“I will have lunch in the dining room, and operate in the operating room!” - this is exactly how from Bulgakov’s “Dog’s Heart” he answered the demand to “condense” and leave from one of the rooms of his apartment. Unfortunately, in the Soviet period, urban dwellings with dining rooms became a rarity. Moreover, kitchens in multi-storey residential buildings, for example, in the Khrushchevs, were so cramped that a tiny table for a meal could hardly fit there, at which 2-3 people could fit.

Today, apartments in new buildings have a more comfortable layout. However, even the owners of spacious private houses as a place for eating separate rooms continue to allocate extremely rarely. Instead, most Russians prefer the "kitchen-dining" option, and sometimes their combination with the living room.

Benefits

The kitchen-dining room is convenient in that the hostess does not have to set up a table outside the room where dishes and appliances are stored, as well as transfer food to another room, located far from the stove, refrigerator and dishwasher.

disadvantages

The options that combine the living room, dining room and kitchen have not only a lot of fans, but also many critics. The fact is that this method of housing planning, which came to us from the West, does not correspond to the Russian mentality. It’s hard to imagine an American or a Frenchwoman who cooks pickles in the kitchen or makes jam there. In such cases, even if there is a hood, the room will have high humidity and temperature, which will cause discomfort to other family members who want to relax in the combined living room.

Kitchen Layout Options

There are several solutions for placing furniture, household appliances and the necessary equipment in rooms intended for cooking and eating at the same time.

The most popular options are angular, i.e., L-shaped and linear layout. This is not surprising, since it is precisely when the storage systems and work surfaces, as well as household appliances are located along one wall or with a small branch that the maximum possible usable area will remain so that you can set up a dining group.

If you consider the interior of the dining room in a private house, which, as a rule, are quite spacious, you can use a parallel layout.

"Isle"

Sometimes, due to the presence of windows and the location of the doors, no traditional layout option allows you to place all the necessary appliances and storage systems. In such cases, the interiors of the dining rooms complement the "island". A hob or an additional sink can be installed on it, and in the lower part there are cabinets with shelves and with sliding doors. In some cases, the continuation of the "island" is a small dining table. It can be transformable and retract or shrink after use. It should be noted that the options with the "island" are only suitable for fairly spacious kitchens. Otherwise, you can create an additional work surface or organize a dining area with high stools in the manner of those that are placed in bars using a wide window sill.

Parallel layout

As already mentioned, if we are talking about a fairly spacious room, you can arrange by placing furniture and equipment in parallel in 2 rows and installing a large dining table in its center with original stools. This option is especially suitable for a passage room or one with a large window in the center of one of the walls.

In addition, with the parallel placement of kitchen furniture, as well as household appliances and work surfaces, you can use the "island" and move the dining group into a corner.

Dining Room: Interior Ideas

If the room where it is supposed to take food also serves as a living room and kitchen, then it will require a variety of furniture. In particular, a comfortable dining area can be organized with the help of a soft corner. Among other things, this solution will save space.

A great option is to place furniture for the dining area in the bay window (a glazed ledge on the facade of the building). It often happens in private homes, but today such an architectural detail can be seen on the facades of new buildings. Installing soft seats in the shape of a bay window allows for family meals by the window, as well as saving space.

The problem of a long, narrow combined kitchen can also be solved by using the right furniture. For the dining room in this case, a long sofa in the shape of the letter "G" is suitable, which is better to set as a continuation kitchen set. If you move the dining table away from it, the dining area will turn into a place to relax, especially when the LCD panel is mounted on the wall opposite.

Such a detail as sliding partition doors should not be ignored. With their help, the dining room can be combined with a kitchen or living room.

In the design of premises intended for a meal, a special role is given to color solutions. With their help, you can make the room visually more spacious or even affect your appetite.

Living room dining room interiors

The option of combining the functions of a room for family vacations and eating in the same room is the best match our mentality. After all, many Russians continue to enjoy feasts and receive guests with pleasure. In the dining rooms, it is required to carry out competent zoning in order to separate the place for meals from the corner for relaxation. This task is facilitated if the room has a niche or it is combined with a loggia.

Otherwise, zoning can be done using two different types of floor coverings, multi-level false ceilings, etc. Even the use of wallpapers that differ in color and texture for the wall, which is supposed to install a dining table and chairs, allows you to create modern interiors of dining rooms. In the case of private houses, real columns can also be used (without supporting functions), and a stucco molding that imitates such decorative elements is perfect for design in the style of classicism, even in a small room.

Now you know what a modern dining room interior can be. The main criterion for choosing a particular option should be to achieve maximum comfort for all those who live in the house. After all, joint meals are extremely important for creating a warm and cozy family atmosphere.

