4 benefits of having an open plan kitchen/dining
It seems opinion is divided over whether or not an open plan is the best type of layout, yet in Malta, trends show that more and more homeowners and developers are opting for open plan living, particularly when it comes to kitchen-dining areas. As top providers of furniture in Malta, our passionate team at Carmelo Delia discusses the advantages of having this layout.
1. The social aspect
Being the place where a lot of social interaction takes place, having an open plan allows the household to come together in a single room, thus preventing feelings of isolation for the person preparing the meal. The social aspect of having the kitchen and seated guests in one area is one we at Carmelo Delia love. Although this layout enables you to interact with guests, it also requires you to be clean and well-organised - unless you’re comfortable with everyone seeing a mountain of dirty dishes!
Our Creo and Cucine Lube kitchens come in a wide range of materials and styles, 100% made in Italy, where nothing is more important than family and socialising over a great meal.
2. The access aspect
Open plan layouts offer direct access from the kitchen to spaces such as the dining table, making it much easier to serve dinners to your family and guests - which means the food remains hot and accidents are kept to a minimum!
3. The space aspect
The less walls in a space, the bigger and airier the room feels. This is especially important nowadays since rooms are being built smaller and smaller, so the most logical answer is to open up them up. Open plans also lend the space a better flow if designed well.
4. The light aspect
Lighting has the potential to make or break an interior scheme, and an open plan benefits from better luminosity as natural light can flow through the space.
