House of Supreme: 6 Ways To Create Designated Zones in An Open Plan Space

A vast open plan home is one we all dream of having. Designing and building this kind of home, however, can become dated and dull. What if there was a way to do simple renovations without getting rid of the vast open spaces? What if there was a way to create smaller areas in a large room without big structural changes? Thankfully, with the assistance of creative interior design skills, this can be achieved with the aid of paint colour, floor variations and House of Supreme privacy and bypass shutters.

  1. Airy room divider

There is a multitude of ways to do this. You could use a thick, tall bookshelf to create a partition between your living area and dining area. However, this option could prove to be very bulky.

By putting them in neat, cosy circular or square shapes, you will automatically be creating tiny spaces within larger spaces. By doing, so you have created conversation areas in a vast open space. It will feel “homy” as well.

  1. Rugs

Here is a nifty and inexpensive way to differentiate between specific areas. By adding rugs of different textures, shapes and sizes, you can diversify one space from another. For example, placing a round rug in a conversation area would then earmark the living room from the other areas in the space.

  1. Flooring variation

A great way of breaking up spaces is to change up the flooring materials. You could use tiles in the areas you have earmarked as the kitchen and then break the space by installing wood flooring where the living room starts. By mixing materials, it will create those desired designated areas without physically dividing the space up.

  1. Cladding

Cladding is a particular timber wall used to create a new space. You could use paint or a textured fabric to cover it. Furthermore, an inexpensive way to build that feature wall is to use photos and frames. A feature wall will define the space from the others. Cladding can be used in conjunction with bypass shutters for a cost-effective solution.

  1. Lighting
