No somos imparciales, pero: ¿no es verdad que la cocina es el corazón de la casa? En unos cuantos años ha pasado de ser “simplemente” el lugar donde se preparan los alimentos, al escenario habitual para momentos inolvidables con tus amigos o familiares.
¿No ves tu cocina así? ¡Salimos al rescate! En este artículo hemos recopilado una serie de ideas para fomentar la convivencia y la interacción en tu cocina. De tu mano dejamos lo de crear en ella recuerdos para toda la vida.
La isla: el centro de la socialización
Nada como una isla central con taburetes para crear un punto focal en tu cocina.
Este elemento no solo ofrece una superficie adicional para preparar comidas y cenas, sino que también ofrece un espacio donde los invitados pueden sentarse, conversar y participar en la experiencia de preparar la comida.
Para esto, te recomendamos instalar sobre tu isla una encimera en voladizo. De esta forma, los comensales se pueden sentar cómodamente sin que tu cocina pierda ni un solo centímetro de almacenaje.

Integrated spaces for greater connection
The open concept is now a reality, going from almost "a kitchen open to the living room" to a single space with blurred boundaries.
This layout allows those who are cooking to participate in conversations and activities in the living room, making the kitchen a natural extension of the living areas. In addition, the absence of walls brings a sense of spaciousness and light into the home.
In this type of space, islands can be a fundamental element when it comes to structuring the different areas.
Breakfast bars for small spaces
For kitchens with limited space, the mini-bars are a practical and very aesthetic solution.
This element can be integrated into peninsulas or even attached to the wall to serve as the perfect place for quick breakfasts or snacks accompanied by an informal chat.
almost out of space? Go for folding bars, which can be stored away when not in use, optimising the available space.
Your little corner
If you have more space, even if you don't have enough square metres, you can always create a breakfast nook with a small table and comfortable seating. Ideal for those who like to have breakfast with the family before starting the day.
Colours that invite conviviality
We always say that there are colours to suit all tastes, but the reality is that the choice of materials and colours plays a crucial role in creating a welcoming atmosphere (or at least that's what colour psychology says).
Opting for warm tones and natural materials, such as wood, gives a feeling of warmth and comfort.
Extra tip to make it cosier: incorporate decorative elements, such as open shelves with exposed utensils or plants. This way, you add personality and make the space more pleasant.

The perfect light
You already know: well-planned well-planned lighting can transform the atmosphere in the kitchen. Combining general lighting with spot lighting over key areas, such as the island or bar, creates a warm and functional ambience.
The use of dimmable lights (such as the lighting systems that can be integrated into our furniture) are perfect for every occasion, whether it's an intimate dinner party or a family get-together.
