An open floor plan is favored in many modern offices and homes these days. This improves the light in the house, increases traffic flow, reduces construction costs, and encourages communication among people. A convenience space that comprises living and dining rooms can be used in both small and large houses.
Here we’ll look into some excellent living room and dining layouts.
L-Shaped Kitchen, Diner, and Living Room Layout
This living space features three areas a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. The L-shaped room has been divided into three distinctive areas, with the kitchen working as the middle room that helps one space transition to the next.
The kitchen island is key in separating the living area from the kitchen, and the way the back of the sofa is facing the kitchen also serves to highlight the difference between the two spaces.
The dining area is tucked into the smallest part of the room and is defined by a low-hanging light. The continuity of style allows the room to work as one whole space despite the layout creating definitions between the areas.

Open Plan Living Layout
This is a great example of how one room can be easily split into two distinguishable spaces simply by the way furniture is laid out.
Here, a sofa is tucked into one corner of the room, and an area rug with a coffee table clearly designates this part of the space as being the living room. The dining table and chairs are away from the rug, which helps to keep this part of the room separate.

Slick White Studio Layout
This contemporary space utilizes one large rectangular room as two different areas, a living room, and a dining room.
The significant distance between the dining table and the living room furniture helps to keep the spaces visually separate, and the addition of an area rug in the living room serves to further accentuate the different parts of the room.
The two sofas are positioned facing each other, which makes for an ideal social space, and also means anyone seated can enjoy the views from the large window.

Multifunctional Living Space
This large room accommodates a kitchen, dining room, and living room. The kitchen is at one end of the space and is kept confined by the use of an island that acts as a barrier between the kitchen and dining areas, showing clearly when the kitchen ends and the dinner area begins.
The living room is at the opposite end of the space to the kitchen and is based around an area rug that defines the part of the room that is used as a living room.
The dining space sits between the living room and kitchen, and this space is defined by the low ceiling pendant light that hangs over the middle of the dining table.

Large Living and Dining Room Layout
This is a generously proportioned room, which is divided into two areas with different functions. The architecture of the home itself helps to separate the living room from the dining room, with the use of an archway between the two areas.
The way the furniture has been laid out ensures the two spaces are clearly separate; however, they are also open to each other, which can encourage communication between the two spaces.
The sofa in the living room is facing toward the dining table, which means someone sitting in the dining room could still talk to the person sitting on the sofa.
