Open plan kitchens typically combine the dining room and kitchen into one larger room. Sometimes they even have lounge settings with sofas and furniture too.

The idea is to create more open space for your family, friends, and guests who want to cook or eat together. The spaciousness and lack of barriers create the ideal social environment for people who like to talk and mingle as they feast on tasty food.

Not all open plan kitchen designs are the same. You still have to create an open plan kitchen with the shape, style, and appearance you want.

Below are the top three tips and ideas for your open plan kitchen.

1) Remove Bulky Cabinetry and Bookcases

The true essence of an open plan kitchen is to create as much openness as possible. The best way to do that is by removing all unnecessary obstructions from the kitchen, dining room, and living room.

Examples of unnecessary obstructions include bulky cabinetry, bookshelves, and large sofas. Instead, use smaller sofas and simple cabinetry.

2) Use the Same Colours

The entire open space should have the same colour scheme of no more than one or two colours. That means the colours of the walls, cabinetry, countertops, and chairs should be the same or have a similar tone.

3) Rustic, Contemporary or Minimalist?

Do you want a rustic, contemporary, or minimalist open plan kitchen design? Some people may want to combine multiple styles, while others will stick with just one.

Perhaps you could have rustic cabinetry in the kitchen section and minimalism in the dining area.
