There are so many benefits to living a life without walls, both the walls you put up between yourself and other people or the walls you put up between your living room and your kitchen. With open floor plans, it's easy to feel like you have more space available and it gives you a lot more options for interior design. Whether you have an open concept home already or are considering it, let these beautiful, open spaces be your inspiration.
The open design here allows the color scheme from the kitchen – grey concrete with pops of red – to spill over into the living room, making the whole space feel unified.
The textures in this masculine apartment are what really make it pop. From the ceiling to the shag rug, every surface is begging to be examined and touched.
Instead of leaving the kitchen completely open, this apartment makes use of a half wall, so relaxing in the living room doesn’t mean staring directly into the kitchen.
This design really makes use of every square inch, showing just how much furniture you can include even in a small space.
The cool modular sofa is a focal point in this spacious, airy home. Cushions can slide any which way, creating plenty of space for lounging, napping, or just sitting if you want to be boring about it.
Using white for all the walls, cabinetry, and even the ceiling really makes this open space feel bigger.
A cool sofa can take the place of a wall if it’s placed right, like it is here.
A hanging light fixture like this geometric design is a good way to indicate where the dining table goes, when there are no walls.
The smooth lines of this apartment carry you view right out onto the stylish balcony.
A chevron stripe rug gives this open space a feminine touch.
Another small sofa is a perfect addition to this shoebox-size apartment that’s cute as a pair of ballet flats.
Light wood flooring bounces light from overhead and sun from outside for the illusion of a bigger space.
Hanging light fixtures, wall art, and a kitchen counter are all that keep this room from being one big, muddled space. But it works.
White on white on barely gray is the perfect recipe for a small space made big and modern.
Like some of the other examples here, an area rug takes the place of a wall and really makes things feel separate and different.
Having the kitchen and living room undivided is one this, but this home takes it a bit further, using glass doors to separate the public area from the private bedroom. Pretty bold, but very stylish.
If you had a sofa this beautiful, you’d want to put it on display for your dinner guests, too.
You may not be able to squeeze four people on this this tiny loveseat but who has that many friends anyway?
The low profile of this sofa and dining table make the bookshelves and ceilings feel that much taller.
While the sofa provides some separation, what really makes a difference in this space is the tiny step. The occasional faceplant is a small price to pay for a neat design element like that.
Sliding glass doors are shared by the living room and dining room space, with a cool white brick accent wall keeping things indoors exciting, too.
The skylights in this open home may not be ideal for watching television, but they sure do look nice reflecting off the slate floor.
Finally, this beautiful modern apartment has accordion glass doors that make the open floor plan feel like it includes the whole world.
