Maximize for multipurpose use
Consider the classic living, dining, and kitchen layout for a tried-and-true arrangement. Start with a linear approach, placing your anchor pieces, such as sofa, dining table, and kitchen island, parallel and perpendicular to each other as you see fit; the effect creates a clean-lined and well-balanced look. To help unify the spaces, keep materials and colorful details consistent—be it woven accents that are picked up in all three areas, dark wood tones throughout, or vivid art on multiple walls.
