If you are thinking about knocking down some walls to achieve that, consider these three creative types of open kitchens that suit smaller abodes perfectly.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"full-hack\"><strong>Full Hack<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most daring approach is the fully open kitchen concept. This entails knocking down all the walls that divide the kitchen from the adjacent spaces, be it the dining or living room.<\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0If you often host dinner parties or fancy brunches, consider opening up the kitchen space to create a more social space. Having an island outside of the kitchen allows guests to hang around and chat, and leaving the cooking area in plain sight allows them to socialise with you as you prepare the meal as well!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5492\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Screen-Shot-2016-04-15-at-11.53.52-e1460692702700.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-04-15 at 11.53.52\" width=\"950\" height=\"555\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5491\" src=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/insider\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Screen-Shot-2016-04-15-at-11.53.59-e1460692712851.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2016-04-15 at 11.53.59\" width=\"950\" height=\"635\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Interior Designer: The Association<br \/>\nLocation:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/qanvast.com\/project\/56677f644900e9df5eba3d3d\/the-association\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cantonment (HDB)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>2.\u00a0By hacking the walls that once confined the kitchen, this home now has a whole lot more floor space to play around with.
