Home Front: Enclosed or open-concept kitchens — it's not an open and shut case

Open floor plan kitchens have been a hot trend for a number of years, but not all of our clients at Country Cabinets, Etc. want or need an open floor plan, opting instead for an enclosed space that better suits their needs, lifestyle and preferences.

Why would anyone want an enclosed kitchen? There are many reasons. One is that you don’t have to worry about the mess when entertaining. There’s no need to wash dishes, pots and pans, put away spices and herbs or make sure that the counters are clutter free. You can spend more time entertaining instead of worrying what the kitchen looks like after preparing a meal.
