Same here! Talking about traditional setup… It probably varies from place to place? Here in north-east europe traditional peasant setup was kitchen and living room together. Kitchen stove was used to heat the house as well. Usually houses would have cold side and warm side. Warm side was warmed up while cooking. People would also sleep in the warm side during the winter. It only started to change in 20th century with people moving to apartments or building fancier houses en masse. However by the end of 20th century people were already gravitating back to the usual setup of joint kitchen and living room. Which is the norm in new buildings for the past 20 years or so.
