How to combine the living room and the study room? How to design the living room and the study room together?

We all know that the living rooms in many houses are relatively large. In order to make full use of the space in the house, many people will build a study room in the living room. This is a common design. So how can the living room and the study room be integrated together? Let's take a closer look!

How to combine the living room and study room

For some families who do not have a separate study room, it is actually a common and reasonable approach to integrate the study room with the living room.

The common practices are as follows:

The sofa is in the middle as a partition, with the audio-visual area and study room on both sides.

The sofa in the middle can clearly separate the TV and study areas, highlighting the functional features of both sides. Different people at home can relax or work in the same space, which can promote communication and enhance relationships.

Place a desk on one side of the sofa

The sofa and the desk are on the same side of the living room. This is a common way to integrate the study room into the living room. Watching TV and reading can be done at different times, which can reasonably improve the efficiency of space use. If the living room space is not large, the furniture should be lightweight. Lightweight furniture is highly flexible and can visually enlarge the space. The space layout is compact but not depressing.

The entire sofa background wall is made into a bookcase

Instead of using sofas and coffee tables, a large bookcase covering the entire wall is placed in the usual sofa position, and a multifunctional long table is placed in the middle of the living room. This way, there is also a desk, and watching TV and meeting guests can also be done on the long table. The functions of the living room and the study are perfectly integrated into one space. At the same time, since the sofa and coffee table are replaced by bookcases and long tables respectively, not much space is lost, and the permeability of the living room is not affected. It looks grand and beautiful.

Design the entire living room as a study

With the development of the Internet, the usage rate of TV in many families' living rooms is not very high. For some families who love reading or have the need to read and study, the entire living room can be designed as a study or studio. It is not centered on the TV, or the TV can be replaced by a projector. Although the living room has become a study, it can also take into account the needs of audition or reception.

Design tips for living room and study room

1. Soft partition

Wall partitions can easily block the light in the space, affecting the beauty of the space. Soft partitions can not only bring in light, but also effectively separate the living room and the study. With the help of soft partitions, the two spaces are separated from each other, giving the space a sense of hierarchy. Soft partitions include bookshelves, grilles, glass doors, screens, curtains, etc., each with its own characteristics. The following introduces several design techniques that are both beautiful and practical.

1. Bookshelf

Bookshelves can not only solve the problem of book storage, but also help to separate the study and the living room. The stacked books, exposed to the sunlight outside, inadvertently reveal dots of light and shadow, which makes the room warm. Adding a set of tables and chairs next to the bookshelf will form a simple work area. The bookshelf can be placed in white or wood color. The simple and elegant design is more in line with the modern fast-paced lifestyle.

2. Glass door

The transparent glass door plays an important role in partitions. With its transparent texture, it reflects light, making the living room brighter and eliminating the narrow defects of small apartments. The transparent glass door will not only not block the view between the study and the living room, but also provide convenience for residents to observe the living room. If there are children in the family, adding a glass door partition can always observe the children's activities.

2. Open Layout

If you do not want the living room and study to be independent from each other, and want to plan a simple work area in a corner of the living room, then it is more intuitive to make the living room an open layout. Without any furniture barriers, you only need to add a table and a chair to work on the table and chair. So, how should an open layout be designed?

1. Comfortable tables and chairs

For people who need to work after get off work, a comfortable desk and chair can reduce work fatigue and relieve tense nerves. The height of the desk and chair needs to fit the height and sitting posture of the human body. Too high or too low will affect the working state. It is best to have armrests on both sides of the chair and a comfortable cushion on the back so that you can lie down and rest when you are tired from work.

2. Storage objects

People who love reading will definitely store a lot of books at home to improve their abilities in their spare time. However, the work area is not large, and if you want to collect books, you need to purchase additional furniture. Wall (floor) racks, shelves, and bookcases are commonly used to store items in the study. Racks can be hung on the wall to make up for the monotony of the blank wall without occupying the work area.

Or you can customize a special cabinet that integrates bookshelves, tables and chairs. The overall appearance is beautiful and consistent with the home style, forming a simple and comfortable working corner to make your home look brand new.

The living room and study are two different areas, but through the designer's sophisticated arrangement and planning, with the help of simple household items, the living room is made tidy, orderly, clean and neat, meeting the actual needs of the residents while enhancing the style and connotation of the space.

Pay attention to details in the decoration of living room and study

bookshelf

As a must-have item in the study, the status of bookshelves is unquestionable. The original wood-colored bookshelf stands in a corner of the living room, organizing books and collections in an orderly manner, making the space regular and simple.

Bookshelves can be decorated in classic colors. White, black, and log colors are all good choices.

Tables and Chairs

A study room cannot be complete without a desk and chair. Choose a comfortable and textured chair, sit upright on it, and calm down to work or contemplate. When you are exhausted, lean on it, as if someone is supporting you from behind.

Decorative items

In addition to the necessary furniture, decoration is particularly important. It can not only change the monotonous appearance of the living room, but also provide storage functions for residents. Shelves have this magical effect. Make full use of the wall space, hang them on the wall, add novel gadgets, and the room will be full of lively and fresh atmosphere.

Or add green plants and flowers to give the space green vitality and get rid of dullness and monotony. Simple and novel vases can also bring unique design aesthetics to the space.

The living room has its own advantages. Breaking the traditional layout and integrating it into the study is also an innovative way. The addition of furniture and decorative items can make the originally monotonous and dull study room look brand new.
