3 Wide-open Spaces for Some Decorating Inspiration

When it comes to home design, the open concept trend is here to stay. But we know how hard it can be to create a layout that defines each “room” when there aren’t any walls! So here, we’re showcasing three stunning wide-open spaces for some decorating inspiration.

- A large elegant table is the centrepiece of the dining zone; its position—offset to the kitchen island— works to make this area appear independent.
- Careful lighting choices are the final touch. A black industrial-look chandelier over the dining table and white pendant lights in the kitchen clearly separate the two spaces.

In the entryway, a wardrobe unit separates the area from the living room. It’s an ingenious alternative to storing coats on hooks and shoes on the floor along the wall.
- The large dark rug is placed in line with the fireplace wall to define the edge of the sitting area.
