Space planning solves how a room works, not how it looks. It is the layout on its own, without the finishes.

Most rooms that feel wrong are not decorated badly — they are laid out badly. The sofa blocks the path to the window, there is nowhere to put a bag down at the door, the dining table seats six but only four can get past it. I plan those things to scale so you can see the room work before you spend anything on it.

What I handle for you

  • Measured drawings of the room as it stands, so every decision is made against real dimensions
  • Scaled layout options showing furniture placement, walkways, and how people actually move through
  • Storage planned where you need it, rather than wherever a cabinet happens to fit
  • Advice on which walls, doors, or openings are worth changing — and which are not worth the cost
  • A layout you can hand to a contractor, a furniture store, or keep and act on yourself

A clear path from start to finish

01

I measure the room

Dimensions, windows, doors, outlets, and the fixed things that are not moving.

02

You tell me how it fails

Where you get stuck, what you avoid using, and what you wish the room could do.

03

I draw it to scale

One or two layout options with real furniture dimensions, so nothing is a guess.

Questions

Frequently asked

How is this different from home design?
Space planning stops at the layout. Home design carries on into color, materials, furniture, and lighting. Some clients only need the layout solved and want to handle the rest themselves.
Do I need this if I am not renovating?
Often yes. A lot of rooms improve enormously just from moving what is already in them and buying one correctly sized piece.
Will you tell me if a wall should come down?
Yes, and just as often I will tell you it should not. Opening a wall is expensive and does not always fix the problem you actually have.
Can I use the plan with my own contractor?
That is the point. The drawings are yours to hand to whoever does the work.