A wide soul, table parties, family life, these are the phrases that characterize the Russians. From time immemorial, it has been a wonderful tradition in Russia to go to visit or gather as a family at the same table. For these purposes, the house always had a dining room.

She played a key role in the organization of life in pre-revolutionary Russia, as if playing the role of the center of the whole house.

Unfortunately, it was replaced by the small kitchens of typical housing of Soviet-era apartments, and it seemed that even the name of such a room as a dining room had disappeared from our everyday life.

But fortunately recently, more and more families consider it necessary to plan such a room during the construction or purchase of housing.

Today, the dining room, as a room in the house, is becoming more and more solid in everyday life. And it is very important to give this place a comfortable, finished look in a certain stylistic solution to the interior of the whole house or apartment.

It is important to competently and professionally choose not only furniture and attributes, but also think over the lighting of this room, divide it into functional zones - this will enable the dining room to become a favorite room in the house.

Today, the dining room is most often combined with the kitchen, forming a common space with it. Zoning of such a room is carried out with the help of various, of which there are a great many.

It can be an arched passage between zones or a multi-level ceiling, or even a floor of different heights. By the way, the steps between the kitchen and the dining room are an interesting touch, it gives the maximum feeling of dividing a room into zones and at the same time a feeling of community of space.

Such techniques will give a more stylish perception of the ensemble of the kitchen and dining room. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the operation of the room, using different materials for decoration in decoration.

For example, to finish the dining room you need to use materials that give a feeling of home, comfort, such as parquet on the floor, a chandelier hanging above the dining table, wallpaper on the walls.

At the same time, in the kitchen area, it is necessary to apply such materials as a variety of types of tiles, washable wallpapers, stretch ceilings. This is due primarily to the specifics of this room - frequent wet cleaning and cooking.

Dining room and living room

Another option present in is when the dining room and living room are combined. This option is no less practical than the one considered above. Having finished the feast, you can move to the living room area, in which to continue the holiday or just a family vacation.

This combination also needs strict. But if in the first case it is logical to apply interior solutions related to building design solutions, then more often the separation of the living room and dining room is conditional and is done using furniture, decorative partitions or applying decor in an environment using household appliances or even.

Although the use of aquariums and other "corners of wildlife" today is not as relevant in the interior as several years ago.

Ideal if the dining room in your house occupies a separate room. This, first of all, emphasizes the status of the owner and speaks about his material wealth and a certain lifestyle of your family. About your tastes and traditions.

It is such a room that requires deep study in terms of interior design, since this is the place where your family meets at a common table.

Before buying furniture, decide on the style of the room, consider as many possible design options as possible in order to best fit the interior of the room into the general ensemble of the house.

Thinking of decorating the interior, contact a specialized studio with many years of practice and a good reputation, there you will model the interior in 3D and show how it will look after implementation. Carefully work on every detail of the interior, whether it is a ceiling or decor elements.

Consider all furniture options from classic to art nouveau folk orientations. See how it fits into the overall design of the room, how it harmonizes with its parameters, the design of windows, doors and other dining room attributes.

Browse and imagine the different options for the table and chairs. They are the main attribute of this room.

Think of different cupboards and cupboards for dishes. Pay attention even to what kind of dishes will best suit your dining room, since now almost all can use computer modeling methods, except to put you inside your 3D room.

Distribute the lighting and select (albeit so far virtually) the chandelier of your future dining room. In a word, bring your project to the ideal of which you have always dreamed.

As a rule, in design studios you will be offered not only to model the interior, but also help with its implementation. If the family budget allows, this is a very good reason to accept their offer.

The dining room, at the request of the owners, can occupy a separate room, and can be combined with a kitchen or, for example, with a living room. But not everything, of course, depends on desire, it happens that desires, even those that are not fantastic, still do not coincide with the available capabilities. After all, the size of housing in standard Khrushchev and elite country house  very different, as well as the financial capabilities of their owners.

The dining room is an important part of the house, here the family gathers together to discuss joint plans and events of the past day at lunch, or even more often, at dinner. Various family celebrations are held in the dining room. It also accepts invited guests. That is why it is sometimes called the living room. In the interior of the dining room, as well as the living room, everything should be impeccable and thought out to the smallest detail. Both furniture and utensils, as well as lighting fixtures, curtains and various decorative elements - everything should be chosen with taste, harmoniously blending into the overall design of the room and the whole house.

  The interior of the dining room in the house

The dining room in the house is a separate area, which occupies its own niche in the design of the interior, which is why the design of the dining room requires a separate development.

It is clear that there are a lot of options for placing the dining room, but they all depend, first of all, on the area of \u200b\u200bhousing. Since the area modern homesAs a rule, it allows you to allocate a separate room under the dining room, it would be best to determine for it the brightest place at home, by a wide window. If the question arises about the location of the dining room in a country house, then it is best to give a bay window under it.

