Creating an open space kitchen needs a bit of planning, and our design team will work closely to make sure your open plan kitchen dining room works for you and your family. Many of the best open plan kitchens work well because they make good use of zoning and there are a few ways to create different zones for your kitchen. One of the simplest is to use a bespoke kitchen island or breakfast bar to create a natural barrier between areas for food preparation and practicality, and areas for fun and socialising. Flooring can also be used to create your zones, and provide subtle cues about how an area’s used, so you might choose a hard surface like tiling for the work zone, moving to softer materials like wood or even carpet for spaces that are designated relaxing zones.
The details make a difference too, and we’ll advise you how to make the most of lighting to create your zones – perhaps using task-focused spots in the kitchen, complemented by the subtlety of a low pendant over your dining table. We’ll also help you use colour to define and unify; our units complement a range of looks, from the classic soft sages and dove greys of a country kitchen to industrial-style steels or deep rich reds so you can mix and match, perhaps using one colour as an accent shade to create a subtle sense of unity.
An open plan kitchen diner is most successful with a bit of careful planning. Choosing the right combination of units and cabinets will mean you get a space that’s got the perfect amount of storage and seating, without sacrificing any space, something that’s especially important in a small open plan kitchen. If you’re lucky enough to have a large kitchen it’s important to think about how you’ll use the space and thinking about things like making sure the dining zone is near the food preparation area will minimise how far you have to carry hot food, or cleared plates. We’ll help you make your kitchen safe too, by making sure you’ve clear sightlines so you can keep an eye on any younger members of the family even in a long kitchen.
Open plan living isn’t always the best option, even in big kitchens and during our design visit we’ll talk about other kitchen solutions that might work better. It may be that a cosy galley kitchen layout, with units along one wall, is a more practical workspace, or you might find you prefer a classic cottage style kitchen to fit with the aesthetic of the rest of your home. The beauty of choosing Murdoch Troon is that your kitchen is custom-designed with furniture such as cabinetry, so whatever shape or layout you need, you can be sure you’ll have the best kitchen to work for you, your home and your lifestyle. This type of kitchen typically costs between £7,425 and £14,000.
