Lapis Residence

When buying a home and having to choose between an open and closed kitchen, there are many aspects to consider, including personal preference, available space, functionality and aesthetics. Depending on the number of people who will be living there and the main activities of the day, here are some pros and cons for each option:

Open kitchen:

Pro arguments:

1. Sociability: Open kitchens facilitate interaction between the chef and guests or family members. The person cooking is not separated from others, which can create a more social and communicative atmosphere.
2. Light and space: Opening up the kitchen to other areas of the home can allow more natural light to flood into the shared space, making it feel bigger and brighter.
3. Modern and contemporary design: Open kitchens are often associated with modern and contemporary style, giving a feeling of open space and fluidity in design.

Argument against:

1. Smells and noises: Open kitchens can allow cooking smells and noises to spread throughout the house, which can be disturbing for some.
2. Visible cleanliness: If the kitchen is open, any clutter or dirt is visible from other areas of the home, requiring a high level of cleanliness and organization to be maintained.
3. Limited privacy: Some people may prefer to separate the kitchen from the common areas of the home for more privacy and to avoid exposing kitchen activity during social gatherings or meals.

Closed kitchen:

Pro arguments:

1. Odour and noise control: An enclosed kitchen can keep cooking smells and noises inside, avoiding discomfort in other areas of the home.
2. Intimacy and separation: Enclosed kitchens offer greater privacy and separation from other areas of the home, which can be especially appreciated during social activities or when privacy is desired.
3. Aesthetics: For some, a closed kitchen can offer a more traditional and formal look that fits better with the overall style of the home.
4. Storage spaces: With more walls available, closed kitchens offer more cabinet space, creating generous storage space

Argument against:

1. Lack of light and space: Closed kitchens can seem smaller and darker without natural light and openness to other areas of the house.
2. Reduced sociability: Separating the kitchen from other areas of the home can reduce social interaction between cooking and the rest of the family or guests.
3. Space sensitivity: In some cases, an enclosed kitchen can feel claustrophobic or restrict flow in a small or poorly planned space.

Ultimately, the choice between an open and closed kitchen depends on personal preference, space usage needs and lifestyle. Some people may prefer the sociability and modern look of an open kitchen, while others may appreciate the privacy and greater control over the environment offered by a closed kitchen.