The dining room in the house is usually separated from the kitchen, but often has common functions with the living room. As an independent separate room, the dining room nowadays often deviates from standard classical installations in design design - according to the latest fashionable design trends, it also arranges a relaxation area with upholstered furniture, so that the hosts and guests, after finishing the main meal at lunch at the table, you could transfer to comfortable chairs and sofas and calmly continue to chat over a cup of coffee or a glass of good cognac. Also, a fireplace area can be part of the dining room interior.

Well, and, of course, the main attribute of the dining room is the dining table. We have such a mentality - on all holidays it is customary for us to gather not just to meet and talk, but to have a tasty meal together at the common table.

Since the dining table is the main piece of furniture, it is usually placed in the center of the room, and the rest of the design composition is already formed around it. The shape of the table can be different - round, square, oval or rectangular. Tables differ in size. Both the shape and size of the table are completely dependent on the choice of homeowners and their design imagination. Here you need to focus only on your taste and capabilities. It is only necessary to take into account both the number of family members and prospective guests - so that everyone has enough space at the table. It is best, of course, to have a large dining table.

In the process of choosing a table, it is worth paying attention to the quality of the material from which it is made, since the operation of this piece of furniture involves certain loads. The material must be resistant to wear and abrasion, to various possible damage, scratches, exposure to both moisture and high temperatures. It is best to choose a table made of durable high-quality wood, because with regard to the front furniture its design and quality are extremely important, therefore, one of the most expensive and durable varieties of wood is used for its manufacture. Dining tables made of such wood invariably create in the room where they are located a warm atmosphere of home decor, comfort and coziness. In order not to damage the surface of the countertop, for lunch, the table is covered with a tablecloth, which not only protects it from possible damage, but also serves as an elegant decoration of the dining room interior. For this purpose, use various napkins.

But if the owners of the house are far from classics and intend to design the interior of the dining room in high-tech style, then you can opt for a dining table made of glass and metal. A table made of glass visually increases the size of the dining room. It is also much easier to care for.

It is best to put a table nearby with a window and place another light source directly above the table. The best option would be to put a table in the center of the room and arrange chairs around it.

  The interior of the dining room in the apartment

On the territory of our country in past centuries, there has long been a tradition of separating the kitchen and dining room as a service and ceremonial room, and many are returning to this almost forgotten tradition today. But, looking at most of the design projects of modern apartments, we see that the borders of the kitchen and dining room have almost completely disappeared, this is often dictated by the desire to keep within the size of the kitchen, but it also happens that someone considers this a perfectly acceptable and convenient solution. If the size of the apartment allows, then with a sufficient area of \u200b\u200bthe kitchen, it is possible to allocate a dining area within the kitchen. The dining room option is also quite common, as part of the space of the studio apartment option - this is the kitchen, dining room, and living room in the same room with full openness and partial zoning of the territory and its individual elements. In the case considered, the interior design of the dining room may include a wide variety of different options and design solutions.

IN design decision  kitchen-dining room, the best option would be the construction of a kind of kitchen island. Here, all items of functional importance are placed in the center. And against the walls put cabinets for kitchen utensils.

But you can, based on your preferences and layout of the room, use the corner layout that separates the work area from the recreation area. This is a very common option for the interior of the kitchen-dining room. The interior of the kitchen-dining room in one straight line is also no less popular, when the space for the dining room is most effectively used.

It is necessary to separate the kitchen and dining room from each other - to zonate. This can be done in different ways: using the floor level difference (podiums); using various separate false ceilings; using arched openings; applying various protruding structures and columns, etc. The floor coverings of the two zones should also be completely different: in the kitchen it is better to lay the floor with tiles, and in the dining room - to put an elegant parquet. It is better to highlight separate areas of the kitchen-dining room with individual color compositions that are individual for each zone.

The option of placing the dining room outside the kitchen area as part of the living room with possible zoning of the space can also be considered.

In the interior design, combining the dining room and living room together, the style ratio of wall decoration, curtains, and various accessories should be carefully considered. All pieces of furniture related to the living room should harmoniously fit into the dining room group.

The interior of the dining room in the apartment should be selected in the same style, so that all pieces of furniture, dishes, accessories and decorative elements would constitute a single whole, a separate area for eating and receiving guests at the table.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the dining room was a compulsory room in most apartments and houses. Family celebrations were celebrated in this room and guests were treated. However, today the dining room has practically ceased to exist as a result of mass construction. small apartments. Not every house has a layout that includes a dining room, so many equip a dining area as part of the kitchen. In order for your family and guests to have a good time in this room, you need to carefully consider the interior of the dining room, take responsibility for the selection of furniture, the type of lighting and accessories. The interior design of the dining room depends on the allocated room - a whole room or part of the kitchen or living room can be allocated for the dining room. Each of these options has its advantages.

