Open-concept floor plans<\/a> often define homes with the best great rooms. A home is considered “open concept” when two or more rooms that are traditionally separated by walls are merged into one contiguous space. The unimpeded view makes the spaces feel more inclusive and even larger. Opting for an open-concept design also creates clear sightlines for parents watching little ones, and natural ease when entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great rooms provide some of the best open spaces. A great room should be a comfortable area to spend plenty of time in. It is not considered formal, so the d\u00e9cor is often casual and inviting. The focal point in most great room layouts is a fireplace, entertainment center, or large picture windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
