Open Space

An open-plan living space refers to an undivided living area (open kitchen/living room/dining room). It maximizes light and conviviality but requires intelligent zoning.

In an open-plan space: delineate zones with a rug, a change in flooring, a low piece of furniture, or a pendant light positioned above the table.

Mistake: an open-plan space without zoning that resembles a warehouse. Each zone (kitchen, living room, dining area) must be visually identifiable.

An open-plan space visually enlarges the area, improves natural light, and promotes interaction between different living zones. It creates a friendly and modern atmosphere within your home.

You can use rugs, changes in flooring, lighting, or even furniture to visually define and separate spaces (kitchen, living room, dining room) within your open-plan area.

Opt for light, minimalist, and multi-functional furniture that will blend harmoniously into your open-plan space. Avoid bulky furniture that would compartmentalize the space too much.

Judiciously distribute lighting (pendant lights, spotlights, floor lamps) to create different lighting zones and visually structure your open-plan space. Choose adjustable lamps for a custom ambiance.

Prefer light and neutral shades that will help visually enlarge your open-plan space. Avoid overly dark colors that could make it feel smaller.
