The open-plan kitchens are modern and chosen especially by young people. Most often the choice of this type of configuration belongs to those who lack space and live in small apartments and studios. Those who want to get more space and an opening to the living room, choose an open space kitchen. In today's article some ideas for decorating the kitchen in a practical and elegant style.
The advantages of open space kitchen
An opening of the kitchen to the living room is practical and modern. If you have a small kitchen, you have several reasons to choose an open space arrangement. If the kitchen joins the living room, the space becomes brighter and more airy. Moreover, you can arrange the furniture much easier. You can spend time with your friends while you cook without feeling isolated.
People who spend more time in the kitchen and cook can also watch their favorite show right in the kitchen. This way, you no longer need to set up a TV set in the kitchen and get more space. At the same time, they will no longer feel isolated in the moments when they cook, from the other members of the family who can relax, in the living area.
It is important to note that in order to arrange an open space you need permits for the demolition of the walls. Once you get this approval, you can start demolishing and then arranging. Don't try to do this without notice, as you risk getting fined.
The space dedicated to cooking must be arranged as close as possible to the windows, so that it can be ventilated quickly and be equipped with a hood, to absorb all odors when cooking.
Another element that can separate the kitchen area from the living room is the kitchen island. It usually has several roles: work surface, sink and storage space. If it has a wider and longer countertop, it can also be used as a very good kitchen table.
In terms of flooring - an effective solution to separate the kitchen from the living room is to choose two different types of finish for flooring. For example, you can choose tiles for the kitchen area and parquet for the rest of the space or you can opt for two different models of tiles.
If we are talking about the place to eat, you can choose to dine in the living room, so give up the kitchen table and buy a larger dining table.
One method of visually separating the living room kitchen is to use lighting fixtures. You can choose a sconce for the kitchen, but for the living room you can opt for a chandelier or ceiling light mounted on the ceiling that matches the whole decor of the living room. You can also use some local light sources. They can be wall-mounted, lamps placed on coffee tables near the sofa and armchairs, or floor lamps.
The two adjoining rooms must contain furniture of the same type. A unitary style is one of the tricks for an aesthetic and functional open space structure.
The open space layout has become more and more popular, especially because it allows us to enjoy a generous space rather than a studio or two or three small and uncomfortable rooms.
These few open space ideas are very useful. Open space is a solution that efficiently capitalizes on the space in the living room and kitchen. Sometimes the open space is even larger and includes the hallway, kitchen and living room.
