When a wall comes down, the kitchen stops being a room and becomes part of the furniture of the house. That changes the brief entirely: the cabinets are now visible from the sofa, at rest, all evening - not only while you are cooking.
| Mess has nowhere to go | In a closed kitchen, the worktop can be a disaster until you get to it. In an open one it is part of the living room. This is an argument for more closed storage and fewer open shelves, not fewer - the opposite of what most open-plan photographs suggest. |
|---|---|
| The run reads as a wall | Seen from across the room, a cabinet run is one large object rather than a set of doors. Long unbroken runs and a consistent line matter far more here than in a galley you only see from inside. |
| Handles become furniture | Hardware you would never notice at arm's length becomes a repeating pattern across a wall from twelve feet away. Fewer, larger pulls generally read better than many small ones. |
| The island is the join | It is the piece both rooms share and the one most people sit at. Its back and sides are furniture, which is why they need finished panels rather than the unfinished side of a cabinet built for a run. |
The panel that gets forgotten. Any cabinet side or island back that is visible needs a finished end panel. A cabinet built to sit inside a run has an unfinished side, and in a closed kitchen nobody ever sees it. In an open plan it faces the living room. See panels and moldings - and note they are non-refundable, so they need counting rather than estimating.
A finish chosen at arm's length in a showroom is a different colour across a room. Strong colours that read as a feature on one door read as a wall when there are fourteen of them. This is where a two-tone treatment earns its place: a quieter perimeter with a darker island gives the open space a centre without turning the whole run into a statement. See cabinet colours.
Opening up a kitchen usually removes a wall, and a wall is where the cabinets were. Tall units become more valuable, because they hold what the lost run held in a smaller footprint - see pantry cabinets. Deep drawers rather than shelved bases also matter more here, since the storage you have has to actually be reachable.

That the cabinets are now visible from the living space all evening, not only while you cook. That argues for more closed storage rather than open shelving, consistent unbroken runs, and finished panels on every side that shows.
Usually less than photographs suggest. Everything on it is on permanent display from the sofa, so it has to stay tidy in a room where the mess previously had somewhere to go.
Yes, on any cabinet side or island back that is visible. A cabinet built to sit inside a run has an unfinished side - invisible in a closed kitchen, facing the living room in an open plan. Panels are non-refundable, so count them rather than estimating.
A finish chosen at arm's length is a different colour across a room, and a strong colour that reads as a feature on one door reads as a wall across fourteen. A quieter perimeter with a darker island is often the better answer.
Into tall units and deep drawers. Opening up a kitchen usually removes the wall the cabinets were on, so what remains has to hold more in a smaller footprint - and it has to be reachable, which is the argument for drawers over shelved bases.
Yes. Handles you would never notice at arm's length become a repeating pattern across a wall from twelve feet away, so fewer and larger generally reads better than many small ones.
