In the past, kitchens were purely functional rooms that had to be functional, but not necessarily beautiful. In modern apartments and houses, however, the kitchen is a place to work and feel good. Simple, practical kitchens are becoming living kitchens that offer space for eating, cooking, living and feeling good. Find out more about the design of open-plan kitchens here.
Your dream kitchen with the right planning
The most important prerequisite for designing an open-plan kitchen is planning. Both the spatial conditions and your personal wishes must be incorporated into the planning. If you want to integrate the new eat-in kitchen into a new build, it makes sense to think about your dream kitchen as early as possible. How big should the kitchen be? Where should the kitchen appliances be located? Should there be a dining area and how will other living spaces such as the dining room and living room be connected to the kitchen? In the case of an existing property, the spatial conditions are predetermined. But here too, you can influence the design of your eat-in kitchen. Kitchen-living rooms can sometimes be created by removing a wall or making openings. Your architect will be happy to help you with such a project. Before you start planning an open-plan kitchen, ask yourself whether this living trend suits you. Open-plan kitchens offer a lot of openness and transparency. However, this also means that unwashed dishes, kitchen appliances and kitchen cabinets are always visible. Not a problem for you? Then nothing stands in the way of planning your open-plan kitchen.
Spatial separation of cooking and living areas
Although the transitions from the kitchen to the living area are fluid in an open-plan kitchen, attention is still paid to a certain spatial separation. Half-height walls, a kitchen unit protruding into the room, shelves or other room dividers assign a specific function to each area. This makes the large room appear more structured and cozy. The room dividers can be individually and decoratively designed with plants and accessories.
Customize your kitchen
You can give free rein to your ideas when designing an eat-in kitchen. Kitchens from Varia are available in many different styles and can be adapted to your room concept. An open kitchen is beautiful to look at, but must be kept tidy. This is only possible if sufficient kitchen cabinets and shelves are planned to store everything well and safely.
Open-plan kitchens offer many advantages
With an open kitchen, you are absolutely on trend. Open-plan kitchens promote sociability and communication. Friends and family can watch you prepare your meal, you can chat with your loved ones or keep an eye on your children playing in the living room. Apartments and houses with open-plan kitchens appear more transparent, open and bright. The light flows through the rooms and emphasizes the generous feeling of space.
