Open plan is a bit of a buzz-phrase when it comes to interior design. We know that way we use our homes has evolved considerably, as we shifted from life confined within a series of four walls to more open and free-flowing spaces. The secret to these areas would lie in their multi-functional approach and encouraged connectivity, as families could complete homework whilst making dinner or entertain guests whilst serving them.
But the question is, how does your approach to interior design differ when designing a modern kitchen that's also part of your living space? Unlike traditional rooms, colors and shapes are present within zones but also play a part in the big picture of this space. Planning your space and considering how you want each zone (kitchen, dining, or lounge) to connect with one another is a great way to start but also considering your color palette for these spaces is key. You want to ensure that there is a strong sense of visual flow from one zone to the next, but the room doesn’t feel too rigid in its use of color or texture.
