Open plan home is one the common designs or architects nowadays and it is for sure that how will have a lot of gun designing it. Here are some tips on which you can maximise your space in open plan design.

1. HOW TO DESIGN AN
OPEN-PLAN HOME TO
MAXIMISE SPACE

2. Since around 1990, open floor designs have dominated architectural
design in newly constructed homes. To combine the kitchen and
dining room, the dining room and living room, or all three into one
large living area, or "great room," has been the goal of several large
renovation projects in older homes.
An open floor plan does not imply complete openness or the absence of
any partitions between the rooms. Only communal areas are included
in open floor layouts. Bathrooms, powder rooms, bedrooms, and home
offices are examples of exempt spaces. The kitchen, dining room, and
living room are typically included in open floor layouts.
Kitchen and dining area: Frequently, a kitchen and dining area are
located in the same room. A kitchen island or peninsula may
occasionally serve as a visible barrier between the two spaces.
Living room and dining room: A living room and a dining area share
space. A handrail, two distinct paint colours, and a short flight of steps
leading to a sunken area can all serve as visible separating lines.
An extremely large great room, sometimes with a vaulted ceiling,
may link the kitchen, dining room, and living room.
But in some designs, you may find that maybe an open plan home is a
little suffocating keeping in mind that all the 2 or 3 rooms are
combined in such of course you want to maximise your space as much
as you can and give out the illusion of a larger and much more open
space.
Here are some of the ways in which you can maximise your space -

3. It's time to consider zones and furnishings once you've chosen a design that
suits you and your way of life. Imagine the area as a collection of rooms,
which might seem bizarre. Use this as a guide when placing your furniture
by imagining where the walls would be. To make the most of an open-plan
layout, give each section a specific function. Furniture is going to be your
barrier and which can give the illusion of invisible walls.

4. Creating a lighting design early on will enable practical downlights and
more aesthetically pleasing fixtures in an open-plan living area. To change
the ambience, ask your electrician to connect zones on several circuits. Try to
emphasize natural light wherever you can. For a striking first impression,
try adding skylights or a roof lantern to a single-story addition or a home
with sliding doors and a double-height room.

YOUR ASSETS DON'T
IGNORE IT

5. Open-plan living is a popular option, and many modern designs now forgo
the conventional sitting room in favour of a more casual area that
seamlessly integrates with the kitchen and dining area. The important step
is to define the space. The ideal method for zoning is to provide contrasts in
flooring, furniture, colour, and design while preserving the design's overall
flow. A place may be effectively "zoned" using rugs.

6. Consider placing pocket or sliding doors between areas to increase the
adaptability of a particularly large space. You may have the perfect blend
by having the option to seal off the soft sitting section to make the space
cosier or hide the kids' play area when you're entertaining dining or
cooking.

7. CREATE DIFFERENT
STORAGE FOR
DIFFERENT AREAS
Clutter is the archenemy of open-plan living because it hides everything
and makes entertaining and relaxing in your living area less enjoyable.
To keep things accessible yet simple to tuck away, it's crucial to have
designated storage in each location, such as cabinets and bookcases in
the lounge. Do not store unnecessary material in your kitchen storage.

8. These were some of the ways in which you can
maximise your open space and at the same
time make it more appealable as well.
