Kitchen design mistake: Having an open-plan
In recent years, probably due to the pandemic, nearly a third of house hunters have expressed that they would be willing to pay over the asking price for a home where kitchens are separate from living and dining rooms.
But, it’s a question of how many other living areas your home already has. It’s always been a mistake to sacrifice your only living room to create one big, ample open-plan space.
However, if you have other rooms for family members to relax in, whether a living room, a TV room, a home office, or even a well-furnished garden room, you can go the “open-plan” way without hurting your home’s value.
Our advice is that there’s an excellent middle-ground: the broken-plan layout. This is where the kitchen is separated from dining or living spaces with interior glazing.
