The role of the kitchen in contemporary homes

Today, we are accepting the kitchen, dining room, and the living room sharing one space in what is named an open concept layout.

Today kitchen is not seen just a place where you cook food.

First, the kitchen is understood as a social act where the cook and dinners interact in the food preparing.

Second, it is the technical motivation. We have now powerful hood ranges that are capable of completely absorbing the unwanted fumes, smells, and steam.
