This ideas uses the clever concept of a dining table to separate the small space into living room and kitchen. The dining table itself takes up very minimal space as it is built on the same space as a wall that has been knocked down.

#2: Living room and kitchen together along the same wall

If you take out the divider separating the kitchen and the living room, it is actually a single space along the same wall. Just by adding a small divider, it creates the living room and kitchen from the one room. This concept is simple but very doable.

#3: Combine a bedroom on top of kitchen and living room

This room design makes full use of its high ceiling as an advantage and create a loft bedroom on top of the kitchen. In this way, the remaining space can be used as a living room without thinking about where to place the bed. It is an innovative concept for a small house with high ceiling.

#4: Hidden kitchen with living room combo

Another way to combine living room and kitchen together is to hide one from view when not in use. This is the exact idea used in this combo where the kitchen can be hidden when not used for cooking.

#5: Use totally open concept

This idea throws away the concept for compartmentalized living and instead, uses an open concept to place the living room and kitchen very close to each other. How close? How about being able to sit up from your TV show, turn around and start cooking?

#6: Use a small living room and kitchen dividing wall

If you still like your living room and kitchen to be separated due to the amount of cooking, then using a very thin wall divider can be the way to go. The above shows how a small house has applied this idea to very good effect.

 #7: Separate living room and kitchen with big dining table

This is similar to idea #1 but is applied slightly different. To make the room less clutter, simple chairs are used instead of a sofa. Instead, the concept does away with the coffee table as the diving table can be used for both dining and coffee.
