The index identifies three decisive variables: how clearly each zone is defined, how much soft surface the room contains, and where seating sits relative to the kitchen sightline. All three are furnishing decisions, meaning most uncomfortable open plan rooms can be corrected without structural work. The analysis sets out clearance figures for seating, dining and circulation zones, explains why a sofa pushed to the perimeter undermines enclosure, and argues that a large rug should be treated as an acoustic purchase. Guidance is drawn from furniture specification and clearance requirements, with no estimated data used. The index is offered as a reference for media reporting on UK open plan homes and interior layout."}
