The great news is that it can still be removed and you can still open up the space as you want it. What you need to do is to replace the load bearing. You would need the expertise of a local architect because that is a project that you shouldn\u2019t take on alone. He will also be the one to ascertain that everything is done in accordance with the building code.<\/p>\n

An easy and inexpensive way to remove a wall is the installation of an engineered wood beam. This has to be positioned right below the current floor joists. The contractor can build a temporary wall on every side of the bearing wall. He can then remove the bearing wall, have the wood beam installed, then have the temp walls removed.<\/p>\n

The architect may also tell you to use steel instead of wood beam because of the length of the wall that is about to be removed. This will cost more but there are situations when it is the only viable solution.<\/p>\n

You would also surely love picking out the colors, finishes, fabrics and other stuff when you\u2019re remodeling. Space planning results in a more efficient place. Find images of open floor spaces and find out how you can use the same concept in your home.<\/p>\n

Know Your Space Needs <\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to make a list of the spaces and their functions within the large spaces. Assign square footage for every area. Consider also the size of your furniture as well as the number of dwellers in a room. An example is the space between the dining room table and the kitchen counter should be no less than four feet. This is so people can freely walk between them.<\/p>\n

Consider Space Relationships <\/strong><\/p>\n

After determining the size for every space, find out the need for each room to be near each other. Define why they need to be adjacent.<\/p>\n

People will be moving from one space to the next so make sure that you place the rooms that make sense to be right next to each other. Obvious adjacencies include the kitchen and the dining areas as well as the living area and the entertainment area.<\/p>\n

Adjacencies also make sense when you consider plumbing or sewage lines. Doing so will minimize the costs that come with doubled pipes or damaged lines.<\/p>\n

Know Your Organizing Preferences <\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing where the bathroom and kitchen would be as well as working with the constraints of the building structure should lead to the next question \u2013 how will the smaller zones fit into the open space? The four options include linear, grid, axial and central.<\/p>\n

Linear organization is called such because of the series of spaces that were arranged to create a straight line. This is a flexible type of organization since you can easily adjust the shapes and sizes of the zones for as long as they are still related to the line.<\/p>\n

Axial, on the other hand, uses two or more major points to define the arrangements such as the bathroom and the kitchen having two separate linear paths.<\/p>\n

Think of Furniture Grouping <\/strong><\/p>\n

Always think of the furniture that you own when grouping room functionalities. The bedroom should have the nightstand, dresser, and of course, the bed. The living room should still have a distinct coffee table, end table, chairs, and a sofa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
