In an open-plan space, very little is viewed on its own.
When planning a kitchen, it’s worth considering how it shapes the wider living space as well as how it supports the way you cook.
That becomes especially noticeable in an open-plan room, where the kitchen is seen from several different places. What feels balanced from the dining table can look quite different from the sofa.
That is where the individual choices start to matter together. The materials and textures you choose, the shape and finish of the island and how much cabinetry is in view, all contribute to the overall picture.
Sometimes it helps to step back and consider how all of those choices relate to one another and the kind of space they create together.
