The trend towards open-plan living continues to dominate kitchen design in 2024. Homeowners are embracing layouts that seamlessly blend the kitchen, dining, and living spaces into one harmonious, multi-functional environment. At Anglia Interiors, we understand the growing need for kitchens that work harder and smarter, and our bespoke designs and premium partner products help create open-plan kitchens that are both beautiful and functional.

A popular feature of open-plan designs is the integration of kitchen islands. These islands not only provide extra worktop space but also serve as social hubs for dining or entertaining. Our custom islands can be fitted with Silestone worktops, available in a wide variety of colours and textures, offering a modern yet durable surface that stands up to the demands of family life. Silestone’s quartz surfaces are perfect for high-traffic areas like the kitchen, as they are resistant to stains, scratches, and impact.

For those looking to maintain a minimalist aesthetic in their open-plan kitchen, consider integrating Neff’s range of sleek, built-in appliances. The Slide&Hide oven, for example, with its disappearing door, allows for greater accessibility and space efficiency, ideal for compact or streamlined kitchen designs. Combine this with Blanco undermount sinks for a clean, uncluttered finish.

To further maximise space, our kitchen designs include clever storage solutions such as pull-out pantries, integrated bins, and under-counter storage drawers. These features make sure that even the smallest kitchens remain organised and clutter-free.

Lighting is another essential component of open-plan kitchens. Layered lighting—incorporating pendants, under-cabinet lighting, and recessed LEDs—ensures that the space is functional for cooking while creating a welcoming atmosphere for dining or entertaining.

Key Tips:

• Incorporate Silestone worktops for a durable, stylish surface.
• Use Neff’s built-in appliances, like the Slide&Hide oven, for a seamless design.
• Choose Blanco undermount sinks for a minimalist finish.
• Implement layered lighting to enhance both function and ambience in open-plan kitchens.
