combined, while combining the living room with the dining room, kitchen or entrance area, which allows you to get a large open space, made in a single stylistic direction;
two-level, when the traditional living room area in a country house on the second level flows into an open terrace, separated from the main space by a glass partition, which can be moved if necessary.
