Home for the Holidays: Open Spaces Perfect for Hosting

The holiday season is all about bringing people together—whether it’s family gatherings, festive dinners, or cozy get-togethers with friends. Instead of being in separate spaces, open layouts allow for easy flow and interaction, making your home feel inviting and comfortable for guests. 

Here are some of our favorite open-concept spaces, perfect for any Holiday get-together! 

Residence on Melrose

The hub of this modernized 1860s farmhouse in Newton consists of a large open living space with three distinct areas: the living room, dining room, and kitchen. These spaces interconnect to provide a generous area for entertaining and comfortable living, perfect for holiday gatherings where you want everyone together in one space. In the kitchen, rich walnut cabinetry ties together the masculine and modern undertones of the home.

Modern Farmhouse on Beaver

The design of the modern farmhouse is perfectly suited for entertaining. The main floor features a large open kitchen, breakfast area, and family room. The coffered and V-groove ceiling in the kitchen helps delineate the spaces. The vaulted wood plank ceilings add texture to the Family Room, while the ledge-stone fireplace anchors the space and provides visual and physical warmth.
