14 Enclosed Kitchen Ideas to Make You Forget Open Concept
- Apr 29, 2021
For those who cook often, an open concept kitchen might seem like a really bad idea. The grease and smells—made worse if you like frying fish or making your own sambal—permeating the rest of your home doesn’t seem like a good trade-off for the popular open kitchen. So for practicality’s sake, you decide to go with an enclosed one. But if you think an enclosed kitchen is only second best, you might want to think again.
These beautiful enclosed kitchens below show that closed concept isn’t always an inferior choice, and in most instances, it offers the functionality needed in a hardworking kitchen PLUS the added bonus of being easy on the eye.
1. Grey number
Modern dark grey cabinets juxtaposed against the rustic faux brick backsplash, the latter offering a certain country charm to warm up this cooking space. The highlight of this enclosed kitchen? The cabinet-matching sliding doors that conceal the service yard behind.
2. Mid-century mood
3. Strong as steel
Nothing says functionality like stainless steel in a kitchen. The main prep and cooking zones here feature this hardy material, while the rest of the spaces are enveloped in white laminates for visual dimension and to prevent the space from feeling too cold.
4. Minimalist like Muji
5. Arched beauty
6. Packing in personality
7. Organised mode
Marie Kondo will be proud of this enclosed kitchen. Open shelves take the place of upper cabinets, with clear jars of pantry essentials arranged neatly. The open shelves make it easier to reach out for ingredients during cooking. It also compels you to keep things neat in the cooking space.
8. Farmhouse chic
9. Glassy eyed
10. Island life
Rather than go with two rows of counters, this kitchen decided to incorporate a slim island that functions as a space for entertaining as well as for baking. A marble grain quartz material envelops it on all sides so it appears like a huge monolith block of expensive natural stone.
11. The little details
12. Clever contrast
13. Classic black
14. Woodland wonder
