Kitchens have long been the center piece to any household, especially after spending a large part of the last two years bundled up at home. With this expanded appreciation for our home’s culinary centers, it is important to have them not only look special but feel the part as well. Here we will consider the importance of adding your own personal splash while also considering the latest kitchen design trends for your Los Angeles home for 2022. How you layout your kitchen can help create an intimate and meaningful scheme that is destined to transform any kitchen into the everyday centerpieces they are meant to be.

Countertops and Island

In the last year Los Angeles homeowners have continued to be highly focused on improving their countertop and island spaces. With people spending more time in their kitchen, extending their islands has become a major priority. Doing so will allow for more breathing space in their kitchens aside from cooking and preparation zones. Freeing up space outside of the kitchen triangle permits for a more comfortable and inclusive space when hosting guests or preparing a home cooked meal with family and friends.

Island Storage

A larger island will provide more storage for clutter that would otherwise be hindering kitchen fluidity. This idea of extending the use of a kitchen beyond just cooking can also be achieved by adding a second island. This increasingly popular second island will continue to lengthen the kitchen space while also providing more entertainment and work area away from the often-hectic kitchen triangle.

Continuing with Open Layouts

Creating an open layout for your Los Angeles kitchen can also help incorporate your work/cooking area with the rest of your living space. Open concept kitchens match with the ongoing theme of combining comfort, utility, and Feng Shui. Seamless access is a necessity when hosting events and this open layout caters exactly to those needs. An open layout exudes a feeling of informality and friendliness while a closed kitchen is often isolated and rigid. Homes with open kitchens will benefit from the design as it will create a more spacious area for you to cook, while interacting with guests, and family simultaneously.

In a world where the mode is ever-changing at a rapid pace it is vital to incorporate themes that are timeless. Having a comfortable and accessible space is never going out of style so you can be sure that by creating an open layout, this will cater to your latest everyday needs by providing more multi-use space in the kitchen. Comfort is another motif that is ageless. Having a space that effortlessly incorporates entertaining and cooking space is a sure shot in any home.
