Open layouts and studio apartments comprise all the zones in one, and sometimes it all doesn’t look very neat. If you want to separate the zones, achieve a more elegant and sleek look and hide away some zones, here’s an idea: a hidden kitchen.

How To Style A Hidden Kitchen?
First of all, stick to the style and color palette of your open layout because you will open the doors from time to time and the kitchen should look cohesive. Consider building in some lights as the usual pendant ones won’t be enough. If you need more space, add a kitchen island, which won’t be hidden but still. Skip potted plants as when the doors are closed, there won’t be enough light for them.

What Doors To Choose For A Hidden Kitchen?
The kitchen can be hidden with several types of doors. First of all, these are folding doors, which are the most popular solution as you can vary how much they reveal. Folding doors will cost more than usual ones but they are very comfortable in using. Second, these can be usual doors, they are easier to build in and they won’t cost so much but they will take some space when opened. Third, these are garage doors, which are functional and quite expensive but not comfortable for everyone like for small kids. Fourth, you can try sliding doors, which are one more very practical idea, just like folding ones, but will cost you some money. Get inspired!
