The open American kitchen, connected to the living room with an island or breakfast bar, has become the most-requested layout in Amman, and it is one Kit Design designs and fits across the city. From apartments in the centre to villas in the outer districts, we plan open kitchens that keep the cook part of the room, look like furniture from the living area, and stay practical to use. It is a layout you can build in aluminum, acrylic or wood.
The island and the bar
The island is the heart of an open kitchen. It can hold the sink or hob, add a big block of storage, and give you a raised breakfast bar for stools, becoming the natural place the family and guests gather. In smaller Amman apartments, a peninsula bar gives much of the same open feel without needing a large room. We size and plan it around your space and how you host.
Coffee corner, seating nook and ceiling
Open kitchens invite the features Amman homes love: a dedicated coffee corner for the machine and cups, a built-in seating nook where the family sits, and a gypsum-board ceiling detail with recessed lighting that marks out the kitchen zone within the open space. Together they make an open kitchen feel designed rather than accidental.
Designed to stay practical
Because an open kitchen is on full show and shares air with the living room, we plan three things carefully: a finish that looks like furniture (usually aluminum with an acrylic or wood-grain front), a properly-sized extractor hood so cooking smells do not fill the lounge, and enough closed storage to keep worktops clear. Done right, an open kitchen is as liveable as it is impressive. Book a free measure to design yours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you design open American kitchens in Amman?
Yes. Kit Design designs and fits open American kitchens across Amman, connected to the living room with an island or breakfast bar, plus coffee corners and seating nooks in aluminum, acrylic or wood.
Do open kitchens have a smell problem?
They can, because there is no wall to contain cooking smells, which is why a good, correctly-sized extractor hood is essential. Planned properly, ventilation keeps an open kitchen fresh.
Can I have an open kitchen in a small apartment?
Often yes. In a smaller apartment a peninsula bar gives much of the open feel without needing a large room. We assess your space at the free measure and design the layout that fits.
