While a separate kitchen and dining room were traditionally the norm, the shift towards open-plan living has seen multifunctional kitchen-diners become a staple of modern houses. The benefits of combining the two spaces are plentiful. It can be a great way of opening up a small kitchen to create more prep and cooking space, not to mention creating a larger and more sociable dining area with space for the family to gather, eat and entertain.
When it comes to kitchen-diner decor, a country-style kitchen vibe offers the perfect fit. Relaxed and informal, fresh and bright, country style is cosy and easy to live with and one of the easiest looks to put together.
