01 Jul ADVANTAGES OF OPEN SPACE PROJECTS
More and more modern interior design projects include living rooms with open space kitchens. They are suitable for both apartment buildings and individual houses. Here are some reasons why it is recommended to choose this type of interior design.
Why choose living room with open space kitchen
An open space kitchen breaks out of traditional interior design patterns. But modernity is not the only reason why this type of kitchen is preferred by interior designers and homeowners. The living room with open space kitchen has many other advantages.
- Feeling of extended space. Opening the kitchen to the living and dining areas creates a sense of space and flow inside. Removing partitions is especially beneficial in homes with limited space.
- Meeting and socializing. In a living room with an open space kitchen, communication with other family members or visiting friends is much easier even while cooking. Unlike closed kitchens, which force the host to stay closed in the cooking space, alone, while family or friends sit in the living room, an open space project allows everyone to spend time together, even doing different activities.
- More natural light. The open space kitchen also benefits from the natural light that enters through the windows in the living room. Uniting the living and kitchen areas creates a brighter and more attractive ambience.
- Accessibility and functionality. Having a living room with an open space kitchen, practically everything needed in the kitchen is at hand. In addition, such an arrangement imposes more attention to order and cleanliness in the kitchen space.
- Flexibility in arrangement. The connection or union of the two interior spaces – living room and kitchen – can be achieved by placing a kitchen island, a bar or an extendable table, all equally useful both for preparing or serving the meal, as well as for socializing and parties with family and friends.
There are people who oppose the open space style, emphasizing the food smells that can spread in the living room while cooking. But using professional kitchen hoods or deodorizing and air freshening solutions can easily solve this impediment.
Open space interior design projects represent an ideal combination of functionality, style and comfort in one space, which is why they continue to be increasingly preferred for new construction and even interior remodeling works.
