A trend that has been growing over the past year and is loved by many is the idea of having an open plan kitchen diner. But are open plan kitchens really the way forward?

Now, open plan kitchens do come with many benefits. One of these being is that it allows the person cooking to be more socailised. Cooking can be a very lonely process, especially when kitchens are small and closed off. Introducing this open plan design helps everyone to feel connected in the process. The open-plan way of living is the ideal for some families. Allowing parents to always have eyes on their children. Making your home feel more open and spacious.

But for some, the open-plan design may not be ideal. Some people can struggle to keep their kitchens tidy with all the cooking that goes on. So the ability to close off the kitchen when guests are coming round is ideal. It also poses more risks as young children may go to the kitchen unattended and hurt themselves as you are not able to close off the kitchen.

When it comes to knowing whether an open-plan kitchen is the way forward, it all comes down to you individually. Some families will benefit highly from this design, whereas others will not.

We do personally believe that this is the way forward. It is the way to make the household more sociable. A way to make the property feel more open and spacious.

But whilst we believe this is the case, you do need to have a limited. A full open plan living arrangement may not be the way forward. But kitchen diners will become the way forward.
