While open-plan spaces have much to offer homeowners, creating a more sociable layout, allowing natural light to flow effortlessly around the home and helping small areas feel more spacious, keeping them warm, especially now that temperatures have dropped, without facing huge heating bills can be tricky.
In the case of my own home, our open-plan kitchen ideas form the main bulk of the ground floor, with the kitchen, dining room and snug making up the space. While we have some division in the form of a peninsula between the kitchen and dining room and a partial wall between the snug and dining area, during previous winters, we have found ourselves struggling to keep things feeling cosy.
