The Benefits Of Open Plan Living

Here at Revamp Services we have seen open plan living grow in popularity and we completely understand why. We were not surprised to see the results from The National Association of Estate Agents survey that stated opening up space and kitchen makeovers were among the top 4 home improvements that add value to a property.

We then saw some results from a survey completed by UK Houzz and that stated that 54% of homeowners were making their kitchens more open to other rooms, while 35% are knocking down walls to open spaces in their homes.

So what is so great about open plan living? We have put together some of the top benefits below for you;

Open Plan Living Allows Natural Light to Flow through Your Home

Open plan living is a way of binding a kitchen, which is traditionally at the back of the house, with other rooms and the garden. This creates a large multi-functional area that is full of natural light. There are no pesky walls in the way, blocking the light. The natural light is a great mood lifter and it will help you save on electricity costs too.

Open Plan Living Create A Multi-Functional Space

By knocking down wall and creating a larger, more open space it enables you to entertain guests or talk to your family while cooking a meal, instead of being locked away in the kitchen. As a parent you can be in two places at once, preparing a meal and watching the kids play or do their homework.

Open Plan Living Makes Your Home More Sociable

Having an open plan home allows you room to be more sociable. Guests aren’t locked in different rooms and your kids can play in the lounge area and chat to you at the same time. When you have friends round, we all know everyone goes to the kitchen at parties, but with open plan living this is no longer a concern. Open plan living is a dream when you’re hosting guests.

Open Plan Living Makes Your Home Look Bigger

Open plan living doesn’t just make your home look bigger; it will also feel bigger and actually is bigger. You are taking down the walls and gaining that extra space in your home. However, this doesn’t mean you lose the separate rooms. We can discuss different options such as zoning the space with flooring options, zone lighting, breakfast bars and such like. Just because there are no walls it doesn’t mean there aren’t different rooms.
