Kitchen design ideas for open floor plans allow you to renovate an existing home by moving away from the smaller, compartmentalized rooms and structured living spaces of the past. These open floor plan designs create spacious, user-friendly informal areas that connect common areas.
An open kitchen floor plan as the name states, in a home with this type of layout has one or more large, open rooms that function as multiple rooms within a single living area. The most well-known is a “great room” that combines the kitchen, dining room, and living room in one shared living space.
A great room floor plan typically works extremely well in homes with less than adequate square footage or out of necessity, while in a larger home that have more area to work with when introducing great rooms into the floor plan. By removing transitions, such as doors and doorways and eliminating walls between rooms, entertaining and movement between living spaces also becomes easier and friends and families are able to spend more time together even while in separate rooms.
