Open-concept homes are highly desired since they allow you to gather with loved ones without running out of space or feeling crowded. But a challenge many of us face is how to create a cohesive design between two different spaces with different functions. While you want to make sure there is a separation for different uses, you still want to achieve flow and connection across your kitchen dining room combo.
One common design we see is to choose an accent color that you carry through both your kitchen and dining room. For a modern look black is a popular choice, as are wood accents. You can also select light fixtures or wall art that draws your attention through the room and complement the rest of your décor.
No matter what your design aesthetic may be, we promise that you’ll find a look you love in our gallery here!
