If you don't really enjoy cooking and the kitchen is a place where you only go for a sandwich and a morning tea, then you can adapt its design to your lifestyle. We have compiled in this article some ideas and useful tips to guide you towards a suitable arrangement.
Think practically First of all, your kitchen must maintain its functional character. Therefore, forget about the complicated cooking appliance or stove (an induction hob is an option to consider), ovens with various cooking options, a large collection of dishes, or those pans and frying pans that you may not even use throughout the year.
Focus on a simple and practical design adapted to your real needs.
A suitable kitchen for you could be an open-plan one, so you can easily integrate it into the living space, the room where you spend your time when you are at home. Move easily from one area to another without actually leaving the room; prepare your flowers and put the juice in the glass without interrupting the movie you were watching.
Simple furniture, in straight lines, with cabinets that offer you the storage space you need, built-in appliances, and a table for 4 or 6 people foldable, retractable, or freestanding as a link between the kitchen and the living area. This is also valid for a kitchen designed as a room in itself.
Here you can completely give up the table and install a bar-type countertop with corresponding stools; this way you use the space efficiently.
