An open kitchen at the entrance is often found in the so-called American style of planning.
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , it is difficult to come up with something better for those who rarely cook at home or who really need another room in the apartment.
The first thing that apartment owners who decide to use this idea should know is that moving the kitchen into the hallway is a redevelopment that needs to be coordinated.
Pros of a kitchen-hallway
1. One of the main advantages is the possibility of transforming the former kitchen area into a full-fledged bedroom.
2. The functionality of the kitchen will also be greatly improved by increasing the available space. You will be able to allocate separate zones for cooking and eating.
3. Finally, the reconstruction will allow you to bring to life the most original design ideas.
The nuances of combining rooms
When combining rooms, it is important to consider the following aspects.
- Zoning the space to divide it into an entrance hall, living room and dining area.
- Minimizing the amount of dirt getting from the hallway into the kitchen.
- Providing the room with ventilation and a powerful exhaust system.
- The presence of a shoe rack and a wardrobe for outerwear in the room.
How to Make Kitchen Cabinets Invisible
If you're worried that large kitchen cabinets will make your space feel smaller, try making them less noticeable.
It's quite simple: choose white cabinets that match the shade of the ceiling. Give preference to smooth facades with a "push-to-open" mechanism. Place a column cabinet with built-in appliances. Choose a small two-burner hob, a glass "apron" and a countertop that matches the floor.
This way, you will be able to make the kitchen fit harmoniously into the overall interior, and the room will seem more spacious.
