A unique space in which the divisions are reduced to the lowest terms.

And this is how the open space concept was born. It is appreciated by the worldwide architects who design exclusive solutions and architectural tricks to make the best use of the space or to simply make charming an interior that is already wide.

No entrances, no passages, no closets, no doors but only a relax zone where you can enjoy your time.

A sharing space of interaction.

The differentation of the living room functions can be entrusted  to the use of a several flooring (material and contrast nuances), but also to a whole series of solutions such as make a filter, a communication but never a definitive closure between home environments.

Let’s see them one by one.

• Island or double Island that defines the kitchen area is an excellent solution to distribute the space, having at the same time a large worktop.
• Glass partitions:  they separate without divide. This is one of the hottest trend right now.With an industrial inspiration they separate but they leave united the home enviroments: the glass exploits the positive factors of an unique space, giving a chance to have a distinct areas.
• Columns or dividing panels: being detached from the traditional wall composition, they are another device that mark the rhythm and liven up the spaces.
• Libraries are the perfect alternative to the walls, when it comes to furnish an open space. This is specially the case if they are a double face libraries that are accessible to both sides defining a space without overly blocking the view.

Often also the design components, armchairs, floor lamps or the accessories pitch to make a modern home more dynamic.

Moving on to the advantages of the open space solution, analyzing the “pros” and “cons” which involves such design choices.

PROS

There are no particular “cons”, the only limit is the space availability. The space at your disposal has to be enough for an open space kitchen that is functional and surprising.
