Often guests either bring cooked dishes or help the cook with her menu. Small rooms or walled off areas tend to make space feel narrow and confined.\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.traditionalhome.com\/kitchens\/smart-kitchen-dressed-stylish-neutrals?page=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #615361;\">Traditional Home<\/span><\/a>\u00a0shows <\/span>a very unique<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> way to create openness to the kitchen area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a home with very tall ceilings but the concept could be duplicated in homes with standard eight or nine-foot ceilings. The windowed wall has glass doors, glass panels, <\/span>and<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> operable glass panel windows. Although a separate space is created for the kitchen, openness is enhanced by the use of glass and the open window panes. Guests can also be located in the next room and still feel a part of the kitchen preparations. Openness, inclusiveness, and warmth are the goal for a newly renovated kitchen space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Granite stone colors are two different neutral tones\u2026gray and beige.\u00a0 Each area which is a separate room has a separate color scheme with the kitchen being in the gray tones and the neutral beige being in the seating\/bar space. Cabinetry also is in two colors corresponding <\/span>with<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> the stone color. This creates a calm color shift and adds interest in the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This photograph creates true openness for you and your guests. Go ahead and open the walls in your home creating a warm and inviting space. I bet you will entertain with joy and more often. Go ahead, be creative and create inviting spaces in your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/traditional-homes1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-142 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/traditional-homes1-300x242.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"355\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/traditional-homes1-300x242.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/traditional-homes1-768x620.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/traditional-homes1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div class='sfsi_Sicons' style='width: 100%; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; text-align:left'><div style='margin:0px 8px 0px 0px; line-height: 24px'><span>Please follow and like us:<\/span><\/div><div class='sfsi_socialwpr'><div class='sf_subscrbe' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;width:64px'><a href=\"http:\/\/www.specificfeeds.com\/widgets\/emailSubscribeEncFeed\/WUxYS1lmcHRyMDJ1Ty82ekJnVWVzREIvcE1HSU1kYTVUM2FpbUtQdXZIcno5bEs3bzBkdEJvWm13VUFsQnJJUUhhcDVwMHNwb2ZQQk1YVHhXVkw0dE9DVXloUCs3TmJYSkhHTjUxdzQ0MVh2b0lQczQwd3o5K3FKMGo5VC9NL0x8eFpZTk5sMGsyWk15RE1wci9hejFRZFN0MmVJMkxYaU5JNDJWN2l0bEJiTT0=\/OA==\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/ultimate-social-media-icons\/images\/follow_subscribe.png\" \/><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_fb' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;width:98px'><div class=\"fb-like\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/open-kitchens\/\" width=\"180\" send=\"false\" showfaces=\"false\"  action=\"like\" data-share=\"true\"data-layout=\"button\" ><\/div><\/div><div class='sf_twiter' style='text-align:left;float:left;vertical-align: middle;width:auto'><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" data-count=\"none\" class=\"sr-twitter-button twitter-share-button\" lang=\"en\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/open-kitchens\/\" data-text=\"Open Up Your Kitchen!\" ><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_pinit' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;line-height: 20px;width:47px'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=&media=&description=\" data-pin-do=\"buttonPin\" data-pin-save=\"true\"data-pin-count=\"none\"><\/a><\/div><div class='sf_google' style='text-align:left;vertical-align: middle;float:left;max-width:62px;min-width:35px;'><div class=\"g-plusone\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.pillowgalleria.com\/blog\/open-kitchens\/\" data-size=\"large\" data-annotation=\"none\" ><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most home remodels today want the finished project to feel and look open.
