In an open-plan concept you strive to create separate zones within your one large space, but the challenge is to make the end result feel cohesive, right?! How?
Unify with Common Materials: Wide plank flooring is used throughout to unify this space. Antique brass accents are used not only on the cabinetry but the lighting, faucetts, stools, accent tables.

Luxurious soapstone is used as the primary countertops on the island and drink station unifying the areas. I love the patchwork tiles used on the backsplash for the drink station.
If you're struggling with your open layout, here are a few additional tips to keep in mind that can help you create a stylish, comfortable room for your family to enjoy:
- Choose a unified color palette. In a room with an open layout, it's important to draw from a unified color palette so all areas of the room visually flow into one another. Painting the walls a neutral color like white, cream, tan, gray or taupe is usually your best option because you'll be able to incorporate a variety of accent colors that coordinate with the walls.
-Unify through window treatments. Everything doesn't have to match perfectly, but if it feels divided and choppy and you need a more cohesive feeling look at unifying with common window treatments. That may mean long cream draperies in the family room with the same cream fabric used as roman shades over the sink, as an example.
-Cozy up. Using warm or earthy materials and/or colors, as well as a mix of textures is a great way to achieve balance and to create a more lived-in space.
