Over the past few years, a kitchen that flows seamlessly into the living room has become quite popular in home design.
That is, we are talking about an open plan, which creates an atmosphere of spaciousness.
But, apparently, the trend, like everything in this life, is coming to an end.
This fashion, according to experts, is probably gradually fading away.
What will replace the open kitchen? Analysis of consumer preferences has shown that people again want houses with a separate room for cooking.
As Yulia Tychino , an expert in the field of design and interior design for the online publication BelNovosti, explained, closed kitchens are indeed regaining their lost positions.
People remember that it is precisely these spaces that provide an invaluable opportunity to be alone.
Plus, you don't have to worry about dishes left in the sink being seen from the living room.
In the West, there is already an increased demand for closed kitchens, especially in bungalows.
Again, houses of this type provide those who suffer with the peace, privacy and comfort they have lost.
Some experts, while paying tribute to open kitchens, say that split-plan living is a timeless trend.
In addition to the aesthetic appeal of the closed kitchen option, there is also a purely practical aspect.
The closed room does not allow excessive noise and odors typical of the cooking process to penetrate into other rooms.
Additionally, divided space creates a sense of intimacy, especially in smaller spaces where people often spend time together.
