Focus on the canopy

An ultra-trendy element, the canopy is the ideal separation for a dining area in a living room, whether small or large. Letting the light circulate, she separates without partitioning the spaces. It allows, here, to arrange a small office on one side and to place a sideboard on the other. In this living room, an accordion door is associated with this triptych canopy to transform the living room into a guest bedroom.

Fill the space of a large living room

If arranging a small living room can be a headache, arranging a large living room is not an easy task either. What to do with so much space without overloading the space? The first step is to install the seating area and then fill the remaining void with a table for a convivial dining area. You will then know which model to choose, rather round or rectangular?

Choose a different paint

Paint and color, as a rule, are used to differentiate two adjoining spaces. This dining area fitted out in what might have remained a passage area is adorned with a delicate shade of blue all-over. Suspension in natural fibers, table in light wood and chair whose hue pulls towards a pastel yellow illuminates the dining room. The living room, on the other hand, is dazzlingly white.

Using and abusing light

An important point not to be overlooked when creating a dining area: lighting. The lights are used to define it in a living room like this portable ball suspension. You may prefer a curved floor lamp or sconces framing this space like a headboard. The table is also preferably installed near a window.

Dare the bench

In a small living room, it is essential to optimize the square meters in order to create the dining area. The trunk seat is then a major ally. It is installed once morest a wall allowing this mini dining room to be fitted out without encroaching on the surface of the living room or serves as a separation piece of furniture if it incorporates a backrest. We choose it with storage for a two-in-one function.

Connect the kitchen to the living room

Your dining area also serves as a link between an open or semi-open kitchen and the living room. It completes the bar or the central island used on a daily basis. Between these two spaces, there is an extending table that can accommodate many guests. The extendable console will find its place there in order to optimize the available surface. However, care is taken to harmonize the decoration and therefore the choice of furniture.

Use a room divider

If you are lucky enough to have a large living room or a large living room, structure the space with a piece of furniture. It will separate the living room from the dining area. The ideal is to bet on furniture that allows light to pass through: a bottomless bookcase, a bar, plants, the sofa… or like here, with this light wooden arch with a Japanese look.

Lean the table once morest the wall

Even small rooms have the right to a dining area. The space-saving trick is to attach a table to a wall. Two chairs will thus face each other for everyday use. On more festive occasions, set the table in the center and slide other seats around it.

Harmonize your furniture

When decorating a living room, it is necessary to have a harmony of colors and materials. This living room is unified by a white decoration, the wooden legs of the various pieces of furniture and a cotton fabric covering the sofa and the chairs. The Scandinavian spirit has taken over this space. Small difference? A plant fiber lampshade illuminates the living room while a more modern pendant lamp is installed above the dining table.

Don’t forget the carpet

Like light fixtures, the living room carpet defines the dining area. It is chosen very wide to exceed around the table and the chairs. Plain, graphic, colored or neutral, the model will harmonize with the rest of the decoration. It can even bring the touch of originality that will break the classicism of the room as for this Haussmannian living room.
