Open floor plans are a common and popular characteristic in south Louisiana homes. Whether your home was built with this design concept or you are planning to renovate your home to create it, you have a lot of options when it comes to these seamlessly combined living and dining spaces. From clever furniture placement to creative design elements, this mixed-use space can support flexible, yet well-defined zones for both dining and living. Here are a few themes you can consider when it comes to your open floor plan’s combined living and dining rooms.

Back-to-Back Living & Dining Room Combo

One cohesive design option is a back-to-back layout. By anchoring the living space with a sofa that is positioned away from the dining area, each zone is clearly defined. A consistent palette of white or gray in terms of cabinetry, paint, floors, and furniture can also enhance this seamless space.

Warm & Modern Living & Dining Room Combo

There are more options than furniture to create a dividing line between your dining and living rooms. Other accessories and features can be used to separate each space. Accessories like a floor plant or a lamp can offer subtle divisions. They also blend well with a warm, modern design. Wood floors, leather furniture, industrial accessories and pendant lighting all promote a contemporary aesthetic.

Farmhouse Living & Dining Room Combo

You can give your open floor plan a farmhouse feel. Exposed wooden beams, glass front cabinetry, and other charming touches can completely transform these combined rooms. A fireplace and handpicked furniture that complements each room can also bring this farmhouse atmosphere to life. Dividing these adjacent spaces by facing the living room furniture away from the dining area can help to keep each room separate yet connected.
