Open-Concept
Layout to Utilize the Space Most important decision for the design was choosing an open concept layout throughout the house. In a small space, walls to separate rooms could sometimes create a feeling of confinement; they preferred an open space with less segmentation. The kitchen, dining, and living areas all flow into one great room, so the home feels much larger than it is. There are no doorways or partitions; light flows throughout the house, giving the illusion of space.
In the kitchen, they chose sleek, space-saving appliances that fit well in an open-concept design. They opted for minimalist, modern storage solutions that would be flush with the walls rather than bulky, traditional cabinetry. The countertops are uncluttered, and a floating kitchen island serves as both a dining table and an extra workspace. This multi-functional piece maximizes the efficiency of the space without compromising its design. By incorporating open shelving, the couple also achieved the perfect balance between functionality and style. Not only does this make cooking a staple highly accessible, but it also breathes air into the entire space of the kitchen.
Coming to the living area near to the kitchen, the planning has been done to utilize the space to its greatest efficiency without overcrowding. Thus the small yet comfortable sofa under an appropriately placed window offers quite an inviting spot to read on when sunlight is pouring in. The entertainment center has been replaced instead with a wall-mounted television with which saves space while boasting modernity. Floating shelves store books and other home décor items, while any added furniture has been crafted custom to hold additional supplies that do not have to occupy useful floorspace. It is indeed this simplicity that will form the basis of success to living areas. With fewer belongings and distractions, functionality can now be matched with added comfort.
