Your kitchen is more than just a space for cooking, it’s a hub for social activity.
Whether you’re cooking or catching up on the day’s events, the kitchen has become a space that nurtures social interaction.
So, how can you make your kitchen even more welcoming, ensuring it continues to serve as a vibrant social space? Here are some ideas to think about.
Open up the layout
An open-plan design encourages easy interaction with those in the dining or living room. It fosters a sense of inclusiveness, making the kitchen a more inviting space for everyone.
But if you have a small space to work with, you may be worried about the feasibility of an open-plan kitchen.
As part of our design process, our experts will listen to your requirements and put together a CAD drawing of your dream kitchen so you can get a real feel for what it would look like.
Add a splash of colour
Colour can have a big impact on how inviting a room feels.
Soft, neutral tones can make a small kitchen appear larger, while bold colours add vibrancy and excitement.
Consider adding a bright colour to inside a breakfast cabinets, a mirrored backsplash, or even eye-catching kitchen appliances as focal points.
With our exclusive selection of colours, we can help you decide on the perfect hue to compliment your space.
Comfortable seating
Making sure the space is comfortable is vital when it comes to creating a social space.
Whilst a dining room table is a good idea if you host dinner parties often, it’s not the only option.
Ask yourself:
- Would you make the most of a dining room table when you aren’t hosting?
- Would a bespoke kitchen island, with integrated seating or bar stools work better?
- Or would a cosy corner with comfortable armchairs be more fitting for your space?
Your answers will depend on how much space you have to work with, along with whether you host large dinner parties, or just want an inviting space to catch up with some friends and family.
It’s important to keep in mind that the kitchen is not just for cooking; it’s where memories are made!
