Deciding on Kitchen Layout: Seeking Remodeling Advice

[nihomox]

Hey everyone,

I'm planning a kitchen remodel and could use some guidance. My main question revolves around layout – should I go for an open-concept design or stick with a traditional closed-off kitchen?

I love the idea of an open layout for entertaining and family gatherings, but I'm concerned about noise and smells traveling throughout the house click here. On the other hand, a closed-off kitchen might offer more privacy and keep the mess hidden, but it could feel cramped. What has been your experience with either layout?

Any tips or insights would be greatly appreciated!
