Today’s homes need to be even more multifunctional, but as architects are finding, traditional open-plan living spaces have some drawbacks and are not for everyone. That’s why leading French interior expert Schmidt has embraced the trend for ‘broken-plan’ living, providing architects, builders and developers with a huge choice of furniture modules and innovative designs that create light and airy open-plan homes, while at the same time, dividing areas into different zones for cooking, dining, relaxing, working, and more.
Get the look: Schmidt’s Wonder Wall is a double-sided bookcase/wall that brings instant structure to an open-plan space. Practical and multifunctional, it creates a useful partition between kitchen and hallway without fully enclosing either side. You can even add a doorway to create even more privacy and act as a sound barrier if you’re worried about noise.
Schmidt is an expert in creating made-to-measure furniture that fits every space and each nook and cranny to the nearest millimetre – perfect for this multifunctional trend, where every millimetre matters. The company is a go-to brand in the B2B sector, where designers can use even the most awkward space for extra storage using its 3D Fit concept.
Get the look: Think Scandi chic for this Arcos collection in an ultra-matt Nano Claystone finish. It works beautifully with warm, natural tones for a timeless and organic look.
Expert tip: Use full-height cabinets from floor to ceiling to house an oven built-in at eye level – kinder on the knees and back and safer for children. Ingenious idea: The sides and back of this full-height cabinet module make a great display unit leading to the dining zone, creating all-round visual appeal.
