Kitchens are the heart of the modern home – there’s nothing better than gathering friends and family together for a good meal and relaxation. So it’s no surprise that, when planning an extension, many property owners want to dedicate the space to an open-plan kitchen diner.
In the past, the trend was to create as many rooms as possible, each with their own distinct purpose. But we live in more informal times, where busy lifestyles require multifunctional spaces that cater for the needs of the whole family. You may be keen to chat to guests while preparing dinner, for example, or keep an eye on young children whilst managing other tasks.
