How to make open-plan living work for you

Create an open-plan area for family life that?s functional and good-looking

Create an open-plan kitchen zone

In an open-plan space, positioning all the units along one wall keeps the kitchen open to the rest of the room. Here are our top tips for creating a successful open-plan kitchen zone:


  • Choose units that blend in with the rest of your scheme and consider integrated appliances for a uniform look. Be sure to pick quiet appliances so they don't disturb when using the living areas.


  • Think about using an island unit to mark out the kitchen zone - and to use as a breakfast bar.


  • Make the kitchen area part of your decorating scheme by repeating colours used elsewhere.
