Open floor plans are available in many new homes for sale in Perth
today. Basically, it combines the main rooms (dining, living, and
kitchen) into a single area to optimize the use of space. It gives more
square footage to move around and lets in more natural lighting to
brighten up the home. An open floor plan is also ideal for families and
social gatherings. For instance, a parent can watch over the kids or
entertain visitors in the living room even when performing some kitchen
chores.
However, the challenge with an open floor plan is
delineating space between rooms yet still keeping the distinctions
subtle. Here are some tips for first homebuyers:
Use shelves as dividers
While
some shelves need to be placed against walls, you can use some to serve
slight partitions. A shelf beside the kitchen or your entertainment
unit with its back to the dining will give each area a more
distinguished look. Make sure that they’re not too tall to block the
view of the other room when you’re seated or too bulky for the pathways.
Create contrast with colour
An open floor plan uses a single colour throughout the backdrop, but
you can make areas appear separated by varying your colour themes.
Bright pillows in the living room, kitchen cabinets with neutral paints,
and dining tables with solid tones, as well as pieces of artwork and
figurines, will do a great job in making each of your spaces livelier.
