Unlike in a home layout with distinct separate rooms, your eye takes in the entire space at once without walls to block your vision. That\u2019s why your selection of materials, colors, and design styles is much more challenging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">First, choose a singular style to use throughout. Just as you would not mix design styles within a singular room, nor would you with an open concept space. Color selection is also important. Use a singular color, or choose from a palette so that one portion does not clash with another.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">For a unified space in which your eye flows seamlessly between the kitchen and family room, marry all the spaces with one flooring material and wall color. You can then create smaller zones using color, trim, area rugs, furniture arrangement, distinct lighting, or partial walls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\"><strong>Use Color to Unify or Visually Divide Space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">Flooring, ceiling, and color tie this open concept floor plan together as one continuous space. What breaks it up to the eye is furniture placement and an area rug.\u00a0While light yellow walls, neutral woodwork and tile over medium toned flooring remain consistent in this open space, the family room is anchored by a fireplace, ceiling fan, area rug,\u00a0and furniture placement.\u00a0Color can also be utilized to separate spaces as shown in this home. Blue walls, dark furniture,\u00a0and an orange rug visually divide the family room from the dining area and kitchen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\"><strong>Arched Openings Create Transitions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">The archway leading to the family room in the image below clearly delineates it from the kitchen\u00a0and living room while still remaining open. The use of a unified color palette and same flooring\u00a0unifies the space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">The archways in this floor plan are a repeating design theme in the space pictured below. The\u00a0dining area is further contrasted from the open space with its gray walls and unique ceiling\u00a0treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\"><strong>Room Dividers as Lines of Demarcation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">This family room and kitchen are tied together by the same flooring material. Yet the spaces are\u00a0divided into two separate regions by a half wall which serves a dual purpose as a bi-level\u00a0countertop and kitchen cabinetry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">A storage cabinet placed between the room\u2019s support columns divides the kitchen and great\u00a0room. Two different ceiling treatments also help visually separate this space.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">The use of a shear curtain and panel doors in the open space pictured below is how this open\u00a0floor plan divides this room into three distinct spaces. Three different ceilings help make each\u00a0space feel like its own room.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\"><strong>Design Lighting to Separate Zones<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">In both images below you can see how the lighting is designed to delineate space. Pendant\u00a0lights over a kitchen island are a common design trick to give the illusion of separation. A\u00a0chandelier suspended over a furniture grouping like a dining room set visually anchors the\u00a0furniture to that zone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\"><strong>Design Your Own Open Floor Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ng-scope\">Note that each of these examples maintains a design style throughout, be it contemporary,\u00a0traditional, transitional, modern, or rustic. They also use a repetition of pattern, materials, and\u00a0color palette to tie the space together. There are other considerations if you are converting from\u00a0a traditional floor plan to an open one which you can read about in our blog post on this topic.\u00a0\u00a0<em style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.6em;\">&#8211; Cases San Jose<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Interested in home remodeling?\u00a0Contact<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/medinaexteriors.com\/remodeling-experts\/\">Medina Exteriors<\/a>\u00a0today, (330)591-4040<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home Remodeling | Decor Ideas for an Open Floor Plan Home Remodeling |\u00a0When designing an open floor plan, it\u2019s challenging [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":3795,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1026,1027],"tags":[1010],"class_list":["post-22080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-remodeling","category-home-remodeling-trends","tag-home-remodeling-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v28.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Home Remodeling | Decor Ideas for an Open Floor Plan<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Home Remodeling | Medina Exteriors and Remodeling - 4029 Jefferson St, Medina, OH | Have questions?
