Open plan living has become a sought-after feature of modern home design. While open plan living is a great way to maximise your living space, encourage family togetherness and enables effortless entertaining, it can also have its downside.
Open plan living provides little privacy, can be noisy and present a challenge when it comes to heating and cooling your home. However, these issues with open plan living can be easily rectified by creating zones.
One of the simplest ways to create zones is by installing pocket or seamless sliding doors.
The Benefits of Creating Zones Using Sliding Doors
Creating zones enables you to keep your open plan yet utilise your space to its full potential and enhance the functionality of your home.
Using sliding doors to create zones provides a stylish, flexible and space-saving option when it comes to creating zones. In addition, there are many other benefits to using sliding doors to create zones, such as:
- Offering the versatility of keeping your space open but creating a sense of privacy by closing them
- Enhancing open layouts by dividing spaces without sacrificing natural light or visual continuity
- Creating a flow between rooms
- Connecting indoor and outdoor areas
- Reducing noise levels
- Providing privacy
- Making it easier to heat or cool the space
Sliding doors are available in timber and glazed options, however if you’re looking to capitalise on the amount of light coming into the space then choose glazed sliding doors over timber.
Creating zones within an open plan living space can help achieve a sense of cosiness and warmth in your home.
