Lately there is a lot of talk in the editorials dedicated to the interior design of open kitchens, referring as such to those kitchens that open up to the living room. At Decoluxe, however, we are not going to talk about this type of kitchen, but about those that open to the outside.
All the kitchens open to the garden they are an accessible luxury. All we have to do to open the space is to remove one of the partitions and replace it with glass doors that allow us to open the space from side to side. With the doors open, the feeling will be that of cooking in the garden.
Opening the kitchen to the garden will completely transform the aesthetics of the kitchen. But beyond the aesthetic advantages, we must talk about the practical advantages. Opening the kitchen to the garden has many advantages that have to do roughly with the provision of natural light, ventilation or comfort.
We review the most important advantages:
-
La abundant natural light that will enter the kitchen will bring with it an important saving in the electricity bill.
-
With the doors open from side to side we will get a better ventilation; thus preventing both vapors and odors from accumulating in our kitchen.
-
The space will flow naturally from the inside to the outside. No one will feel isolated while cooking or have to navigate obstacles when entering or leaving to serve the table.
Knowing the advantages, the next question we must ask ourselves is: how do we achieve that feeling of openness that we seek? The truth is that there are different mechanisms for this; from classic French doors, to modern sliding systems, hinged and / or folding.
Depending on the space available in the kitchen, one system or another may be more interesting. It is also convenient, since to take advantage of all the advantages of opening the kitchen to the outside, to bet on a system with hidden rails and not superficial, so that they do not pose an obstacle.
