Reimagine your living space with Metricon's open-plan house designs. Experience the freedom of expansive living areas that promote natural light and flow, and enjoy the endless possibilities for customisation to create a home that perfectly reflects your individual style and needs.
Open-plan living is a key feature in most modern Australian homes. It offers benefits you won’t find in traditional floor plans, such as:
By removing walls and barriers, living areas become more expansive, filled with natural light and much more inviting. This is particularly beneficial for homeowners who love to entertain. The open concept allows for a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, and living room.
Open floor plans offer the flexibility to customise your living space according to your needs. Whether you're a home buyer looking for your dream home or planning to renovate, open-plan designs can easily accommodate a home office, study nook, or even an alfresco dining space for outdoor living. Plus, the flexibility to customise spaces allows it to easily integrate with various design styles, from Hamptons to split-level homes.
Creating a cohesive open-plan living area requires some thought. Here are some home design ideas to help you get started:
Your floor plan is the blueprint of your new home. Whether it's a single-storey home or a double-storey, an open floor plan enhances the flow between living, dining, and kitchen areas. Opt for house plans that combine these functions, making it easier for your family to spend quality time together.
Natural light plays a crucial role in any modern home. Incorporate large windows or even a skylight to brighten up your living areas. This not only makes the space look bigger but also adds a touch of luxury.
The kitchen island is often the centrepiece in an open-plan kitchen. It serves as a functional divide between the cooking and dining areas. Pair it with a dining table that complements the interior design to create a harmonious dining space.
Use furniture to define different areas within the open space. For example, a cosy rug can delineate the living room from the dining room. This helps in maintaining the functionality of each zone without compromising the open concept.
Australian homes often feature a blend of indoor and outdoor living. Consider landscaping or an alfresco area adjacent to the main living space. This extends the open-plan living experience to the outdoors, perfect for the Australian climate.
Your home should reflect your style. Whether it's a family home or a two-storey masterpiece, add elements that make it uniquely yours. This could be a master suite with a view, a family room for movie nights, or a study nook for focused work.
