The layout with open space was once the privilege of bohemia, at that time it was customary to exhibit your life as if on a showcase, turning it into an art object. No walls, secret rooms, allowing anything to hide and retire.
This trend has stepped into the masses thanks to the king of shock, the modern art guru Andy Warhol.
Over time, the passion for publicity is gone, but the studio remained. They liked the laconism, comfort and accessibility. Lifestyle has become a format of life.

The idea to connect the living room and the kitchen turned out to be successful
Due to the lack of walls, it becomes possible to realize exclusive author's ideas that allow creating a stylish space while preserving its ergonomics.
One of the important techniques used in creating such an interior is zoning. Despite the fact that the living room and kitchen are becoming a single whole, the boundaries of the functional zones are visually emphasized. Thus, every corner of the room gets its exclusive role, and minor design flaws can easily be leveled.
Color solution in this living room
Smooth transition of one zone to another is carried out using color shades on the floor, ceiling or symbolic volume elements that proclaim the territory for rest, work or eating.
This is how the psychological need of the owner of the apartment is realized in changing the situation.
The color gamut of the plays on the contrast of light and dark. Furniture is exceptionally light in all senses. It does not create a crushing mood with its pomposity, massiveness and quantity. At the first desire the owner of the studio can easily make a reshuffle.

Location of interior and furniture
Living room-studio implies the presence of a large space, not overloaded with excess items of interior.
The basis of the concept of this house was the contrast - dark furniture, light walls and ceiling. The latter, made in one color visually expand the room, filling it with air and light.
On one wall is a narrow niche under the TV with comfortable small shelves for CDs and books. The surface pattern reminds natural wood veins, speaking about the nature and ecological compatibility, which is so lacking for the inhabitants of large megacities.
On the sides of the niche is an acoustic system - an integral attribute of a modern home.

The mirror in the beige frame, located at the window, becomes a conductor of additional natural lighting, performing simultaneously its direct tasks in a dwelling with clear zoning.
Under it is a compact chest of drawers for linen and bedding.
On the opposite wall elegantly located massive wooden shelves, which will be an ideal place for storing books and cute trinkets, brought from interesting trips. Small lockers with light doors, echoing in style with the television niche, will help to hide items that the owner does not want to exhibit is not a general overview.

The central place in the living room is an ivory corner sofa with soft cushions, which bring home cosiness to the interior.
Behind the sideboard of the sofa is a large table of regular square shape and 6 chairs with a light mesh back in Japanese style.
The composition is complemented by another narrow high table, playing the role of a bar counter at a party, and during a dinner party, it can be put on a large container with a salad, soup and additional utensils that may be needed. This is not only stylish, but also functional.
The kitchen in the living room is convenient and you can

The green fern in the tall red pots clearly delineates the cooking area. Living plants create an atmosphere of purity and lightness.
Kitchen set with built-in appliances is laconic. It is built on canonical contrasts - dark shelves and white glossy work surfaces, which are easy to care for.

Ceiling decoration
Special attention is paid to the design of the two-level ceiling. One part is made of rectangular wooden pendant structures of saturated chocolate color with a clear geometry, the other - from light squares. The spotlights on these three-dimensional decor elements, located above the functional zones, emphasize the zoning of the room.
Additionally on the ceiling there are three-dimensional bubble chandeliers made of transparent glass and hanging lamps that create an atmosphere of home comfort.
