Our Dining area is split one level up and it's an open area. From the Dining area you ware able to see the Hall, Foyer and outside of the home. Dining area then leads to the Kitchen which is an open concept yet closed in a sense that you are not able to have a full view if you are sitting in the Hall or Foyer. Unfortunately our Kitchen does not have a wet or dry kitchen. However, we have tiled our back lane with left over tiles and made a wash area where if we entertain, the dishes can be washed outside.
We have chosen different tile colors to indicate Dining and Kitchen area. White matt tiles for the Dining which is also the same color as the Hall and charcoal grey with orange insert for the Kitchen tiles.
Kitchen cabinets were custom made by Kitchen Palace. We chose the color white for our cabinets as we wanted our Kitchen to look bright. The home appliances were bought during Home Deco fairs. They were display sets and we have got a certain discount off them.
Here are some photos of our Dining and Kitchen area before and after renovation.
