Once upon a time, kitchens were functional spaces closed off from the home, used purely for meal preparation. Today, the kitchen is the hub of family life, a change that is reflected in kitchen designs that call for open-plan spaces. Here we showcase three renovations that demonstrate how even an older kitchen can be transformed into a bright, flowing space appropriate for modern cooking and gathering.
