The open kitchen has become standard in modern homes – it connects cooking to family life and creates a sense of space. But opening the kitchen to the living room demands careful planning of aesthetics, ventilation and order, or the advantage becomes a drawback.
The island – heart of the open kitchen
A central island serves as a work surface, seating corner and storage. Correct planning includes comfortable passage clearances, electrical and water points in the island, and dedicated lighting above it. The island defines the soft border between kitchen and living room.
Ventilation, odors and noise
In an open kitchen a strong hood and quiet are essential, so cooking odors don’t spread to the living room. Easy-to-clean finishes and acoustic solutions improve the shared space.
Design continuity
When the kitchen is visible to the living room it must blend into the overall design – matching tones, consistent cladding and continuity in flooring. Full coordination between joinery and finishing works creates a clean, perfect look.
