Homes with Eat-In Kitchen Designs

The kitchen is the heart of every home, and an eat-in-kitchen house plan ensures that everyone in the family can enjoy the space easily and comfortably. Houses designed with a kitchen and eating area within the same space come in various styles, shapes, and sizes.

Smaller house plans without a formal dining room can include an eat-in-kitchen design that creates a cozy setting for dining any time of day.  These homes typically expand the kitchen beyond the main cooking area, allowing for a dining table and chairs. Finding a breakfast nook or other built-in seating area is common in smaller homes.

Alternatively, this feature can appear in larger house styles, allowing the space to serve as the home's central entertaining area truly. This home plans expansive feature kitchens that typically include ample countertop prep space, full-size stoves, oversized sinks, room for a double-sided refrigerator, and even additional cooking areas to allow for an easy meal prep flow. The kitchen's eating area can exist as a multi-purpose center island, or the kitchen could extend directly into a dedicated eating space such as a breakfast nook.

The versatility of eat-in-kitchen floor plans means they can appear in any home plan style, from Craftsman to ranch. Browse our plans below, including this feature, and find the home you’ve dreamed of cooking in!
