By the 1990s, they were a standard feature in American homes, especially in suburban neighborhoods.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, 54% of home builders are designing standard family homes with open kitchen-family rooms, proving this layout continues to be a favorite for many families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Open Floor Plans Increase Property Value?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/21112158\/open-floor-plan-value.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic displaying a bold statistic that open floor plans can increase property value by up to 15%.\" class=\"wp-image-16413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/21112158\/open-floor-plan-value.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/21112158\/open-floor-plan-value-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/21112158\/open-floor-plan-value-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/wpmedia.roomsketcher.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/21112158\/open-floor-plan-value-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Home buyers love open spaces! A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nahb.org\/-\/media\/047718B309764755B66D0A12A8B53E8E.ashx\">2017 study<\/a> found that 70% of American home buyers prefer a floor plan with either a completely or partially open design for kitchen and family room areas. This shows just how popular this layout has become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The numbers speak for themselves:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the US, homes with open floor plans appreciated by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realtor.com\/news\/trends\/which-kinds-of-home-appreciate-fastest\/\">7.4% annually<\/a> between 2011 and 2016.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the UK, an open-plan living area can boost property value by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotsman.com\/lifestyle\/homes-and-gardens\/how-to-increase-the-value-of-your-home-by-as-much-as-20-without-building-an-extension-3119567\">up to 15%<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest perks of an open floor plan is flexibility.
