Why Open Concept Kitchens Are The New Dining Trend

The open-concept kitchen has become the new standard in dining. The ability to entertain guests and cook in a single space appeals to modern families, who are looking for convenience while they whip up delicious home-cooked meals. At New Start Kitchens, we’ve seen firsthand how this trend has taken the interior design industry by storm, and believe it’s here to stay. 

Open-concept kitchens make entertaining easier than ever before. Not only do they combine all of your cooking needs into one space, but having an “open-air kitchen” allows your dining area to flow more naturally with the rest of your living area. This also offers hosts the opportunity for a “behind the scenes” peek at their cooking in action, increasing engagement and making a lasting impression on your guests. 

Having an open-concept kitchen also makes preparing dishes faster and more efficient. Cooking multiple meals at once becomes much simpler with the open floor plan; instead of running back and forth from separate rooms, you can simply move from countertop to countertop without missing a beat. In addition, this setup allows for ample storage within arms reach and helps keep counters clutter free – both critical components for creating a truly functional kitchen experience. 

Style is also an important factor when choosing an open-concept kitchen. Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary designs, these kitchens can be customized to fit any style preference while still being able to allow easy conversation with family and friends as you prepare gourmet meals. Granite countertops are particularly popular in these types of kitchens because they provide durability while still providing stunning aesthetics that bring charisma and character into your home. With helpful features such as height adjustable shelves and other compact installations like wine refrigerators, there's no limit to what kind of look you can create with your open-concept kitchen!
