Layout & Spaces — Interior Design Glossary
Open plan, broken plan, banquette, nook — the words that describe how a home is shaped and inhabited. This pillar defines the layout and spatial vocabulary that runs through modern floor plans.
Layout is the bones of a home and the vocabulary around it is split between architects and designers. Architects say open concept, kitchen island, entryway. Designers say zoning, focal point, layering. This pillar covers both, because both come up the moment you start planning a renovation. You will find the structural terms (open concept, built-ins, entryway), the planning techniques (zoning, layering, focal point), and the lifestyle decisions (e-design, xeriscape) that shape how a layout actually gets used.
