You’ve undoubtedly heard of this type of floor plan. Spacious, open rooms sprawling from one side of the house to the other unencumbered by walls or doors. It’s an open-concept home, and homeowners love the way it opens up even small-sized homes. People buying new homes are asking builders to create open-concept homes that bring light and air to the entire house. Here are the top five reasons to love this type of floorplan.
Fewer walls mean more space to move around – and less wasted space. Instead of confining hallways and separation between each room (which can take up precious area), open-concept homes flow from one place to the next without division. There are more options to add in and move around furniture or statement pieces. And you can easily connect your indoor living space to your outdoor space.
Open-concept homes often seem lighter and airier than floor plans with separated rooms. That makes sense, of course: Light can travel from one side of the home to the next without obstruction! This also impacts airflow – and temperature. Breezes can move from one side of the house to the next, improving the flow of air across your entire home.
Is there anything worse than being stuck in the kitchen away from the action during a lively party? Or having a group of people crowd around one room to keep the conversation going? Open-concept homes create interconnected spaces without barriers, so people can flow from one room to the next without feeling disconnected. Plus, hosts can quickly move from one area to the next, making entertaining enjoyable rather than a hassle.
Open-concept floor plans make your home seem bigger. With the amount of time you and your family will spend in your living room, kitchen, and dining room, it’s important to feel relaxed. Being able to move freely from one of these spaces to the next will make that even easier. Your home (and family members) feel connected and whole rather than separated and distant.
This benefit goes beyond aesthetics. Wide-open spaces are easier to heat and cool, which cuts down on energy bills and utilities during hot or cold months. The abundance of natural lighting also cuts down on energy bills, because you won’t need to turn on your lights quite as much.
You can see now why the open-concept floorplan has become so popular. It’s excellent for brand-new builds, especially for people who enjoy entertaining. You can make your home brighter, livelier, and more spacious by doing away with walls and barriers.
Building a home with Creative is more than a process of building a house. Its the people you get to meet, work with and get to know along the way. And Creative knows the right people to have in the right position.
Wow! It's hard to know where to even start and I know I won't be able to list everything, but I have to try and tell you how we awesome we feel about the whole building process with Creative Homes and how much we truly love our new home. The process of building with Creative Homes was the most relaxing (sounds weird, but so true!) home building experience we have ever been through. The communication provided from the very start until the very end has been phenomenal. Not once during the whole process did we ever sit and wonder what was going on regarding our home. I honestly wish I could name everyone behind the scenes at Creative Homes who works so hard to make customers like us have such an awesome home building experience. This company has the standards and employees that all companies should take note of and follow the example of.
We love it from top to bottom inside and out!!! Thank You!! Creative Homes has been fantastic to work with, they have made it a breeze purchasing a new home. Every single person I’ve met from Creative Homes has been a pleasure to meet and they are very friendly and knowledgeable.
