subject: Open Living/dining Room [print this page] In this article, and we really get two for the price of one, and we analyze and living open floor plan / dining room using the guidelines of Sheffield Interior Design.
The concept of the plan, "open call" in response to a solid structure of the past, which take precedence over formal job, and living rooms, dining rooms and kitchens - in public places from home - and was all alone, completely separate quarters. Today, we often think of an open floor plan as a very large area, such as a loft in SoHo or in a barn converted to living quarters.
But as you can see here, you can still maintain a sense of formality without losing the flexibility afforded by an open floor plan.
Looking at the first principle, function, and we believe that this arrangement is very practical. One of the paintings in the glass wall in the dining area is the door that leads to the kitchen, making it easy to dash into the Bearnaise sauce for a little more or a second brisket. This also makes working and easy to clean, that the entrance is at hand.
Dining room and function as an area of work is also entertaining by the easy access to the living room, so guests can easily move from the dining table for living area, without feeling they're making a trek across the tundra. And is located in the dining area in the center of the apartment, so it is easy to use the table for a cup of coffee or a family space homework after the dishes are cleared.
Mood - The second of the guidelines Sheffield - is informally to some extent here without the two countries. And make sure the view from the windows of the dining room of the curtain on the window, and wall mirror also contributes to the formality. However, the parity stripes on the bare wooden floor and a formal interview, as well as the style of the furniture in the living room. These chairs and sofa are clearly built for comfort, the seats look like a deep call, rather than imposing.
Harmony, and guideline III, is very important when you are putting together the open plan living, because you want to feel a little room separate from each other, but you also want to align. You do not want a modern look in the living room and the look of Victorian dining area, for example. Similarly, you do not want to use contrasting colors in every room. But at the same time, you want to feel that when I was in the living area, and I was really in a different place than it was when I was in the dining area.
This is achieved by the beautiful harmony here, in the first place with the use of color and cloth. And uses the same materials in the region who are living as in the case of parity dining area, and furnishings are in the same style semi-official. Red upholstered furniture matches the Red curtains, parts, and clean lines in each room are identical. Furniture in each of the rooms is a combination of the ultra-modern, such as loudspeakers in the living room and the wall mirror in the dining area, and the elderly, such as the chest in the living room, art deco dining table and chairs.
To make the most of your space, you may want to consider an open floor plan - as long as you bring in all rooms together through the harmonization of styles and colors, you can find that the sum of the whole is greater than the parts.
