- Colour: One paint colour throughout an open-plan space creates a uniform appearance.
- Decor finishes: Use consistent materials, colours, wood and metal tones in your open-plan space to give all the areas a unified look.
- Keep it casual: Open-plan living marries well with a laid-back lifestyle.
- Define areas: Specific areas need to be demarcated in large open-plan spaces. Arrange key pieces of furniture to divide up the different living areas. Rugs are a great way to help define a particular living space.
- Key features: In an expansive room, create key focal points eg. an exposed brick wall, a built-in bookcase, a fireplace or even a chandelier.
- Seamless design: Because the kitchen is visible from the living area, ensure it is designed to seamlessly integrate with the rest of the space.
- Keep it light: White roller blinds control light and offer privacy while maintaining the airy feel of an open-plan space.
- Storage: Create ample storage space to hide visual clutter. This is particularly important in the kitchen, as it is connected to the entire living area.
