I like to have a house with a closed concept.
For me, a house with a closed concept means that (in most cases) there is no direct view from one head of living space to the next. Rooms are separated by Eithher a wall, a door or a bow. In our house, while there is a view from the entrance to the sitting room to the dining room, most of our living spaces are separate from the others.
I have been asked for the downloads of life with the direct view, such as that tend to eat with houses built in the last twenty years. In my experience there are many more reasons to love living in a dense concept house than not to love it. Really, the only times that I was considered as a little more open concept layout are when I am cooking dinner in the kitchen. When we host, I get Subtijden Fomo and I don’t want to miss anything with our guests. To prevent this, I invite people to kill with me while I cook.
In today’s message I share my favorite things about our house with a closed concept.
4 reasons why I love our house with a closed concept
1. Messes are included more easily.
A friend recovered me what the first time I had her for dinner. I left the dogs in the back door, covered with mud and to mess around, followed quickly. I closed the dors between the kitchen and the rest of the house to replace the mess, cleaned everything and then returned fairly quickly to the part. It was subject to that I was so used to scholars, I didn’t think about it twice! Only when she confused it did I realize how useful the layout is for the lifestyle of our family.
If we have people, it is also easier to do last-minute cleaning and retain to the general feeling of order, because things do not spread from room to room like Muan.
2. It’s easier to have time alone.
Now that the children get a little older, we can let them play independently more often, and Joe and I can only have time in individual spaces. Having the rooms helps to make this possible, and I only have the time I can get in a different busy life.
It should be noted that we live in a larger house than before. This means that there is of course more room to spend time separately. However, we tend to use about half of the house the most when it is only our immediate family, so the map of the closed concept will certainly still help.
3. I can design each room separately.
When you design within an open concept floor plan, you are first and Fortost is built up the design around a coherent schedule. A little skill is needed to find out how to do that. With our closed concept rooms, the feeling is that each room can have its own personality.
Although I will consider the overall color palette of the house when I design a certain room and feel no need to be bound too closely. This made the process of experimenting with rooms in our living spaces especially fun. You can see the individuality of different spaces in rooms such as the Blue Library/Office and the Green Family Room.
4. It believes that our family is trying various activities.
I know from experience that when you have a great great room with a TV, it is easier to adjust to your routines. When it comes to downtime, this often includes the TV. In this house, with individual spaces without TV, we are attracted to do different activities. The children will read when I work at the office, we play games in the living room and we do crafts on the Kook island.
