The advantages of having an open kitchen

Everybody knows that the kitchen is one of the most important rooms in a house. It is one of the spaces – if not to say the one that is used the most – every day and where the family spends the most time. Cooking, eating, having an aperitif and even spending time together with the children while they do their homework and the older ones prepare dinner are some of the everyday scenes that occur in this area of our home. Therefore, the advantages of having open kitchens are becoming more and more and many families are starting to see it as an indispensable requirement when choosing their new home, whether it is a second home or the one for the whole year. We’ll tell you what they are:

Points in favor of open kitchens

  • Feeling of spaciousness: As they do not have partitions or dividing walls, these types of kitchens seem much more spacious than closed kitchens since they are open – usually to the living room – and communicated with it. This is a very interesting aspect, especially in rooms of smaller dimensions.
  • They are brighter kitchens: Obviously, being a diaphanous and open space, light enters from all places making it a much more pleasant, warm and comfortable place. In addition, if the room where it is located is not very bright, the feeling of luminosity will be doubled and if the room is already bright, in this way it is even more so.
  • And more comfortable: Being connected directly to the living room or the dining room, the ease of carrying food, setting the table and taking anything from the fridge is much faster and easier.
  • They ventilate much faster: An extra advantage for all those kitchens that are smaller or do not have a window since, as a rule, the living room or the dining room will have one or several. In the same way, if the kitchen has its own window, an air current can be created with the living room windows to ventilate quickly and effectively.
  • And communication is simpler!: Either with your family or with the guests you have that day, the open kitchens allow that, while one is in the kitchen cooking, he/she can have conversations with the rest of the people who are in the living room and not stay isolated. Undoubtedly one of its greatest advantages that becomes especially relevant for all those food lovers who enjoy cooking while following the thread of conversations that take place outside the stove.
