Need help dividing kitchen from dining area
11 years ago
We have a farmhouse/arts and craft style home. We enjoy the open floor plan but would like some kind of room division for the kitchen. The door to the left is the pantry, we just removed huge cabinets that were at the end of each counter in the kitchen that made it claustrophobic. To the right is the perpendicular
dining area with a huge farmhouse style table. Ideas? I was thinking rustic ceiling beam, curved archway, etc.

11 years agoThanks so much, attached are two more pics. I had thought I would separate the kitchen but the dining area is an idea...I just don't want the whole bottom floor be all kitchen
PRO11 years agoThis was a designer show house I did. We had the same situation. I added columns and lighting. It could be used with or without a bar.

(Aqua is white wood or drywall under soffit, green is drywall)
