I finally stopped defending open floor plans after a contractor friend broke it down
Had a buddy who does high-end remodels in Austin explain why everyone hates them now. He said the real issue is noise and smell travel, not the look. I used to think people were just being picky, but he showed me a $40k job where the kitchen vent did nothing for the living room. Has anyone else flipped on a design trend after hearing the practical side from a pro?
