People love an open floor plan for their home because they forge the interiors with exteriors. These plans add a feeling of spaciousness to the same area, allow natural light to enter, and create a safe environment for social activities.
When the indoor and outdoor areas merge, you enjoy a different type of living space. Your new home can use this option with an advantage. We spell some of these advantages here.
- Bring in the Outdoors
Linking the outdoor area to the indoor area is often a part of building luxury homes. This enables opening the indoor space to a spacious outdoor veranda. A house with a veranda fetches higher sale value besides adding more space and providing a sheltered area. Naturally, you also get protection from the sun and help reduce your air-conditioning costs. Designers suggest various ways to integrate the areas, such as the use of similar flooring for areas as well as sliding shoji screens or wall to ceiling glass doors. The expansive space is excellent as a relaxation or entertainment area.
- Plenty of Natural Light
Integrating seamlessly indoor and outdoor spaces provides you a great benefit of filling the space with light as walls disappear. You can enjoy your garden view sitting inside the house through the glass windows.
- Inviting Spaces
If you love to entertain guests, opening up the indoor space to outdoor space creates an excellent atmosphere for a party. You need not feel stuck to the kitchen area while cooking; enjoy fresh air and conversation with your guests. Your guests feel cosy and relaxed in an integrated indoor-outdoor space.
- You Can Create a More Family-orientated Home
If you cook for your family, you already know there is that feeling of being isolated while you prepare the meals. Perhaps the rest of the family members will be watching a show in the living room or even eating at the dining room; you have no choice but to complete your culinary responsibility. You end up missing out on the bonding moments and conversation because the living spaces are separated from each other. To solve the problem, you can switch to an open floor concept.
- Safety and Security
In a family with kids, a large area created by merging indoor and outdoor area is a boon. An Open floor plan creates a spacious area that is visible from the living room, dining, and kitchen area. Parents worried about their children’s safety can keep an eye on their children’s activities while working inside the house. Linking the two places creates a safe play area for the children and an area supervised without being physically present with the children while they play.
