What's New for Open and Broken Plan Living

Open Plan Living

Across all sectors, open plan living is a trend that shows no sign of slowing down and is continuously demanding furniture design that offers increased flexibility and multi-functionality.

Within the home, one of the most popular areas for open plan living is the kitchen-lounge-diner; the social areas. This style creates spacious zones that cater for all users simultaneously, meaning that whilst one person prepares food, another can study or relax. This social style grew in popularity on the continent and has since captured the imagination of UK homeowners.

Broken Plan Living

For customers who aren’t quite ready to commit to open plan living, there’s a new trend to embrace; broken plan living. This is a compromise between open plan and traditional living styles, that takes the spacious and social elements of open plan living, and combines them with small space distinctions, such as partitions or mezzanines, between spaces and their functions.
