Since the so-called “open concept” became fashionable to gain meters and have a greater sense of spaciousness, living rooms and dining rooms have come to join and meet in the same room, but this does not mean that we want to give up any of them, as both are necessary and useful. That’s why today we bring you some tricks and keys so that each area can have its own personality, and at the same time live in harmony with the other.
Otaru 02 Collection (sofa and pouf) – Samira 156 (armchair) – Otaru 02 and Samira 156 (cushions) from Fashion Book 17 by Visual Textures by Aquaclean.A basic tip is to place different carpets in each area, so that visually gives the feeling that we have divided the space in two. They can be carpets that combine with each other, but have different details.Another widely used trick is to use different ceilings. Either using different heights, or with moldings that divide the space. Try to draw on the ceiling the two zones you want to delimit in the room. You will see how with this simple method you will achieve a great change.

Distribute the furniture that make up the two spaces dividing them with the columns or separated by the arches that may be in the room.Try to highlight a wall of another color that matches the majority tone. For example the one in the living room, where the sofa and armchairs are placed. This visually reinforces the feeling of two different environments. It is an economical and easy solution to carry out.
If you plan to make any reform soon, take the opportunity to create two heights on the floor. It is a solution similar to the ceiling, but with greater impact. Raise for example the dining area with one or two small steps and if you can, create a small wall between the two areas of half height. With this combination you will keep the open concept, but clearly divide the living room from the dining room.sliding doors are also a good idea to join and divide the areas in a simple way. In addition, to gain space you can create the door opening within the wall itself, which disappears completely and does not take up space.
Naomi Collection 213 (sofa and pouf) – Matsue 321 – Mika 321 – Matsue 324 – Nanao 324 (cushions) from Fashion Book 16 by Visual Textures by Aquaclean.But without a doubt, the most used trick is that of sofas and armchairs. Since they are generally large pieces of furniture, they are perfect to be used as room dividers. The most common is to place them in an “L” shape, so that the back of at least one of them faces the dining area and the space created between them forms the living room, with a pouf in the middle and the TV in front to reinforce the feeling of living room.As you can see, there are plenty of options to achieve two rooms in one, and to enjoy two of the most used rooms for socializing.
