Open plan living areas have become part of our daily life. However, a thoughtless design can hinger the quality time you wish to share with your loved ones leaving you frustrated and uninspired. Here are 4 design tips we can help you with to harness bonding time between your family and friends so you can you foster deeper connections.

Open layout for interaction:
We design open layouts that promotes easy flow, unabstracted communication and good interaction among family members. Arranging seating in a way that brings everyone together, making space for family time doing what you love most, creating a conducive environment for conversations and creating storage for your everyday needs will all promote a healthier, harmonious and togetherness you crave for.

Comfortable and versatile seating:
Choosing comfortable and versatile seating options like sectional sofas, cosy armchairs, pouffes and more will give a range of choice for the different moods you and your family will experience in your open plan living. After all, this is the space you’ll spend most of your time in so it’s important to accommodate for all times of the day and night. We also ensure you have additional seating that’s welcoming and comfortable for your guests so everyone can feel right at home.

Tech-free zones for quality time:
Designated tech-free zones within the living room to encourage quality time without distractions is also something we get requested. We can create cosy reading corners or board game areas where phones and screens are set aside so you can all be present to enjoy your precious days together.

Interactive entertainment:
Integrating interactive elements such as a media centre for your family movie nights or space to play your collection of records is something we take into consideration when designing if you enjoy these. We ask you how frequently you want to use these and a few other questions to understand how central to the design these elements need to be. We make sure that the entertainment setup engages everyone in a comfortable way.

By incorporating these design elements, an open plan living room can become the centre of your family life for sharing special moments, experiences, conversations, and bonding. It’s a space where your family will come together to relax, play, and connect, fostering stronger relationships and create memories.
