One of the first things, which you must do, is to pick the correct layout. One must assess how people are going to move around this space. There must be enough space for someone to pass through this area and hence a focus on the layout is essential. A person must be able to smoothly pass through the zones.
In a regular kitchen, one is free to experiment a bit on the designs, but here one must tread carefully. The décor of gorgeous countertops and attractive cupboards may clash with the rest of the furnishings of the room. Hence, there is a need to stay clear of the trendy stylish kitchen designs and resort to simplicity. One should focus on a design that is cohesive to open-plan space.
In an open plan, it is easy for homeowners to get carried away and do anything. However, this will only lead to chaos. The need of the hour is to allocate each area for some specific purpose. It would be appropriate to place the kitchen at an exterior wall and that should help in the placement of the sink, appliances. There is still the possibility of creating separation by installing a kitchen island or bar. The positioning of the dining table is also important and it should be close to the kitchen. This will make sure that one need not have to carry food to a significant distance.
It is good that you are blending the kitchen with the living space, and we have already discussed the benefits of this work.

There will be noise in the kitchen space and that could be anything from clattering pans to running water. This can at times be a disturbance and hence the suggestion will be to maintain this distance. You could always place the dishwasher elsewhere.
