4 Open Kitchen Design Ideas for a Spacious Home

If you are considering kitchen remodeling in Dallas, an open kitchen design might be the perfect solution for you. Open kitchen designs provide more flexibility in kitchen arrangement, and open-plan kitchens and home value have a tight correlation. 

An open kitchen design is a great idea for many reasons. So today, the team at NG Platinum Homes is here to discuss four open kitchen ideas that can make your home more spacious.

Open Kitchen Designs for a Spacious House

An open kitchen design has no barriers, flowing naturally from one area of the home to the next. By ditching the single-room design, you can give yourself more space and really enhance the value and useability of your home.

1. Create Zones

One of the easiest ways to differentiate your kitchen area while keeping it open is to use certain features to highlight different locations. Repeated use of elements creates smaller “zones” that separate the open kitchen from the living area and dining area. For example, you can designate kitchen areas through different colors or fixtures, such as rugs or lighting changes. You could also distinguish different areas through the countertop and cabinet materials. 

2. Expand Outdoors

Most open kitchens are contained entirely indoors—perhaps with a few windows over the cookware. A unique twist on an open kitchen design is to take advantage of your outdoor living space and expand outside. Opening your kitchen to the outside world takes full advantage of square footage and integrates well with other features, such as inside/outside bar seating. 

3. Open Shelving

Cabinets are an important storage feature, but an open kitchen works better with more streamlined elements and less clutter on the walls. You can eliminate cabinets and maintain storage space through an open shelving design. Open shelving can create a modern, minimalistic look that has excellent decorative potential. 

4. Focus on the Island

Kitchen islands are a great idea as they allow for more counter space. You can make the island the focus of your open kitchen design by expanding its size and adding cabinets to increase functionality. A large kitchen island can not only act as a dining table but can also house kitchen appliances, such as a range stovetop or dishwasher. You can also add more cabinets to your island to increase storage and free up space on your walls.

We are so pleased with our new kitchen, the best part of this whole renovation was the knowledge and expertise Nadine had with the design. I didn't have much of an idea what I... wanted in many areas and with talking together she really understood very quickly my style and put together a beautiful design for me. She is so talented when it comes to putting together colors, tile styles and accents. I am so extremely happy with how it turned out and will definitely call her for my bathroom project next.read more

NG Platinum Homes completed a total universal design/ handicapable bathroom for us in August 2022. The process took six weeks during which the typical builder’s master bathroom... was demolished to the studs and the foundation was rebuilt with a new shower pan with the proper grading for a curbless shower. Two doorways were modified to enlarge the openings. The former shower stall became a built in closet with adjustable shelves; lighting was updated with LED fixtures; faucets were installed with pull out sprayers; an exhaust fan with a light, nightlight and heater was also installed, as well as a new shower system. Every surface was updated and every wall repainted. Throughout the whole process NG Platinum Homes was supervising and dropping in to check on the details and progress. There was daily communication. The workers were all courteous and respectful of our home environment. We became familiar with them and felt comfortable with their presence. We now have a bathroom that will allow anyone to safely shower regardless of any physical limitations caused by injuries, surgeries, medical conditions, or advanced age. We highly recommend NG Platinum Homes.read more
After waiting 10 years to finally renovate our master bathroom we selected NG Platinum. We talked with 4 other companies and made the selection. This is an awesome company to... work with and they are willing to work with you, listen to your needs and give you design ideas. We had really strong ideas and did a lot of homework, so NAdine and Emery took our selections and worked in other details. The job site was clean and the work was meticulous. We had some interruptions with vacations and holidays, but couldn’t be happier. Let Robert create custom cabinets and finishes for you, like he did for us…great craftsmanship! I recommend them strongly and will hire them to renovate our kitchen.read more
