CHARMING OPEN KITCHEN INSPIRATION!
For some people, having an open kitchen is a luxury that requires a large investment. For others, having an outdoor kitchen is not a choice but a necessity due to the lack of kitchen space inside the house.
Most of the simple minimalist houses offered today do use the concept of an outdoor kitchen. As the homeowner, it's your task to transform this kitchen into a comfortable space for use.
Interestingly, as long as we know how to arrange a simple open kitchen, we can turn the back kitchen of the house into a cooking space that is not only comfortable to use but also very unique in terms of design.

How about that? The example of a simple outdoor kitchen design above looks very beautiful, right? However, the kitchen table is made of ordinary wood material painted in dark black and white colors on top.
You can easily apply a back kitchen design like this. Besides being achievable with a small budget, this unique kitchen will make cooking at home an interesting experience.

Because it faces directly to the backyard garden, the kitchen looks more spacious and bright. This minimalist open kitchen design at the back of the house is prone to dust, so use bamboo curtains on the sides of the kitchen to ward it off. In addition to dust, bamboo curtains can also be used to block the wind to keep the stove flame stable when cooking.
3. Kitchen in a Pleasant Corner

Even though it's in the corner of the house, your kitchen will still be pleasant when decorated correctly. The way is by adding ornamental plants and decorating the household furniture. Don't worry even though the design of this simple open kitchen at the back of the house is not more than three meters wide. What's important is that you can cook comfortably, and the kitchen equipment can be neatly organized, right?
4. Open Kitchen with Minimalist Space

This open kitchen design is vertical and won't take up much space. Even a 2x1 backyard area can be utilized. But to maximize storage space and prevent items from getting dusty, it's better to use closed cabinets above and below the kitchen table.
Avoid placing items on the kitchen table if you don't want them to get dirty, especially if the back of your house hasn't been covered or paved. Despite being small and simple, open kitchens like this are often used as design alternatives in subsidized houses where there is no specific space for the kitchen.
5. Open Kitchen with an Industrial Concept

Different from other industrial concepts, because it's simpler, the materials used are more dominant with wood. But there is still open wall access without paint and the use of dark-colored iron materials that are the characteristic of the industrial concept. Even in lighting, it still uses minimal pendant lights according to the chosen industrial theme. It seems like the kitchen merged with the dining area looks like a small eatery. But it's definitely more interesting thanks to the selection of equipment materials and aesthetic arrangement.
6. Kitchen with a Mini Bar Theme

Imagine how enjoyable it is to spend the afternoon in an open kitchen with a view directly facing the garden? Wow, it must be very pleasant, right? It turns out that a kitchen concept like this can also be realized in a minimalist house with limited land. The size of the kitchen bar doesn't have to be large, it can be adjusted to the room's size. Even if the bar can only fit two chairs, it will still be enjoyable as long as the arrangement is right and far from messy.
Compared to a closed kitchen or a kitchen located inside the house, an open kitchen concept is actually superior because it's energy-efficient and produces minimal smoke from the cooking process. Although the arrangement is relatively simple, not many people are interested in creating an open kitchen due to limited space, not to mention the 'fear' factor at night. However, this can be overcome by creating a semi-outdoor kitchen that can be added with glass doors or curtains that can be used as a cover. Moreover, this open kitchen design is suitable as an alternative to entertain guests when invited for a meal.
