Understanding the Pros and Cons of an Open Concept Kitchen for Your Family

Although open concept kitchens have made their mark on design trends in the past decade, many families find themselves in between decisions regarding open versus closed kitchens in their new custom home.

Although open concept kitchens have made their mark on design trends in the past decade, many families find themselves in between decisions regarding open versus closed kitchens in their new custom home. While an open concept kitchen design creates plenty of space for a family to gather in a single room, a closed kitchen can alternatively offer privacy between different spaces. If you are currently choosing the best floor plan for your family in your new custom home, consider the best of both kitchen designs as you decide.

Open Kitchens Provide More Space to Enjoy

Many homeowners prefer an open kitchen design because of the amount of space they will gain by creating a single space out of the living room and kitchen. In conjoining these rooms, growing families with kids or multiple generations of family in the household can enjoy the accessibility and visibility in the open space. An open kitchen that maximizes a living space also provides a central area for families to entertain, as their guests can then gather in the single, larger space of the two combined rooms.

Closed Kitchens Allow for Privacy and Reduced Noise

Sectioning off your spaces with a closed kitchen has its role in creating ideal spaces for cooking, dining, and entertaining in designated spaces. With this, a closed kitchen also provides you with added privacy and reduced noise that you may otherwise not have with an open concept living area. In this design, families who are less concerned with entertaining might enjoy the sectioned spaces including separate rooms for cooking, watching tv, and enjoying meals together.
