Open space concepts with multifunctional eat-in kitchens have long been part of our understanding of modern life and are an integral part of our everyday lives. To ensure that the merging of the kitchen with the dining room and the living room does not appear cluttered and blends into a coherent and cozy overall picture, there are a few things to keep in mind. Thus, straight lines and shapes characterize the room, the furnishings are multifunctional use and kitchen furniture and equipment discreet.
Even small rooms can be quickly transformed into a cozy kitchen-living room with a few tricks. No matter how small the dining table is, it is recommended to place it near the stove. This way, it serves as an additional work or storage surface while cooking. If you have a little more space, you can place the table in the middle of the room. This offers the possibility of creating additional storage space under the table with cabinet and drawer elements. Modern cooking islands have an integrated induction hob, the table surface is coated and also serves as a countertop.
While a so-called modular kitchen is characterized by flexibility, cabinet elements with sliding doors score points in a fitted kitchen. Thus, the dishes, pots and other kitchen utensils disappear behind a modern wall of cabinets and provide ample living and feel-good atmosphere. Residential kitchens with modular elements can be moved at will and - depending on the needs - converted into a sideboard or a large dining table. With the right equipment, such as a discreet extractor hood built into the wall units, a well thought-out lighting concept and high-quality materials, the kitchen and living room combine perfectly.
