Homeowners are increasingly gravitating towards "broken" floor plans, which provide separation between spaces while maintaining a sense of openness. These plans use elements such as internal windows, floor-level changes, and subtle ceiling or trim details to create distinct zones. These are said to be an evolution of the open concept, rather than a complete departure from it. The 'broken' plan allows daylight to continue moving throughout the house while clearly separating specific areas in the home. It is recommended that if you already have an open floor plan, switching to a more broken layout can make it easier to sell your home easier. The most recent trend is the emergence of homes that support both living and working spaces, particularly those that support multigenerational living.
