Why Choose an Open Concept Renovation?

Open concept is a popular layout design with homeowners in the Philly area and beyond, particularly for busy families. Here are reasons why many homeowners prefer an open concept floor plan, and why you might love it too:

  • Enhance flow: Enjoy seamless movement — and uninterrupted conversation — between spaces. No more yelling through walls, navigating hallway traffic jams or needing to say, “I’ll be right back.”
  • Increase natural light: Dreaming of a sun-drenched kitchen, dining room or living room? One way to brighten up your space is to remove windowless internal walls. You might also consider adding more windows during your remodel to really amp up the natural light.
  • Create a sense of spaciousness: An open concept remodel makes a space feel larger and more airy, which might be a more comfortable layout for you and your family. Your remodel can also include repainting the walls in a lighter color to make the space feel even more expansive.
  • Watch the kids: Wondering if the kids are actually doing their homework? With an open concept layout, you can easily monitor your little ones from across the room.
  • Enjoy a modern design: Maybe you just like the look of an open concept layout — nothing wrong with that! Any home can have a more modern look and feel with an open concept remodel.

The Open Concept Remodeling Process

We understand that a layout change, like an open concept remodel, is a pretty big decision. You probably have some questions, concerns and ideas you’re eager to talk about — and we’re eager to listen! At COCOON, we will create and share three different floor plan options based on your goals and budget, so you can explore all the possibilities for opening up your space.

With our guided remodeling process, we’ll walk alongside you through every step — helping you make decisions you feel great about, keeping you informed, and ensuring the entire experience is personal, simple and uplifting.

When it comes to communication, we don’t build any walls between us and our clients. Learn more about our 3-stage process here!

Explore Our Open Floor Plan Remodeling Services

Open concept remodels usually involve converting common areas, like the kitchen and dining room, into connected and cohesive spaces. Although we’ll tailor our services to your needs and vision, we typically transform layouts into open concept designs in the following ways:

  • Open concept kitchen and dining room: Are you longing for a kitchen that’s brighter, more spacious and makes it easier to gather and interact? We can unify your kitchen and dining room beautifully and help you perfect every detail before construction starts.
  • Open concept dining room and living room: No need for some guests to be in the dining room while others are in the living room. Bring everyone together for holidays, birthdays and just-because celebrations. We can combine your dining and living space, ensuring it fits your unique vision and functionality needs.
  • Open concept dining, kitchen and living room: Want to open up most of your first floor? Let’s do it! We’ll help you select the ideal layout and design details for your needs, guiding you toward the choices that matter most.
  • Indoor-outdoor open concept: Imagine soaking in springtime greenery and birdsong right from your couch. Sound lovely? It can happen! If you envision an effortless transition between your living area and backyard, we’d love to hear your ideas and design an indoor-outdoor space together.
  • Hybrid open concept: Do you want an open concept only some of the time? Or maybe you desire a space that’s only partially open concept? You can absolutely have a layout that blends the best of open concept and traditional layouts. For example, you can install half walls to separate spaces without completely closing them off, or put in sliding doors to use as needed. The possibilities are endless, but don’t worry — we’ll help you narrow things down!

FAQs

Not sure if an open concept is right for you? Let’s talk about it! We’re happy to help you explore the options and figure out your ideal remodel. In the meantime, feel free to check out some FAQs.

We make it easy to remove a load-bearing wall in order to create an open concept. The first step is to identify if the wall in question is, in fact, load-bearing. If so, we typically will add a support beam to maintain stability and then remove the wall — but it all depends on your unique structural needs and desired design.

Our Architectural Design team will consider all of the structural technicalities during the Space Planning stage to develop the best options for your space.

Not sure whether the wall between your living room and kitchen is load-bearing? No worries — we’ll help you figure that out!

The best flooring for your remodel mainly depends on your design, maintenance and comfort preferences. That said, some popular flooring materials for open concept designs include hardwood and engineered wood. Overall, there are so many options to consider, from bamboo to carpet. We’ll help you choose an option that not only meets your needs but also looks great with your new layout!

Whether an open concept remodel increases home value can be influenced by what’s popular in the local market. Many families in the Philly suburbs love the modern look and spacious feel of open concept layouts, so homes that offer these designs tend to attract more buyers or sell faster in the area. Nevertheless, changing your home’s layout can make life at home more comfortable and convenient, which has lots of value in itself.

The short answer is yes! While it’s true that some homeowners prefer traditional floor plans, there are just as many — if not more — who love open concept layouts. With that in mind, open concept homes aren’t going anywhere any time soon. Instead, we might expect these designs to continue evolving with homeowners’ needs, becoming more innovative, flexible and personalized as time goes on.
