Broken-Plan Spaces Are Trending

Posted on by Aimee Hammond-Gautier

Broken-Plan Living: A New Trend in Home Design Since the pandemic began, remote working has become the norm for many of us, leading to a surge in divided living spaces.

An increasingly popular option is “broken-plan living”, where different furnishings are used to create designated zones within the home. This allows families to share the same space without interfering with each other. Broken-plan living generates not only practical areas but also cozy nooks that are often missing in open-plan homes. Recently,

I had the opportunity to design an office space for KETTELL Windows using their Matt Black ALUSPACE Doors. The transformation of a tiny storage space into a beautiful broken-plan office at the KETTELLS showroom in East Goscote Leicester LE7 3XA was remarkable.

An office cubicle with floral wallpaper features a desk with a lamp, office chair, green rug, and a potted plant on the side. A wooden shelf holds framed art.
A metal ladder stands open alongside a taller folded step ladder against a white brick wall. Various tools and materials, including a roller and cloths, are scattered on the floor.
A modern office setting features a blue swivel chair on a green rug, with framed artwork and potted plants against a black wall. Text on a pink triangle reads “JOIN OUR CRUSADE TO BANISH BAD ODORS.”
A step ladder and painting supplies are arranged in a partially painted room with white walls and a green accent wall. Tools and materials are placed across the floor, indicating ongoing renovation work.
Laptop and mouse on a glass desk, surrounded by decorative items including lamps, plants, and framed artwork in a room with a floral-patterned wall and a dark-painted brick wall.
A white double door opens into a room under renovation with a ladder inside; green glass panels and construction materials are scattered on the grey carpet floor.

If you need some ideas for your next broken-plan design, here are a few amazing creations I have found to inspire you!
