An open plan kitchen that was created by removing a wall that separated it from a dining room has won a prestigious design award in the US.Building firm Feinmann was honoured by the Builders Association of Greater Boston (BAGB) for Best Interior Design of a Kitchen for its project which enables both nightly family meals and dinner parties of up to 14 people.The transformed kitchen also made extensive use of colour themes, particularly around kitchen sink areas. Highlights of blue add a personal touch and appear as accent tiles in the backsplash, iridescent blue flecks in the Blues in the Night granite, colourful blue pendants, and light blue cove ceilings, said Feinmann.Varied ceiling heights were employed as a dramatic touch while oak floors were put down to provide a warm tone.Mydeco.com agrees that the creation of an open plan kitchen is a big commitment that demands attention to detail. Theres no hiding away in an open plan space, so your kitchen has to look good from every angle, advises the website.
