What are the pros & cons of an open kitchen design?

Modular furniture is an industry that keeps witnessing innovations.And an open kitchen design is a result of that.

With time, people’s choices and preferences keep on changing.And thus, these days, the number of people opting for an open kitchen is increasing day-by-day.
What is an open kitchen ?
An open kitchen, as the name suggests, is generally designed in an open space without a confinement of walls and barriers, within a large living room or a dining room. Or it may also be designed combining the two.

Pros of having an open kitchen design:

1. Interaction with your family members:

One of the biggest benefits of an open kitchen design is, you don’t have to get out of your kitchen and go to another room to interact with family members. The living room is openly accessible and you can easily interact with anyone.

2. Availability of a larger space:

Since the open kitchen design occupies a living room, you get more area to operate around the kitchen. Plus, you also get more area to add additional storage units and design the kitchen the way you would wish to. Offering you the opportunity to add more functionalities in your kitchen.

3. More lighting:

The natural light or the additional lighting from the living room makes the space appear brighter and beautiful. If the interiors are done right, this can make the open kitchen design look glamorous. Saviesa has designed luxurious open kitchens in Mumbai & Pune.

4. Easy to clean:

The open space enables you to clean your open kitchen from all the angles, without having to worry about the corners and walls.

5. Counter seating:

Love tasting stuff while it’s getting ready or chatting with your mother/ daughter/ sister or wife? Well, this kitchen allows you to add a counter seating space for the family members to sit and have a chat or taste stuff.

Cons of having an open kitchen:

1. Tidiness:
Since the open kitchen is clearly visible, it needs to be kept clean and tidy at all times. This becomes an additional responsibility of ensuring it is neat and tidy every single day.

2. Odor control:
The odor from the cooking may spread all across the living room and it becomes difficult to control it in an open kitchen design environment.

3. Temperature concern:
The lack of walls may make it difficult to control the temperatures in the open kitchen design.

4. Privacy problems:
You may not get the required privacy in an open kitchen design and it could potentially be dangerous when there are children playing around.

Thus, it is necessary to be mindful about the space, design, the family lifestyle and other important factors, before opting for an open kitchen design.