Interior design of the dining room, which occupies a part of the kitchen

Today, people are increasingly combining the dining room with the kitchen due to lack of space. This option will be most convenient for modern apartments. If the dining room occupies a part of the kitchen or living room, then the interior design should coincide with the interior style of these rooms, but at the same time there should be a clear distinction between the functional areas - the working (kitchen) and dining areas. You can divide the room using various design techniques. The arched opening will make the dining room interior more stylish, and the room will give more light. IN contemporary design  for zoning the space often use multi-level ceilings, zoning with the help of lighting, the use of podiums is a good way to delimit the space.

The use of different materials in the decor will not only help to delimit the space, but will also make it possible to make the design of the dining room in the apartment more practical. The working part of the room requires regular wet cleaning, so for the working area you can use tiles, washable wallpaper and linoleum. And for the dining area, it is better to use finishing materials that are less resistant to humidity, creating a warm atmosphere of coziness and comfort - parquet, carpet, laminate, textile wallpaper.

An equally convenient place for the design of the dining room is the living room. After lunch, you can go from the dining area to the area designed for relaxation and continue friendly communication in a more comfortable environment. In such a room, in addition to dining furniture, you should place a set of upholstered furniture necessary to create a comfortable relaxation area.

Interior of a separate dining room

A large scope for creativity provides the opportunity to allocate a separate room for the design of the dining room. Such an option is possible in private houses. Dining room furniture in such a room is usually placed in the center. The most important piece of furniture is the table. It is desirable that he be big. If you have to design the interior of a small dining room, an ideal solution would be a sliding table. It must be made of durable material. As a rule, tables are made from different types of wood. Today, it is fashionable to have a tree of light shades - alder, walnut, light oak. A table made of metal looks very stylish.

The choice of chairs is no less important when designing a dining room in a private house. Chairs should be consistent with the overall design of the room. When choosing them, special attention should be paid to such characteristics as strength, design convenience and durability of the upholstery. The most reliable and relevant material at all times is genuine leather. Important elements of furniture such as a buffet and sideboard will complement the design of the dining room in the house.

The style of the dining room interior can correspond to the style of the whole house or be decorated in any other style: from classic and country to modern and hi-tech - it all depends on your tastes and preferences.

The interior of the dining room in the house

Design options depend on the layout. The dining room can be either an independent room, or combined with another room: living room, kitchen or both functional areas at the same time.

Design dining room in the living room

Such a combination will require space in order to equip the dining area and lounge with sofa and armchairs in one space. The decoration and design of the dining room in this case organically fit into the interior of the living room, emphasizing the style unity. With the help of decorative partitions, color accent, multilevel lighting, logical boundaries can be defined. A simple way to highlight is to use a soft carpet in the resting place, and leave the floor under the dining table uncovered.

Combining with the kitchen

This option is attractive in comfort: to set the table and clean the dishes - conveniently and quickly. A well-thought-out ventilation system protects against the spread of food odors.

Several methods will help to separate the working area from the dining room in this dining room design:

• bar counter as a visual border;
• finishing with different materials: ceramic floor tiles in the cooking area and laminate or parquet under the dining table;
• lighting the table area with a pendant lamp and using built-in sources for the rest of the space.

Studio layout

The combination of kitchen, dining room and living room is a popular modern solution. The main task of design: to achieve a holistic image of the interior and at the same time maintain a comfortable isolation of each zone. For the design of the dining room in this case, the same rules apply as in the combined versions: the dining group is distinguished by a floor covering (you can simply have a bright carpet), its own lighting system, a color accent of the table or the upholstery of the chairs.

Choose an interior style

• For dining in classic style natural wood furniture with carved decor, pastel colors of sofas and armchairs, massive multi-tiered lamps are characteristic. In the arrangement of objects and accessories, the main thing is symmetry.
• The dining area and living room in the country house will be decorated with eco-style, which is dominated by wood, ceramics, stone, natural fabrics. Living plants will complement the atmosphere.
• High-tech dining room design will attract attention with cold silver tones, transparent glass and plastic furniture, spot lighting, strict geometry and the same decor.
• Minimalism will allow you to abandon the massive table and use a sliding table-transformer. On the ceiling, its contour can be duplicated by a suspended plasterboard design for additional zoning. Unusual forms of hoods or sinks will act as decoration of the combined room.
• The interior in the style of the loft combines practical finishing materials, various textures (rough brick, smooth glass) and accent color.

Dining table in the design of the dining room

In the manufacture of tables, various materials are combined: tinted wood, natural veneer, frosted and polished glass, leather, chrome steel.

When choosing a model, they are based on the style of the room: solid classic wooden tables, minimalist glass tables with a transparent tabletop, with support on four legs or one in the center. IN modern interiors  table setting can be the key to the dining area.
