It’s a trend that’s here to stay… A 2016 report by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) on home design trends for the next ten years states that kitchens will continue to serve as focal point of the home highlighted by open design concepts
Traditional homes were built with smaller rooms that were assigned names for their function. Over the years, the pace of life has increased, and family life has become more hectic than previous generations. As a result, homeowners have recognized that fewer walls invite conversation and opportunities to connect.
Open floor plans are appealing spaces with one or more open rooms that comprise different living areas. The most popular open floor plan combines the kitchen, living, and dining rooms into one large shared space. Open floor plans increase natural light and the feeling of spaciousness.
Removing a wall that separates two small areas is an option that creates a spacious living area. Within an open space, cozy areas can be defined by the placement of furnishings and area rugs. Open areas allow more flexibility in arranging areas that function for specific activities. As kids grow older and family lifestyles change, areas within the open space can easily be modified.
