Open Kitchen Concept vs. Closed Kitchen
Open-concept kitchens are seen in the majority of homes that have undergone a kitchen renovation in the past 15 years. It has become common for homeowners to open up their kitchen space to the rest of the home allowing for friends and family to interact and help with kitchen tasks. As well, most homeowners have become comfortable with opening up their kitchens to the rest of the house. There is no longer the need to keep a kitchen, whether messy or clean, hidden from the world.
While a closed kitchen may not be ideal for many people there are times when it is still useful. First, transforming a closed kitchen into an open concept space can be costly. For those homeowners working within a strict budget, this type of work may not be in the cards. As well, there are those who wish to keep their kitchens to themselves. They would rather keep their kitchen tasks and the subsequent mess hidden from guests.
