing materials. We will tell about it in more detail below.

In order for clothes and other items from the wardrobe, the smells from the kitchen zone should be provided with high-quality ventilation. In addition, pay attention to ensuring the corridor tightly closing boxes for shoes, niches and cabinets.

Sounds of design of kitchen-hallway

In order for such a room to remain in perception in one whole, it must be combined with a visual way. There are several techniques for this:

1. Apply in the interior design of the same type finishing materials. For example, ceramic tiles, siding, wallpaper. For a variety you can lay out products in different directions. However, this option will be aesthetic when using monochrome materials, without any patterns and patterns.
2. If you want to make a combined space with a harmonious, but differ in design, you can make several color shades. For example, a kitchen set can be selected in a contrasting shade to a shared finish. The same can be done with floor covering or ceiling.

The use of furniture when planning a kitchen-hallway is the optimal and least cost way to place a room with maximum convenience. Consider the main techniques:

1. The most common option is a P-shaped furniture. Such an alignment will make it possible to designate the workspace: the cooking area, recreation, food intake. If you put the headset with the opening part of the P-image to the window, then a separate island part is obtained, which is filled with natural light. With this layout, the kitchen functionality completely eliminates any discomfort from the neighborhood with the hallway.
2. Also, the P-shaped design can be added to the bar, which will become a kind of transient element between two different areas.
3. Glass partitions from a matted material can be used as separating structures. They will allow to divide the space into two independent zones from each other.
4. Also a good choice of headset is island kitchen. However, in such a layout it is important to take into account that the use of the hood with hood has its drawbacks. Since for combined premises, the installation of a large-sized dome design will be required, the free space of the kitchen literally "denses". Such a hood will look rapidly and occupy a lot of space.
5. For mining apartments, it is desirable to choose an angular headset instead of a P-shaped design. It will take about less useful space. At the same time, placing the sink in the corner itself, you can win a little space and expand the work surface. In the case of a planning when the washing is far from the riser, the podium can be built. Under its floorboards and will be held all communications. In addition, the kitchen space will rise above the hallway, which will create a visual effect of two rooms in one.

Important! Creating a podium is possible only in rooms where the ceiling height is not 2.8 m.

Zoning and decoration of kitchen-hallway

The receptions of the zoning of the room make it possible to beat the space favorably by making it the most functional and harmonious. With this solution, you can separate the working area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen from the dining room, hallway, dressing room, etc. In addition, zoning will allow you to connect several styles. For example, from the hallway in the style of concise minimalism, you can get straight into the kitchen with the Scandinavian interior. And both styles will become harmonious elements of the whole design.

As noted above, the main advantage of combining the kitchen with the hallway is to obtain an open space, which is achieved by the absence of unnecessary walls. In such a room, the hostess feels comfortable even with a minimal place of the apartment. However, that the functional zones do not merge into mess, you can resort to such methods of zoning:

1. Installing a mobile partition or shirma. Similar structures can be made of any material. The most practical and affordable will be: glass, metal, wood or plastic. Such partitions can separate the kitchen zone at the time of the family feast, and when necessary, it is easy to fold so that the room will reoperate the room again.
2. It is also possible to build solid polls on the floor and the ceiling to which the fabric is attached. Similar screens look in the apartment very original and give a touch of comfort. In addition, they prevent smells from the kitchen part of the room to the hallway. The disadvantage of such a design is bad sound insulation.
3. Zoning light. The right choice of lighting elements will allow you to highlight the functional zones important for you. For example, more intensive illumination can be made above the working surface of the kitchen, it may even be a diode tape countertop. For the hallway it is worth installing less bright devices that give multiple warm light.

Kitchen-entrance hall: interior

When planning and designing a kitchen design combined with an entrance hall, it is necessary to pay special attention to the selection of furniture. Above, we reviewed the types of furniture structures that optimally fit into the room atmosphere. And relative to the design it is worth emphasizing aspects:

1. Regardless of how the stylistic direction is selected for the interior of the room (modern, country, Shebbi-Chic, classic, loft, etc.), the most important rule - styles should be harmonized with each other. For example, the classic facade of kitchen wooden furniture must match the proportions and fittings of products in the hallway.
2. Both functional areas may differ in color palette and stylistics, however, manufacturing material, upholstery, texture, decorative elements must be as similar or identical. Thus, with a kitchen in the style of traditional country, there will be a harmony of an entrance hall with furniture and rattan. Pastel tones, abundance of a tree, frontones are those binding elements that will connect both designs.
3. You can choose a tile or washable wallpapers as the walls of the walls that will cope with the aggressive impact of moisture and pollution.
4. In order to protect the zones subjected to intense mechanical exposure, the dark shades of finishing materials can be used in the interior. It will become a bright accent of the design and the disguise method at the same time.
5. When creating the interior, pay attention to the maximum light illumination. Since its space must immediately perform several functions, make the backlight comfortable and cozy for the long stay of households. In the hallway you can install the flooring, as well as wall scaves. In the kitchen on the contrary - make bright abundant lighting, which will give an atmosphere of space.

Accessories in design

The design of the kitchen, combined hallway, can be performed according to its plan, taking into account the above rules. However, in addition to this, you can list the following decorative techniques, allowing the most aesthetically arranged room:

1. An interesting way to decorate can be the construction of arched construction between the hallway and the kitchen. It can be done both in the classic style and the mode of modern.
2. Also as zoning you can use a large aquarium. He will be able to visually distinguish between spaces, leaving enough space for a comfortable stay in the room.
3. Use furniture with the same upholstery to arrange hallway and kitchen. It can be completely different types of products, however, the harmonious combination of texture and upholstery material will become a unique combining reception in design.
