When it comes to kitchens, they can be difficult rooms to design. We expect a lot from a kitchen and the modern home and the modern lifestyles that we have mean that we have to have a kitchen that is capable of supporting us and being able to fill a number of different roles.
The trend for open plan living over the last decade or so has meant that a kitchen needs to seamlessly blend into a room that is also used for a multitude of other things – from dining to relaxing, from socialising to working. This means that as well as being functional and practical, kitchens also have to be stylish and not intrude on the other space that is in the room. The styles and materials that you choose also matter – look at the types of styles that you like, whether it is sleek chrome fixtures, or stylish marble tiles like this www.irwintiles.ie/marble-stone-tiles Something that is important when you are creating a kitchen that fits into an open plan living space well, is getting the maximum use out of that space. Think about how you make the most of the space and the things that you need in it. As well as ensuring that all the available space is used, it is also something that looks neater and cleaner, especially in a room that has no choice but to be on show a lot. Having plenty of well thought out storage is also important – there is nothing worse than sitting in a room that has a lot of clutter around, and you want to be able to give everything a place in your home.
