What are the advantages and disadvantages of open kitchen? Will the lampblack affect too much?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of open kitchen?

First, let's talk about shortcomings.

1, talk about the oil fume problem that is scared to death.

The problem of cooking fume in the open kitchen is indeed an unavoidable problem, especially for Chinese catering families who mainly fry and cook, it may be difficult to accept the open kitchen.

2. cleanliness.

The traditional Chinese kitchen, no matter how messy the internal space is, fortunately, there are doors to cover it, which can properly cover up some embarrassment.

3. Child safety.

Many families with children at home may worry that the open kitchen will bring certain safety problems to their children. For example, children will always be with their mothers when cooking, which will indeed pose a threat to the safety of children to some extent.

Secondly, let's talk about advantages.

1, transformation of home life center.

When designing home decoration, if it is a Chinese kitchen, it is usually designed with the living room as the center, but if it is an open kitchen, it is mostly designed with the kitchen as the center. In this respect, the difference is actually great.

In the traditional kitchen environment in China, our home life center is generally in the living room, but if it is an open kitchen, it means that the home life center will be transformed into a kitchen, dining room and living room.

2. Family members are more interactive.

In the traditional Chinese kitchen, cooking is generally a matter for one person, but the open kitchen can make the family more interactive. Even if a person cooks, the cook can chat with his family while cooking, so that the original boring kitchen work is no longer boring. More often, the family cooks together, cooks together and chats together, which obviously enhances the interaction and makes the kitchen work interesting.

3. Wider space and better vision.

Integrated design of kitchen, dining room and living room. Without a few walls, the space can be wider, the vision is better, the permeability is stronger, and the space utilization efficiency is improved.

4. Improve the comfort of the kitchen.

While cooking in the kitchen, you can enjoy the air conditioning in the living room and watch TV. Is it more comfortable than the traditional enclosed kitchen?

Third, personal views.

Engaged in the home improvement industry for more than ten years, individuals are increasingly advocating open kitchens.

Personally, what are the three disadvantages compared with the four advantages I mentioned above? In addition, these three advantages have their own solutions. For example, the problem of lampblack can be solved by choosing a range hood with large air volume, at least it can be alleviated to a great extent; The neatness of the kitchen can be solved by the integrated design during decoration and the cultivation of living habits after decoration; As for the safety of children, whether it is Chinese kitchen or open kitchen, we can't ignore these problems. To put it bluntly, it has little to do with whether the kitchen is Chinese or western.

Another trend is to separate Chinese kitchens from western kitchens. Many owners I have served have reduced the original Chinese kitchen to only two or three square meters, leaving all the remaining areas for western-style kitchens and restaurants. As for villa units, Chinese kitchens and western kitchens are designed separately.
