The Open Floor Plan is Out: Why Traditional Layouts are Making a Comeback

If you’ve been dreaming of a cozy, segmented home instead of one big open space, you’re not alone. The open floor plans that HGTV made so popular are starting to feel like a thing of the past. After the pandemic, as we continue to spend more time at home, many of us are longing for defined spaces—places where we can escape the hustle and bustle of family life and work. The desire for privacy and distinct areas is driving the resurgence of traditional layouts.

In fact, homes like our 1939 bungalow—full of separate rooms and cozy corners—are suddenly back in style! While open-plan spaces have their perks, more people now crave the ability to close doors behind them for a little peace and quiet. Whether it’s a private office, a reading nook, or just a place to unwind without the whole family in view, traditional layouts are gaining new popularity in this age of home-centered living.
