"The openness and flexibility of our layouts make it easier for homeowners to customize spaces to their needs and implement Feng Shui aesthetics," said Kieran Hardesty, VP of Architecture. "Open-concept floor plans are an ideal starting point for homebuyers who want to create flexible and connected spaces that foster harmony and flow."
"With the right design, open floor plans give homeowners the flexibility to define zones, balance energy, and create spaces that feel harmonious and connected," said Cliff Tan, architect and author of Feng Shui Modern. "With thoughtful planning, these spaces can feel cohesive and balanced, enhancing the overall energy of the home."
A Timely (and Timeless) Design Trend
Characterized by a lack of walls between different living areas like the dining room, living room, and kitchen, open-concept floor plans enhance traffic flow, natural light, and a sense of spaciousness. This provides homeowners with the flexibility to craft their space to their needs. By arranging furniture and design elements in accordance with Feng Shui, open-concept layouts can foster harmony, balance, and even prosperity in the home.
10 Open-Concept Floor Plan Design Ideas to Boost Feng Shui
1. Create a positive first impression: According to Cliff Tan, the front door is where energy enters the home, so you want to make sure the impression you create upon entering is a positive one. Turn the entryway into a zone where you can "settle in" before you or your guests enter the home. It's all about creating good energy from the get-go.
"Do not underestimate the power of a first impression." – Cliff Tan
2. Switch up the lighting: A crucial source of energy in your home, lighting can be directed intentionally to guide the eye toward important areas of focus. Natural light, in particular, is a positive source of energy. Situate important zones where you'll spend time, like your desk or couch, near windows where they can benefit from natural light. In turn, artificial light can be used to create zones, utilizing light and shadow to split spaces and define what you want the eye to focus on.
"In Feng Shui, lighting is a source of energy. By crafting the type of light you use, you can change the energy levels of a space." – Cliff Tan
3. Split up your space with rugs: Rugs are a genius way to segment spaces while adding personality, depth, and character to a room. Area rugs can be placed under the dining room table, living area, and even in the kitchen. They can also be used to create a sense of space: horizontal rugs make a room feel wider while vertical rugs make it feel longer.
4. Choose furnishings that complement your room. Select furnishings that create openness or separation depending on how you'll use a room. For more spacious open-concept rooms, you might want larger furnishings that feel more protective and help define zones. For smaller spaces, low-profile furniture often works better. When in doubt, Cliff Tan advises that you "choose furnishings that not only look good but make you feel good."
5. Use art and patterns to guide energy: Art and the use of patterns are a great way to guide and move energy around a room. For example, says Cliff Tan, "if you want to make someone walk toward the living room, have a piece of art that subtly directs them—almost like an arrow."
Tan also notes that art is important for influencing how you feel in a space, and that art should be relevant to a room and its usage—for example, a dining room with vibrant art to promote a healthy appetite!
6. Balance color throughout the home. When it comes to a healthy color balance, Cliff Tan advises "not to focus too much on one element (i.e., one color). Try to have a healthy mix of everything." For example, an all-beige room without greens, blues, reds—even subtle touches of black—could end up feeling like a desert.
7. Don't skip the end tables: End tables are an easy way to delineate different areas in an open-concept design—and to anchor larger pieces of furniture so that they don't feel like they're floating in mid-air. Different end tables can promote different aesthetics and vibes, depending on your needs and tastes. For example, if you want to soften a room's energy, you could opt for an end table with rounded edges.
8. Consider your window treatments. How you let natural light into your home can influence the energy in a room—and ultimately your mood. For example, curtains or fabric blinds could help soften light in a room and help imbue a sense of calm.
9. Keep spaces organized. Keeping your open-concept home clutter-free is essential for maintaining positive energy. Ensure clear pathways in a room so that energy is not blocked or hindered. Furniture pieces like ottomans, coffee tables, and end tables with built-in storage can help you stay organized—with clearly categorized items—while subtly defining different areas within your home.
"You can have tons of stuff as long as everything is organized." – Cliff Tan
10. Top off the room with a mirror: Mirrors reflect and thus double the energy wherever they're placed, so make sure that they reflect good stuff and not bad stuff. For example, Cliff Tan recommends you avoid placing mirrors where they could reflect a messy kitchen. However, you could enhance positive energy by having your mirror reflect the dining room table or the pretty artwork that you've hung on the wall.
"Use mirrors to your advantage to reflect the nicer-looking things in a room." – Cliff Tan
Cliff Tan's Final Word on Feng Shui in the Home:
"Feng Shui is a very intuitive thing. There is no right or wrong. It is about different people finding the right environment and enhancing it with things that are close to their heart."
