It wasn’t that long ago that kitchens were considered an afterthought when it comes to house planning. Evidence of this is still present in some older Spanish homes on the Costa del Sol, where the kitchen is squirrelled away and closed off from the rest of the home. Back then, a kitchen was purely for cooking and very little else. But over the past few decades, the kitchen has grown and evolved entirely.
Nowadays, the kitchen is the hub of the home, the centre of all activity. Not a day goes by where we don’t use it, even when we’re not cooking! The evolution of the open-plan kitchen/living area has brought us closer together by providing a communal space for family, friends and even home offices. When many of our social gatherings involve eating and drinking, it all makes perfect sense. There’s something about getting together whilst food is being prepared that just makes everything right in the world.
Some of the more recent housing developments over the past decade or so on the Costa del Sol, benefit from much more contemporary kitchens, enjoying vast open spaces with plenty of light flowing throughout. These kitchen layouts often make use of large islands and breakfast bars with stools, merging into the living room or dining area to create one shared space. These areas then tend to spill out onto a terrace or balcony area, creating a seamless connection from the indoors to the outdoors and the ultimate living and socialising space for life on the Costa del Sol.
