    How to Create an Open Floor Plan

    How to create an open floor plan

    If you are sick of living in tiny, little rooms, here are eight things to consider when planning your open floor plan remodel.

    Eight things to consider when creating an open floor plan

    Best wall to remove

    If you can only pick one wall to remove, consider removing the wall between the kitchen and dining room or living room. Most buyers are looking for an open-concept kitchen. Homes sell for less if the kitchen is separate from other living spaces.

    Show it off

    Kitchens used to be tucked away in the back of the house, but today’s kitchens are stunning and deserve to be shown off. Connecting your kitchen to the rest of the house can make your home look more impressive and modern.

    Entertaining

    If you love to entertain, but hate being stuck in the kitchen, an open-concept kitchen allows you to spend time with your guests while preparing the meal. It also allows you to fit everybody in your home without feeling cramped.

    Removing cabinets

    Many homes that were built a couple of decades ago have those L-shaped counters with the cabinets that block the view of the dining area. These are simple to remove and taking them out can really open things up.

    Make your home feel bigger

    If your home is small, removing a wall is a great way to make it look and feel bigger. In Sydney, with all the gorgeous weather, an open floor plan shouldn’t forget the patio. Removing walls and installing French doors to the patio allows you to pull in outside space to make your home feel bigger. It also makes it easier to entertain guests or grill outside.

    Staying connected

    Combining living spaces helps keep families connected. Instead of spending your time in separate rooms, an open space allows you the flexibility to do things together and to interact. This makes it easier for parents to watch their children, whether they want to see what the kids are watching on TV or keep tabs on the toddler while cooking dinner.

    Multi-purpose

    Homes with open floor plans allow homeowners to use spaces for multiple purposes. Most homeowners hate the idea of having a dining room that never gets used. Instead, by removing a wall you can open up the space and use it for other things too – allowing for more versatility.

    Light it up

    Love natural light? Opening things up allows the windows to let light into the entire home.
