Designing Your Kitchen Dining Room

By Mavic Herring


Undeniably, it takes a serious amount of labour to prepare food for the family. For that reason, it just makes sense to enjoy a sumptuous meal while spending a worthwhile time with the ones you love and care about. More and more homes nowadays have the dining area within their kitchen. The practical space utilisation doesn't only enable the family to make the most out of their house's floor area. Most importantly, the integration of the kitchen and dining room into one space contributes in creating stronger bonds while keeping the mood light and everyone full.

The concept of integrating two rooms into one may be intimidating yet it's nevertheless achievable. What we have here a few of the kitchen dining room ideas we've learned from the experts. It is our hope that you too will be able to take home practical tips you can actually use.

As a start, allow us to ask you a question, have you already considered how you can possibly benefit from an open plan? If not, let us stress two of the advantages which come with it. First, you can possibly get rid of obstructions which limit your movement and attracts danger in an area where lots of things are performed at one time. An open plan also makes cleaning up much easier by giving more room to move about.

What's a kitchen dining room without the dining chairs? But integrated areas involve a smart approach in terms of choosing such furniture pieces. An example of this is the decision to opt for setting up banquette seating at least on one of the four sides of the dining table. This does not only increase the number of diners which can be accommodated at one time but similarly doubles as an additional storage space at the same time. One more example is the use of clear polycarbonate or transparent acrylic that effectively works to not make the space look visibly crowded.

The kitchen and dining are two of the rooms in a house where it's unavoidable to not store a lot of stuff for everyday use. One needs as much storage space as he or she can possibly have. This is where the benefits of installing overhead storage spaces are underscored more than ever. Such storage spaces may be placed on top of a counter, bench, bar or even the dining table.

Last but not least, integrating spaces does not mean that they can't keep their own identity. Your kitchen can still keep its own interesting character distinct from that of your dining area. One of the many ways to achieve this is by cleverly using different colour schemes for each.
