HOW TO FURNISH AN OPEN FLOOR PLAN

5 TIPS

Decorating an open-plan space is about finding the balance between function and aesthetics. With thoughtful furniture choices, soft textiles, and moody lighting, you can create a unified and inviting atmosphere. Define zones with the help of rugs, lighting, or furniture placement, and make sure there’s plenty of seating and space for socializing. By following these interior design tips for an open-plan layout, you’ll create a home that feels practical, personal, and harmonious. These tips will help you design a home that feels welcoming, stylish, and perfectly suited to your needs – ideal for enjoying everyday life.

1. HARMONIOUS COLOR SCHEME

A consistent color palette is crucial when decorating an open-plan space. By matching cushions, throws, and other textiles in similar shades, you create a harmonious look and visually tie the room together. Choose colors that complement each other and contribute to a calm, balanced atmosphere. Enhance the overall impression by coordinating both materials and furniture colors – this creates a well-thought-out and stylish feel. By working with different shades and tones within the same color range, you can create natural zones without disrupting the room’s flow. This way, you achieve a cohesive and comfortable interior that strengthens the sense of unity throughout the open space.

2. DIVIDE THE ROOM INTO ZONES

When decorating an open-plan space, it’s important to create clear zones to give the room structure and function. By using rugs, furniture, and shelves, you can visually divide the space without completely closing it off. Place rugs strategically to mark different areas, such as the living room and dining area. Use sofas, tables, or bookshelves to define zones and give each part of the room a clear purpose. Screens or open shelving also work well to create boundaries while maintaining light and openness. With well-thought-out zoning in an open-plan layout, you create a balanced and practical interior that makes your home feel both cozy and functional.

LIGHTING TO CREATE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE

The right lighting in an open plan space helps you create both function and atmosphere. Use multiple light sources to define different zones and bring the room to life. Combine ceiling lights for general lighting with floor lamps, table lamps and wall lights to create depth and variety. Floor lamps provide soft light in cozy corners, while table lamps are suitable for work surfaces or as decorative elements. Wall lighting can highlight details and create visual interest. With thoughtful lighting, you get an atmospheric and flexible interior design that works throughout the open space.

4. DECORATE WITH TEXTILES FOR BETTER ACOUSTICS

To create a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere in an open-plan space, a good acoustic environment is essential. By decorating with textiles such as curtains, rugs, and upholstered furniture, you can effectively dampen sound and reduce disruptive echoes. Choose textiles that complement your style while also contributing to a quieter, cozier environment. Curtains don’t just act as visual dividers – they also help absorb sound. Rugs, especially larger or wall-to-wall varieties, add softness to the space while improving acoustics. Upholstered furniture, such as sofas and armchairs in fabric, further reduces sound reflection and helps create a more soothing and comfortable acoustic environment in your open space.

5. CONSIDER FURNISHING

To create a harmonious and functional open-plan space, it’s important to plan the furniture placement carefully. Arrange furniture in a way that encourages socializing while also maintaining a natural flow between different zones. Choose pieces that match in both style and scale, and prioritize flexible solutions—such as modular sofas and adjustable tables—that can be easily adapted as needed. This makes it easier to create various arrangements within the same space. Avoid over-furnishing to preserve a sense of openness and airiness. With the right furniture in an open-plan layout, you can achieve a balanced, social, and inviting environment where each part of the room serves its purpose.
