Since the late 1990s, open floor plans have been all the rage. For those who may be unfamiliar, the term "open floor plan" refers to a house in which two or more traditional-use spaces have been joined to form a much larger room—think of a kitchen and living room combo!
Open floor plans typically only apply to common areas like the kitchen, dining room, and family room. Homeowners love it—and this popular architectural plan doesn’t appear to be disappearing anytime soon. But, why do Denver homeowners love it so much?
It’s no lie that homeowners everywhere—even here in Denver—love open floor plans. Considering the pros and cons? Here are three reasons why homeowners typically choose an open floor plan over a traditional closed-off layout.
Do you have a big family? Love entertaining neighbors, friends, and other guests? Open floor plans give you the illusion of a bigger home and allow extra open space for large crowds. Opting for a combined kitchen and living space allows your home to be the place to party—especially for big gathering days like the Super Bowl or Christmas morning. And, you’ll love how much traffic flow improves with no doors to open and close.
A no barrier, minimalist home is the way of the future. Besides the benefit of extra natural light, you can also look forward to layout flexibility and more opportunities to embrace home decor trends. With an open floor plan, you won’t be restricted by closed off spaces—and you can redecorate to your heart’s content.
Open floor plans also offer flexibility for the future. Don’t love the space in ten years? Need to add an office area? You’re in luck—it’s so much easier to remodel or renovate when extra walls aren’t in the way. Not convinced? Open floor plans are also highly desirable by home buyers and can increase your home's value should you ever decide to sell.
