Everyone wants to encourage socializing and natural light in their living room, but the question is how to do that. Gisele Bündchen's Florida home confidently answers with a sprawling open-plan layout. The model purchased the $9.
1 million dollar estate in a Miami suburb last year, and it's a masterclass in contemporary design. From cascading lights to sculptural, glass elements, it feels like stepping into an ode to Floridian luxury. The living room layout flows seamlessly into the kitchen and the dining room in one cohesive open-plan space.
Despite the futuristic look, the logic behind this design is as old as time. In most spaces, an open-plan living room is an intuitive choice. 'The two most popular places in a home are the kitchen and the living room, so having an open concept living room that flows easily into the kitchen just makes sense,' says Jove Meyer , NYC-based interior designer.
He continues, 'Some people are cooking or preparing food in the kitchen and they can easily interact with those in the living room, and those relaxing in the living room can easily converse with those in the kitchen. Having an open concept layout also allows different hang-out zones for people while they are still in proximity to each other, without walls separating them.' Versatile A sectional sofa is the perfect piece of furniture for an open-concept living room because it is versatile and easy to arrange in the perfect configuration for your space.
