15 Open-Concept Decorating Ideas

The generous size of this open-concept home offers plenty of options for space planning and decorating. A floating furniture plan allows fluid movement between the breakfast nook and living room, while a solid color scheme unites all surrounding spaces.

Since most entryways open directly into open living rooms, keep the color schemes and styles complementary. The same coral paint used in the entryway carries throughout the living room, so all areas work together.

An updated thermostat can make a world of difference in a beautifully designed home. Swap out old, dated thermostats for more attractive options, like this programmable system.

To give the space between the living room and eat-in kitchen a practical use, it was designed as a casual breakfast nook. A round table and rug keep traffic flowing easily between the two spaces. Anytime you're working with a boxy space, consider adding rounded pieces to soften the hard lines.
