Hello,
Our kitchen layout is basically finalized. For the plot, we have planned a closed kitchen because we don’t want potential odors or the noise from the dishwasher or the range hood to disturb the living room. Therefore, two sliding doors are currently planned, which can be used from the dining area (pictures). Overall, we find the kitchen company’s idea interesting.
Now that we are at the shell construction stage, an open kitchen looks more stylish and spacious. It’s definitely something different compared to the 3D plan. What do you think about the solution with two sliding doors and the kitchen island in between?
Maybe just a half wall in front of the kitchen island would look nice? That way, the sliding doors would be omitted.
Thanks for your advice!

soneva201215 Feb 2022 19:57We also have a sliding door in the kitchen and have probably closed it only about three times in seven years. They are not really airtight and do little to reduce noise and odors. Good dishwashers nowadays are quiet. I would skip the sliding door and invest a bit more in the range hood. Since your living room is around the corner anyway, you don’t look directly into the kitchen.
I’m not a fan of open-plan kitchen-living-dining areas, but in your case it’s well designed, so I would leave everything open.

pagoni202015 Feb 2022 22:25Maybe you should upload the entire ground floor plan so that people can get a better idea of the adjacent spaces.
We once had two sliding kitchen doors, and they were always left open, so I would only consider having one if absolutely necessary. Maybe there is also the option to leave them out initially and only install them later if really needed.

Personally, I don’t like “corridor-style” layouts where the kitchen and dining/living area share one room. However, when the kitchen, as in this case (like in our home), is around the corner, the open kitchen is less intrusive and the advantages prevail.

Personally, I don’t like “corner solutions” because they are unnecessary and waste space, especially here. A picture is worth a thousand words. Apart from that, I find the sliding door solution expensive, but somehow cool. Something different!

In this case, you are actually right, since the corner is too large. Otherwise, in my opinion, a corner solution is always an optimal "compromise" between closed and completely open (linear) layouts.
