Fully Integrated Kitchen

The fully integrated American kitchen is one that has no physical or visual blockages or limitations. The kitchen and living room are completely united and share the same space, making them ideal for small houses and apartments. However, this type of kitchen has less storage space and, therefore, good planning will be necessary for you to be able to store everything you need with just one wall.

Partially Integrated Kitchenette

The partially integrated American kitchen is the most famous and well-known version that brings a counter or countertop between the environments. The advantage of this kitchen is that it visually delimits and marks each of the spaces, in addition to offering a space for meals and even for placing a cupboard. Very suitable for those who use the kitchen daily and need to save and store a greater amount of groceries and utensils.

The American kitchen can be partially integrated with furniture. In this case, sideboards, buffets, and even the living room sofa can serve as space markers.
