The trend of “open space design,” which has long dominated interior design, is once again converging with the traditional floor plan. In this article, we want to explore the pros and cons of open concept and traditional floor plans.
At the beginning, it is useful and interesting to understand how the open concept layout came about in the first place. Surprisingly, the open layout concept was invented by the deaf community. They envisioned an open layout that enabled better visual communication and awareness of the surroundings. Due to the abundance of natural light, kitchens were the most popular places to socialise, which, due to sign language in shared homes, soon became an obstacle in dialogues. Therefore, they adapted the space to their life needs, and in the ’90s, the concept expanded and began to become the main trend.
An open concept living room can transform your home into a significantly larger and more spacious one. It provides freedom of furniture arrangement, creating an open and inviting atmosphere, while reducing the need for additional furniture and wall decor. It is an ideal setting for social gatherings, and with fewer walls and more windows, natural light enters, illuminating the space and adding charm to it.
A traditional floor plan with different room divisions offers several advantages for different functional needs. It allows you to assign each room its own purpose, providing a calm and private atmosphere when needed.
A traditional floor plan with its separate spaces offers several advantages. It provides a dedicated space for cooking and meal preparation, allowing you to work without distractions. The layout makes organisation easier and offers more storage options with extra cabinet space. If you appreciate a traditional aesthetic, a closed kitchen can contribute to a timeless classic.
Clearly, each layout has its own set of pros and cons, and the right choice really depends on your personal wants, needs, and preferences. The beauty of home design is that it allows you to create a space that matches your unique vision and lifestyle.
