They make spaces feel larger, foster family connection, and enable hosts to interact more easily with guests. For years, the first step in any luxury remodel was &#8220;knocking down that wall.&#8221; However, the popularity of open spaces has recently declined, particularly among aging and growing families.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People are looking to escape the noise that open-concept layouts create. The desire for privacy, quiet rooms, varied styles throughout the house, and a reduction in clutter are major contributors to the decline in traction for open floor plans. Additionally, as parents age and grandchildren enter the mix, people look for ways to add privacy and separation to the household. The solution: Closed and hybrid concepts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re living in an open-concept home, there are several ways to implement closed-concept solutions without abandoning the luxury feel.\u00a0Skyler Buckner, founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/riseaboveremodeling.com\/\">Rise Above Remodeling<\/a> in Phoenix, has been remodeling luxury homes for almost 20 years and is here to share the downlow on walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"680\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-20035 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-1024x680.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-380x252.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-800x531.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-1160x770.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142733\/kitchen-hameline_final1-scaled-2.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Close off entertainment areas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formal dining areas are typically separate, open rooms attached to the living area. Sectioning it off with beautiful French doors is an effective way to separate the rooms. This allows you to close the door to hide clutter or utilize the room differently. However, when you want to entertain, you can open the space for guests. Arizona provides great weather for outdoor entertainment. For those who like to keep recreation separate but still want an open feel, opening up the wall with a glass cascading door is a great option. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It opens the room up while closing off the outdoor area, reducing noise and distractions. Cascading doors also let you open the entire area when desired,&#8221; Buckner said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"769\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-20038 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-1024x769.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-260x195.jpg 260w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-380x286.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-800x601.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-1160x872.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142805\/closedroom-2.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Expand pantries and separate the mudroom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons people are trying to close off rooms is to reduce clutter. Adding a large butler pantry does just that. Not only does it provide space to hide clutter and appliances, but it also often extends into other rooms, such as the dining room or living room. This adds to the closed-concept feel without taking away too much entertainment space.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Laundry rooms and mudrooms are often combined in modern spaces. However, it\u2019s a good idea to separate them if you\u2019re trying to add storage space, reduce noise, or you\u2019re just looking for that closed-concept feeling. A closed-off mudroom that is attached to the laundry room is a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mudroom provides storage space for sports equipment, coats, shoes, and more. An attached, closed-off laundry room provides privacy while allowing immediate access to wash clothes upon entry, if needed. This is a great option for those with kids or grandchildren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"683\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-20040 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-1024x683.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/18142816\/36_kitchen-remodel-in-anthem-arizona-1-1.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Close garage space and lofts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have extra garage space, closing off a room in that three-car garage is a great option. You can easily turn this into an in-law suite, game room, library, home office, or anything else you might utilize. This provides a room, typically located away from the other bedrooms, to foster privacy and reduce noise.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If you reside in a modern, multi-story home, chances are there\u2019s a loft in the upstairs area. Closing off the space with a wall gives the floor a more enclosed, private feeling,&#8221; Buckner said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both options are great for those providing assisted living, people who need space for grandkids, or those who are constantly hosting guests.\u00a0 A luxury home isn\u2019t just a large space that looks grand. It offers peace and functionality to truly enjoy it. Moving toward a hybrid model isn\u2019t about walling yourself in. It\u2019s about intentional design that respects the way you live. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By blending the airy feel of an open home with the sanctuary of private, specialized rooms, you create a residence that evolves with your family\u2019s changing needs.\u00a0Learn more at <a
