Open Plan living is becoming the new done thing. But how can you decide whether open plan living is right for you before taking the plunge?

The best way for you to decide if open plan living is right for you is to see it. If any of your friends have an open plan living in their home, ask if you can pop over to see it. Head to open houses or view new build properties to see an open plan living design. This is the best way for you to decide if this will be right for you and your home.

Another way you can decide if open plan living will be right for you is to talk to a designer. Ask a property designer to come to your home and give their honest opinion on what they would do and whether they would incorporate open plan living. Not all homes suit open plan living, some are unable to support it, so it is good to get a professional opinion before committing.

If everything turns out to be all good and you are still unsure, we say take the leap! Go for it and try having an open plan living in your home. Yes, it will make a lot of mess, yes it may be strange at first. But if you don’t try it, you’ll never know.

The good thing about open plan living is that if you don’t like it, it is fairly simple to put it back to how it was before. Yes, this will take time, but it is possible. So you can try it and change your home back if it is not suitable.

Open plan living won’t be for everyone, but it does come with a range of benefits that makes it a great investment for lots of homes across the United Kingdom.
