While choosing the ideal kitchen design, some prefer to keep what's in a kitchen out of sight, but some opt for open kitchen. Let's talk about how to design a semi-open kitchen that blends the best of both traditional and open layouts. Not only is it stylish, it’s also energy-efficient!
Glass Design to Keep Out Cooking Fumes and Enhance Space
To achieve both a sense of space and practical beauty, consider replacing your kitchen door with a glass sliding door. This not only increases natural light but also visually expands the space. Sliding doors also tackle the issue of wandering cooking fumes. With less need to run the exhaust fan frequently, you enjoy both ventilation and energy savings, effectively dividing the dining and kitchen areas.
Installing Built-in Kitchen Appliances
When designing a semi-open kitchen, think about incorporating built-in appliances, including induction cooker and range hood. Besides saving space and being easier to clean, induction cookers are up to 90% energy-efficient in cooking performance, which significantly reduces cooking fumes, achieving both practicality and aesthetic appeal.
Next time we will discuss the installation of plug sockets and the use of power strips. Proper knowledge and use can lead to significant long-term savings and energy efficiency!
