Open-plan layouts have become the biggest thing in interiors in recent years, but are they actually the best layout for a kitchen? Kitchens are the hub of modern homes, a spot where families father at the end of a long day, daily meals are cooked and parties are hosted. So the layout will have a huge impact on how you use the space.
Deciding between an open-plan layout vs closed-plan layout can be tricky, and it's important not to get sucked into an echo chamber of gorgeous, expansive open-plan spaces you see when sourcing inspiration. Although the format is popular for good reason, choosing a kitchen layout is a decision that should consider so much more than aesthetics. It depends on the style of your home, the size of the room, the features you need to prioritise and of course your lifestyle.
