Closed concept kitchen house plans

These homes show that it can be worth it to go against the open-at-all-costs trend.

Open-plan kitchens may be all the rage, but one writer finds their flaws. They may boost property values, but a closed-off kitchen can save you some dough.

If you prefer some separation between your living, dining room, and kitchen, these house plans are for you. We love these not-so-open floor plans.

Open concept kitchens get all the glory these days and many of our remodeling designs feature this type of layout, but there are some situations where a closed kitchen is a better option.

Stunning curb appeal without needing a big lot: what's not to like? This exclusive farmhouse design draws all eyes to the wraparound porch, which even includes a screened portion for enjoying the outdoors on less-than-perfect days.
