Open floor plans were a popular design feature seen at the 2014 Street of Dreams and are commonly seen in newly built homes. Open floor plans are an ideal layout for families and entertaining, as they create an open environment where everyone can gather and connect. Open floor plans also allow traffic to flow smoothly throughout the home without running into featureless walls. Here are some photos of open floor plans we love!
