And, for small and very small houses, it becomes even more important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to choosing a color for your space, it is important to consider what colors go best with the <a href=\"https:\/\/hookedhome.com\/category\/home-decor\/\">interior of your house<\/a>. By choosing the right color scheme, you can create a visual harmony that flows seamlessly between the kitchen and living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alright, let me put in: <em>always use monochromatic colors for small kitchen living space.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can use pastels, earthy, or light colors, to make your space appear large and <a href=\"https:\/\/hookedhome.com\/baddie-aesthetic-rooms-with-led-lights\/\">aesthetically pleasing<\/a>. Just make sure to use the same color palette throughout the living room and kitchen area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monochromatic colors(same colors in kitchen and living room) create an illusion of large space, making your home look more bigger than actual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Get_multi-purpose_furniture\"><\/span>2.

This will cut down the excess furniture space from your open-concept design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incorporate multi-purpose furniture like ottomans with hidden compartments, or a coffee table with built-in storage space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multi-purpose furniture is quite efficient as it provides flexible solutions according to your needs. For example, you can maximize and minimize them according to your requirements. Its a great way to keep the space clutter-free and also add a modern touch to your living space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These days, this concept is gaining a lot of popularity, so you can easily find multi-purpose furniture for your open-concept living room design, as well as practical elements such as, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acudoraccesspanels.com\/model-numbers\/sf-2000\/\">SF-2000 surface-mounted access door<\/a> or any other elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Use_area_rugs_to_define_zones\"><\/span>3.

By strategically choosing a right rug size into different zones, you can create separate sections for dining room, kitchen, and living room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, for kitchen you can use <a href=\"https:\/\/hookedhome.com\/how-big-is-a-4x6-rug\/\">small rugs like 4&#215;6<\/a>, however, for living room you will need a much larger rug to define the zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, these rugs complement the interior of your house and stop noise from echoing. Choose a rug that fits best with your interior decor, for example, if you want to define the walkways then use runner rugs, if your living space has an awkward shape then you can use oval or round rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This sounds like an easy thing, but believe me, I have got pretty decent results for my clients&#8217; space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Get_floating_shelves_in_your_kitchen\"><\/span>4.
