E AT - I N K I T CH ENS If you enjoy the idea of entertaining while eating or cooking, an eat-in kitchen is probably a good fit for your living space. Add a boost of functionality and style to your own eat-in space with these ideas. 1 Meals with a View Is your unit overlooking a great view? Don’t waste it. Place your dining table or build the dining counter next to the window for a scenic dining experience. 3 Comfort First Bar stools are not always the most comfortable spots to linger so get one with a backrest, arms and a footrest for long-lasting comfort. 4 Backsplash Beauty Since the kitchen is out in the open, try an unconventional backsplash with a running tile design. Match it with the rest of the design elements in other communal areas for a sense of uniformity. 2 Casual Arrangement The fridge doesn’t always have to belong in the kitchen and a centralised position will make it easy for guests to help themselves to ice-cold refreshments. Kitchen The new semi-open- concept layout allows the occupants to cook while mingling with family and friends through the dry kitchen counter.
