This type of environment is more spacious and cozy, but must be planned correctly.
American cuisine is a strong current trend. The integration of environments is a technique widely used in architectural projects to unite two or more environments without the need for walls to delimit the rooms. In this case, the kitchen and living and/or dining room are usually integrated.
Main advantages
Among the benefits of an open concept home are: environments wider, fluid and cozy, improves air circulation, favors natural lighting and is practical for routine activities. “The American-style kitchen ensures that you make the most of the space,” says interior designer Norah Carneiro.
Be careful with the colors
For Norah Carneiro, care must be taken with the choice of colors for this kind of environment, so as not to overwhelm you. In this case, a kitchen more clean and minimalist can be a good alternative.
Avoiding smells around the house
According to architect and urban planner Patrícia Lacerda, when opt for this style kitchen, it is always important to prioritize air circulation, with high windows and doors. In addition, you should position the stove or cooktop close to them.
According to the professional, one of the biggest concerns of those who adopt this style is in relation to the smell of food preparation that spreads throughout the house. “To prevent this from happening, it is necessary to have a good hood and, if possible, open the windows nearby when cooking, so that the smell does not spread”, she recommends.
