When there are no dividing walls, it is essential to take special care of the work area to integrate into the decoration. Maintaining harmony favors continuity between spaces, something exciting in an open kitchen. However, special coatings have been used on the floor and on the wall with a hydraulic in warm tones and rustic stone, respectively, to mark the difference between the environments. The interior designer’s proposal: frame the kitchen area with a false ceiling, painted in a striking red color. The furniture comes from the Hogar Dalí store.
17- VISUAL DIVISIONS
When several environments coexist on the same plane, a successful resource is to create visual delimitations, which grant a certain intimacy when the area requires it, as is the case of a bedroom.

Here a chest of drawers was used to optimize the meters.
