This open-plan kitchen and living room combine modern design with seamless functionality. The kitchen, inspired by Japanese aesthetics, features dark wood that contrasts with the light, airy tones of the living room, creating a dynamic balance. The use of recycled wood adds depth, while the oven placement above the counter maximizes space efficiency. In contrast, the second design also follows an open-space concept but emphasizes light, soft colors throughout. This creates a serene, cohesive environment where the kitchen and living room flow naturally into one another, offering both elegance and comfort.
