Tips for Furniture Arranging with an Open Floor Plan

Open floor plans are becoming more and more popular in today's homes. We love the freedom that an open floor plan gives you in terms of flexibility for the design of your home. Although, sometimes all that flexibility can make it harder to decide how to use all of the space at hand. Today, our furniture store at the Lake of the Ozarks has some tips for creating the perfect layout for your open floor plan.


Use Furniture to Define Rooms 

Even with an open floor plan, you still want to define your spaces for living. With thoughtful furniture arranging, you can easily create the illusion that there are separate areas of your home yet still have the perk of your home feeling open. Below are a few tips for achieving this.

#1 Rugs Are Your Best Friend 

Rugs a beautiful thing for home design. They work great for adding a pop of color to any room but they are also great for tieing any room together! If you are unsure how to create a living room with an open floor plan purchase a large area rug and you instantly have a guide for where to place furniture.

#2 Use Furniture to Create Walkways 

Your sofa or sectional is a great way to create walkways. Use the angles to your advantage to create walkways and separation from your kitchen and dining areas.

#3 Create  Focal Point 

It's important to create a focal point in each area so the room does not feel cluttered. Without a focal point, there is nothing to grab your eyes attention causing the open floor plan to be overwhelming.



Create a furniture grouping in your living room or use a couple side chairs in front of your fireplace to create your focal point. For your dining room, you can use artwork on the wall or unique lighting over your dining room table.
