Open concept homes are the dominant floor plan in Austin new construction and renovation. Here's how to choose flooring that creates visual flow and makes the space feel larger.
Why Flooring Matters More in Open Concept Homes
In an open concept home, the floor is a continuous visual field that the eye travels across without interruption. A poor flooring choice — or worse, multiple conflicting flooring choices — makes the space feel choppy and smaller. The right flooring choice creates visual continuity that makes the space feel larger, more cohesive, and more intentional.
Option 1: Continuous LVP Throughout
The simplest and most popular solution for Austin open concept homes is running the same wide plank LVP from the entryway through the kitchen, living room, dining room, and hallways. This creates perfect visual continuity — the eye travels uninterrupted across the entire space. Wide planks (9"–12") work especially well in open concept homes because they reduce the number of seams and create a more expansive visual field.
Option 2: Herringbone as a Focal Point
For homeowners who want to make a design statement, herringbone hardwood or LVP in the main living area creates a dramatic focal point that elevates the entire open concept space. The herringbone pattern draws the eye and creates visual interest without requiring additional furniture or decor.
