Homeowners are now into knocking down walls so they can create a sense of light, space, fluidity, even a level of sociability. Of course, there are also downsides to this kind of layout. It is known to reduce quiet spots and private moments. Furniture placement can also be a problem for those who are not that familiar with the concept. Add to this the pile of dishes which you can\u2019t ignore when you\u2019re watching your favorite TV show, and you\u2019re just about to explode. If this concept is okay when it comes to your social life but does not serve its purpose when you want to relax and be alone, then you could compromise with the broken-plan theme.<\/p>\n<p>So what exactly is a broken-plan concept?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fifty-Percent Open, Fifty-Percent Private <\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1002\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" ><a href=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/04\/BLOG-3.-Henredon-Living-Room-Deco-Chaise-A6707-H.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1002\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1002\" src=\"http:\/\/mccreerys.blogs.eprevue.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2016\/04\/BLOG-3.-Henredon-Living-Room-Deco-Chaise-A6707-H-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"The backseat of this Henredon Living Room Deco Chaise A6707-H can also serve as a divider between the bedroom and the living room. \" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The backseat of this Henredon Living Room Deco Chaise A6707-H can also serve as a divider between the bedroom and the living room.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Broken plan, simply explained, is all about keeping the things that you like in open plan living and saying yes to privacy at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>To embrace this kind of theme, you must be prepared to divide your overall space in a subtle manner. Be able to install smart shelves, use half walls, come up with split levels, etc. These are the breakout zones that will offer you relaxation and privacy. This can also give you the perfect sense of space and light while still providing ample distraction from your relatives once your mood goes slow-mo.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s lovely about open-plan living is that you get to have a flow of light. Be careful that you do not create dark or small rooms as you introduce closed doors or walls.<\/p>\n<p>Broken-plan living is that safe middle with open shelves and filtered lighting; the flow and connectivity between the adjacent rooms should still be there. Having an extra wide opening for a door or two can add to your new design concept.<\/p>\n<p>Boost light further by installing internal windows. This is especially useful when you have a home office as it can provide a sense of quietness without separating you from the goings on in the general living area.<\/p>\n<p>These wide openings are the best compromise that you could have for those torn down walls and narrow doorways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Broken-Plan at Another Level <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can also make use of multiple floor levels or various ceiling heights. You can also separate, for instance, the chic kitchen from the entertainment area without one room <em>bleeding<\/em> to the other. What you achieve is a space where the whole family can gather or individual members be alone should the need arise.<\/p>\n<p>Many modern homes have also encompassed dining, cooking and living areas. The layout may look spacious but it is the privacy that suffers in the end. This connectivity and bustle inside the kitchen simply can\u2019t offer relaxation at any level.<\/p>\n<p>Retain a slab of wall at one side or a wide bookcase to subtly establish a dividing line. Another chic example to do this is to create a split level. Having a different flooring material at the living room and the dining area indicates visual separation.<\/p>\n<p>Having ample room height could allow you to accommodate the construction of a loft. This is a smart way to create a different living area in what could have been dead space. It is up to you to assign which level is the more formal room.<\/p>\n<p>The use of partial walls to divide a large room is a good way to create smaller lounging areas. If you have been blessed with a huge bedroom then you can also employ the broken-plan to come up with a separate space for studying, lounging and doing other hobbies.<\/p>\n<p>If you aren\u2019t a big fan of walls, then use glass sliding doors to embrace the broken-plan theme.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest trends in the interior design industry is the so-called open-plan layout.
