Creating a kitchen design with an open concept can be a challenge and a separate choice in order to bring up a more varied and dynamic display of space.

Moreover, an open kitchen can be one of the media to eliminate boredom when making dishes in a closed kitchen because it has a very limited focus.

The concept of an open kitchen design emerged with the aim other than to relieve stress, but also to reduce the heat that arises, especially in areas or regions with tropical climates.

So for a house in Indonesia, this design is very suitable to be applied.

Open Concept Kitchen Ideas

The advantage of this open concept kitchen is that cooking and dining can be combined in one place and not separated by a wall or partition. So that a more intimate atmosphere can be established.

Especially if the person who makes the dish is a friend, relative, or family member who has a very close emotional relationship. Of course, this will also add a sense of brotherhood that is increasingly attached.

Because when you’re cooking, you can communicate with each other or chat directly. If you use a closed kitchen, this is clearly not possible. In addition to limited space, between the dining room and kitchen separated by a wall.

The thing that must be taken into account when making an open kitchen especially when the kitchen is directly related to the outside is the smell of cooking that is being made can spread to a wider place.

If the aroma of the dish is carried by the wind and can be smelled from a distance, it will certainly cause its own problems, especially in terms of ethics and politeness.

So if you want to make an open kitchen choose a place not too close to another room. The distance from the neighbor’s house must also be considered carefully, especially if we often make dishes that can create very strong aromas such as satay, fried chicken, and others.

Especially if the aroma enters another room and carries smoke particles that can stick to clothes, carpets, and so on. Of course, these items can also cause cooking odors.

Lighting techniques for open kitchens should also not be forgotten. Although you can get direct sunlight, a kitchen with this design still requires a fairly bright lighting concept. Moreover, if residents often do cooking activities at night.

In order not to disturb the view when choosing ingredients used for cooking, choose a light with white color, especially on the stove, cooking, and storing ingredients.

As for the area used to place tables and chairs, dining can use other colors such as yellow. To create a romantic impression, on the walls can be given a patch of light yellow or red.

An open kitchen is more often used to create a less formal atmosphere. So the selection of furniture that is used also may not use official memorable models.

For dining tables and chairs, choose a simple design. Avoid the use of curves or engravings that will reduce the impression of relaxed and intimate.

Hygiene issues also need to get more serious attention because if there is garbage or dirt produced from the cooking process or when enjoying food it can be more easily seen.

If it is not cleaned immediately it will certainly give the impression of dirty and untidy. It’s a good idea to place a broom and trash can around the open kitchen so that the cleaning process is easier and faster.

It’s just that the placement of brooms and trash cans is also not allowed to use locations that can be seen directly in the eye. If this happens, the appearance of a neat kitchen will reduce the value of beauty and beauty.
