"My immediate plan when moving into my home was to knock down the wall separating the kitchen from the living room. I was bummed to learn that structurally it couldn't be done. Five years later, though, I'm grateful I never took that leap. Closed kitchens are having a comeback moment, as more people crave separation between cooking, entertaining, and even working from home."
"What I've come to love most about mine? The inevitable kitchen mess isn't visible from the rest of my home, and frankly, appliances are rarely design statements worth showing off. Instead, the kitchen has become a cozy, tucked-away spot where I can cook without an audience. Here are closed kitchen design ideas to try! Idea 1: Glass Door Partitions Inspired by classic UK homes, deVOL Kitchens are truly lovely. Instead of fully opening your floor plan, add steel-frame glass doors to keep sound and smells out and natural light coming in."
Closed kitchens are experiencing a comeback as people seek separation between cooking, entertaining, and working from home. Closed layouts hide kitchen messes and minimize the visibility of appliances, creating a cozy, private cooking environment. Design options include steel-frame glass doors to block sound and smells while admitting light, concealed or “secret” doors blended into paneling, and traditional elements like checkerboard floors and beadboard. Deeper, cocooning color palettes such as forest green, navy, or rust paired with warm woods work well. Maximizing natural light and considering an open fourth wall can keep closed kitchens feeling airy.
