FAQ – Living Room with Kitchen 35–40m2

Is 35–40m2 a large living room with a kitchen?

Yes – it’s a very comfortable size that allows for a full day zone with a functional kitchen, a large dining table, a corner sofa, ample storage, and even an additional workspace.

How should you plan an island in a 35–40m2 space?

You can opt for a fairly large island, but proportions and clear circulation paths are key. The island should organize the layout, not block movement. In our projects, we present proven solutions and recommended minimum passage widths.

How should you place a corner sofa and TV in a large living room with a kitchen?

Most often, the corner sofa defines the relaxation zone, with the TV placed on the opposite wall. Furniture placement should clearly highlight the division into kitchen, dining, and living areas – we often use color accents or wall panels for visual separation.

Is it worth adding a workspace in a 35–40m2 area?

Yes. This size allows you to incorporate a desk or a small work zone near a window or along a side wall without disrupting the overall design. We show how to do this in an aesthetic and ergonomic way.

How should you choose colors for a living room with a kitchen of 35–40m2?

You can afford bolder contrasts – darker kitchen fronts, stronger color accents, or expressive textures. However, it’s important to maintain a cohesive base that visually connects all zones.

How should you light a living room with a kitchen of 35–40m2?

Layered lighting works best: general lighting, pendant lights over the dining table, task lighting in the kitchen, and additional ambient lighting. This approach makes the space functional and flexible.

Is a professional interior design project necessary for this size?

It’s worth considering. A large open-plan space requires good proportions and a well-thought-out layout, and mistakes will be noticeable every day. A professional design helps fully unlock the potential of the space and tailor it to your lifestyle.
