Furniture in the interior of the living-bedroom
It so happened that the living room and bedroom are rooms where a large number of furniture is installed. The main purpose of organizing a combined space is to preserve the functionality of both rooms.

Since the already compact room is divided into two parts, the space must be expanded at least visually. To do this, use bright and neutral tones: white, gray, beige, sand, light gray-blue and so on.
The selected color of the living room wall should drench in the bedroom. And it will be better if the transition is implicit, natural and imperceptible.
In the bedroom it is recommended to use non-hard and unsaturated tones derived from the color selected for the living room. If, for example, a light gray color for walls was used in the guest room, then in the bedroom it should be done on the floor of the tone.
Special attention should be paid to and flooring. A more dark color or drawing of a linoleum in the sleeping zone will be visually divided by function spaces. In the case of a parquet, you should pay attention to more dark or less saturated wood shades.
