Without walls to hinder flow and close rooms off from each other, our open floor plans present wider possibilities and more flexible use of space. Open-concept floor plans typically feature expansive living areas that combine the dining room, living room, and kitchen into one large space. Open floor plans were originally designed for smaller modern homes where maximizing square footage was critical, but have become popular in homes of all sizes and styles because of the many advantages of an open floor layout.

An open floor plan is a type of interior layout that removes physical barriers to visually combine the kitchen, living, and dining areas. This is in contrast to traditional floor plans, which place these spaces in separate rooms. Open floor plans are sometimes also referred to as great rooms and may feature volume ceilings and seamless indoor-outdoor connection through patio doors, depending on the design.
Any kind of house can have an open-concept layout, but this wasn't always the case. At first, open floor plans were unique to modern and contemporary homes. Their open, informal interiors stood in contrast to the formal definition of older traditional architecture. The open floor plan was so popular that it has been incorporated into every sort of style now, and you'll find it in homes of every shape and size, too.
Open floor plans offer a variety of benefits to today's families. Because the common areas are combined, you can enjoy a more spacious living experience that maximizes every square foot. The open layout also allows natural light to shine deeper into the house. Many families prefer open-concept living because it allows them to keep a closer eye on the kids and is ideal for hosting, too. Finally, an open floor plan will always be in demand and will help with resale!
