However, these layouts pose challenges to making them dynamic, with the zones clearly distinguished yet visually interesting. One recent Decorilla client reached out for help with just that. Read on to see the beautiful open plan interior design coming to life!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>The Challenge: Open Floor Plan Interior Design<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Open plan interior design bears many advantages when done right. Among many challenges to solve, the imperative is to create a functional flow from the front door all the way through your living room, dining area, and kitchen. The client also had some specific requests for a designer, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Keeping the dark floor scheme that extends throughout the entire house<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bringing more light to both the kitchen and family room<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adding new countertops and backsplash to better match <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/kitchen-trends-2022\/?from=blog-BAopenfloorplaninteriordesign-bloglingkitchentrends2022\">current kitchen trends<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Adding a wine bar to the family room<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Changing most furniture and wall colors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"color: #940638;\">Want to see more amazing before and after transformations?

In her brief, she included three different possibilities for changing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/kitchen-cabinet-colors\/?from=blog-BAopenfloorplaninteriordesign-bloglinkcabinetcolors\">kitchen cabinet colors<\/a>&nbsp;and countertops. Moreover, a set of inspirational photos set a closer example of her vision. The client also suggested the Sherwin Williams Porpoise hue for consideration as the primary color for the kitchen. Nevertheless, she remained open to new ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><b>Open Floor Plan Interior Design Ideas &amp; Concepts<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-image-44498\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"927\" height=\"742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Open-plan-interior-design-by-Decorilla.jpg\" alt=\"Open plan interior design by Decorilla\" class=\"wp-image-44498\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Open-plan-interior-design-by-Decorilla.jpg 927w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Open-plan-interior-design-by-Decorilla-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-decorating\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Open-plan-interior-design-by-Decorilla-768x615.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 927px) 100vw, 927px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Open plan interior design by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/?from=blog-BAopenfloorplaninteriordesign-cap1\"><strong>Decorilla<\/strong><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>After receiving the invitation to design, and exploring the client&#8217;s briefing, two creatives from Decorilla composed their concepts. Both mood boards featured attractive and modern open floor plan interior design ideas that the client was looking for. However, several details prevailed in favor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.decorilla.com\/online-interior-designers\/kasonndra-l-76256?from=blog-BAopenfloorplaninteriordesign-kasonndraportfolio\">KaSonndra L<\/a>&#8216;s composition; hence the client decided to proceed with her.
