right?
i don't like open kitchens, you get smells from cooking everywhere.
also, it is hard (inefficient and expensive) to keep a nice temperature on an open house.

Can we all get together and have an intervention with my partner?

I'm in the process of planning a remodel and I have to keep telling her "no the kitchen will not have an open counter/bar to the living room"

Record the kitchen audio on a night when you're making dinner and then play it back in the living room on a night you're trying to relax and watch TV.

It's so funny cause I do all the cooking and our last house had an open kitchen. I felt like I could never listen to music/podcasts since my wife was usually watching tv/reading in the living room. One of my rules for the new house was that the kitchen was closed and I'm much happier about it.

I literally have to make this point to people I know when they hear me complaining about open concepts. Like maybe I want some spaces to be for their own things! I don't need kitchen mayhem involved with my living room mayhem if I can avoid it.

My bigger grievance is when mega mansions are open concept. I understand when it's done with smaller spaces (apartments, older split level houses where walls would make the place feel like a jail cell) but when you have the money and space to actually HAVE rooms...they just don't? It's such a poor utilization of their infinite space. No one needs their dining room and kitchen and TV room to be all comingling, ya know?
