Advantages of American kitchens

American kitchens are characterized by their open design, which connects the kitchen with the dining room and/or living room. This creates a spacious, multifunctional space, ideal for modern living where the kitchen is the heart of the home.

2. Greater social interaction

Removing barriers between the kitchen and the areas where we spend the most time allows for greater social interaction. It's perfect for families who want to stay connected or for those who enjoy entertaining while they cook.

3. Increased luminosity

Opening the kitchen to the living room or dining room allows natural light to flow freely, increasing brightness and creating a more pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

Keys to a successful kitchen renovation

1. Planning and design

Space evaluation

Before starting the renovation, it is crucial to evaluate the available space and consider how the kitchen can be integrated with adjacent areas. This includes the layout of windows, doors and walls which can be modified. At Reforma y Ahorra we take care of the entire evaluation considering all your needs.

Personalized design

A custom design is essential to ensure your new open plan kitchen fits perfectly with your needs and lifestyle.

2. Layout and use of space

Island kitchens

Kitchen islands are a popular option for American kitchens. The island not only provides additional space for cooking and storage, but can also serve as an area for breakfast and lunch or socializing.

Appliance integration

Integrating modern and efficient appliances is key to a functional and aesthetic kitchen. Opting for built-in appliances can help maintain a clean and tidy look.

3. Selection of materials and finishes

Combination of styles

A successful American kitchen combines modern elements with personal touches that reflect your style. Materials such as wood, stainless steel, natural stone or the entire range of porcelain panels are excellent options to create an elegant and cozy atmosphere.

Colors and lighting

Light, neutral colors, such as white and gray, can make the kitchen appear larger and brighter. Lighting also plays a crucial role; A mix of ambient, task and indirect lighting can significantly improve the ambiance.

Examples of kitchen renovations in Barcelona

Case 1: Transformation of a kitchen in Eixample

In the Eixample neighborhood, a traditional kitchen was transformed into a modern American kitchen. A wall was knocked down to open the kitchen to the living room, creating an open space. The new layout includes a central island with a natural stone countertop, integrated appliances and light wood cabinets that add warmth and modernity.

Case 2: Modernization of a kitchen in Gràcia

In the Gràcia neighborhood, a small, dark kitchen was converted into a bright American kitchen. An L-shaped layout was used to maximize space, with a breakfast bar visually separating the kitchen from the dining room. The white and stainless steel finishes, along with strategic lighting, completely transformed the space.
